Sure, Trump has your back. It’s to keep you in place as the bus crushes you. ---

He’ll be fine. Pocket any and all leftover campaign funds. A gig on Faux News/QAnon/Newshit. Speaking tours with the fringe wackos. Too bad His Orangeous doesn’t like losers. ---

Looks like we dodged a couple of bullets in Idaho. McGeachin and Giddings are comfortably behind in their respective races for governor and lt. governor. It’s a sad commentary on Idaho politics when Brad Little is the sanest Republican running for governor. ---

Schadenfreude, certainly, over Cawthorne’s remarkable act of political self-immolation over the last two years. But the ultimate outcome is that his district will now be represented by someone who’ll vote just as lockstep in line with the MAGA agenda but won’t be so much of a clown about it. ---

I was coming to post about this. Glad to see Trump backed Nutbag McGeachin got her ass handed to her. And yes, sad that Little is the preferred candidate, but that’s where we are now. Saddest part is that in my neck of the woods, McGeachin easily carried the county. 🤮 I live in Dipshitville. I’m sure Ammon Bundy will be the prevailing candidate here in November. > **[Midterm updates | Idaho attorney general loses GOP primary](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/may/17/idaho-gov-little-defeats-trump-backed-mcgeachin/)** > > BOISE, Idaho — Former U.S. Rep.

Bad news: you’re forgetting that _he wasn’t invited to any._ Good news: being a Republican, that won’t stop him from writing a book in which he makes up the names, dates, and kinks. ---
