‘Disrespectful’

It’s Monday. There are 295 days until the midterm elections. Trump tries to break the Fed, a shot in Alaska and Elon Leon is a dang nazi.

Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. And it’s just getting warmed up.

Note: Well, Sexy Patriots, they’re done pretending. The president of the United States told reporters last night that Renee Good was shot in the head because she was “disrespectful.” We almost punched a fucking hole in the wall when we saw it. But we also spent this weekend watching Americans rise up and protest all over this country. Yeah, our yam-titted president is about to find out just how disrespectful we can be…

Git. His. Ass. This is how it needs to be. These dirty sonsofbitches should never know a second of peace outside of a Fox News greenroom or a Klan meeting or a highway rest stop glory hole. Let them hear our righteous profanity every time they show their butt-ugly faces. And it wasn’t just these folks in Target cussing out Greg Bovino. There were a ton of videos like this. Because America ain’t scared. No. We’re fucking pissed.

Two of our bedrock beliefs since Trump took office were that 1. He has no idea who he’s fucking with. And 2. He is great at turning everyday Americans into heroes by forcing us to oppose his evil. Well, in Minnesota, we’re seeing both of these beliefs in action. America is tougher, better and smells nicer than President Cankles. And he’s about to find that out. Y’all have a blessed day. And thank you to everyone who protested peacefully this weekend. It was sexy as hell.

Note two: The New York Times sat down with Trump for two hours last week. They didn’t ask about Epstein, they didn’t push back on his lies about the 2020 election and they didn’t call out any of his bullshit. But they did get him to admit he wishes he had sent the National Guard to steal voting machines. So that’s something to look forward to. More: NY Times

Note three: Elizabeth Warren is calling out trash like Kirsten Sinema and Democrats who put donors over people. Get ‘em, Liz. More: HuffPost

Note four: Trump will destroy NATO this year. Probably by invading Greenland like a total dumbshit. Putin’s investment is really paying off. More: NBC News

Note five: THIS is the energy we’re looking for from local police. Word to the wise — don’t fuck with Philly.

Note six: Damn. This one hurts. RIP to Bob Weir. Sam is a Deadhead from way back who first saw Weir while tripping on two-and-a-half hits of acid at Deer Creek, Indiana. Our deepest sympathies to the other heads out there. Fare thee well, Bobby. More: Variety

Note seven: America is the Soviet Union now. We even change our Smithsonian displays so as not to upset Dear Leader. How fucking embarrassing! More: NBC News

Note eight: Iran is on fire as protestors battle the government. We stand with people yearning for freedom. In Tehran or Minneapolis. More: Associated Press

Note nine: We’ve kinda been down on Dave Matthews ever since the Chicago poop thing, but this has us putting Satellite on the stereo. More: Mediaite

Note 10: Nikki Glaser is freaking hilarious. And it was ballsy as hell to call out CBS on CBS. Don’t you wish everyone had guts like this?

Note 11: Trump says the Civil Rights movement led to white people being “very badly treated.” It’s a good reminder that he’s a racist piece of shit who was handed everything but still whines about how unfair everything is. More: Raw Story

Note 12: Steve Bannon and Rahm Emanuel are gonna run for president. We think this is a great opportunity for both of them to find out just how much people hate them. More: HuffPost

Note 13: Props to Dave Letterman for calling out C-BJ. We’re so glad everyone can see how much Bari Weiss sucks.

Note 14: This one is pretty funny. Last week Trump had the oil executives come to the White House to kiss his ass and make his dumb Venezuela shit look smart. Except even Exxon-Mobil was like thanks but no thanks. So Trump is cutting them out. More: Mediaite

Note 15: The Norwegian Nobel Institute had to clarify that prizes can’t be transferred. How fucking embarrassing. More: Independent

Note 16: The miserable scum who stole Speaker Pelosi’s lectern during the attack on the Capitol is now running for office. So yeah we’re about to find out just how fucked Florida really is. More: NBC News

Note 17: Y’all want some goosebumps? Check out this church full of resisters in Minneapolis. We’re gonna win.

Note 18: Trump is threatening to veto the Obamacare subsidies if they pass the Senate. We fucking dare him. More: HuffPost

Note 19: For today’s Happy Ending, please enjoy this video of this ICE fuckhead falling and busting his nazi ass. Feel free to add your own humiliating theme music…

Note 20: And on that hilarious note, let’s go do some news! We sure hope y’all are keeping your heads up. We know it ain’t easy. But just remember — Trump fucked up when he fucked with you. Love y’all!

Fucking with the Fed
Jerome Powell fired back in a video last night after it was revealed Trump’s corrupt DOJ is investigating him and sent subpoenas to the board. Unlike a lot of cowards Trump has targeted, Powell did not mince words. He made clear in his video that he is being attacked because he won’t lower interest rates to make Trump happy. And yeah, it’s really fucking obvious to the whole world that’s what’s happening here. The only thing keeping Trump afloat right now is the stock market, and we’re stunned by how eager he is to fuck that up. We’re seeing some pushback from Republicans on the Hill, but we all know how that goes. More: Federal Reserve, CNBC

Come through, Alaska!
Some big news on the Senate front this morning as Mary Peltola announced she is running for the U.S. Senate against dipshit Dan Sullivan. Given the map, winning back the Senate has always seemed like a longshot. But if we’re gonna do it, this is a big boost in that direction. It’s such a bummer trying to figure out how or if to support Senate Democratic candidates when they’ve let us down so many times before. And frankly we don’t blame you if you tell them to eat shit. But the Senate is where Supreme Court nominees are confirmed, so we should probably get over ourselves and try to win that motherfucker. More: Associated Press

About that salute
When Elon Leon isn’t building child sex abuse machines or kissing orange ass, he is on twitter tweeting about how dangerous the world is for white people. Yeah, the coding is gone. Dude is just straight up saying it now, and the mainstream media just doesn’t seem to notice or care. It has always been obvious that Elon Leon is a racist piece of shit (looking at you, Kara Swisher), but man he’s not hiding it at all these days. He also recently announced that he’s going to fund Republicans this year. Sure seems like these two things are related and should be a huge national scandal. Right? More: MSNOW
