Queen Bey Day

Today’s Big Stuff. October 25, 2024.

Happy Friday! There are 11 days until Election Day. Trump says he would fire Jack Smith, it’s Bey Day in the Lone Star State and Elon Leon is a damn traitor. 

Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. But not as well as our candidate. 

Note: How we holding up, Sexy Patriots? Well you smell terrific. In fact, you smell like a damn winner. And not just any winner, but the world motherfucking champion of kicking MAGA ass and taking names. Was that a gratuitous use of the MF-word? Yes. Yes, it was. But it’s how we wanted to set up this clip of Samuel L. Jackson at VP Harris’ rally in Georgia last night…

Oh hell yes. Not only are we freaking loving that Mr. Jackson is on our side and vocal about it. But we are over-the-moon crap-yourself thrilled to know that VP Harris’ favorite cuss word is motherfucker. It is, after all, the queen of all cuss words. It’s the big one. It’s the nuclear bomb of profanity. It’s powerful, it can level a person and not everyone can pull it off. But Samuel L. Jackson sure can. And we know Kamala Harris can too. 

Now try to imagine Trump saying it. He totally screws it up, right? You know why? Because he’s a dumb, uncool, shit-eating motherfucker. That’s why. Y’all have a blessed day. 

Note two: Just a reminder that action is the enemy of anxiety. We can’t remember who said that, but it’s good advice. So if you’ve got the butt sweats, go to go.kamalaharris.com and put your nervous energy to work. Let’s do this!

Note three: Also, it wasn’t just Samuel L. at that rally. Springsteen, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee and President Obama were there too. We sure did miss Kevin Sorbon though. Or whatever his name is. We felt like y’all should see this clip from Perry…

Note four: About 20 ballots were damaged when some asshole set a mailbox on fire. We don’t know if it’s election related, but the suspect is orange. More: Huff Post

Note five: Yesterday Trump said the U.S. is “like a garbage can for the world.” Seriously how the fuck is this close? More: NBC News

Note six: The Republican endorsements for Harris keep on coming. The longest serving member of the Wisconsin state Senate is a Republican named Robert Cowles. He’s supporting a Democrat for president for the first time ever. More: WBAY

Note seven: We love the camo hats. What a stroke of genius.

Note eighth: First the LA Times, and now the Washington freaking Post is thinking about not endorsing in the presidential race. So the newspapers have fallen. Goddamnit that just leaves us. More: NPR

Note nine: Mel Gibson is supporting Trump. So that’s two racist assholes who liked Hitler’s style. No thanks. More: TMZ

Note 10: Meet Rep. Dave Schweikert. Now get ready to hate Dave Schweikert. He’s got it coming. You’ll see when you click the link. More: Huff Post

Note 11: There is a goddess who walks amongst us mere mortals, and her name is Stevie Nicks. And holy crap you gotta see this quote she gave Rolling Stone… More: Twitter

Note 12: The Teamsters are out there working their asses off for the VP. We sure do appreciate it. More: NBC News

Note 13: HUGE news in Ohio where a judge said the state’s six-week abortion ban is unconstitutional because of the recently passed amendment restoring women’s rights. More: Associated Press

Note 14: Some Republican idiots targeted a bunch of nuns. We’re not making this up. The good news is it appears the nuns are fighting back. What the hell is happening in this country? More: Huff Post

Note 15: Doesn’t it feel good to be on the same side as this guy?

Note 16: Joe Biden is going to do something big today and apologize to Native Americans for the U.S. forcing their kids into boarding schools where they were often abused. It’s nice to have a president who is a good person. We should keep that going. More: Associated Press

Note 17: The LA Times had another member of its editorial board resign. This one was a Pulitzer winner. More: Hollywood Reporter

Note 18: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith went on Hannity last night and called bullshit. It’s the first time we’ve ever enjoyed watching Stephen A. on TV and now we’re re-evaluating how we feel about him. More: Huff Post

Note 19: For today’s Happy Ending, we give you Martin Sheen at an event for Sen. Sherrod Brown, leading a bunch of AFL-CIO volunteers in singing “America the Beautiful.” 

Note 20: And on that damn tearjerker of a note, let’s go do some news! We know y’all are out there kicking ass and we sure appreciate it. Let’s keep it going! 

Here we go
Trump made clear yesterday that he will end Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations and prosecutions will be coming to an end. In a kiss-ass session with Hugh Hewitt, Trump said he’d fire Smith in “two seconds” if he’s reelected. Apparently he said later in an interview with WABC radio that Smith “should be considered mentally deranged and he should be thrown out of the country.” So yeah, he’s definitely coming after some people if he wins. We should probably stop that. More: CNN

Freedom!!!
Today is the day, y’all! Beyonce is joining VP Harris at a rally in Houston. And if you can’t tell, we are super freaking excited. That’s a powerful combination. But we think Willie Nelson is gonna be there too and that might be our dream dinner guest list. Feel the joy. Feel the excitement. It’s ok to believe! More: Adam Parkhomenko/TheAltMedia

Treason troll
Elon Leon Musk is a goddamn traitor. The Wall Street Journal revealed last night that Musk has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin since 2022, and he even agreed not to let Starlink work for Taiwan as a favor to Xi. So yeah, if they get Trump where they want him, then that should just be about the end of the free world. It’s really unfair what we’re putting on Kamala Harris’ shoulders. But we believe with all our hearts that she is a woman of destiny. And she might be all that is standing between us and the forces of darkness. So yeah, no pressure. More: Politico EU
