Gop Prepares 1-week Extension As Shutdown Looms

Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, "based on her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen 'dozens' of other events in the same space."

President Biden spoke over the weekend at a NAACP dinner in Detroit and didn't sugarcoat it when he highlighted Trump's fascist racism. Biden highlighted the differences between his administration and one led by a fake evangelical, white supremacist, egomaniacal, make-up and dye-covered fat man. The threat that Trump poses is greater in his second term than the first.
