‘The president’s main priority’ Happy Friday. There are 375 days until the midterm elections and 11 DAYS UNTIL THIS YEAR’S ELECTIONS! Standing with Letitia, Jack Smith wants to talk and Trumpflation!

Note: Well, Sexy Patriots, we regret to inform you that the president of the United States is still a fucking moron. So get ready for war with Canada. Yeah, shit is somehow getting dumber, so we woke up today to the asshead-in-chief announcing in all caps that trade negotiations with our neighbors to the North are over because the couch potato (not the couch fucker) saw that ad from Ontario and lost his shit. Thanks to our friends at Meidas Touch, you can watch the original thing Reagan said about tariffs here… MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 03:51:21 GMT View on Bluesky LOLOL. No wonder dipshit is so mad. He’s getting owned by a ghost. The Reagan Foundation tried to lie to help Trump, but we aren’t buying it. So here’s an interview with Ronald Reagan… Us: What’s up, asshole? How’s hell? RR: Hey guys! Love the newsletter! And hell is hot! Us: Yeah, we figured. So are you for tariffs? RR: No, that would be stupid economics. And I’m the scumbag who pushed that dumb trickle-down shit. Us: You see the new guy tear down part of the White House? RR: Yeah, it’s appalling. And I let millions die from AIDS. Us: Yeah, we figured that’s one of many reasons why you’re in hell. How’s Nancy? RR: She left me for Elvis. I’ve been sleeping with one of Satan’s demon goats. Us: Weird. We figured Elvis could do better. Well there you have it. A burning-in-hell Ronald Reagan said that tariffs are stupid. So now Trump can stop being a fucking idiot and stop starting fights with our friends and allies. Or he can keep being a fucking idiot. We think we know which way this is gonna go. Y’all have a blessed day. More: CNBC Note two: It looks like Trump’s revenge efforts against Adam Schiff aren’t going so great. He’s been reduced to calling Schiff “scum.” If only Schiff got the same love from Trump that Ghislaine Maxwell did. More: CNN Note three: The World Series starts tonight. We’re excited because no matter who wins, MAGA will be furious. LOL. More: Associated Press Note four: The East Wing of the White House is no more. Motherfucker. More: CNN Note five: Steve Bannon is declaring that Trump will be president again in 2028. Bannon is jailhouse trash who’s probably drunk on toilet wine. Don’t let him get to you. We fight one battle at a time. More: HuffPost Note six: The scummy deputy AG who made a sweetheart deal with Maxwell is now threatening elected California officials with arrest. We fucking dare him. More: Yahoo Note seven: Target is cutting 1,800 corporate jobs. We don’t usually cheer when Americans get canned, but we sure hope they fired the dumbshit who thought a war on DEI was a good idea. More: NBC News Note eight: It’s about that time! Have y’all voted? Do you have a plan to vote? Let’s do this, y’all! Adam Parkhomenko @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social GET OUT AND VOTE, VIRGINIA!!!! Thu, 23 Oct 2025 21:17:23 GMT View on Bluesky Note nine: Yesterday Trump pardoned a guy who helped him and his sleazy sons make millions off of crypto. We just don’t even have a joke for this level of blatant corruption. More: CNBC Note 10: We’re not the biggest Hunter Biden fans, but we love the way he hates Jake Tapper. More: Mediaite Note 11: If Sam seems less horrified today, it’s only because Kentucky Wildcat basketball is back. Find shit that brings you joy. It’s a great defense against the crazy assholes. Note 12: Here’s a handy list of companies that helped Trump wreck the White House. If you can make them feel some financial pain, then please do. More: NBC News Note 13: Yesterday, Lyin’ Leavitt said that the ballroom is Trump’s “main priority.” Fortunately, we found a Democrat who doesn’t think politics is beneath him and is willing to call this shit out. Democrats @democrats.org Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care. Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown. Fri, 24 Oct 2025 14:01:42 GMT View on Bluesky Note 14: Remember the American hero who was following troops around in D.C. playing the imperial march from Star Wars? Well they arrested him. And now he’s suing the shit out of them. More: NBC News Note 15: Bari Weiss wants Bret Baier to host the CBS news show. So yeah, CBS is just gonna be Fox now. More: Mediaite Note 16: We are so excited to see this thug motherfucker at the Hague. Heartland Signal @heartlandsignal.bsky.social BREAKING: Video shows Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally throwing two canisters of tear gas at protesters in Little Village in Chicago earlier this morning. Video via Yani Sotelo on Facebook. (Warning: Strong language) Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:42:27 GMT View on Bluesky Note 17: We have finally figured this out. It’s not that Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting smarter. It’s just that it seems that way because Trump is getting dumber. More: HuffPost Note 18: How much of a piece of shit is John Fetterman? Well he went on Hannity to attack Kamala Harris for calling Trump a fascist and insisted he would never do that. Except he has before. What an asshole. More: HuffPost Note 19: For today’s Happy Ending, we take you to San Francisco, where TACO Trump has backed off his plans to invade after some of his billionaire butthead buddies asked him to. It’s a good reminder that in addition to being an idiot and an asshole, Trump is also a total chickenshit. More: Mediaite Note 20: And on that