Trump 2.0 keeps producing the sh*t and I am ready and waiting with my British shovel. Join me for the next round of Felon lunacy. Virtual support tea provided.
As ever Rebecca well said. I’m still basking in the little beam of light that shone through this morning from Wisconsin. Poor Musk rat. 20 million dollars on the campaign and several more to maga voters in his unconstitutional lottery and he lost. Rejoice in the everyday little victories. I’m told by an American friend that there is a nation wide protest on the 5 April by all the decent Americans who are “sick of this shit”
Yay! Nationwide protest sounds amazing. Literally as I write more heroes emerge… we will turn this tide of hate and harm, one protest, one post at a time!
I love that you remind us that we are ALL in this together! Whether American, British, French, Greenlander, Danish, etc we must all fight this MAGA Mentality of cruelty, self-service, bigotry & hatred of ‘other’. Bless you & all here that follow you & share your feelings. I’m an American who is ashamed of what this crazy-ass administration is doing to the US and to the rest of the world.
The shame is all theirs Mary. Be proud of your resistance. We are all in this together, we all live under the same big sky. The fights is ours… as is the victory! Glad you are part of this community of revolutionary tea drinkers. Cheers! ☕️
🤣… that’s so funny Daniel… both my sisters have English degrees. My eldest sister has a degree in English Studies and was also an ESL teacher. She constantly corrects me (she has done this since we were kids)…. I don’t mind though, you can’t help yourself you English teachers!
I meant a compliment from my husband but I was just being sarcastic (he reads my Substack). He was very complimentary about us both and really enjoyed the podcast. It really was fun and we should do it again… it’s not like we won’t have plenty of material to talk about! 😆
Thank you for being in it with us! I’m an American who is also so sick of this sh*t, and until yesterday’s 25+ hour speech by Senator Booker, I was feeling absolutely hopeless. I will be one among many protesters on Saturday, in my home state. Send us some good vibes please! 🙏 Most of us are older white folks, so we’re as safe as anyone could be around here, but we’re still a bit worried. Worried and hopeful we’ll be heard, all at once!
Oh I am sending you tons of good vibes Lisa… I’m only sad ☹️ I can’t be there myself! The tide will turn, I am convinced of it… it won’t be quick or easy but it will happen. Wave a placard 🪧 for me will you?
The daffodils have bloomed at last. My seed-sown aquilegias are growing, the first anemone has bloomed and its my favourite deep purple colour, the cherry tree is blooming wonderfully this year, and there are lambs boinging in the fields across the way.
I would love to do that, the material practically writes itself to be honest… these guys, comedy gold (if they weren’t so frickin dangerous). If anyone has any ideas please shout out. I’ve just found out an online publication called the Wonkette from one of my readers … maybe they have room for an angry, erudite, tea drinking British mother? Stranger things have happened… a bloody Felon and sex offender became president of America. Twice. 😮
I used to be a magazine and newspaper writer. DM me and I might be able to help guide you a little, although I have zero media connections at this point.
It took me a long time to build up the confidence to start writing. The wonderful editor of Wonkette gave me a chance and I've been writing a monthly recipe post for them for 2 years now.
I'll be putting more effort into writing recipes on my own Substack once I finish my History degree this year.
Brilliant… we always love new cake ideas at sick of this sh*t… you have found your people here! Happy to support your work and look forward to your posts… I’ve just subscribed 🍰
Oh lemon drizzle… be still my heart ❤️… you can’t beat a nice slice of lemon drizzle and a cup of tea… with so much to celebrate it would be rude not to… post us a pic if you have one, we can always enjoy one virtually 🍰 or drop a recipe/ pic in the Sick of this sh*t chat (it’s a free chat even though it looks like it’s not.. writing I can do, tech is beyond me!). 😆

