What the fuck are all the non-cussing newsletters doing these days?</i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note: </b>Sexy Patriots! How the heck are ya? Well you smell terrific, and we’re smitten. Why are we buttering you up? Because you’re hot as hell. Also because we’re gonna make this the last TBS of this week. Sorry. We need a break to catch our breath and get ready for what’s coming. One housekeeping item: We will officially be on Substack next week! You will receive this newsletter the way we normally send it but with a link to the Substack post so that you can get a feel for the platform if you are not already on it. Then starting Tuesday, you will receive emails directly from Substack with the newsletter! Thank you all for your patience with the transition.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">We weren’t sure what to make for the last intro and we gave some serious thought to an overwrought and depressing note about how this is the last Fourth of July so party like you mean it. And then we remembered that y’all don’t come here to feel like shit. You come here for cussing, news and MAKING FUN OF DOODIE MOTHERFUCKIN’ POOLIANI!!!</p><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://www.threads.net/@katiephang/post/C87N_PIRYrW/?xmt=AQGzwCzpDwwf3upjNtDxqBE5RXWN6hskIpOeoTmOIzlfDw&utm_source=tbs.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=7-3-24-what-do-we-think" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/162aef5f-698e-4809-bd10-003bcb1d81ca/image.png?t=1720018222"/></a></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Oh it feels so good.

What a fucking loser. Like, it sucks that Trump is flushing America down the shitter. But at least he flushed Rudy first. The humiliation is unending. It’s Rudy’s hell on earth. It’s real-time punishment. He’s Sisyphus pushing a giant goddamn turd up the hill. And it couldn’t happen to a worse person. So enjoy your hell, Doodie. We hope it really sucks. Y’all have a blessed day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note two:</b> Also, Steve Bannon is in prison. So that’s two things to laugh about.

Biden is doing an interview with George Stephanopolous this weekend, and he’s got quite a bit of travel planned. Polls since the debate don’t show a ton of change, but they do show momentum shifting back to Trump. It’s ok to be worried.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. It has really come in handy the last few days.</i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note: </b>Well hey there, Sexy Patriots! How was your weekend? Filled with arguments and freaking the fuck out? Yeah, we hear that. Shit is pretty fucked up. And if you’re turning to us for wisdom, well, you’re gonna be pretty disappointed. We’ve thought about it and we came up with this — we’re rockin’ with the Democratic nominee. If that’s Biden, then that’s how we’re ridin’. If it’s someone else, then we’ll back them too. Because we want to beat Trump, and that’s our focus. Plus, we like Joe. He’s been an awesome president. Like super duper awesome. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But we get that there are about a billion different opinions right now. And we’d like to humbly ask y’all to not turn on each other and to instead respect what each other are saying and then remember to turn on Trump voters. They’re the real scumbags here. Not us. And really, we’re all coming to this from a similar place. If people are freaked out because they don’t think Joe is up for this, then they’re freaked out because they love American democracy and they don’t want Trump trashing it. And if people are freaked out because people are criticizing Biden instead of backing him, then those people are freaked out because they love American democracy and they don’t want Trump trashing it. Our sexy hearts are all in the right place. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So take a deep breath, SPs. Be nice to each other. Remember that the person you’re arguing with is scared shitless, hates Trump and loves America. Our unity is our strength. That and not being total fuckheads. Y’all have a blessed day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note two: </b>This SCOTUS decision is bad, y’all. Real bad. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note three: </b>We’re so fucking excited to get to the part about Steve Bannon.

First, they make it illegal to be homeless. Then they gutted the federal executive branch to put themselves in charge of policy by overturning the landmark Chevron ruling. And then those dirty fuckers sided with a piece of shit Jan. 6 scumbag and said the DOJ went too far in charging him with obstructing an official proceeding. And yeah, Trump has been charged with that too. So our broken and corrupt and cruel and twisted fucking court is exactly who we thought they were.

Also, we probably smell better on average. But because we’re not in a cult, we tend to favor the truth over self-soothing bullshit. So here’s the truth — Donald Trump is a dirty fucking liar, and just about everything he said last night was bullshit. Also, it was not a good night for Joe Biden, Democrats or democracy. We needed Dark Brandon’s fast ball and we didn’t get it. Trump lied all goddamn night long but he was on the attack while he did. We’re not panicking. We’re not losing our shit. We’re not suggesting anything. We’re just saying it was not a great night. We don’t know what happens next, but we do know as long as Biden is our nominee, then that’s who we’re supporting.

Oh right. We should probably be more specific. No, we don’t mean the news about him handing out pills while he was the White House physician. No, we don’t mean the news about him being demoted from admiral to captain after the Navy found that he drank on the job, screamed at people who worked for him and “acted inappropriately.” No, we don’t mean the ethics investigation into Jackson we learned about yesterday.

Shit is about to get crazy, so buckle up. But before we get into the crazy, we wanted to take a second to note the fall of Roe, which happened today two years ago. Well actually, it didn’t just happen. Some corrupt fuckhead religious nuts are responsible for stripping basic human rights away from millions of women, and Donald Trump is the sick twisted piece of shit motherfucker who put them in a position to do it. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Since then, we have heard countless horror stories about American women and girls having to flee their states to get healthcare or be left to die. And those are just the stories we hear about. It breaks your heart and boils your blood to think of all the women and girls out there who have been forced to give birth by the Republican Party. It’s sick, it’s not the kind of country we live in and it’s just the beginning if those limp-dick fuckers get their way. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So today, let us remember what they have taken from us, who they are and that they won’t stop unless we stop them. Two years ago we got a painful lesson in what happens when we lose an election to Trump. Let’s not make that mistake again. Y’all have a blessed and angry day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note two:</b> While we’re on the topic — fuck Neil Gorsuch, fuck John Roberts, fuck Amy Coney Barrett, fuck Brett Kavanaugh, fuck Clarence Thomas and fuck Sam Alito.

