George Clooney doesn't even

live in the US anymore. He

and his very wealthy wife live

in France and have a villa in

Italy I think, or Spain. She sits

on the International Criminal

Court. He bloviates.

As always TC, thanks for

keeping it real, interesting

and a great place where we

are free to speak and cuss.

His villa is on Lake Como.

Perhaps he should stay there, STFU, and just send money he gets for “acting.”

I knew when I subscribed to TAFM that I'd be getting lots of great quotes to share. Clearly, I underestimated.

Echoing Jack Cooper, thanks for keeping it real, and amusing as hell.

In virtually every WH presser I've seen, it's always been the reporters from foreign outlets asking the best and most substantive questions. Our guys are too focused on "gotcha" to ask good questions any more. I'm old enough to remember actual good questions in press conferences.

I would comment, but lately I am just without words. I do appreciate your efforts and everyone's comments.

Well, there's one unlooked-for silver lining: a rich new vein of creative profanity.

Has any pundit or pooh-bah actually come up with an alternate Democratic ticket that could possibly win in November? Do they think that some white (accent on "white") knight is going to come riding in and take the convention by storm? I really don't understand what, or if, they're thinking.

They aren't thinking. That's a reaction and a dramatic rendition of something.

My current theory is that as far as they're concerned, a pundit's job is to come up with grand ideas. It's someone else's job to implement them.

Because most pundits are too fucking stupid to be able to carry out a plan - it's why they're pundits, one of those "jobs" for the otherwise-unemployables.

My thoughts have indeed been running along those lines. <g>

Maybe Prez will bring out his line again to Doocy…”My memory is so bad I let you speak.” 😂

George who? Oh that goofy old guy whose major starring role these days is in every other ad for coffee on all the streaming and terrestrial video services. In which he portrays a wealthy loser.

I am way too tired to watch tonight's shitshow. That's because I read Clooney's op ed and thought "this is really rather fact free. WHY was Biden so blasted?" So I have spent the last few hours figuring it out. It is WAY too long to post as a comment, but I hope you will click through and read my own report on my Substack. And maybe share it with your much wider readership.

Joe is smacking them out of the ballpark as I write this.

WHEE. I’m suffering from FactCheck Lag

Cheering you on. A worthier goal would be 30 minutes. You are up to it.

All the people bloviating a la Clooney are wealthy and can essentially escape from a damned future under Trump. Focus on who can win, support them, and stay focused.

I’m mailing Clooney a Golden Petard special delivery, upon which I expect you to up with him hoist, by the ankles

Bet Joe never thought his most energetic opposition would be his dems

Glad you're watching this crap and not me, I look forward to your report.
