It’s too hot. Please for goodness sake, someone do something about it. Like another week of this in May. In May? May? Seriously, May. I don’t like it. We just skipped from low 60’s to mid 80’s? Fuck. In goddam May. This is supposed to be some of the nicest time of the year. Instead it’s just too hot.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.

    Gee, I’m sure sorry about driving drunk earlier this month. But because I’m a shameless Democrat, I’m still gonna run for Congress.

    Last night I was cited for a misdemeanor for driving under the influence. My decision to drive last night was irresponsible. I accept full responsibility and there is no excuse for my actions. To my family, constituents and supporters, I am so deeply sorry. I know I need to do better. I will not let this personal failure distract from our work in California and in Washington.

    Husband-beating Katie Porter wants me to own her seat and I’m not gonna let her down.

    Hi, I’m Rep Paul Gossar and when I’m not busy hiring very young men as my aides for some reason I’m elevating avowed white supremacists to create my Twitters, thanks Elon.

    TPM has uncovered an extensive digital trail of interconnected Groyper social media pages using variations of the “ChickenRight” and “Chikken” handles that can be linked to Wade Searle, who works as the digital director for Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), one of the most extreme, far-right members of Congress. ChickenRight’s posting on far-right websites and Searle’s alleged involvement with Fuentes occurred before and after he started working in Gosar’s Capitol Hill office. Gosar, his chief of staff, his press secretary, and Searle have not responded to multiple detailed requests for comment.

    @2 Lookit the Concern Troll’s handwringing over a California state senator who isn’t in Congress, got a misdemeanor DUI, admitted it, and apologized. You’d never see a Republican do that. Admitting and apologizing, I mean.

    Great performance, doc. Now do George Santos. Do Trump. Do all the pardoned GOP criminals like Bannon and Flynn.

    Whatsamatter, don’t you trust voters’ ability to make sound judgments about candidates’ fitness for office? Well, that makes two of us, although I trust Democratic voters way more than I trust Republican voters on that score.

    Plus one conviction for lying to the FBI, and two acquittals.

    The other unserious twat @2 is showing why I fear he’s not long for this blog. He never had much going for himself in the way of mojo, but now his tank seems to be completely empty.

    I blame Durham and Comer. And speaking of having no mojo, it turns out his candidate Ron DeSantis hasn’t any mojo at all.

    I wonder if the other unserious twat has fallen into a hell-hole of depression. If so, I’d advise him to stay away from RealClearPolitics today.

    Now that the “investigation” is pretty much over, it’s time to consider defunding and dismantling the FBI. We should also look at destroying other Deep State criminal agencies.

    I try to be fair, and keep an open and objective mind, but I’m almost in a place where if a woman accuses Trump or Giuliani of something, I’m almost gonna assume it’s true.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/woman-sues-giuliani-lawsuit_n_6462d937e4b018d846bfbfa2

    Especially the allegation that Giuliani “made [her] perform oral sex on him while he was on speaker phone to Trump – because it made him feel like Bill Clinton,” because that sounds just like something he’d do.

    Plus, she has the tapes.

    I can’t explain why so many conservatives are crooks; I only know a lot of them are.

    Three men who “were all active in college conservative politics in Wisconsin about 15 years ago” raised $89 million from small donors” by pitching “building political support for police officers, veterans and firefighters,” but “just 1 percent of the money they raised was used to help candidates via donations, ads or targeted get-out-the-vote messages,” and the rest was used to “pay the fundraisers themselves or other consultants.”

    FOX admits under oath, in sworn statements and sworn legal proceedings that they deliberately tell lies to their viewers.
    Catherine Herridge began her career at FOX, where they eventually assigned her the job of lying to their viewers about Hillary Clinton for ratings.

  45. 45

    None of the news outlets are telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Each outlet has a specific narrative that they promote at the expense of being valid news sources.

  46. 46

    FOX is the only broadcast network and the only U.S. media company that has been compelled to admit in sworn testimony under oath, in sworn responses, and in sworn proceedings that they intentionally lie to their viewers for ratings.

  47. 47

    @46,

    THAT DOESN’T MATTER.

    THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THAT THIRTY YEARS AGO BILL CLINTON ENGAGED IN CONSENSUAL EXTRAMARITAL SEX WITH A WILLING PARTNER.

    FOR THAT REASON IT FOLLOWS THAT ALL VOTERS MUST ADMIT THAT BUSH WON AND THAT ROSS PEROT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, BEG FOR OUR FORGIVENESS, AND PUT REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE FOREVER EVEN IF WE ARE NOW A SHRINKING MINORITY OF VOTERS.

