THE MORONS ARE COMING!
It’s Monday. There are 22 days until Election Day. VP Harris calls out an orange chicken, Trump wants to use the military on Americans and we can still hold the Senate, y’all.
Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. The other newsletters wish they could too.
Note: Hey there, Sexy Patriots. Y’all are looking extra Sexy and Patriotic today so we don’t wanna freak you out or nuthin’ but there’s something we think you should know. AMERICA’S HITLER IS LIKE THREE FUCKING WEEKS AWAY FROM POSSIBLY ENDING OUR COUNTRY AS WE KNOW IT!!! Yeah, that dumb orange sonofabitch has lost what’s left of his mind, he’s planning to take a wrecking ball to the decent parts of this country, polls are all over the dang place and so this feels like a good time for a pep talk.
We were hoping the reputable news media would sound this alarm, but they’ve totally blown it so that just leaves us. Fuck. Oh well, let’s Paul Revere this shit. THE MORONS ARE COMING! THE MORONS ARE COMING! THE MORONS ARE COMING! Spread the word far and wide. Let them know there’s a giant cloud of shit coming to America if we don’t take a stand right here and now. We’re basically like the Goonies of Democracy. And this is our time. For the next three weeks, we have to give this everything we’ve got. This is our chance to stop fascism. This is the fight for freedom of our era. This is our chance to help good beat evil’s fucking ass.
So damn the polls! Fuck the pundits! And motherfuck the morons! Let’s win this election! Let’s make history! Let’s save this country’s hot ass again! Hell yeah! Fuck Trump! Let’s go!!! Y’all have a blessed day!
Note two: You know how Trump and Vance and their dirtbag allies have been lying about the FEMA response to Helene? Well FEMA had to move some of their personnel in North Carolina because of concerns about armed militias in the area “out hunting FEMA.” This is what we have to beat. And it starts by beating Trump.

Note four: If you ever have a bad day, just remember it could be worse and you could have to remember the time you went out to the desert for a Trump rally and he left your dumb ass there. LOL!!! More: The Wrap
Note five: Holy shitballs! Even Politico is calling Trump “racist.” And they freaking work for him!
Note six: So yesterday everyone freaked out a tied NBC poll, but she’s winning in both the ABC and CBS polls. Everything is stupid right now. Including us. Why do we keep losing our minds over this shit when we know better? NO LINK — IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
Note seven: Trump openly threatened the people of California this weekend. While he was in California. He said he will force his policies “down” Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “throat” or the state won’t get any federal money to fight wildfires. So yeah, he’s doing the exact shit he’s been accusing Democrats of doing. We just can’t with this fucker anymore.

Git him
VP Harris spent part of the weekend asking an important question: What is Donald Trump’s staff hiding? He won’t do interviews with non-friendly audiences, he won’t do a second debate and he won’t release his medical records. Oh and he sounds like a cracked out fucking lunatic every time he opens his gross goddamn mouth. This weekend, the VP asked: “Are they afraid that people will see he is too weak and unstable to lead America?” Sure seems to us that America deserves some answers.

Um…
So one of Trump’s most consistent talking points these days is that the threat within is more dangerous to the nation than Russia or China. Yes, he’s talking about us all and the people we vote for. On Fox News, he said there are “enemies from within” and they might need to be dealt with by the military. We know y’all know this but this dictator shit is real, and we wish everyone else would hear it too.

We ain’t done yet
So we can’t believe we’re quoting Politico twice in the same day and we’re not proud of it, but we thought y’all should see this. According to polling from Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund, Democrats still have a damn good chance to keep the Senate. Mitch’s polling has found Republicans ahead in Montana and West Virginia but struggling in Michigan, Maryland and Ohio, where Sherrod Brown is still standing strong. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have gotten too damn close for comfort. Texas and Nebraska are unexpected wildcards. We need to elect VP Harris. And if we want to do anything about our broken SCOTUS, then we need to give her a Democratic Senate. Let’s fucking go!!!

Having worked with Dennis Quaid on The Right Stuff and dealt with him a few other times since, I can assure everyone that the reason he plays Assholes so well is he was born one.
DeSantis not showing up for Biden's visit shows what a coward he is - afraid he'll be seen as the new Governor Christie. Since Christie, whatever else you want to say about him, was born with a brain, DeSantis has nothing to worry about ever being compared to him.
Thank you for this newsletter. I read it and Hopium chronicles every morning before I face the onslaught of the days scary “media coverage”. Also. Love the President Clinton video!
