We're two or three Trump speeches away from Vance holding up applause signs during them, aren't we.

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.

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

I don’t trust our military any more than I trust any American institution now.

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!

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.

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.

“Note seven: JK Rowling is human garbage.

We're Team Hermione. You really have to wonder why Rowling is so hyper-focused on being anti-trans. What's he trying to hide?! More:

NBC News”

BEING TRANSGENDER IS NOT A JOKE. I AM NOT A JOKE. FUCK YOU.

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
