Itâs Friday, January 31, 2025.
Democrats have never been more âaroused,â according to Chuck Schumer. Weâve certainly noticed a difference. At the moment, Democrats are passionately trying to figure out how Donald Trump used creeping fascism to crash a plane into the Potomac and whining theatrically about his failure to restore food prices to their pre-Biden levels since his swearing-in last week. Theyâre still upset about Trumpâs popular plan to deport foreign criminals and other illegal immigrants. âI canât wait until American women canât get blueberries for their smoothies,â Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold actually said on CNN. In case you were wondering, yes, her voice sounds like an extreme parody of a liberal white Instagram mom letting loose after splitting a bottle of rosĂ© with her bestie.
Arnold is also the author of the book Raising Our Hands: How White Women Can Stop Avoiding Hard Conversations, Start Accepting Responsibility, and Find Our Place on the New Frontlines (2020), which was courageous enough to land a spot on the Forbes list of âAnti-Racism Resources for White People.â She helped organize the pussy-hatted Womenâs March in 2017 and was part of the successful campaign to persuade Joe Biden to declare the unratified Equal Rights Amendment to be part of the Constitution, which was both pointless and illegal. Arnold has two kids named Ever Alula and Atlas Oz. (We promise weâre not making this up.) She is active on Instagram, obviously, and posts content that is cringingly stereotypical of her race, gender, and ideology.
Crucial context: âWhite Womanâs Instagramâ by Bo Burnham
âAre you supportive of these onesies?â is a question that was actually asked (more like shouted) during RFK Jr.âs confirmation hearing when Democrats were pretending to be appalled by a Kennedy. Meanwhile, their former colleague, âBullion Bobâ Menendez, was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for cartoonish corruption involving Egyptian meat tycoons and a secret stash of gold bars. Bakari Sellers, another Democratic strategist on CNN, was forced to apologize after he rushed to blame Trump for the deadly midair collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter near Reagan National Airport. Sellers is the author of the courageous book The Moment: Thoughts on the Race Reckoning That Wasnât and How We All Can Move Forward Now (2024) and is best known for being cited in the lawsuit CNN settled for millions of dollars after defaming a teenaged Trump supporter.
TREND ALERT: Democratic Donors Spending the Rest of Their Lives in Prison for Unspeakable Crimes
In what might be described as a related development, a recently published Quinnipiac survey found that Democrats are horrendously unpopular. Just 31 percent of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, while a whopping 57 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion. Republicans fared much better, at 43 percent favorable and 45 percent unfavorable. Thatâs the largest GOP favorability advantage over Democrats since Quinnipiac started measuring in 2008. Among male voters as well as independent voters, just 22 percent had a favorable opinion of the party that insisted Joe Biden was fit to serve another four years as president. That might sound bad for Democrats, but itâs nothing that canât be solved by unleashing their battalions of hysterical white women to complain about smoothies. Meanwhile, on the Democratic Partyâs favorite network, MSNBC, Joy Reid is still ranting about the âundeniableâ similarities between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.
Job opening of the week: Doug Emhoff returned to corporate law this week as a partner of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, the white-shoe firm best known for its former chairmanâs involvement in the âVarsity Bluesâ college admissions scandal. The disgraced attorney, Gordon Caplan, pleaded guilty in 2019 to paying $75,000 to fraudulently boost his daughterâs ACT score.
Emhoff destroyed his first marriage by getting the nanny pregnant and was accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend. Nevertheless, because he was married to Kamala Harris, the media revered Emhoff as a modern âsex symbolâ who âredefine[d] masculinityâ by not beating or cheating on his second wife. During a previous stint at a corporate law firm, Emhoff was accused of hiring a âtrophy secretaryâ named Katya who was âwidely considered unqualifiedâ apart from her physical beauty and willingness to flirt with horny older men. Heâs already on the hunt for another secretary. Apply now!
Oblivious liberal journalist of the week: Susan Glasser, staff writer at the New Yorker and wife of New York Times correspondent Peter Baker, was outraged that the Trump administration was taking down portraits of former officials the president doesnât like. âThe pulling down of portraits and forced erasing the past is a reminderâcheck your 20th century history about what kind of regimes do this stuffâŠâ wrote Glasser, who might want to check out the history of liberal activism in the 21st century. Maybe she was being ironic?
Talented conservative journalist of the week: Natalie Winters, White House correspondent for Steve Bannonâs War Room.
God bless the New York Post: While most people were getting riled up about a New York magazine cover photo of Trump supporters partying in D.C. during the inauguration last week that deliberately cropped out all the black people to make a point about white supremacy, the intrepid journalists at the Post were busy answering the question on everyoneâs mind: âWhoâs that hot girl?â (A sorority babe from SMU.)
Rest in peace: Jim Acostaâs career is dead. The notoriously obnoxious journalist resigned from CNN this week after refusing to accept a demotion to the graveyard shift from midnight to 2 a.m. Following in the footsteps of another obnoxious journalist, former Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, he launched a new website on Substack.
EXCLUSIVE: Read Jim Acostaâs Resignation Letter to CNN
We suffered through the first installment of the Jim Acosta Show and were shocked by how terrible it was. Plagued by charmless banter and technical difficulties, the episode featured a discussion with Norm Eisen, the #Resistance warrior who cofounded the Contrarian with Rubin. Acosta insisted, rather unconvincingly, that he was thrilled to be done with the âperfectly lighted studiosâ at CNN. âWe can bro out, I guess, or something like that,â he said with characteristic magnetism. Itâs amazing he was ever allowed on television. Acosta sounds like, in the words of a former Pete Buttigieg adviser critiquing her candidateâs speaking style, âthe fucking Tin Man ⊠reading a fucking shopping list.â
