Facebook Memories are hitting hard this week, because one year ago this second, I was in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention.
I’d gotten a literal last-minute guest pass from none other than the then-DNC Chair, Jaime Harrison (whom I never got to meet despite my best efforts that week) about an hour before leaving to see Foo Fighters in Portland. At the end of the week, I returned home exhausted yet elated and energized to elect Kamala Harris. I also returned home with my first case of COVID-19.
August 2024 was a MONTH, y’all.
Anyway, as we await Friday’s soft opening of the Epstein Files, it’s worth reminding everyone that we didn’t need to be here because Trump fucking cheated with Elon Musk to steal the 2024 election, and I’m fucking tired of Democrats not fighting harder to prove it.
Trump also stole the 2016 election, and would’ve probably been able to do it again in 2020 (and would have done all of the awful things he’s doing now that he couldn’t finish then), but too many of his voting base died from COVID-19 in Red States.
I knew something was wrongity-wrong on Election Night, because no presidential candidate has ever won all seven swing states, let alone the least popular felonious baboon ingrate rapist pedo guy ever to besmirch this planet’s surface.
More recently, I got Grok to confirm NosTARAdamus’s take when I asked about the odds of Trump actually sweeping all seven swing states for the first time in history.
Yeah, that last line is Musk-y. But the rest of it makes me want to eat my own fist and then regurgitate it so I can swallow it again.
Sheroes Stephanie Miller and Allison Gill (aka Mueller She Wrote) talked about this today on Stephanie’s show. Democrats need to DO SOMETHING.
Yes, he did, Dear Reader. He most certainly did.
Why didn’t Democrats push back in November? Because we’re “not election deniers”?
That’s right, we’re ELECTION TRUTHERS.
If Democrats had demanded an immediate forensic audit, they would’ve realized the statistical impossibility of Trump winning all seven swing states.
BECAUSE HE FUCKING DID NOT WIN. Maybe he won one or two. MAYBE.
Aside from wanting to steal the election, Trump and Musk altered data to make it seem like this country is more racist than we thought. But we aren’t. Although fewer Americans may have voted, the majority who did vote supported Kamala.
You saw the lines when Early Voting started. You saw that most of the people who lined up to vote early were Black and other POC. You saw the rallies and the energy from the crowds. You saw that debate where Kamala forced the PAB to shake her hand, and then he whined about people eating dogs and cats.
No, 77 million people did not vote for that.
The media fully failed the country all 107 days of Kamala’s campaign, but nevertheless, we persisted and had our Brat Summer.
And now, it’s Hot Epstein Summer as Trump tries everything to avoid the truths about Epstein and the 2024 election.
Here’s the real Woke Math: Kamala got more votes than Trump.
This Will Hold is what patriotism looks like. It’s cool to be right about stuff, but the question is, what can we do now?
I might try to squeeze in that question tomorrow when Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR, and one of my Senators) joins Devlin and me on THE TARA SHOW for a tight 15 to talk about his Epstein investigation. I’m most interested to hear what he thinks we’re going to see on “Epstein Files Friday,” obvs, but there are so many impeachable offenses to add to Trump’s ever-growing list that I’d love his take on the election fuckery. Only I’d ask it in a slightly more professional way. Set a reminder!
I also met Senator Wyden at the DNC! And then I also saw him the next morning at the airport. Thankfully, I didn’t give him COVID.
Meanwhile, Trump is doing an extra racism to distract from the Epstein Files by threatening the Smithsonian over telling the truth about America’s racist AF history. This guy is so fucking fragile that he’s taking slavery personally. White male fragility is a blight on humanity, and Trump is its ultimate Poster Child.
Now, I know you’re like, “He can get away with everything,” but not if people actually push back. Because we can! The truth is always helpful in situations where Trump lies, aka every situation. Thanks, Professor Google!
This is just a distraction from Epstein. This will not happen. He can’t go into every museum in America to rewrite our history to a “Good Parts Only” version that doesn’t hurt his thin-skinned snowflake fee-fee’s.
It’s an excellent look at the same time Texas Republicans held a Black woman hostage for two days because she wouldn’t sign a bullshit piece of paper.
Our newest Shero, Nicole Collier, is now suing over "illegal confinement,” and I hope she gets all she can from those fucking racist pieces of Trumpshit who want to gerrymander Texas into a MAGA hat.
Remember, the mediocre white MAGA men love to scapegoat Black women for anything they can, just so we’ll stop talking about the Epstein Files.
But Epstein Friday is coming. They can’t stop it; they can only hope to have caught all of the times Trump’s name is mentioned in them and are blacked out.
It’ll be fun to watch them further disintegrate over Epstein while they’re all still so triggered about Gavin “Studly” Newsom owning Trump like no one else ever has. I have no idea what our 2028 ticket will look like because we’re too busy making sure we can still vote in 2026, but the point is to keep triggering MAGA with constant doses of their own medicine (which won’t be covered by their health insurance thanks to Republicans).
I’ve seen my meme all over, uncredited, so I put my name on. When you’re an untapped writing goldmine as I am, you have to keep up the self-promotion on every possible front, don’t you know.
Which brings me to *drumroll* The Ask Part of the Substack, in which I make the case to upgrade to a paid subscription/buy a copy of my rock and roll love story, The Sound of Settling. If you’re not able to because your priority is feeding yourself and paying your bills—something you know I know about—then please share my links, which is totally free to do and is also good karma!
Thank you, I appreciate you, and I won’t stop talking about the Epstein Files!
Most mornings are "MillerTime" here. I did hear interaction between Steph and Allison that you posted......totally deserved being put out there.
