Hey Sam, Hey Adam...and all you SP's out there, Another day in what the fuck land.

Ben over at the Meidas touch has a really good piece on this Albania Kushner BS.

If you want to hear the modern day Marie Antionette...you should listen to the Blond nepo baby, talk. It's astonishing. It's like these people are so precious, so above the common folk...

You really can't imagine how these people talk until you hear one open their yaps.

Maybe the Albanians can take care of this problem for us. Here's the link;

Hopefully the good folks in Albania will kick his scrawny grifty self out of their beautiful, nature loving country.

Note 9. This Albania story is pure gold. The people are practically rioting in Albania. Go hard on it.

Fuck you misogynists for dissing Katie Porter. You should follow your own advice and stay out of primaries dickheads

Sam Youngman's avatar

I disagree but I respect and appreciate your rage and profanity.

Katie fucked up big time when she left her congressional seat to run against Adam Schiff for senator. She really should have stayed.

Wow … over-react much? 😳😵‍💫

I didn’t sense any misogyny in the Porter comment.

Seems to me that Swalwell may have been the real and “primary” misogynist villain in this entire “jungle” drama series.

Eyes on the prize … which must be a sole, viable, and winnable California Democrat gubernatorial candidate. 🏆☮️

Kaitlin Collins can handle Trump while the male reporters stand there with their thumbs up their asses! And not smiling might I add! Kaitlin is full proof that our next president should be a woman!!!!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Spot on, Linda! Kaitlin is one cool, calm, intelligent, strategic journalist. Tough as nails. Which is evidently threatening to some guys with thin skin and no..... well, you get it.

More urging to push hard on the corruption-affordability link

Always link the two in any messages going out so it gets firmly implanted in voter’s minds so that whenever they hear about either concern they will think of the other.

Rahm Emanuel told Semafor that Democrats “should sharpen their arguments about President Donald Trump’s self-dealing while in office — by hitching them to affordability-focused messaging.” Said Emanuel: “This is a gem sitting there. I think the Democrats … have been episodic in touching it, rather than front and center. Corruption as part of the affordability narrative is more chess, where affordability alone is more checkers.”

Democrats zero in on an anti-corruption message: From the Politics Desk. Democrats think their secret sauce in 2026 is targeting Trump and Republicans on corruption. “We’re doing it in every corner of the country,” said one national Democratic strategist. “And the idea is it’s an affordability cycle, and so everybody cares about affordability, No. 1, when you pair the message with the reason that your costs are going up is because politicians care more about themselves, they’re corrupt, they’re bought by corporate donors or they’re lining their own pockets, and that’s why they’re not looking out for you, that’s the most potent mix of the two arguments.”

House Democrats launch new anti-corruption caucus targeting Trump-era ethics concerns. And, importantly, what specifically will a) Democrats promise to do if elected to counter abuse/democracy/corruption that they can campaign on as well; and b) Democrats promise to do if elected to increase affordability.

The Shonda Rhimes oval office is SO lovely, clean, tidy, professional, uncluttered... unlike the current ghastly ghoul's version of it. Thank you, Shonda, for the reminder!!!

I may be late to the party on this - but we all know the real reason Trump doesn't like mail-in ballots... because they have to be COUNTED and can't be manipulated, unlike electronic voting machines.

Also - I voted for Katie Porter and she was at least in the double-digits AND was the only one that didn't take corporate donations. She was also endorsed by the San Francisco Chronicle, and they wrote that she was the only one with a feasible plan for all the policies she talked about, unlike the other 999 Dem candidates that were on the ballot. Rusty Hicks, the CA Dem leader needs to be fired over this debacle.

Was so happy to see Albanians protesting the Jered/Ivanka deal. Of course, it also made me think of an old Cheers episode where Sam is trying to pass a class in geography by singing the facts he needs to memorize...

"Albania, Albania,

You border on the Adriatic,

You are mainly mountainous,

And your major export is chrome!"

Before the protests, this was all I really knew about Albania--and I've no idea if chrome is still the major export.

io bonini's avatar

Hey PR., That skit is very funny...Chromium IS an export of Albania. We've all learned something new. Thanks to you.

“We can only assume that right now the HHS Secretary is hard at work trying to figure out how to have sex with these things.” What a line. Great laugh out loud. Thanks. And I don’t think trump cares at all about the slush fund. He just wants the IRS immunity.

As the felon has and will continue to do, he will keep poking at our legal and Constitutional norms to find a way to get his way with this robbing of the American tax payers needless expenditure! We must keep our eyes open for his next attempt which maybe a clandestine angle! So beware!
