I copied a piece of a recent newsletter and texted it to my daughter, who said she had never heard of The Fucking News and asked if I had written it.

I was flattered. I believe we are kindred spirits.

I nearly spewed my coffee when I read your headline today 😂. Contents were equally brilliant! Bravo! 👏

"Anyway, the important thing is that Arab-American voters sent Vice Pres. Kamala Harris a message."

Arab-Americans sat out the vote (or voted for Trump) in protest of Joe Biden’s funding the Israelis. Now we have Trump as POTUS, so they cut off their nose to spite their face.

They also voted for Stein. You seem to have cut off your ability to empathize with people who believe genocide is something you should NEVER vote for.

OH! I’m so slow! 🤦🏾‍♀️ You voted for Jill Stein! Well then I guess you are part responsible for “Genocide 2-Final Solution Palestine.” What I have no empathy for is stupidity and useless, dangerous gestures that achieve the exact opposite of your (purported) aims.

1st: I understood the paragraph perfectly, Alexandra. I was just questioning whether its author was serious.

2nd: We have ranked choice voting in my state.

3rd: Regardless how or why I voted- confused, arrogant, tone-deaf, and apparently morally obtuse individuals like yourself really shouldn't be lecturing others on the subject of character and intellect- especially against those who regard 12 months of genocide as a deal-breaker when it comes to voting for its unconditional-and-unlimited-weapons-funding soulless perpetrators- of whom I am not. (yes, you are slow)

4th: Anyway, it's always a thrill speaking with a real live victim-blaming whack job. I'm sure those pesky Arab Americans in Michigan would be delighted to hear your take on their feelings, you being such an expert and all. In closing, I thank you for your great insight and understanding on this matter. Would you like to speak to the manager now?

Dude, do not project on me. I’m just explaining the paragraph you didn’t understand. My bad if you did understand it and were expressing disbelief, or whatever. I’m not the enemy

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Murkowski and Collins left the party? (I can dream, can’t I?)

I hope there a quite a few more who change sides. Most of them left during his last term or soon afterward.

Am I missing something with Imane Khelif?

Since we got the worst guy imaginable to be president, the Cabinet picks do not surprise me at all.

This is insane, but funny in the way that everyone who has been appointed will be out of two jobs in six months. Fuck.
