I used to work with a guy who had almost the same surname (‘t’ instead of ‘c’ after the ‘s’). He said his ancestry was Croatian. ---

Law enforcement has no obligation to be polite, give advance notice, or only arrive at a convenient time when serving a search warrant. All true of course. I just wanted to be clear I wasn’t among those using it as a pejorative to mean “illegal witch-hunt.” ---

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m in agreement with Ron DeSantis. He calls out Hannity repeatedly, stating that ‘it wasn’t a raid.’ > ---

Of course the only reason DeSantis is doing the right thing vs Hannity is to de-throne Trump ahead of 2024. He is no less self-serving than the orange shit-stain himself. ---

> [@Capn\_Carl](#): > > Normally I agree with both Brooks and Capehardt, but not this time. Most Americans are tired of Trump, and the cracks in his support are growing. Having Top Secret documents in his basement is difficult to explain. His supporters will LOVE that he stole documents. They are as big of assholes as he is. They LOVE that he lies constantly and gets away with any number of crimes. Make no mistake, they look up to him, idolize him, because they want to be just like him. They are tired of this law and order stuff. They just want to be able to rob a gas station for beer and cheetos with no repercussions. After all they where out of beer and cheetos. MAGA!!111! It’s the American way. ---

I’m sorry. Really am. But the Desantis/Hannity clip above is a fake. Here is Desantis originally, in 2020: > Here is the original account owner admitting he faked it: > > ---

This is so true, for most of his supporters. But some have shifted their support lately. They still claim to love him, but say he’s too divisive. They can’t admit to any loss of affection for him, but they want him to go away. ---

I saw it on TikTok (hey, I was on the toilet taking a shit). The guy who posted it made it very clear that it was fake, but it was still nice to pretend that there are same Republican governors out there. ---

After all they where out of beer and cheetos. MAGA!!111! It’s the American way. This is true about a lot of trumpers, but confusingly, not all. I work in a convenience store gas station. In a redneck town. I would say that the majority of people who I wait on are trumers. Many/most? are self serving, entitled, redneck idiots. However, there are a few who are decent hardworking people, who will go out of their way to help. I don’t understand it; I cannot explain it. Why would decent honest, not well educated, but not stupid by any stretch, buy the garbage he’s selling? It makes me sad for them because they’ve been conned and it isn’t right. ---

There are sane Republicans governors out there (such as Hogan of Maryland, Scott of Vermont and Baker of Massachusetts), but they tend to be careful of what they say about Trump. ---
