"There’s no way to sugarcoat or deep fry it. Donald Trump was a big orange drag on races around the nation. But of course, he’s neither ready to accept responsibility nor capable of doing so.

Trust me, Trump was on the ballot. If you don’t believe me, ask Fox."

~ Jay Kuo

What a Night!

I’m hopping on a plane to SoCal for the next few days to attend Human Rights Campaign events, but I wanted to share with you some of my joy, delight and thoughts on yesterday’s resounding election results.

In an editorial entitled "Trump Really Was on the Ballot," the right-leaning Republican Wall Street Journal says,

"President Trump on Wednesday blamed Tuesday’s Republican election defeats on the government shutdown and the fact that he wasn’t on the ballot. If he really believes this, the GOP is heading for bigger problems in 2026."

#WallStreetJournal
A goose chases a man labeled "The Wall Street Journal" asking, "what happened to the 'transgender and anti-fascist ideology' markings? c'mon, mf'er, what happened to the 'transgender and anti-fascist ideology' markings?"

Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the undisputed head of the family's sprawling enterprise, is 'a very different leader than his father.' https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/10/companies/lachlan-murdoch-empire-deals-profit/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #lachlanmurdoch #rupertmurdoch #newscorp #foxnews #wallstreetjournal

The family of media mogul Rupert Murdoch has reached a deal that will see his politically conservative eldest son, Lachlan, cement control of the family media empire that includes Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/09/companies/lachlan-murdoch-news-corp/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #foxnews #wallstreetjournal #newscorp #rupertmurdoch #lachlanmurdoch

So, I'm pretty sure that #JDVance is the one leaking stuff to the #WallStreetJournal (Vance's meeting with Lachlan Murdoch back in June). Expect #Trump to be pushed out of office soon (health reasons, dementia, etc)... But not too soon. If Vance becomes POTUS too soon, he won't be able to run for a second term -- but after a certain point (I think a year?), he could finish Trump's term, then run two more times. Before folks go cheering, just remember that Vance is the darling of the #Project2025 #ChristoFascists (more so than Trump, who is just a useful idiot -- with emphasis on the "idiot" part).