cautiously optimistic note, let’s go do some news! We sure hope y’all are able to unplug and escape this madness this weekend. And if not, we hope you’ll use that time to help win some elections! Love y’all! Got her back New York AG Letitia James is being arraigned today on trumped up charges. See what we did there? Anyway, this whole thing is bullshit, and we hope she quickly gets this garbage thrown out of court. Regardless, we’ve got her back. And we’re damn glad to see other Democrats do too… Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight. Fri, 24 Oct 2025 03:35:53 GMT View on Bluesky Let Jack speak! Republican senators have been howling that former Special Counsel Jack Smith spied on them. Smith said he’s willing to testify to clear shit up, but he wants it public and he wants an assurance that DOJ won’t “punish” him for telling the truth. Sounds like a cool and normal country we’ve got here. The reality is that Smith was investigating a coup attempt against the United States and any senator bitching about being spied on is telling on themselves for being a part of that attempt. We hope Jack is allowed to speak to the public, but we just can’t imagine Gym Jordan would let that happen. More: HuffPost Trumpflation! It turns out that Donald Trump didn’t lower prices on Day One. It also turns out that late-night tweeting, wrecking the White House, seeking revenge on his enemies and sucking Putin’s ass haven’t done anything to tame inflation. But hey, it’s not like we just had a whole goddamn presidential election about this issue. According to the Consumer Price Index, inflation went up a bit in September, moving up 3 percent from a year ago. Somehow this is being hailed on Wall Street as good news since it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought it would be. But apparently it’s so embarrassing for what’s left of the White House that they also announced this morning that they won’t release the data next month. So that’s no CPI and no jobs report. Welcome to fucking Russia. More: Reuters, NY Times Today’s clips President Donald Trump went from balding and crepe-necked to stern and statesman-like on Time magazine’s new cover released this week. More: HuffPost Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the U.S. struck a boat allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, marking at least the third time this week that the U.S. has attacked a vessel it says was involved in drug trafficking. More: NBC News Vice President JD Vance stressed Wednesday that U.S. officials were not seeking to babysit the Gaza Strip ceasefire and that Israel was a partner, not a “vassal state,” as questions rose over the next steps in the Middle East. More: NBC News Law enforcement officers fired shots at a vehicle that backed into a U.S. Coast Guard base in the San Francisco Bay Area that had earlier been the site of protests against federal immigration agents, and hours after President Donald Trump called off a planned surge of federal agents into San Francisco to quell crime. More: Associated Press A New Yorker dubbed “polka dot dress woman” by the internet has gone viral after footage captured her flipping double birds at a law enforcement Humvee on and tussling with agents Tuesday when an ICE sweep triggered protests on Manhattan’s Canal Street.

Habeas who? It’s Thursday. There are 390 days until the midterm elections. Hoping a peace deal sticks, the president’s DMs and Trump is a sick f**k.

One of the weird things about Trumpland is all the stuff we used to like that we now hate. We call it the Kanye Effect. For example, for years we were big C-SPAN fans. Hell, Sam used to appear on there quite a bit. But then they started airing Trump’s hate rallies uninterrupted and without context and we started to see how the cable stalwart had been weaponized by fascists. So we figured fuck C-SPAN. Until this morning… Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show." Thu, 09 Oct 2025 12:51:53 GMT View on Bluesky Oh damn. Mike Little Johnson just got a swirlie on live television. Remember swirlies? They’re when you take some loser, hold him upside-down and dunk his head in the toilet while flushing it. And Little Johnson took several of them this morning. Because this is what happens when these asshole freaks leave their asshole freak bubble and encounter real Americans. This morning we heard Americans call Johnson a liar, ask him if he’s ever stood up to Trump on anything and straight up call him out for covering up for Epstein. He was fully exposed as the soulless little shit that he is. It was fucking beautiful. So thank you, C-SPAN, and thank you, America. We’ve been desperate to see some reality break through, and it looks like the Trump shutdown might actually do it. Keep calling, keep cussing and keep fighting. And fuck Little Johnson. Y’all have a blessed day. Note two: Need some therapy but missed us yesterday? Don’t worry. You can check out the recording here. We are REALLY excited about this John Candy doc that drops tomorrow. Cheering Hakeem, making fun of the GOP and ready for (John) Candy Adam Parkhomenko and Sam Youngman · 2:12 AM Thank you Ashley Renee, Richard Hogan, MD, PhD(2), DBA, Leah Anderson, Katie Steedly Curling, Jill B., and many others for tuning into our live video! Join me for my next live video in the app. Read full story Note three: John Fetterman went on Fox News this morning and said he will lead the effort to get Trump a Nobel Peace Prize if Trump really ends the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Someone should tell Uncle Fester that Trump is murdering fishermen and using the military against his own fucking people. More: AOL Note four: Here’s a tip for the White House press — instead of repeatedly asking Trump if he’ll invoke the Insurrection Act, how about ask him if he wants to start another Civil War. Or would that be too fucking honest? More: NBC News Note five: We seriously can’t get over how much we needed this. What a sociopathic little bitch-weasel. Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it." Thu, 09 Oct 2025 13:00:09 GMT View on Bluesky Note six: Trump met with a bunch of fake journalists yesterday to talk about Antifa. It was dumb and weird and, at one point, really fucking creepy. Viva Antifa! More: HuffPost Note seven: We don’t think we’ve ever talked this much about Mike Little Johnson. Hell, nobody has. But here he is breaking with Trump on pardoning child-rapist Ghislaine Maxwell. Of course Mike is also helping to cover up Maxwell’s crimes so fuck him. More: Mediaite Note eight: Trump told the New York Yankees they were going to win the World Series. They were eliminated last night. More: Mediaite Note nine: Senate Democrats tried to stop Trump from murdering Venezuelan fishermen yesterday. Senate Republicans got in the way. Psychos. More: Associated Press Note 10: The president thinking Habeas Corpus is a person would be really funny if it wasn’t fucking horrifying. It’s like in Step Brothers when Will Ferrell says he used to smoke pot with Johnny Hopkins. Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus? TRUMP: Suspending who? Q: Habeas corpus TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi. Wed, 08 Oct 2025 20:58:52 GMT View on Bluesky Note 11: We like Swalwell, and we’re grateful for the way he fights. But man, unless something is really about to happen, then it is not cool to get the resistance’s hopes up like this. As we learned from Mueller, ain’t nobody coming to save us except us. More: The Hill Note 12: There was a big debate in New Jersey last night and Democrat Mikie Sherrill wiped the floor with the Trump scum she’s up against. Let’s do this, Garden State! More: NBC News Note 13: State Rep. Justin Pearson is getting in the primary against U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen. This is why we stay out of primaries. Because we really like both dudes. More: NBC News Note 14: Paul Finebaum and Laura Loomer are fighting. If you don’t know who either of them is, then we are super jealous. More: Mediaite Note 15: Yessssss, Hakeem. This is the way!!! Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com Jeffries: "Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That's crazy." Thu, 09 Oct 2025 01:47:43 GMT View on Bluesky Note 16: We’ve talked a lot today about people dunking on Little Johnson, and we’d like to thank Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego for getting in on the action. More: NBC News Note 17: We just saw Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN talking about the importance of covering the Obamacare subsidies. Man, we are sooooo fucking confused. How stupid is the Republican shutdown if even this dumbass gets it?! More: The Independent Note 18: We want to encourage you to not click on this link. It’s a story about Trump supporters Candace Owens and Dinesh D’Souza fighting until the point that we learn that Dinesh is into watching animals fuck. Seriously. Don’t click on it. More: HuffPost Note 19: For today’s Happy Ending, we take you to Chicago. With the news media focused on D.C. and Trump, it can be easy to wonder if real Americans are doing anything about the explosion of fascism in their country. The answer is FUCK YES THEY ARE!!! Thank you to everyone in Chicago who has been out in the streets making their voices heard!!! Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social Michigan Avenue right now. Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:23:37 GMT View on Bluesky Note 20: And on that inspirational note, let’s go do some news! We sure hope y’all are having a great week, especially considering how much everything sucks. Love y’all! Fingers crossed Let’s start with the obvious — we’re not giving Trump credit for shit. That said, we are hoping like hell this deal between Israel and Hamas holds. We want the hostages released, and we want this fucking war to end. But we’re also cautious in our optimism. Why? Because we’re talking about Bibi, Hamas and Trump, and we don’t trust a fucking word from any of them. Still, fingers crossed. No more starving babies bombed! More: NBC News DMs (Dumb Motherfuckers) So remember when Trump posted on Truth Social a command to Pam Bondi to start going after his political enemies and it looked like a DM but then the White House said he meant to do it? Well it was a DM. And Trump was surprised to learn that it went public. This is good news for Jim Comey and the other targets because it’s really fucking obvious that Trump is going after them for vindictive reasons that have nothing to do with the law. Remember when email security was a huge fucking issue in this country? More: HuffPost Sick fuck Trump is going to Walter Reed for his annual check-up tomorrow. If you’re remembering that he already had his annual check-up six months ago, then you’re not alone. There is something clearly wrong with this asshole. Between The Bruise and the cankles and the rancid shit that comes out of his gross mouth, it has been obvious for a long time that Trump is a sick fuck. We would wish him well, but you know, he’s the goddamn devil. So instead we’re sending our well wishes to the poor staff at Walter Reed who have to touch this icky asshole.
