Todd Rokita, the Attorney General of Indiana, not only defended Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments, but called them “independent thinking”.
The Republican candidate for Nevada Secretary of State says he is working with other Republicans to guarantee that Individual 1 gets reinstated in 2024.
Marge Greene blowing a dog whistle about Great Replacement.
On the one hand, the Great Replacement Theory is Trumpshit crazy conspiracy nonsense.
On the other hand, I look at the sort of people and cultures it would “replace” and think: “Fuck it - roll on, replacement”.
Preordained, dare I say even anointed? They really do want to shit-can democracy in order to keep in power.
Lindsey Graham threatened to end a meeting with the mother of the Capitol -police officer who was killed on 1/6 unless she stopped saying bad things about Individual 1.
Former FOX anchor jumped on trumpie’s coattails, now running for governor of Arizona.
Only in 'Murica.
As election returns rolled in on the evening of November 3, 2020, a local news host in Phoenix was starring in an intensely awkward broadcast. The Fox 10 anchor Kari Lake was refusing to call Arizona for Joe Biden—even though her network had already done so. “If [voters] wake up tomorrow or two days later and it flips,” she insisted, her pendant earrings swinging, “there’s distrust in the system.” Lake’s co-anchor, John Hook, lost patience. “Well, we’re taking our cues from Fox, the mothership,” he interrupted. “That’s kind of what we do.”
A few weeks after the election, Lake went on leave. In March 2021, the 51-year-old announced that she was quitting TV altogether. What happened next was a political rise that not even Lake herself could have anticipated.
That June, she declared a bid for governor of Arizona. Unlike other Republicans, Lake said, she would kowtow to nobody and nothing—not the would-be election fraudsters of the Democratic Party, not the federal government’s mandates, and certainly not the radical left. She quickly earned Donald Trump’s endorsement, began paying visits to Mar-a-Lago, and started speaking alongside the former president at rallies—he’s joining her on the stump in Mesa today. By August of this year, Lake had defeated all of her GOP primary opponents. Now Lake is one election away from the governor’s office.
…A few moments later, Lake spoke to the rest of the audience, her voice low but forceful. “God placed us here for a reason,” she said. “The very same God who parted the Red Sea, the very same God who moved mountains, is with us right now as we take back our country and save this republic.”
This is a long and thoroughly disheartening article.
Assuming for simplicity’s sake that the law is as it is now stands in 2024, if this guy is elected, could these statements be used against him in any action legislators or voters take against hypothetical attempts to actually circumvent vote totals or some such?
Mike Pompeo tweeted yesterday that he had a major bombshell he was going to release today. The only news reports I hear about him dated today are that he went on Fox to complain that Biden isn’t doing enough for Ukraine. That’s a bombshell that needed a day’s notice?
The chairwoman of the Los Angeles City Council resigned after her racist comments surfaced.
Not Republican. The clue is she was elected in Los Angeles.
Yeah, good point.
You can also tell that she’s not a Republican because after this came out, she resigned, rather than using it as a campaign slogan.
Good catch. We should have a thread for democrats who take responsibility for their actions.
Both of these are reasonable guesses as to what Donald may be hoping for.
It’s also possible that he has no ideas on the subject at all—that he sees his claim purely as an aid to fund-raising. (That occurred to me after I’d posted, yesterday.)
Exactly the point I was trying to make in the Senate thread. Democrats aren’t perfect but they do have a higher likelihood to take responsibility for their actions these days.
Elon Musk says it’s everyone else’s fault but his that his daughter wants nothing to do with him, and that she has been brainwashed by “neo-Marxists” into coming out as trans and changing her last name.
Maybe I’m remembering my dog whistle slurs wrong but, isn’t “neo-Marxists” yet another code phrase for Jews?
Spoiled rich brat who grew up profiting off apartheid slave labor turns out to be anti-semitic; film at 11.
Ironically, though, if you asked him his opinion of the Israel/Palestine situation, his proposal would probably be “the Arabs roll over and let Israel do whatever it wants”.
Yes, you are,
I’ll let is go this time since I know you weren’t properly caffeinated when you posted this.
Also, the dog whistles change tune so frequently it’s probably what Musk actually meant to imply.
