It’s Tuesday. There are 399 days until the midterm elections. Trump trolls Democratic leadership, ‘Women for Trump’ get a wake-up call and a draft-dodging coward declares war on America.
New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie described the speech as “some of the most loser shit I have ever seen in my life” and he marveled that Hegseth had hauled in military leaders away from their jobs to watch it. “Can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer—decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees, and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise—and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand Jordan Belfort seminar?” Bouie asked.
Wish folks would stop focusing on that and instead pay attention to the risk, growing by the day, that surrounds them. The Midterms will cause chaos and violent crackdown in the streets, if not before. His supporters don't care what is in those files and wouldn't do anything if they did. Soon, no one will be able to do much of anything - about anything. Gotta galvanize now!
I think I can imagine how bad it will be, and maintain my view. (They'll point to Clinton and Gates, et al, too.) If nothing to date turned them away, that won't, either. By then, their views and any tegret over their ongoing moral failings won't do much in the face of massive vote rigging. I don't know what people like Marc Elias will do! Need a million of him. It is very grim indeed, and I'm Canadian, too (of Ukrainian extraction). And worried.
Today we witnessed a disgraceful, embarrassing show of contempt for our military. First, an alcoholic, tattooed national guard major who commanded a platoon, lectured senior military leaders on how to be warriors, how to dress, how to act, and to ignore the Geneva Conventions. Then, a demented old criminal held a political rally that was so inappropriate it was vomit inducing. To treat our military leader in such a manner is disgusting. Both Hegseth and trmp need removed from office.
Just wondering why the ICE officer, who pushed down Monica Elizabeth Moreta-Galarza at the federal courthouse in New York City, was not named. We read every other person's name in that story except the actual ICE Agent that perpetrated the assault. Why is that?
I had a fantasy that they all walked out. hahaha how embarrassing. A fOX news host standing in front of those respected people-They gotta be thinkin...wtf. You have to note the photo op tho, reminds me of something right out of the third reich.
Insanely good AND insanely scary at the same time. The Dumbfuck twins at Quantico defy description. Thank god Adam and Sam were able to keep it together and write today’s post. And 3 cheers for being < 400 days.
Wow — always love your stuff, and this time you’ve really outdone your usual brilliance — a callback to McHale’s Navy AND Jeb “Please clap” Bush!?! Thanks so much for the inspiration, laughs and morale-boost.
It might be because I'm not on Bluesky but Hegseth and Trump videos wouldn't play. This hasn't been an issue before with your newsletter, did they block it?
How do I love thee, newsletter. Somehow you elicit a good chuckle out of the goon squad cosplaying as people in charge., not the actual news but how they reveal themselves
We're two or three Trump speeches away from Vance holding up applause signs during them, aren't we.
wonder if there will be any repercussions for the silence for hogsbreath and whozitz
most excellent !!
😂😂😂 Mental image popped into my head!

Ask DUI Hire Pete to do ONE pull up correctly (he can't)... and as someone on Bluesky said, "Must have been an ANTIFA skateboard". HA HA HA HA
HOLD THE LINE! Release the Epstein files! Under 400 days!

Not true.
If his supporters wouldn’t care, those files would’ve been leaked at an opportune moment.
Prepare yourself. It’s expected to be heinous enough to even drive away the hardcore MAGA cult.

good fucking question . any ideas ?? lol
Time for a military coup to upend this illegal occupation force. Hey, they are all in town🤷🏻♂️
I had a fantasy of that roomful of military heads grabbing the two idiots and hauling them away and taking over the government...
I like your fantasy, think I might dwell on it

Adam and Sam,
Keep up the cussing and fucking with tRump and his band of shitheads!! You are the first thing I look forward to in the morning!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dear Democratic Leadership: Wake up and smell the Mamdani for gods sake! The people are not listening to you because you are not listening to them!
Even when the news is bad (as it is so often these days), your newsletter makes me smile. Thank you for that!
Insanely good post this morning!! Thank you SO for your insights, swearing, and never failing humor!! 💙💙💙💙💙

I don’t trust our military any more than I trust any American institution now.
I’m still back on Democrats trying to break up Trump’s marriage?
I don’t think any amount of coercion could get a person to gaze on another person with such disgust&disdain&loathing.
I give Eric credit for knowing the exact cost of Melania agreeing to appear in public with Donald albeit in disguise
One look at Melania next to her Bloated Yam and you can tell she hates him.
well, make yer bed and all that
And,I would opine that it has been highly profitable.
the yam is holding the keys to her Einstein visa you know.
In the safe.
with some Epstein photos of her and her manager. lol

Great piece on L. Peltier! Thanks for sharing!
Once again, I re-stacked items from this by the gross.
