Trump tells Fox News: "Get rid of Karl Rove."

Former President Trump on Tuesday implored Fox News to stop putting Karl Rove, a former top aide to President George W. Bush and a longtime political commentator, on its air.

In a Truth Social post, Trump also blasted political commentator Marc Thiessen, who frequently appears on Fox, calling him a "RINO Bush apologist."

"He was wrong about me in 2016, and in 2020 I got more votes than any sitting President in history," the former president said, then turning his ire on Rove.

"My record on Endorsements is unmatched by anyone, EVER! Put on people who understand what is going on in politics...And while you're at it, GET RID OF KARL ROVE!!!" Trump wrote.

Trump's record on endorsements is not good. He pads the number by counting the times he endorsed the uncontested incumbent in a safe seat. Well, obviously all of those "bets" pay off. The endorsements we care about are those in which there were several major candidates vying for the nod. And there, Trump has a bad record. He doesn't seem to care at all about a candidate's positions, except their position on kissing Trump's ass.

Let me give you an example: Remember when McConnell's pick for Jeff Sessions' replacement, the Purdue Pharmaceuticals-connected corporate jackass Luther Strange went up against Freedom Caucus member Mo Brooks for Alabama Senate?

Do you remember wondering why Trump decided to endorse "Big Luthor" over a strong conservative?

Well, it's because Mitch McConnell went through Mo Brooks' old statements and found him knocking Trump before he won the nomination in 2015-2016. McConnell showed these to Trump, and then Trump endorsed "Big Luthor."

And then the grassroots rebelled and voted for Roy Moore, who then lost to a Democrat.

Instead of endorsing a 95% ally, he endorsed someone who almost certainly hated his guts and opposed the entire MAGA agenda, like all of the corporate class does.

And then we lost the seat on top of it.

Trump's weakness is his deep insecurity and constant need for validation, which is easily exploitable.

That said, yes, Karl Rove should go. Marc Thiessen is in fact a Bushie liberal Republican and can go as well.

Below, the appearance of actress Sydney Sweeney on SNL means it's officially okay for men to look at attractive women again and stop pretending that Lizzo is "hot" because of all of her "body diversity."

She's in a romcom called Anyone But You which I heard is pretty good.

I'm going to rent that. Right now I'm waiting for The Beekeeper to finally come down to the rental price of $6. (It's $20 to own it right now, and I don't know yet if I even want to own it.)