    As an added inducement, Giuliani also offered to provide pro bono legal representation to Ms. Dunphy in connection with an ongoing dispute arising from an abusive ex-partner. To Ms. Dunphy

    A lot of heterosexual fun there….lucky she didn’t die.

    Shit, I wonder what kind of perk it would take to hire Bob’s horse as your personal assistant.

  56. 56

    But Giuliani’s offer came with a significant catch: Giuliani was in the midst of an acrimonious divorce, and he told Ms. Dunphy that her pay would have to be deferred and her
    employment kept “secret” until the divorce proceedings finished. He claimed that his “crazy” exwife and her lawyers were watching his cashflow, and that his ex-wife would “attack” and “retaliate” against any female employee that Giuliani hired. Giuliani promised Ms. Dunphy that his divorce would be resolved “any day now,” and…..

    My God Heterosexual Marriage really is fucked up, bunch of Groomers taken their wives for a ride and then to their death. The Sanctimony of Marriage, taken so serious by the Sanctimonious fakers.

  57. 57

    He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands—which came virtually anytime, anywhere—was an absolute requirement of her employment and of his legal representation. Giuliani began requiring Ms. Dunphy to work at his home and out of hotel rooms, so that she would be at his beck and call. He drank morning, noon, and night, and was frequently intoxicated, and therefore his behavior was always unpredictable.

    What a horendous example of the supramacy of Heterosexuality.

    Beginning on page 294 of the Durham report it concedes that the FBI Cross Fire Hurricane investigation was validly predicated because of the low standard required, as was independently confirmed by OIG, and that it could have been opened under any of several different justifications.

    In the 316 page “factual” Durham report intended to inform DOJ about how an FBI investigation was actually conducted the word “may” appears 226 times, the word “might” appears 55 times, the word “could” appears 153 times, and the word “can” appears 62 times.

    @37 “3M Co 98.55 USD −1.91 (1.90%) today”

    A trivial price to pay for the coming economic debacle that will break the Republican Party and impoverish its donors.

  62. 62

    If Republicans were indeed sincere about budget negotiations relating to their taking the Treasury hostage, then they would be willing to talk about closing tax loopholes and other tax code carve-outs for special interests and Congressional lobbyists.

    Let’s consider a few.

    – Why do home swimming pools qualify for a tax deduction?

    – Why are giant yachts included in the deduction for home mortgage interest?

    – Why is there a carried interest tax deduction for the purchase of private business class jet airplanes?

    – Why is there accelerated depreciation for NASCAR race tracks?

    If Republicans want to protect these loopholes, shouldn’t they at least be willing to explain their reasons?

  63. 63

    Republicans are refusing to discuss closing these or any of the hundreds of thousands of other tax loopholes they created for the wealthy and their donors. But at the same time they are insisting on firing over 100,000 public school teachers and kicking over a million low income seniors off Meals-on-Wheels.

    Gross.

    Trolls and other Republican voters should probably just look away right now.

    First black woman US Attorney, whose confirmation required the first black woman Vice President to twice break a 50-50 Senate tie, resigns in disgrace after little more than a year on the job.

    Lauren Boebert, in her divorce filing, proclaimed she’s “always been faithful.”

    My rotten son spent nearly my entire Mother’s Day harassing the brunch buffet staff and complaining about the bill. But the most humiliating moment came when, after he made a big deal about paying for the whole family, he insisted on trying to use an expired 2 for 1 brunch coupon that specifically excluded Mother’s Day Brunch. He made a terrible scene and I felt so awful that later, after his “new” wife dropped me off, I called the restaurant and gave them my credit card to tip the staff an extra $100.

    Worst Mother’s Day ever.

    If one were to travel by motor vehicle from the furthest Western city in Florida to the nearest town on the Texas/Mexico border it would take approximately 13 hours.

    Sounds like a winner in states like, Minnesota and Pennsylvania and Georgia and Nevada and Wisconsin and North Carolina. Not that it matters. I’ll never be the nominee.

    TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Tuesday he will send state law enforcement officers to the southern border in Texas, a tactical maneuver that will test how far the state will go to help enforce immigration law as the Republican governor prepares to launch a presidential campaign.

    What could go wrong?

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Legislation banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy will become law in North Carolina after the state’s Republican-controlled General Assembly successfully overrode the Democratic governor’s veto late Tuesday.

    The House completed the second and final part of the override vote Tuesday night after a similar three-fifths majority voted for the override earlier Tuesday in the Senate. The outcome represents a major victory for Republican legislative leaders who needed every GOP member on board to enact the law over Gov. Roy Cooper’s opposition.

    Mildly interesting for the obsessive poll watchers.
