The right-wing atrocity insists that California be denied its hosting of the Olympics, because. . . MAGA is desperate to point the finger everywhere except where it belongs.

He and Trump talked by phone on Tuesday. . . nothing suspicious about that, right?

In their minds, our nation and society exist only to serve them.
