83. Why not? Gives a couple staffers a chance to have some fun
Sun Aug 17, 2025, 04:49 PM

And trolls both MAGA and the complacent Media.
It also puts the already targeted California in the spotlight.
We've taken a stance, and we aren't bootlickers putting up with backwards shit from the toddler in chief.
Which in terms of International Marketing where it counts is a pretty decent strategy.

And it's not like he's doing it himself, he's allowing his PR staff to do what they need to do to expose fascist idiots for what they are. Hold up the mirror, make them actually pay attention to the BS they're being fed by infantilizing grifters and con men who are taking advantage of them.