Honestly now Rebecca, you're way too kind - 'wonderful' is pretty misleading, you might've just caught me on a good day 🤣
This was a beautiful and epic screed. So therapeutic to read, it helps make sense of all this utter madness.
You are my kind of wonderful Daniel! My husband watched the podcast and concluded ‘wow, what a top guy!’… I’m still waiting for my compliment 😉
Glad you enjoyed reading the post and it had some therapeutic value. We will overcome Daniel… one cup of tea at a time! ☕️
Oh, I think you’re wonderful too! (or did you mean a compliment from your husband?) 🤣
You’ll have to forgive me for this, it’s the English teacher in me speaking (and I can’t resist) -
Compare:
We will overcome Daniel
We will overcome, Daniel
It’s not me that you need to overcome 🤣🤣🤣
Or in the case of Russia, not charge at all.
Pity the penguins of Heard and McDonlad islands though …they will be having sleepless nights now! 🐧
🤣… that’s so funny Daniel… both my sisters have English degrees. My eldest sister has a degree in English Studies and was also an ESL teacher. She constantly corrects me (she has done this since we were kids)…. I don’t mind though, you can’t help yourself you English teachers!

Get a room, you two! We shall overcomb. Or, in the light of the tariffs, We shall overcharge.

Thank you, and I will think of you and everyone around the world cheering us on.
🙌🏻
A great roundup of heroes indeed!! Thank you! ❤️🙏😍
Glad you like it Jim.. aren’t we all just too sick of this sh*t to remain silent!!
“walking cadaver” is the BEST adjective for miller, EVER!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Feel free to use at any and every possible opportunity!
Thank you so much for all your support of us women folk over here in Handmaid’sTaleLand. We need ALL YOUR ENERGY!!! (And thanks for the cadaver😉)
I’m here for you… when they come for one of us, they come for all of us and God help them for thinking they will succeed! 💪🏻
I’m in awe of your eloquence and stamina…all I can muster is ‘Twats!’…all of ‘em!
‘Twats’ is good… not sure the non British understand it though!
Another great post . Feel like tossing my cast iron pan at the bastards. It's the Hands off Protest tomorrow.✌️🌼💪
Thanks Frances… wave another placard for me 🪧 … we are so sick of this shit 💩!
The daffodils have bloomed at last. My seed-sown aquilegias are growing, the first anemone has bloomed and its my favourite deep purple colour, the cherry tree is blooming wonderfully this year, and there are lambs boinging in the fields across the way.
Aaaaand, relax.
Until the next time.
Sounds lovely Zivah. Very zen 🧘. Enjoy.
The next time will be coming. 😕
How fun would it be if Rasmussen and Carney got a joint Nobel Peace Prize (for not choking the batshittery out of you know)?
Absolutely… they have both got my vote Corlis.
I love me a 'new' word. Batshittery! So apt for these days.
’ ittery’ is the gift that keeps on giving… fuckwittery, batshittery…. Use it at your leisure.
You are such a kind and sharing person.
I agree wholeheartedly. We still have one person, one vote. Wisconsin proved that it doesn’t matter how much money you have the people have the vote.
Go Wisconsin! Just the inspiration we need really now… there is more of us than there is of them, one vote is all it needs!
Have you considered trying to get a humor column somewhere? Making commentary on Trump and Musk?
Who would have me? Answers in comments please!
I would love to do that, the material practically writes itself to be honest… these guys, comedy gold (if they weren’t so frickin dangerous). If anyone has any ideas please shout out.

Thanks for the suggestion Amy, much appreciated.

Thanks so much Amy, that is really kind.
All this tea could do with some cake to accompany it.
I recommend a slice of lemon drizzle cake (vegan versions are nice too, if you want an egg-free version).
Tea and cake to celebrate Cory Booker, Mark Carney, the Wisconsin Supreme Court results, and the continued downfall of Elon Musk.
It is the way
Oh yes please. I am such a big cake fan.. where have you been all my life? ☺️

I saw. Thank you.

I'll be writing up a recipe for this weekend. I can link to it when I post it on Sunday.
Thanks from 🇨🇦 Rebecca.
We don’t have as much of the dry wit that your side of the pond exhibits, but we sure can appreciate it. And we produced Leslie Nielsen.
Here’s to the Commonwealth & to reclaiming “Four Eyes” from insult to freedom fighters.
(And to the entire free world: NATO-🇺🇸, EU-🇭🇺&🇹🇷?, La Francophonie, our Asia Pacific partners, and many others 🥂)
Elon and Felon. JD Pance used to be a writer. How could a writer say “cold as shit?” Shit is not cold. It is notoriously warm and steamy. Ask any fly.
JD should know… he is full of the stuff.
