2.16.24 When is the apology?

Be advised: This newsletter cusses the way Fani Willis wanted to yesterday.

Note: Sexy Patriots, we don’t know about y’all but are tired of the bullshit. Oh wait. We do know that about you. And really millions and millions of Americans. And we especially know it about Fani Willis, who opened up a costco size can of go fuck yourself to Trump’s goons in a courtroom yesterday…

Goddamn right! We have to admit that we haven’t been weighing in on what’s been happening in Georgia much because we just didn’t know what to make of it. We’re Democrats in the Trump era so it was easy to assume there would be some garbage legal maneuvering and orange dingus would get away with horrible crimes yet again. What we should have assumed is that Trump’s thugs were trying to sully a Black woman’s name and reputation because they usually get away with shit like that because America has a vicious sexist and racist streak.

Thank goodness that Fani Willis has no patience for that shit. When she took the stand yesterday we stood up and cheered. She’s fighting her ass off for Georgia and American democracy, and we all need to have her back. And to the Trump scum who thought they could come for her without a fight, well, LOL how did that work out for you, assholes? Go git ‘em, Fani. Y’all have a blessed day.

Note two: If people don’t see the disrespect Black women in this country face, then it’s because they either don’t want to or because they’re adding to it. Look at how an Oklahoma country music station refused to play Beyonce’s new country single. More: CBS

Note three: Look at how the Tennessee legislature refused to pass a resolution honoring Grammy winner Allison Russell. More: Billboard

Note four: Look at how little coverage Don Jr.’s racist Super Bowl attack on Michelle Obama got. More: Salon

Note five: We normally plug our podcast on Fridays in that second note, but we’ve been pretty pissed off about this shit and we wanted to lay it out. And y’all know those are just a few examples. Anyway, here’s the link to this week’s This Week’s Big Stuff. Adam and Sam mostly go in on Republicans for being incompetent assheads. But let’s not forget those fuckers are pretty damn racist too.

Note six: VP Harris is in Munich for the security conference, and she took the lead in responding to news of Putin murdering Navalny. We are lucky to have her there. More: CNN

Note seven: Why won’t this asshole just go the eff away? Who is asking for this?

Note eight: We’re eagerly awaiting Judge Engoron’s decision in Trump’s $370 million fraud trial. Everyone is expecting it today and frankly we could use some good news. More: AP

Note nine: Matt Rosendale got in the Senate race in Montana last week. This week he dropped out. Seems like a smart dude. Or a total asshead. More: Politico

Note 10: Don’t worry. We’re going to get the list of people we blame for Navalny’s death.

Note 11: Matt Gaetz’s situation keeps getting worse. And it started off pretty fucking bad. Lock him up!!! More: Daily Beast

Note 12: Is this good? It seems pretty good.

Note 13: HuffPo has the story on a disgusting Islamophobic smear campaign Republicans are running against one of President Biden’s judicial appointments. More: HuffPost

Note 14: Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the family of one of the women killed at the Kansas City Super Bowl parade this week. The people who hate her didn’t do shit. More: NBC

Note 15: Well this is pretty timely. The Biden campaign has dropped a new ad blasting Trump for encouraging Russia to attack our NATO allies.

Note 16: Matt Taibbi used to be such a fun journalist to watch. Now he’s an ass-kissing loser and it’s so fucking sad/hilarious to watch. Remember when Ted Cruz patted him on the head? More: Mediaite

Note 17: Kudos to the White House for getting under Ronny Jackson’s gross skin and for making us all laugh with the super sweet Simpsons reference. More: Yahoo

Note 18: Congratulations to Greece, which legalized same-sex marriage this week. Guess the Greeks just got a whole lot cooler. More: AP

Note 19: We like to end on a happy note and today we desperately need it. So here’s Caitlin Clark becoming the all-time scoring leader in women’s college basketball last night. We watched the game and she was scorching, putting up a career high 49 points even though she only needed eight for the record. If you’re not watching Caitlin play, you’re missing out.

Note 20: And on that incredible note, let’s go so some news. Monday is a holiday so we’ll see y’all back here on Tuesday. In the meantime, let your rage turn to resolve and let’s beat back the forces of evil and assholery. Keep your heads up, Sexy Patriots. Love y’all!

Destroy each other

Remember how Rep. Mike Turner scared the shit out of everybody this week by screaming about a dire foreign threat that needed to be addressed right away? Remember how everyone was talking about Russian space nukes? Well it turns out it’s an anti-satellite weapon that hasn’t been deployed yet, and it sure seems like Turner is either a hysterical jackass or he just wanted to change the subject from Republicans losing in NY-03. Well even other Republicans are pissed, and some of them are asking for an investigation into what Turner did. We say boot his ass off the committees and then he can go fuck himself.

Republicans did this

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is dead. Putin’s top critic reportedly died in the penal colony where he was being held on bullshit charges. We would like to issue a giant FUCK YOU to Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, MAGA Mike Johnson, Ron Johnson, JD Vance and every other treasonous piece of shit American who has lifted up Putin while making excuses for his evil murderous ways. We know there are criticisms about Navalny and we’re not ignoring that. But he was killed for opposing Putin and we are not fucking ok with that. Make no mistake — Putin, the GOP and their friends in the media did this. And they won’t stop unless we stand up and stop them. RIP.

When is the apology?

Yesterday Republican Special Counsel David Weiss charged Republicans’ star Hunter Biden witness with lying. Yeah, the centerpiece of the GOP efforts to impeach Joe Biden turned out to be a lying piece of shit who totally made up the whole Burisma thing. Who could’ve guessed except anyone who has seen the Republican Party operate for the last eight years? Maybe the press should’ve been more skeptical of the Jan. 6 people. Anyway, we’ll be waiting for James Comer and Gym Jordan to apologize to the Biden family. We’re sure it’s coming any minute now.

Today’s clips

For eight years, Maryland was one of the handful of blue states that loved its moderate Republican governor. Roughly a third of Maryland’s registered Democrats twice crossed party lines to elect Larry Hogan, to counter the Democrat-controlled legislature of a state that President Joe Biden won by 33 points. But Hogan won’t have an easy time convincing Democrats that he should succeed retiring Democrat Ben Cardin in a race where Republican chances went from literally nonexistent to a growing concern overnight.

Investigators are examining bullets and shell casings left behind at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration rally after a shooting that killed one person and wounded more than 20 others – at least half of them children – as the community grapples with the horror that abruptly ended the celebration.
