Stop! Thief!
Happy Friday. There are 172 days until the midterm elections. Trump is going to put your money in terrorists’ pockets, LA needs to say no to becoming a TV show and America sundowns in China.
Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. But it never went to China and shit all over American presidents.
Note: Sexy Patriots! Before we all take some time to enjoy this weekend and the remaining hours that President Dumbshit is out of the country, we wanted to break some news. As you know, the Washington Post is a sad, corrupt billionaire’s bitch taint of its former glory. And today we have learned that they have replaced the motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness” with “Fuck Them Poor Kids and Fuck Their Parents Too.” Yeah, it’s not that catchy, but they seem committed to it…
Yiiiiiiikes. So has everyone always been a hateful asshole or is this new because of Trump? Because holy fucking shit some of these freaks are just pure evil. There are reasons to not like Gavin Newsom.This ain’t one of them. In fact, you’d have to be a real heartless piece of shit to be opposed to this. The paper that exposed Watergate and brought down Nixon is now trying to bring down clothing poor kids. That’s not a fall from grace. That’s a psychotic break from humanity. How long until they’re running recipes for cooking and eating the homeless? When do we get a first-person travel piece from Bezos about hunting orphans for sport?
So our plea to you is please keep being your wonderful, awesome, compassionate, caring, loving, accepting and sexy selves. Because we desperately need you to balance out the American Psychos who are running amok at the Washington Post. Those sonsofbitches are fucking terrifying. Y’all have a blessed day.

A Heist
You know how Trump is suing the IRS and that’s a totally normal thing for a sitting president to do? Well apparently, he’s decided he will drop the suit in exchange for $1.7 billion in taxpayer dollars that would go to a slush fund that Trump can give to Jan. 6 scum or whomever he wants. He wouldn’t even have to tell us where the money is going. Even for this piece of shit, this is pretty goddamn corrupt. We dare him to do it. More: Associated Press
Turn Off the TV
So y’all know we’ve been screaming that Los Angeles cannot and should not elect Spencer Pratt as mayor. He’s a spoiled rotten scumbag reality show guy who has spent most of his adult life selling crystals when he wasn’t selling underage photos of Mary-Kate Olson to TMZ. Well, TMZ has become Spencer’s worst nightmare, reporting yesterday that Pratt already has a deal to film a reality show as mayor of L.A. if he wins. We don’t think this guy has a snowball’s chance in hell, but this should finish him off. More: TMZ, More: Variety
The End
Trump is on his way back from China and holy fucking shit was it ever a disaster. He spent so much time groveling and going out of his way to trash America and Biden. He refused to say if the U.S. stands with Taiwan. He fawned over Xi’s fucking ballroom. And he mostly kissed Xi’s ass, repeatedly talking about what a great world leader and friend he is. Xi did not say the same about Trump. Trump spent the whole trip being thirsty, as the kids say, and we are deeply embarrassed. More: NBC News
