She has been sworn in, now.



Juli Briskman was the cyclist who gave the Trump motorcade the finger. Donald Trump was so angry he demanded that she be fired, and she was.
She was so angry she decided to run for office and defeated the local Republican candidate.
She has been sworn in, now.

But the story gets better.
She is now on the Local Board of Supervisors that oversees legislation for leisure facilities in her county.
A county which includes Trump’s National Golf Club.

We love to see it.

I hope he comes to bitterly regret his little tantrum. The King of Pettiness.

Virtually any past president would have just laughed it off. But Trump has zero sense of humor. I think he only laughs when others are suffering.

Jaime Primak getting elected is poetic justice. The way for Dems to get to him is to openly mock him for the rest of his life.

Who knows if Rump even saw her.
But also in fairness, if he had seen her or thought of it first, I have no doubt he would have done the same or worse. IRS audit yearly, deportation due to mistaken identity (oops), etc.

She has a MBA Degree in marketing. She is no empty bag. I have a feeling if she chose to further her political career, she would be right up there with the Katie Porter's and AOC's of this world.

I was on the freeway in Florida and the bubble started forming on the other side. Cop cars all over the place, I knew who was coming. Sure enough 30 seconds later there he was.
But I was too afraid that they'd shoot into my car and ask questions afterwards.

It makes me entertain running for Congress. I hate, with a passion, our congressman. Hell. I will even run like a Q if it peels off voters from him.

everyone to salute former person Trump. Largest flip-off crowd in history. Not valid in some states.