We hope y’all had a lovely weekend. We sure did. But now it’s back to the grind. Fortunately for us, we love grinding with you. Uh, you know what we mean. We absolutely love doing this newsletter for you almost as much as we would love to not have to do it because the world isn’t being overrun by malicious dumbshits. Oh well. We think it’s a good if foul-mouthed and odd-minded newsletter. It sure tries hard. And we try to be consistent except for the occasional day/week off to not lose our minds. And part of that consistency is making sure we count down the days to the election semi-accurately every day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And since we do it every day, it tends to become routine. But every once in a while, we spit out coffee, let out a little pee and have our eyes bug out cartoon style and say WHAT THE FUCK?! 141 FUCKING DAYS?!!! ARE YOU FUCKIING SERIOUS?!!! OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT! And today happened to be one of those days for us. Don’t worry. We breathed into a paper bag and now we’re good. But yeah, 141 days. Yikes. Hell, the first debate is next week. Hard to fucking believe. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So what are we gonna do for the next 141 days to save this country’s hot ass? Are we focused? Are we motivated? Are we a wee bit scared shitless but still looking fine as hell? You betcha. So let’s do this, SPs. Let’s give it everything we’ve got. Because the end is getting close. The end of what is up to us.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. It’s how we cuss out assholes who shit-talk Milwaukee. </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note: </b>Sexy Patriots! One reason we’re happy to put out a cussing newsletter is we can say thank fucking god it’s Friday. This week being over is certainly something to celebrate. You know what’s not? Donald Trump’s birthday. Yeah, fuck that asshole. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But seriously, orange dingus turns 78 today (that’s 164 in dumbfuck demon years or Trump University math), and we sure hope all that shit on his face isn’t flammable when he goes to blow out all those candles. Now normally what we like to do in this situation is joke that we made a poop cake for whomever the asshead is we hate who is having a birthday. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">But we actually have very special recipe for this very special buttlick that we’ve been perfecting for years. So here’s what we put in Donald Trump’s birthday cake. </p><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 48.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Three tablespoons of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s toe jam</i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Two uncooked possum buttocks </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>A shark fin (just to scare the hell out of him) </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Three assloads of COVID </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Mitch McConnell’s shriveled little berries </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>All the poop</i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Two cups of that shit that was dripping down Rudy’s face</i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>And whatever you can find that’s rusty and tastes like a dead hog fart </i></p></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">And the thing is, he loved it. Ate every goddamn bite. That dude just ain’t all there. Anyway, fuck off, Donnie. Y’all have a blessed day. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note two: </b>We know what you’re gonna say — Possums don’t have butts. They have tails. And it’s opossums. Or is it? Anyway, this weekend is Father’s Day, and so for this week’s This Week’s Big Stuff we did an interview with the Ghost of Fred Trump. Is it in poor taste? Oh you bet your hot asses it is.

Of course not! You can’t picture anyone hugging Orange Dingus Junior except maybe a frightened therapist.

</style><div class='beehiiv__body'><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><i>Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. We’ll stop when shit stops being so fucked up. </i></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note:</b> Sexy Patriots! It’s a HUGE day here at TBS HQ. We didn’t huff any glue this morning and we’re getting out our fanciest cuss words. We even put formal wear on the dogs, lizards and monkeys who roam freely around our compound lest their constant nudity undermine the occasion. What could inspire all this grown up behavior? Well we’re making a move. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">As we mentioned last week, today is our first day at our new home with our dear friend Mary Trump. Mary has kindly offered TBS a home with her Substack, and we happily accepted. For you Sexy Patriots, it won’t mean anything except being exposed to more cool content. We’re still planning to keep TBS free and profane, and you won’t have to sign up for anything to keep getting an inbox full of f-bombs. For us, it means this labor of love is getting a home. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Y’all know the story by now. We started TBS more than five years ago for a few friends mostly to help them and us cope with the endlessly horrible and fucked up shit we were seeing during the Trump years. Since then, we have rallied together to win elections, cuss, vent, seethe, cry, cuss, celebrate, worry, cuss and lean on each other as we fight for the America we all know we can be. And now, with that beautiful idea in danger of being extinguished by a dumbfuck gameshow host, we are coming together with our friends and allies to save this country’s ass once again. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Thank you, Mary, for giving TBS a new home. Thank you, Sexy Patriots, for growing with us, having our backs and cussing for freedom. Let us go forth and do what we do best — cuss like some motherfuckers and save America from shitheads. You’ll continue to get this email during our transition this week and we’ll keep you updated! Y’all have a blessed day. </p><div class="image"><a class="image__link" href="https://marytrump.substack.com/?utm_source=tbs.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=6-10-24-thank-you-mr-president" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/6fe31ebd-dc61-4f0d-9fd5-6aae1f7a5158/image.png?t=1718033041"/></a></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><b>Note two: </b>Mick Jagger has been lowkey turning the Rolling Stones’ summer tour into a Fuck Trump’s GOP tour and we are loving every second of it.
