And I had such high hopes when I read this earlier.

I thought, schmaybe, just schmaybe, cranky pants old Communist Karen had had herself an Elon-like moment of reflection amid all the flames and chaos.

That Mayor Bass was ready to...well, not kiss, but perhaps bite her vicious forked tongue and make nice for the sake of her city and its legal residents.

I was even willing to think Trump might be generous and gracious in his response, unlike my dear friend, Dr Alice.

He should keep her on hold for 20 minutes.

Stranger things have happened, right?

After all, Gretchen Whitmer wasn't hiding behind blue folders the last time she met Trump. She'd caved and was right out there in the open for everyone to see.

President Trump gives a big shoutout to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer:

"You know, I'm not supposed to do that. She's a Democrat. They say, don't do that. Don't have her here!"

I can only imagine what Mayor Bass would like to say to the president.

Maybe ask for an emergency declaration to help spruce up all the graffiti that's been spray-painted everywhere. She seemed to think that was her biggest issue yesterday afternoon.

You know, worrying about how the town would look for World Cup visitors in a couple of weeks instead of worrying whether there'd BE a town left to visit in a couple of weeks.

Karen Bass says the city is covered in graffiti—far more than just a few blocks.

The vandalism is so extensive, she says the city won’t be ready to host the World Cup, and she’s calling all hands on deck—including non-city employees and the public—to clean up the graffiti.… pic.twitter.com/QDTextGHtI

Progressives have their priorities, and the rest of the world has ours.

I have been disappointed in Democrats before, and now I've been disappointed again.

Cranky Pants McCommunist went on a tear, and the chance for détente has surely slipped through her cold, incompetent, pointing fingers.

Aw. Trump's not gonna talk to her now. https://t.co/BT9XGx8Vsa

THIS WAS PROVOKED BY THE WHITE HOUSE

Keep poking that bear, Communista chica.

Do you all remember what I said this morning in my post on Pelosi's lies about this White House being ferocious off the mark in response to Democratic social media gaslighting?

Check out what they just dropped. This is exactly what I meant.

It's frickin' take no prisoners time, baby.

Trump 2.0 told Fredo Newsom to take care of California’s business or he and the National Guard would. So far, it’s working. pic.twitter.com/BszkkehAUS

Trump 2.0 is a whole different animal.

Commie Karen probably should have called.
