🌟That’s PRESIDENT Harris To You!🌟

While Democrats were holding their smoothest, most joyful convention in decades, the right was being even more dishonest and icky than usual. It’s like the brighter we burn, the darker the shadow. But we know where the shadows are that will ultimately be their downfall.

A lot happened this week so grab yourself a No. 5, pop back in time, and hope you don’t cause the apocalypse while you catch up!

Boy, that sure sounds expensive. Good thing Kamala Harris has literally hundreds of millions of dollars to throw at this. Trump doesn’t have that kind of money but he’s not the one funding the effort to steal the election in the first place. That money is coming from groups like the Heritage Foundation and other fascist organizations tapping into the bottomless pit of oligarch money from trash like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson, and others who think democracy is an impediment to their ambitions.

Aug 20

So you remember 10 seconds ago when the press and MAGAland were crying hot sobby tears of outrage that we kept calling Republicans “weird?” Remember how sad it made them that we were being so mean and hurtful? Why couldn’t we stop being jerks and act like grownups for once?! I mean, honestly! How could anyone ever think Republicans are weird?

Angry Tuesday Bonus Article: I can’t see the future. I just never pretended RFK Jr. wasn’t a piece of sh*t.

f*ck You, RFK Jr. I Knew You Were A Ratf*cker A Year Ago

Aug 20

This is how I knew last October, that RFK Jr.’s "campaign” was a ratf*cking operation. OK, to be fair, Republicans did absolutely nothing to hide this fact. They practically tattooed “GOP Operative” on Kennedy’s forehead.But I did know something else. I knew how this would end.

100 Geek Points if you know what this gif is from.

Friday: There seems to be some confusion about my stance on Israel and Hamas which I will clear up in an article next week (hint: There are no good guys here. Both Hamas and the IDF are monsters). But when it comes to the ceasefire protests, they have been tainted from the beginning and that’s just reality.

The Pro-Hamas Ratf*ckers Had ONE JOB At The DNC And They Failed Spectacularly

Justin Rosario

Aug 23

This was an absolute failure of a plan set in motion almost a year ago. It was critical to the right’s widespread ratf*cking operation that the DNC be seen as a chaotic mess and the left as fighting among itself. The press wanted it. Republicans wanted it. The alt-left wanted it. All of them got jacksh*t.
