“Hope you stayed until the end for the Duke cameo and the debut of one of my planned occasional segments: “The Dear Leader Files” Which you can guess dealt with the Gulf of America. Thank you Charlie Sykes, Alexander Vindman, J Dziak, Jonathan Brownson, Teer Hardy, and many others for tuning into my live video with Charlie Sykes and Alexander Vindman! Join me for my next live video in the app.”

As my colleague Kire Schneider wrote about this today:

If you are Kamala Harris right now… I doubt she’s home right now with her husband Doug laughing their heads off (to keep this clean) at the American voters. At least, the American voters who were too dumb, too blind, too death, (perhaps they flipped a coin in the voting booth to decide who to vote for in 2024) or simply don’t give enough of a damn about the United States, to make an intelligent decision in who to vote for. But only because I believe she loves her country and is still willing to do everything that she can to make America as great as it can be.

But, for the people who did vote for Donald Trump because they think he’s a cool, wealthy, reality TV star, who hangs out with cool, wealthy, celebrities, who has a gorgeous wife and daughter, who was going to Washington “to shake things up” and “take on the establishment”, I have less than zero sympathy for you…

From The New Democrat 

guess have a few responses to this.

Charlie Sykes compared the so-called trade war between America and Canada (that our Dear Leader Donald Trump launched) a couple weeks ago a “South Park episode”. Obviously meaning it isn’t serious. I would’ve described it 2 weeks ago as a WWE pro wrestling match. Or a Whose Line is it Anyway skit. Meaning it’s not serious, it’s not real, etc. But it is now. Prices are up in America, the supply chain looks weaken and it’s not just about eggs, but if this “trade war” goes forward, it will affect a lot more groceries as well.

Jim Acosta who also has a very quick, dry, very good political wit, called President Trump’s Ova Office press conferences with his senior partner (and perhaps dear leader Elon Musk) “open mic night at The White House”. Meaning everyone has their say. There’s no preparation, no script. That it’s just basically an actually reality TV show. But the difference being that this is The White House. This is not supposed to be some messed up, reality TV show, that anyone with 1/2 of a brain (and no more than 1/2 of a brain) thinks is the coolest show in the history of the world. Until the next “reality TV show” comes along.

As Kire Schneider was getting too earlier and I’ll put it more simply: we get the politicians that we voted for. At least when we win. And Donald Trump simply had more voters than Kamala Harris in 2024. So his side won and these are just some of the consequences of a Donald Trump presidency. If you voted for Donald Trump in 2024, you have nobody to blame (assuming you don’t like the job that he’s doing) than the person that you see in the mirror.
