Ossoff is playing the MAGAs like a, uh, harp

Tuesday August 18, 2026

Quick one tonight:

It is kind of hilarious – but also totally predictable given their over-the-top paranoia, insecurity and brittleness – that the entire regime has taken to its collective fainting couch to bitch and moan that a Democratic elected official had the temerity to mention the “president’s” constant companion, human adhesive Natalie Harp, and that a reporter had the nerve to ask about it. Snowflakes.

A prime example of the performative overwrought outrage comes from the ridiculous professional liar Scott Jennings, who whined that "Jon Ossoff unleashed a comment so vile against a young Republican woman that every woman in America, no matter your ideology, ought to listen carefully and never forget it.” LOLOLOL They don’t even try to pretend they are remotely credible anymore. It is absolutely jaw-dropping that the same clowns who dismissed “grab them by the pussy” and “Piggy” and the incessant insults, put-downs, and innuendoes - not to mention the serial sexual harassment (!) and the never-ending skeevy behavior - are actually faking they give a shit about this and wanting us to buy it.

For the record, remember this was Ossoff’s quote: “Trump wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie.” He wasn’t saying Trump was schtupping her FFS, just pointing out what everyone with eyes can see: she’s on his fat ass like white on rice.

It was all so overwrought that it was too much for -- **checks notes** -- Jesse Watters!! Jesus, take the wheel, it’s a world gone mad!!! Today on “The Five” Watters shook his head and said “Am I fazed by this comment? No. Has Trump said so much worse, so much more sleazy things against other people? Yes. Have I defended those things? Absolutely. So, I'm not going to pretend I'm all hot and bothered about this.” Couple of things: (1) Damn, if anything proves that old maxim about even a broken clock being right twice a day, there it is. (2) Old Jesse is gonna get chewed.

It’s no wonder the MAGAs are apoplectic that the kind-of-fake-married-to-a-women-who-obviously-loathes-him 80-year-old Trump’s relationship with a crazy cultish 35-year-old is once again a topic of derision. Both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times had front page stories on Harp today. Then, tonight – for the best freaking one yet – CNN drops a description of an episode “which has not previously been reported” in which a couple of years ago in a New York, Harp got into a “screaming match” with some other Trump staffers when – with Gramp’s motorcade ready to pull away - it appeared she was being left behind. After they told her there was no room in the car, this crazy bitch jumped into the trunk of an SUV so she could be close to her hero. OMG, that is awesome, and get your popcorn ready because you know more and more loony stories like this are bound to come out.

Besides stewing over his little sidekick being in the spotlight, Trump, once again with a packed schedule of “attends policy meeting” (LOLOLOL) and zero public appearances - perhaps so he can take a day off of messing with the dead ferret on top of his head, who knows - announced he’s throwing in the towel on Iran. A day after his son-in-law announced that “positive and active conversations” were going on with Iran (HAHAHAHA as if we needed more evidence that that tool doesn’t know jack shit) Trump, on Lie Social, announced that “There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” It’s something that it’s barely worth pointing out that the entire statement is filled with verifiable lies, huh?

This bullshit came right after he posted a photo of his former mascot Lindsey Graham wearing a “Make Iran Great Again” hat along with the touching caption “Lindsey having fun just a few weeks ago! Check out the hat! President DJT.” That Lindsey, what a card.

Finally, some fun numbers from today. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump with a worst-ever 33% approval rating, meaning, as all the wise guys were pointing out today, that Trump’s number of felony convictions is higher than his approval number. Who says math isn’t fun?

And in Pennsylvania tonight, according to VoteHub, Democrat Bradon Dukes defeated Republican Scott Timko in the State House District 12 Special Election. As Jesse Lehrich points out, “this would be the Democrats 31st legislative seat FLIPPED in 2025-2026 special elections. (Rs have 0 flips.) Democrats are overperforming Kamala's margins by ~13 points across 110 races.” Not too shabby. No wonder the regime is so determined to cheat.

Extra Credit:

You have to think that, like the most sinister Bond villains, the ghouls in this regime must actually sit around and brainstorm about what is the most evil shit they can do is. Seriously, how else to consider how they came up with today’s plan to f*ck with animals in national forests??? You read that right.

Trashing protections that have been in place for more than a quarter of a century, the US Forest Service today proposed the repeal of the so-called “roadless rule,” which, as the New York Times reports, would open some 45 million acres of pristine wilderness to road construction and logging. (That sound you hear is Yogi and Boo-Boo – ask your parents kids – having a joint cardiac event.) Sane people, err, critics, quoted in the Times point out that mowing down America’s last wild areas and old growth forests would “endanger the drinking water supplies of tens of millions,” (that sounds bad) imperil wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, elk and salmon, and speed up climate change since the forest land currently absorbs millions of tons of carbon per year. Damn, there goes Jellystone Park.

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!
