It’s been a no-good, terrible, very bad day over at Politico. When the Trump Administration cut USAID funding, it also shut off an apparent revenue stream for Politico. It was obviously just an unfortunate coincidence that news broke that they missed payroll the same day. Politico told its employees the payroll glitch was caused by a tech issue.
What could possibly make missing payroll and getting caught in a rogue government department money scandal worse for Politico?
In a word… Pizza!

If it’s proven that Politico had a part in this, they may be in big trouble. It came as no surprise that the statists running USAID were misusing taxpayer money or that the leftist lapdogs over at Politico couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get their grubby little hands on some of it, but if it’s proven that they are messing with American’s pizza, it might be a step too far.

If it’s true, do you think Pete Hegseth could find room at Gitmo for the pizza-slandering Politico perpetrators?
We shall feed them pizza only in Guantanamo…but only the kind currently served in public schools

Or maybe Marco Rubio can work something out with El Salvador?

The environmental wackos, who would have us all eat crickets, have no idea what they are up against. Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza every second. That equates to Americans spending more money on pizza every day than Gavin Newsom spends on hair products. Pizza is the second favorite fast food after hamburgers. Maybe this was their plan B after failing to get rid of those methane-producing flatulent cows.
Just like the beef, we will not tolerate anyone coming for our pizza.

If this doesn’t prove to you how much they hate us I’m not sure anything will. Basta!

Politico might be able to survive missing payroll here and there or a scandal over dark money payments from corrupt bureaucrats. Can they survive an attempt to take away our pizza?
Americans can only be expected to forgive so much. Hell, even Democrats love pizza.
