    My Colleague Thomas Massie, “We have no plan whatsoever to balance the budget other than growth but what they are proposing will explode the deficit.”

    Well they are White Heterosexual Incompetent Men (WHIM) of the Neanderthal kind. Can’t expect anything more.

    It’s poetry that racist Strom Thurman’s filibuster record to stop the Civil Rights Act was broken by a black man in the Senate. Condolences in Hell, Strom.

    @ 2

    Oh, look!

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron has no idea that there was no bill to filibuster last night, so it’s not a filibuster that Booker is engaging in.

    It’s merely kabuki theater. For the uninformed. Like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron.

    There being no more opportunity to grift off of his corrupt father’s name and held office, POS Hunter Biden has no need for a law license in Washington, D.C.

    @3 Yeah, it’s just kabuki theater.

    Though not a filibuster in the technical sense—his remarks were not tied to a specific vote—Booker’s address ground the Senate to a halt. More significantly, his speech became an unexpected rallying cry for Democrats seeking to reinvigorate opposition to the President’s policies ahead of the next election cycle. Hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned in online to watch Booker’s historic stand.

    In Wisconsin, local media report that some polling locations in Milwaukee County ran out of ballots due to “unprecedented turnout.” Given that Trump got less than 30% of the vote there last November, I’ll venture a wild guess that this isn’t Republican turnout.

    In early results, even before any Milwaukee County precincts have reported, the election appears to be moving safely out of reach of Elon Musk’s candidate. The good-gal incumbent schools superintendent also has a healthy lead.

    @ 7

    I won’t get into the WI judicial race vote tally.

    But the early results on the Voter ID issue have it passing with a > 70% approval so far.

    Democrats are about to find out that Voter ID is very popular..

    Moreover, so will the GOP.

    [Update: I’ll leave this here but I likely spoke too soon. What might be a little clearer is that about 10% of voters supporting the Democrat for the Court also want Voter ID – looks like a 6% difference so far].

    @8 Jim Banks, hahaha, hard-right senator from Indiana who opposed student loan relief because he thought it would hurt military recruiting, opposing Covid relief, thinks climate change is “leftist propaganda,” opposes day marriage and treating LGBQT people like human beings, voted against Ukraine aid. He’s a man of your stripes, dumbfuck, right about your alley. You two clowns could start your own circus. 🤡🤡🤡

    Susan Crawford now has a massive lead in Wisconsin’s court race, even with less than half of Milwaukee County’s vote counted. Poor Elon, another $25 million down the drain.

    Let the blame game begin: It’s Biden’s George Soros’ Elon’s fault.

    Hey, you CDC employees being shown the door this week:

    Remember when your boss used a teachers union’s talking points verbatim as official CDC guidelines, back when the teachers liked Zooming in from home while their students failed to perform?

    This is reaping what you stood by and let your leadership sow five years ago. Enjoy unemployment!

  15. 15

    @ 13

    Susan Crawford now has a massive lead in Wisconsin’s court race.

    And yet Voter ID approval is holding fairly steady at 61%.

    Right now there are 492k voters who pulled the lever for Crawford. And yet only 326k voters are a NO on Voter ID.

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, why do more than 150,000 Wisconsin Democrats want Voter ID?

  16. 16

    Right now there are more Wisconsin voters who want Voter ID than there are who want Susan Crawford.

  17. 17

    @15 Voter ID is already the law in Wisconsin, dumbfuck. This vote merely puts into the state constitution the voting procedures the state has had for years.

    And because photo ID is already the law in Wisconsin elections, we can say with confidence that it totally failed to prevent a massive rejection of the Elon Musk candidate in that state’s pivotal supreme court election. It’s also failing to prevent the defeat of Wisconsin’s school-voucher candidate in the superintendent of instruction race.

    And because photo ID has been the law for years in Wisconsin elections, I guess tonight’s results are evidence of sorts that illegals haven’t been swinging Wisconsin elections, huh?

    @ 17

    Easier to change a law than to change the constitution, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    And look at the shit WI Democrats have tried to pull using the legislature as a bludgeon.

    Look also at the blatant politicization of the WI Supreme Court, which might find the Voter ID law unconstitutional but has no prayer of doing that if it’s successfully enshrined into the state constitution. It’s protection against fraudulent Democrat state supreme court justices.

