There are very few bright spots in our country today (no, the stupid-shit, feel-goody ABC News end pieces don't count; they are only the Febreze to the stench of the days Trump news). The Gavin Newsom tweets are it! Keep the fire going, Gavin, keep the fire going! Perhaps the REST of the Dems can take them as a Master Class in how to get under the skin of SCROTUS and his minons.

Ta, Evan. Elder Sister was noseblind to her husband, who never learned to wash his body and always had it wrapped in polyester. I'll say no more; he's dead these 20 years, and she two.

Maybe some of us don't give a shit who wins the twitter wars, Evan, and would rather have some Democrats figure out how to win the goddamned elections. Gavin Newsom is basically the Bill Clinton of social media: ape the GOP and hope it works. That worked for Clinton, but it fucked the Democratic Party for a generation. No thank you.

“You have to stop it with the Twitter thing,” a triggered Perino said. “I don’t know where his wife is? If I were his wife I would say, ‘You are making a fool of yourself, stop it!’

So is she saying she has fantasized about being his wife? You don't bring that "if I were his wife" line up unless you've thought about it.

I don't want Newsom to be president of the U. S. but I do want him to be president of a news network.

My absolute favorite comment on the IG video: "Working out in denim - like a 6th grader that forgot his gym clothes".

this works because deep down, the people who are yelling the loudest about this, know that their king is mad stupid and embarrassing but they don't have the balls to admit they were wrong

Too bad they didn’t include video of Hegseth fighting for his life while trying to do pull-ups in that last IG post.

These people are so ridiculous as to be immune to satire. 😄 Hello and good afternoon to all of you wonderful wonks. Here is my latest essay. A health update after my hospitalization. https://open.substack.com/pub/bluepnwcats/p/bloated-but-alive?r=gc3ns&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

From the arrest of Perino's husband article mentioned above:

"The feds locked up Parino's man, British criminal Peter McMahon, after a federal warrant was issued for his arrest ... for not paying an unleashed-dog ticket in time."

How is this man allowed to stay in this nation under Donald Trump? He should have been shipped to El Salvador months ago!

British criminal Peter McMahon is, I assume, white.

Someday -- possibly quite soon -- there will occur a Vacuum, prompted by Sir and Sir's Stroke / Heart Attack / Diabetes / Syphilis / Alzheimer's.

And that's when the real trouble starts.

Never underestimate the ability of MAGA to rationalize anything. Sure, the proven rapist Trump is clearly sinking deeper and deeper into dementia. Heck, he thinks he has already given Alaska to the Russians. And clearly he is just a puppet head for the fascist from Heritage that are running anything ("Be a good boy Donnie and go play golf, the adults are busy destroying the nation"). And, sure, he is covering up the Epstein files and is making it clear the reason why is that his name is so intertwined with Epstein's that there is no way to release them without making it clear just how much he and the Gathering Of Pedophiles knew and didn't care about Epstein. But in the end, his supporters will think everything but the good economy of the last two years were Joe Biden's fault (but clearly the stagflation we are heading for is Uncle Joe's fault, he's still in charge, right?).

I'm just saying as brilliant as this is, the Dana Perinos would watch the proven rapist Trump kill a baby and drink his blood saying "It came up to me and said, with tears streaming down its face 'Sir!, Mr. President Sir! Only by drinking my blood will you be able to heal your cankles!' So I had to do it. It's in Article II!" and she would just nod her head and declare how wonderful he is and why didn't all previous presidents drink, the blood of the innocent?

Some of these choads actually believe the Gov. in charge of the 4th largest economy in the world actually writes this stuff himself sitting on the commode at 3AM like Krasnov.

I'm jealous of the people doing this because it's my dream job. Fuck! I'd do it for free.

Gavin's wit and throwing shade on Dumb Donald should be a welcome distraction to MAGATs and Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, Donald J. Trump.

And yet, the President of the United States is utterly silent on this issue.

The first time in his life he's been utterly silent.
