Now that I’ve done this site for a good while, few things surprise me. What I mean is, there are good candidates and bad candidates, well-run campaigns and crappily run campaigns, slogans that work, slogans that don’t work.
On and on and on.
Tonight, however, I have been surprised.
There is a MAGA candidate for Huntington Beach City Council named Brian Thienes (sorta rhymes with penis). He is in the Pat Burns-Gracey Van Der Mark mold of idiot right winger who spews Trump talking points, kneels before the Orange God of Idiocy and, when no one is looking, steals toilet paper rolls on annual Christmas visits to the Mar-a-Lago men’s bathroom (Being serious—this guy actually visits Mar-aLago fairly often. So … who knows?).
Anyhow, somewhat recently Thienes (a small-business owner with a shitload of skeletons I anticipate delving into in the coming days) decided he needed to boost his campaign messaging. So he said, um, this …
And I’m just gonna say it: Of all the potential Huntington Beach City Council members pledging to work hard for you two days a week, Brian Thienes is your guy. He will, I am quite certain, not even think about you on those other five days of the week. But come Tuesday and Thursday, bruh is there for you! On the job! Putting in at least three good hours before lunch, and maybe even two more good hours after! LFG!
On Tuesdays and Thursdays (unless Tuesdays or Thursdays fall on holiday, or he needs to be home for a handyman, or his pony is running at Santa Anita, or he just wants to sleep in after a rough night out), he’ll make sure important issues are addressed, like … oh, the MAGA plaque outside the library. The Trump statue in the park. Banning books that mention boobs and gay people.
But, only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Most Tuesdays and Thursdays.
When he can get to the office.
Sigh.

PS: Not for nothing, the guy is throwing money around left and right. Wanna know why nobody trusts politics …
