Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. But it has never ignored a court order. Except that one time.
Note: Holy cow, Sexy Patriots! Things sure are fucked up here in ol’ America. How fucked up? Well we’re glad you asked. Things are so fucked up that the president who keeps calling us communists can’t stop blowing an actual communist dictator. It’s pathetic and embarrassing. It’s also not what we’re talking about in this here opening note. No, today we want to talk about what soft little bitch Trump really is. Just watch him crap himself when a plane flies over…
Uh-oh! Someone better call Natalie and tell her to bring the presidential diaper bag. That, folks, is 100 percent unrefined chickenshit. It’s also a good reminder that Donald Trump is nothing but a big mouth and a lot of make-up. We’re not usually conspiracy theory dudes, but are we seriously supposed to believe the super wuss who ruins his suit pants at the sound of a plane flying over was actually super tough when he got shot? Yeah, we aren’t buying it.
So while the next 40+ days will be fraught and scary, please remember that you are up against a total fucking wimp who destroys his depends at the sound of a jet. He wants us to be afraid of him, but we’re tougher than that. If only the same could be said for his pants. Y’all have a blessed day.
Note two: Late last night, a judge issued a restraining order that forced the Trump White House to end its ban on reporters. This morning, those reporters were denied access. So here comes the lamest most beltway bullshit constitutional scandal of all time. More: HuffPost
Note three: The New York Times dropped new Senate polling this morning. They’ve got us leading in New Hampshire and Michigan and losing in Maine. We’ve just gotta ask — WHAT THE EFFING FUCK IS GOING ON IN MAINE?! (Note within a note: As Mainer Joe Sudbay points out, this poll was mostly conducted before the scandal story broke.) More: New York Times
Note four: Susan Collins spent yet another day crying about how unfair it is that the media is reporting about her corruption. She finally has something to be concerned about. More: ProPublica
Note five: We’ve always known that Tommy Tuberville was stupid but this is something else. Bro, if you’re seeing furries everywhere then that might be a lifestyle choice. We’re not judging. If dude wants to fuck Chuck E. Cheese, then more power to him.
Note six: We really admire Tammy Duckworth. So it would be great if she could explain to us what the effing fuck she is talking about here. She wants to work with Trump, not impeach him and help him save face? Is she fucking high? Do better, Senator. Or go the fuck home. More: C-Span
Note seven: Netanyahu is going to attack Mamdani today. We’re old enough to remember when he did the same thing to Obama. Well fuck Bibi. He should be in cuffs. More: Reuters
Note eight: The New York Times is doing what it always does when it wants to take down a Democratic woman — running a story about how mean she is to staff. Weird how you never see these stories about men. We’re not linking to it because fuck them.
NO GODDAMN LINK
Note nine: You know how Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta sold us out and made a deal to allow Paramount and Warner Bros (and CNN) to go to a MAGA billionaire and some Saudis? Well now they’re trying to bring in Elon Musk. We sure hope Gavin and Rob are happy. We also hope they eat shit. More: Deadline
Note 10: Trump’s whole goddamn midterm message is that he’s gonna save America from communism. Well he’s doing a bang-up job so far…
Note 11: Trump’s good buddy Xi just recently stole some classified F-35 parts. Apparently we ship them by UPS, so this one is on us. More: AP
Note 12: Your tax dollars are being used to pay for ads that ask Americans to “love” Donald Trump. Can you imagine the scandal if Obama had… oh fuck it nevermind. More: HuffPost
Note 13: Why is Trump dressed like he’s in a blizzard? It was in the 60s yesterday.
Note 14: Trump’s lawsuit against pollster Ann Selzer was thrown out yesterday. We’re glad to see it. We’re not so glad to remember how wrong that poll was and how much false hope it gave us. More: The Hill
Note 15: ICE beat the fuck out of a U.S. citizen outside of Chicago. Could someone please show this to Sen. Duckworth? More: HuffPost
Note 16: If you’re like us, you forgot that Roseanne Barr existed. It was nice. But we were just reminded when she did more awful shit. More: HuffPost
Note 17: We haven’t been paying super close attention to the Minnesota U.S. Senate race because we figure they got this. But this sure is a huge ouch for the Republican candidate…
Note 18: Y’all already know it is best to ignore the polls, ignore the anecdotal evidence and just focus on the work. But you have got to see this freak out from an Iowa right-winger. More: HuffPost
Note 19: For today’s Happy Ending, dogs. We know everyone is stressed the fuck out right now, so please enjoy this adorableness…
Note 20: And on that super freaking cute note, let’s go do some news! We sure hope y’all are having an amazing week. We also hope you don’t piss yourself at the sound of a jet. Or go around kissing the asses of commie dictators. Love y’all!
Impeach
Of all the Trump targets that Democrats should go after if/when we win, Pete Hegsuck has to be at the top of the list. Not only is he an abusive idiot who killed a lot of little girls, he has also driven some of our active-duty sailors to attempt suicide. A new report says that eight sailors with the USS Lincoln carrier group attempted to take their own lives while Trump and Hegsuck left them at sea for a record-long deployment. This is what happens when you have a commander-in-chief who thinks our troops are “suckers” and “losers.”

Just Doomed (JD) Vance
This story is fucking hilarious. The White House claimed that they can ban media outlets because those outlets used anonymous sources to report on national security. It turns out the call was coming from inside the White House. Who were the anonymous sources? Well, one of them was well-known couch fucker JD Vance. The rest were senior administration officials who insisted on anonymity. We freaking love this for JD. If you see him covered in ketchup, you’ll know why.

The Red Carpet
So you’ve seen the videos of Trump creaming his shorts over a communist dictator. Remember a couple months ago when Trump held a primetime address to accuse this same guy of rigging the 2020 election? Guess he’s over it. Anyway, the suck-up continued as Trump went on social media to praise Xi as looking “strong, vibrant and fit.” Jeez, man. Get a room. We know we’re a broken record on this today, but how the fuck is this man accusing the rest of us of being communists? Seems like if that were true, he’d be kissing all our asses.

I love this for Susan Collins. She's such a 2-faced douche bag.
In re Trump’s wincing at the flyover - another writer checked and found that “sensitivity to loud noise can be a sign or symptom of dementia.” So let’s have more flyovers, the louder the better!