    @19 “And look at the shit WI Democrats have tried to pull using the legislature as a bludgeon. Look also at the blatant politicization of the WI Supreme Court …”

    You obviously know nothing about Wisconsin politics. 😂🤣😅😹🙈

    Frumpy lost more votes than he got. First President to do so twice, since 1976, with the exception of when Ross Perot and Ralph Nader to a lesser degree were formidable candidates

    Heck the nut job who withdrew in 2024, and was only on the ballot in 32 states, got 700000

    @ 21

    Frumpy lost more votes than he got.

    Wholly irrelevant. But you go ahead and grasp any data point that helps you forget that you were a part of the 2024 Democrat implosion, G-clown.

  24. 24

    back when the teachers liked Zooming in from home while their students failed to perform?

    Hetero parents failed their kids.

  26. 26

    @16 Actually no, not right now; at the moment Crawford has 783,766 votes (62% of votes counted) and “Yes” has 767,281 (55% counted), although “Yes” is running a little ahead of Crawford percentage-wise, so that may change as more votes come in, and the numbers are changing very quickly.

    There is no good news for you in this election, dumbfuck. Crawford is going to win decisively. Or more precisely, Elmo is suffering a crushing defeat. And voter ID was already the law.

  28. 28

    @22 With pleasure! His ass makes a squishy sound when I plant my paw on it. I don’t think he’s had a movement this week.

    Elon played video games while “Western Civilization” burns:

    On Sunday night, Elon Musk ― the world’s richest man, one of America’s largest defense contractors and a top political and policy adviser to the president of the United States ― took time out of his busy schedule of posting on X (the social media site he owns), playing video games and leading a team purportedly dedicated to government efficiency to fly to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and campaign for a state Supreme Court race.

    And he had a very good reason. “This Wisconsin Supreme Court race might decide the future of America and Western Civilization,” Musk wrote on X shortly before appearing at a town hall in Green Bay. “It’s a big deal.”

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/wisconsin-supreme-court-race-elon-musk-democrat-playbook_n_67ebedeee4b0e75d098ba6e9

    To him it’s a big deal (this is why), and he’s getting his ass kicked.

  31. 31

    @29 I’m sure the horse will give you a pass. In fact, the horse probably wishes he’d fuck someone else for a while, although I’m certainly not suggesting you for that role. Maybe he can score with the goat.

  32. 32

    The race has been called for Susan Crawford.

    Yes, the GOPers did keep their two House seats in Florida, but by half the margin they had last November, which is not a good sign for Republicans who must run in swing districts in the midterms, and the Great Tariff Inflation hasn’t even kicked in yet and for now most seniors are still getting their Social Security checks.

    Meanwhile, the GOP’s two Florida survivals don’t seem likely to help them very much in any practical sense:

    House Republican leaders on Tuesday canceled votes for the rest of the week after a band of GOP lawmakers staged a rebellion on the floor, bringing legislative action to a screeching halt.

  35. 35

    Meanwhile, in Congress,

    House Republicans torpedo Johnson effort to block proxy voting for new parents

    The House GOP battle over proxy voting for new parents escalated to a full-blown procedural war Tuesday that will have ramifications for Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) ability to control his razor-thin majority.

    Nine Republicans joined Democrats in torpedoing a procedural rule that would have blocked Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) from forcing action on the proxy voting measure. It was a hardball play by Johnson and GOP leaders that ended up backfiring.

    Yeah, the College Republicans are swine, but I hate to see this kind of thing. The professor is probably going to lose his job over this, and may even face criminal assault charges, and it’s just not worth.

    It’s important for Democrats to set the example of peaceful dissent, since Republicans are no good at it. And it just gives the other side ammunition to use against us.

    So when they make your blood boil, keep your cool and don’t flip over their table, pull up their yard sign, or key their fucking car. That’s real strength. Flipping them off is okay, though.

  42. 42

    41,
    They were breaking the law.
    But sometimes you’ve got to trust voters and the process. A better approach would have been to sue the little shits for all the Elmo money and leave them destitute.

  43. 43

    41,
    I see that the Federalist (irony) is calling for Fat Hitler to seize control of the National Guard and deploy them onto the campus to “impose order” and begin rounding up the “long hairs”.

