Ted Cruz introduces a bill to ban vaccination passports nation wide.
The Governor of South Dakota flew to the Republican Governors’ Convention on the My Pillow guy’s private jet. When he wasn’t allowed inside the convention, he flew off, leaving her stranded and looking for a ride home.
I approve of this cover, except that I think it is insulting to hardworking worms everywhere.
This is so accurate that it brings tears (of rage or of frustration? tough to say) to my eyes.
Excellent John Oliver show last week with several strong segments, including one taking jabs at (R.) candidates like Chuck Peruto,
who reassures us:
Remember the Wonderful McCloskeys? The weapons-grade paranoid lawyers brandishing firearms at protestors who were simply walking past their house to protest at the mayors house?
Here’s Numbnut’s electoral bid.
I wonder where he stands on the stand-your-ground law.
Next up - yet another up-side-down-mouther, like his old man and Gaetz, there’s Andrew Giuliani (a sort of sperm-mutation-in-a-petri-dish of Ron Howard, Will Ferrell and Mark Davis), who, as a 35 year-old, claimed to be in politics for 32 years
Imperative: you must continue watching on for Andrew’s stint on a golf-themed reality tv show. Absolute, complete Backpfeifengesicht. (Mike: “I mean - he would talk to this door, if it had ears.”) (never seen a reality tv show, but if it had golden commentary like that all the time, yeah, I’d watch.)
As Oliver concluded - yeah, buffoons, but so is Trump. In this GOP world, anything is fucking possible now. Scary.
ETA: Luckily Peruto is in a dem stronghold area. (Philly)
And yet, they still enable the crazies by voting with the R bloc. It is a red wall, not unlike the “blue wall” of LE, in the same way as there may be decent police officers, but they still side will the nasty ones.
Most of these went on the record as actively voting for Biden and some went so far as to campaign for him. I can’t say 100% of them, but a solid majority did.
Trumplicans approve of MLK now? Who knew!
The Texas voter suppression law has a provision that lets judges overturn elections without any evidence of voter fraud or any reason other than the judge’s personal opinion.
“language was inserted in the bill making it easier to overturn an election, no longer requiring evidence that fraud actually altered an outcome of a race — but rather only that enough ballots were illegally cast that could have made a difference.”
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought MLK was killed by the Deep State because he had found out about their plan to make Joe Biden president 52 years later and was about to deliver the proof to Fred Trump (who died one month before JFK Jr.'s “accidental” death - coincidence?)
I’m kinda done with the exercise of distinguishing good conservatives and republicans from destructive ones. What’s the point? They cannot stop the destruction of American democracy at this point, which is something that they as a party have enabled for years.
To their discredit, Democrats in Congress also appear to be having trouble bringing themselves to believe just how dangerous the GQP attack on democracy is. I kinda understand – who would want to believe that your colleagues elected to the nation’s highest legislative body are so small minded? – but they’re in danger in being swept aside by the shameless and nefarious tactics of their opponents.
Somewhere buried in that morass of stupidity that has become the Republican Party lies a group who are smart enough to understand that the nation’s electorate is moving away from them. Yet they still believe that they can, and should be able to, govern with a minority of the people behind them. They might be right.
Anti-marijuana Republican Congresswoman is stocking up on marijuana stocks.
The My Pillow guy is going to investigate the Republican governors of Georgia and Arizona after he was booted from the Republican Governors’ Convention.
He claims he’s spending millions of dollars on the investigation. Maybe he ought to start saving his money for when Dominion Voting Systems takes over his company.
Well, it’s not like he’s going to be able to keep anything once the lawsuit is over. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some of this spending is actually laundering money to hide it so it’s not confiscated.
That sounds on-brand.
In a big-dollar case such as Dominion’s against Lindell, there’s surely some mechanism for identifying money-laundering by the rightly-pessimistic defendant…isn’t there? Perhaps it varies by state?
I’m reminded of divorce cases in which the more asset-rich of the two parties, anticipating the break-up, tries to hide some of those assets. This is so common an element in news reports about divorce that perhaps it’s not illegal, though surely it should be.
During a cult meeting closed to the media, Mike Flynn calls for a Myanmar-style coup to install Loser Donald as dictator.
Crazy “pastor” Rick Wiles, who doesn’t believe in covid or vaccines, has covid.
Fox is OUTRAGED that Kamala Harris told everybody to have a good long weekend, instead of talking about Memorial day being about soldiers. 20 minutes after Fox reported on their outrage, they reported on the best cocktails to drink this weekend.
Meghan McCain is also outraged by Harris’s comments. In the meantime, she’s gambling and drinking in Vegas, while Harris visited John McCain’s grave.
^ I like both of these, for various values of ‘like’, but googled a bit to confirm. The FOX pivot from outrage to cocktails is legit and not surprising.
McCain was at a casino on Saturday but it was just outside of Washington and so it’s a stretch to turn that one into much of a gotcha.
