Antifa Supplier Based in San Diego Revealed by President
This week’s hump day is an "I can’t even deal with this crap day" for me.
I’m busy working on voter guides and my news feed is blowing up with Republican absurdities.... Biden mocked by Trump for mask wearing… Trump advisors looking for ways to steal election… Senate report largely based on Russian disinformation condemns Joe Biden’s son…. The NRA is now saying if Biden wins Beto O'Rourke is going to be "knocking on your door for your AR-15.”
So, in the interest of not having a meltdown over this (deliberate, BTW) onslaught of unreality, I’m going to focus on this week’s winner in the category of stupidest thing said by the President on a day ending in Y.

San Diego based Bumble Bee Tuna, according to what was said by the President at one of his super-coronavirus-spreader events on Tuesday, is responsible for manufacturing the latest weapon of choice by antifa anarchists: a can of tuna.
His choice of the Bumble Bee brand is no accident. The company dared to issue a statement critical of the administration’s tariffs imposed on China. Actually, they called it “devastating.”
If there’s one thing we should have all learned about our current president is that he can carry a grudge with the best of them.
And it turns out the company was right, at least in part. The company filed for bankruptcy last fall, and ended up being sold to a Taiwanese company, a long-term fish supplier.
There were other factors, like fines from a settlement for a 2011-2013 price-fixing scheme, and debt from the company being bought and sold and bought and sold by private equity/corporate entities, but Trump’s war on China was likely the last straw.
I am unable to get confirmation on the amount of the naming rights fees paid by antifa, but it must be in seven figures if flying tuna cans was deemed important enough for the President to notice.
Not long ago, information from the same source (Trump’s imagination) named Campbell’s Soup as another antifa supplier.
I can only hope the checks from George Soros arrived in time to cover costs of the anarchists brilliant branding scheme.

Seriously, folks… I am on deadline for not one, but two San Diego voter guides, so I just pounded this story out because I could. (And because I liked the graphics on Twitter.)
