here's an excerpt from the AP story. 

if Trump runs in 2024, she might be the frontrunner for VP.

Trump might not run in 2024, but he might pimp out Don Jr, who's campaign stump speech will be that he will pardon his dad his first day in office.

I can't take credit for this angle (saw it on the Twitters a few days back) but to me, that's plausible.  Keep it all in the family.  They don't want others cashing in on the grift.

Don Jr. 's luck with non-fentanyl laced coke is gonna run out eventually.  Right now he's getting un-stepped on shit straight from friends down South.  He hits the campaign trail though and gets desperate and just snorts what's available in Des Moines or Nashua or Charleston.....he's gonna catch a few hot baggies in a row and go down for the count.  Not dead, but certainly hospitalized.  Shit like that?  Hard to keep under wraps.  His audience is forgiving but they'd rather drug scandals be limited to rappers and athletes.

If there's anything I've learned from this timeline, it's that Trumps do not suffer consequences.  Ever.

This is so painfully true. There’s no message discipline. It doesn’t have to be smart- just every elected Dem should go on a media blitz and say the same thing. something like “The Republican filibuster will crash the economy” - bonus is you get two birds with that one.

What's crazy is that this isn't lightning in a bottle - Bill Clinton and Obama both had extremely competent people doing the messaging and lining people up, and those people are still around - Obama was only one term ago, and Clinton's staff in the 90s were also fairly young then.

I get that a bunch of these people cashed out after Clinton and Obama left office, and maybe they don't want to deal with being inside the political beast anymore, but there had to have been plenty of people below them who saw how they operated.

But incompetency, thy name is the Democratic Party.

They didn't grow their ranks fast enough to keep the House, Senate, and White House, and that was before covid really put a dent in their numbers.

Uh, I thought Yellen already said the Treasury Dept. will sue to get money back if it's used for anything not-COVID related?

and there's another fucking thing. why would there even be a choice about how the money is used? I really need to relearn how federal funds are distributed and why governors have any discretion about how they are used.

Seriously. You misappropriate the funds, you don't get any more federal assistance of any kind until that's covered. Alabama you say? Guess what we won't do for awhile is subsidize your farmers.

This whole prison debacle is just the latest chapter in an ongoing boondoggle.

I don’t know all the details but Governor MeeMaw has been trying for a couple of years to get these prisons built.

She tried some cockamamie scheme to get a couple of private prison operations to build them and then the state would lease and operate them but that fell apart when the companies couldn’t get funding.

The legislature rejected proposals to issue bonds to fund them.

The real motivation for her is trying to do an end run around a suit filed by the DOJ last year. The suit alleges constitutional violations for failure to protect inmates from violence and excessive force by COs.

And as a result of a different lawsuit, Alabama is under federal court orders to improve mental health care and hire more staff.

She thinks building two shiny new concentration camps will somehow cancel out the rest of the shitty prisons and avoid any accountability that will come.

It’s like a college football team self-penalizing with a bowl game ban and taking away three scholarships in hopes the NCAA won’t hand out actual punishment.

She’s a marble mouth fool.

New Marist poll today had Biden -1 but Dems +8 on the GCB. Why? Suburban women 60-30 Dem and suburbs overall 53-34 Dem. 

The anti-vax, anti-abortion message of the Death Cult is working…..for the Dem party. 

Also who votes in midterms? Suburban women/voters.

I always assumed it was George Soros and Bill Gates.

What exactly do they put in those smoke detectors? They're making "smart" smoke detectors now. How do we know they're not sending electromagnetic waves to your brain to make you vote Democrat?

Posted

They're obviously listening devices.  George Soros and Bill Gates keep Daylight Saving time alive so that twice a year, your local news reminds you to check the batteries in your smoke detectors.  Which is really just their way of making you pay to power their own listening devices.  It's a brilliant scheme really.

Michele Carew would seem an unlikely target of Donald Trump loyalists who have fixated their fury on the notion that the 2020 election was stolen from the former president.

The nonpartisan elections administrator in the staunchly Republican Hood County, just an hour southwest of Fort Worth, oversaw an election in which Trump got some 81% of the vote. It was among the former president’s larger margins of victory in Texas, which also went for him.

 

Expand  

 

  Quote

Yet over the past 10 months, Carew’s work has come under persistent attack from hard-line Republicans. They allege disloyalty and liberal bias at the root of her actions, from the time she denied a reporter with the fervently pro-Trump network One America News entrance to a training that was not open to the public to accusations, disputed by the Texas secretary of state’s office, that she is violating state law by using electronic machines that randomly number ballots.

Viewing her decisions as a litmus test of her loyalty to the Republican Party, they have demanded that Carew be fired or her position abolished and her duties transferred to an elected county clerk who has used social media to promote baseless allegations of widespread election fraud.

Expand  

 

  Quote

Republican politicians and conspiracy theorists continue to cast doubt on the election process across the country, particularly in areas where President Joe Biden won. They have demanded audits in states like Arizona, where the results of a Republican-led review in Maricopa County confirmed Biden’s victory. They have also moved to restrict voting in multiple states, including Texas, which passed sweeping legislation that has already drawn lawsuits alleging the disenfranchisement of vulnerable voters.

Last week, Trump issued a public letter demanding an audit in Texas. Hours later, the Texas secretary of state’s office announced that it had begun a “comprehensive forensic audit” in four of the state’s largest counties: Dallas, Harris, Tarrant and Collin. Biden won three of the four.
