Pressure from the Miccosukee indigenous community helped shut down Alligator Auschwitz, flimsily erected on tribal ground in the fragile Everglades. Maybe the influential Miccosukee could take on Ann Coulter?

Yes, I'm in favor of this! Ann Culter is such a bitch! She's always been this way!

While at Dartmouth, Ann Coulter and Dinesh D’Souza gleefully outed gay students.

She is an evil person who has gotten away with so much harm. I don't understand it. For decades!

She thrives on being controversial right? So now that she's getting so old and looks like a hag, she can't be the wet dream of weird rethuglican boys and Bill Maher doesn't find her sexy enough any more or interesting to fake spar with so she resorts to outrageous statements for right wing cred. Her last book bombed cause those people don't read.

When was she attractive? I somehow missed that even when she was on "Politically Incorrect" a few times.

🤣🤣🤣 I think Bill liked her but there's no accounting for taste.

Ann Coulter once smirked in a leopard-print miniskirt from the cover of The New York Times Magazine. Owning the libs, she thought. I understand and share the growing invisibility of women as we age, but for a self-styled incel’s dream, Ann’s increasing irrelevance has gotta hurt. Good.

I'd say she and Bill Maher are birds of a feather, except, he pretend to be liberal so she deserves a microcrumb of credit for not pretending to be liberal.

Why give Ann credit for not pretending to be liberal? Being awesomely mean doesn’t show that she’s “conservative,” or “telling it like it is.” She just glories in her ability to be a playground bully writ very, very large.

I call that "facility" the same thing. I'm thankful for the efforts of the Miccosukee indigenous community.

Nothing says ‘degraded and reactionary’ like the Coultergeist.

I love the play on words. She is looking as haggard as a poltergeist and as wretched as a crone.

I feel for you. She is a horror. May she vanish from our sight. She doesn’t deserve to be here on Substack. She is vile. She doesn’t deserve to be read.

Omg! She’s on Substack? I think we should mount a hate campaign against her. Who’s in?

The misogynist in heels? I don't let them have free rent in my head. She is exttemely ignorant and uses this shock in a feeble attempt to stay relevant.

I did not even know she was on Substack. How can she be on here?? She should be made to leave. I have never heard her say a decent thing the few times I've had the displeasure of seeing her.

I don't understand how anyone could have said that after the way the Native Americans have been lied to, stolen from, cheated, and treated. I guess when you grow up priveleged, you think whatever you say is okay. Even if you eventually delete it.

I'm a subscriber of Closer to the Edge; it's what brought me to Substack & you're #1 for me.

I saw Alan Dershowitz on Substack trolling for followers. So I told Dershowitz he was in the wrong place and called him a shitbag. I wanted to go back and add some more but I didn’t. He only showed up again when a story was on about him being refused pierogis in Martha’s Vineyard. So I thought it was a too little karma too late.

All right. Ann Fucking Coulter pushed me from pretty goddamn Close to the Edge to right on over.

I just now bought a paid annual subscription to you.

My very first paid subscription, mind you. I have this irrational policy against paying for a subscription. I understand the importance of subsidizing you brilliant writers, and I sure free subscribe to a lot of you, but, in many cases, because paywall, I can get no further than the headline. Since I damn sure can't pay to read all of y'all, I chose to pay for none. I said it was irrational.

But this Ann Coulter bullshit, no no no. Not happening.

Be sure to let us know when you overtake the bitch.

Please be more considerate of banshees, mildew, asbestos, cockroaches, and maggots. Comparing them to Ann Hart Coulter (AHC) is an insult to any one of them. Perhaps a better comparison would be to any one in the current administration.

My gripe with them is when they get into my compost. truthfully that happens when meat is introduced into the compost. (Not the maggots fault).🧐.

If we survive this era and start to turn towards climate sanity it will be because of the climate leadership of Native American tribes and their sovereign status. So grateful for their climate action.

Look at her. She is dewy. In just the same way the bottom of the garbage bag gets that wet, slippery, noxious film that has dripped down from last Tuesday's baked fish scraps.

Coulter the female Roger Stone, so many get the free pass on the gop algo track. No real talent at all imo riding on the coat tails of their own fragile supposed privilege and ego. The sound of her voice has always gotten on my nerves. Another idiot supposed influencer who thinks they’re smarter than they really are but always also thinking that they’re even relevant. I feel the same way about Djt and co. Rinse wash repeat with these people

As a a gay man, with 3 sisters and many amazing women in my life, I will apologize for this comment in advance. Coulter is and always has been a stupid fucking, rotting bitch cunt. Again, I apologize for the “C” word, but what the fuck else you gonna call this waste of human DNA?

I don’t know why the saying, “See You next Tuesday” came to define the word.

The true definition of the word is an acronym:

Cannot

Normal