  44. 44

    In the final hours of voting Elmo upped his bribe per Wisconsin voter from $20 to $50.

    As we now know it was a record turn out.

    I sure hope they all get paid.

  45. 45

    I’ve been saying this for a while, but national Democrats could learn some things from Ben Wikler in Wisconsin.

    Ben suffered a humiliating defeat five months ago, as we all did. But he did not spend even one single second licking his wounds or crying about the MAGA cheating. He just kept right on working on the next thing.

  46. 46

    In Elmo’s own words on FOX:

    Losing this judge race has good chance of causing Republicans to lose control of the house. You lose control of the house, there will be nonstop impeachment hearings and subpoenas

    Wisconsin Democrats saving America here.

  47. 47

    @42 Back in my pollworker days, a supporter of a Republican candidate drove up, lined the sidewalk into the polling place where I was working with yard signs, in violation of state law, and drove off. The polling place supervisor waited until he left, then pulled them all up and deposited them in the dumpster. This was not vandalism, it was enforcing the law.

    Instead of taking the law into his own hands, the professor should have reported the College Republicans to the polling place supervisor, who should have ordered them to leave, and called the cops if they didn’t comply. That wouldn’t have been fruitless; the sheriff there is a Democrat.

    Why resort to vigilantism, when you don’t have to? Let the rule of law work the way it’s supposed to.

  48. 48

    @46 The smart thing to do is not engage impeachable conduct when you’re only 3 flipped seats away from losing the majority.

  49. 49

    @44 I sure hope Elmo is prosecuted for vote buying. In his case, since a fine is no deterrent, he should get jail time if convicted.

  50. 50

    48,

    When everything a president does is impeachable conduct…

    It’s the Jordan Belfort defense, most recently employed by Sam Bankman Fried.

    It didn’t work so well for him.

  51. 51

    49,

    It’s possible that last night’s results may reinforce Josh Kaul’s spine a little.

    But mostly I hope it reinforces all Democrat’s spines. Ben Wikler and Wisconsin Democrats shouldn’t enjoy all the fun.

    New today Mallory McMorrow is challenging Gary Peters in Michigan. Who dat? She’s this person:

    https://youtu.be/iLWo8B1R0MY

    I’m not going to lie, I love this woman. She’s the real deal. But I also don’t have a problem with Gary Peters.

    I do however believe that this is the right time for this. I don’t vote in Michigan, so it’s none of my business which Democrat represents them in the Senate. But I think a lesson we need to learn from 2024 is to stop being afraid of primary elections. With Biden staying in until the end of July, I’m not sure there was any other option that year. But the elevation of Vice President Harris without a contest came at a substantial cost in voter engagement and turnout.

    In times like these, and facing a fascist onslaught attacking all our institutions, it’s tempting to want to play it safe. But I think Democratic primaries can help elevate issues that matter to voters. Remember that much of the rise of MAGA came about as a result of primary challenges to moderate, mainstream Republicans. Democratic party leaders, funders, and organizers should embrace competitive party primaries as a way to engage with unaligned, disengaged voters.

    It’s Wednesday morning and the House Republican majority have given themselves the week off again.

    And that’s a very good thing.

    Let’s see if any of them have the guts to return to their districts and face their angry voters.

    Tesla Q1 deliveries missed their target by over 15%.

    That’s quite an achievement for TeslaTakedown in only the last couple of weeks in the quarter.

    Now with rising unemployment, collapsing consumer confidence, and the movement gaining momentum I think we can make the Q2 results miss by at least 25%.

    That should be enough, if it can be sustained, to produce the financial death spiral for Tesla and Elmo that America needs to help save our democracy.

  55. 55

    @ 54

    Tesla Q1 deliveries missed their target by over 15%.

    Rivian reported a sharp decline in first-quarter deliveries on Wednesday, as the electric-vehicle maker grapples with soft demand, sending its shares down more than 2.5% in premarket trading.

    The company delivered 8,640 vehicles in the quarter ended March 31, compared with 13,588 a year ago.

    That’s a 36.5% decline for Rivian.

    Rivian will go tits up far sooner than Tesla will, QoS McHillbilly.

  56. 56

    @ 52

    New today Mallory McMorrow is challenging Gary Peters in Michigan.

    New today QoS McHillbilly will learn that Gary Peters announced months ago that he will not stand for re-election.
