She had plenty before this. She knows how the MAGA grift works and she’s good at it. She’s completely “unlikable” but she knows how to get Arizona’s aging melanoma farms to click and give.
I can think of nothing that could go wrong with have only election deniers working for every candidate in 2024. Almost 32% of voters agree that it was rigged.
That’s quite a remarkable shift there in Alabama. AL-10 is comprised of Most of Madison county which went 53% for Trump in 2020 and was redistricted slightly in 2022. In 2018 it was 54/41 republican. In 2022 it was 52/45.
Last night the loud and proud pro choice Democrat won 62/38.

More than half of Americans — 55 percent — said they disapprove of Israel’s military action in Gaza
So as IDF begins the final phase of its campaign to eliminate Hamas from Gaza, a whole 5% more Americans dislike the campaign than disliked the campaign two months ago:
Finish them, Bibi. The incremental consequences are miniscule, and the American president next year will be a Republican.

@ 7
That’s quite a remarkable shift there in Alabama.
From the Tuesday night DL thread @ 5:
The remarkable shift in Alabama yesterday was the miniscule turnout of 1.85% in that special election distric. Contrast that to the 2020 general election, in which voter turnout in Alabama was 63%.
I suspect the 2024 AL turnout will be even higher after four years of particularly awful corruption and incompetence in the White House. Any hopes that this district will still vote blue in November are unserious.
When you gotta lie to make yourself feel better.
According the the Alabama SoS AL-10 has 41,016 registered voters.

@ 14
Yours is the same link as my link last night.
An update/correction has occurred since my spew. Instead of a single probate judge providing info, apparently a larger number of people were involved in providing the current numbers.
Three takeaways:
1. I did not lie.
2. I acknowledge the corrected data.
3. Even with the corrected data, only a very small percent of registered voters turned out last night, and roughly 4.5x that percentage will turn out to cast their vote in November.
Last night was turnout dominated by partisan liberals. November turnout in the district in question will be dominated by Trump supporters.
Watch this seat flip back in November.

11th case of measles reported in Florida
Measles cases in 3 other states linked to travel to Florida, reports say
https://www.clickorlando.com/news/florida/2024/03/25/11th-case-of-measles-reported-in-florida/
The CDC says the following states have reported cases of measles this year as of March 21, 2024: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.
Florida was first with 10 cases as of March 12, nine linked to an elementary school in Broward County and one in Polk County, according to data from the Florida Department of Health.
Illinois has reported the most measles cases in recent weeks, with 17 total infections reported in Chicago.
Out of the 58 cases which were reported by mid-March, the CDC says 93% have been linked to exposures to the virus during international travel.
Hey, why won’t my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president permit Ukraine to take out Russia’s energy infrastructure, HA libbies?

“Landlord Lives Matter, oh brother.”
So it’s okay for a renter who owes $45,000 in unpaid back rent to stay in the property, paying no rent? How would you like to be that landlord?
Okay, so maybe the landlord in this case is a multimillionaire, and that’s a business risk he willingly assumed. (We don’t know that for sure.) Even if, do deep pockets justify a nonpaying tenant who won’t leave?
More broadly, there are nightmare landlords, but also nightmare tenants (not to mention squatters who lawlessly take over properties), and our laws should tolerate neither.
Looking at the bigger picture, and knowing how the scales of landlord-tenant law balance, I would never be a landlord in this state.

Seriously, this gal must be living on speaking fees, or (knowing how Republicans operate) siphoning campaign funds. It’s been several years since she’s had any visible means of support.
Re Upping the same previously mocked and easily discarded metric as before only goes to show clearly how Trump The Rapist has trained them all to ignore facts and evidence whenever it conflicts with the projected MAGA image.
For months this silly lying idiot troll has been parading one modeled sample of 900 to 1,200 imaginary voters responding to various squishy questions as ABSOLUTE PROOF that by next year Donald Trump will have become the new Supreme Leader and Hillary will finally face her long anticipated frog-march of shame.
But the instant he is faced with an actual election result with five times that number of actual for-realsies voters he can only respond by rejecting it out of hand offering no actual argument even for how or why those actual voters are somehow not representative of the population.
Of course there is an argument to be made here. Special election turnout is often smaller and often skewed. But at this point the increasingly shitty troll is simply too brainwashed with MAGA foolishness to even get to it. Some exit polling analysis of this population of special election voters would certainly come in handy in support of such an argument. But not for a brain-fucked MAGA true believer.
He doesn’t even get that we have been laughing at him this whole time.

The incident portrays the struggle between efforts to combat climate change and extreme weather events that global warming is predicted to increase the frequency and severity of. Droughts linked to climate change have previously led to a reduction of hydropower capacity in California, while a winter storm in Texas in 2021 crippled its power grid. Fossil fuel production in the state was also impacted by a cold snap being pushed farther south than usual in 2022.

The DEI whiners are example of “when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” people.
@80 One of the downsides to democracy is that literally anybody can be elected to public office, and low-education voters tend to elect politicians just like themselves.
This particular specimen graduated from a Catholic high school in the Detroit area, and has no higher education that I can find. He’s touted as a “businessman,” which in practice means he owns a bail bond company.
His most prominent (and creative) legislative contribution consists of introducing a bill that would require fact-checkers to register with the state and post a surety bond.
His wife is a former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party and is one of the 16 Michigan Republicans indicted in the fake electors scheme. A helpful witness for the prosecution (not intentionally), she “publicly bragged about the Trump campaign’s involvement in the fake elector scheme.”
Given this background, it’s not surprising that he jumped to the conclusion that a mostly-white basketball team were “illegal invaders” from south of the border. The real lesson here is he’s an all-too-typical example of what the GOP’s candidate recruitment has descended to. Respectable people don’t run as GOP candidates anymore, so they scrape the bottom of the barrel and come up with people like this guy.

The bridge is in Maryland, which is a blue state. Repair the bridge? Fuck no! say Republicans.
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4562537-battle-heats-up-over-proposed-federal-funding-for-baltimore-bridge/
Except the bridge was hit by a ship, and maritime trade is a federal matter. Navigable waterways? A federal matter. It certainly appears federally-controlled activity is responsible for the bridge collapse. So why shouldn’t the federal government be responsible for a bridge over a federal waterway hit by a federally regulated ship?
Because Republicans have zero understanding of federalism and the division of responsibilities between the federal government and states, that’s why. When farm states send farmers who don’t know beans about anything except beans to Congress, that’s what you go. Also, I don’t think they teach basic civics in red state schools, as far as I can determine; that’s been replaced by Bible classes.

Please repeat after me:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FEDERAL PAROLE. THERE ARE NO FEDERAL PAROLE BOARDS AND NO FEDERAL PAROLE OFFICERS.
Don’t be a useless dipshit. We have enough Republicans already spreading bullshit.
In addition to the calculated and imposed sentence handed down today by Judge Kaplan there is an automatic subsequent motion hearing afforded where the defendant may argue sentencing factors to be applied after judicial sentencing. But just as with all the factors already argued previously and used in determining the defendant’s judicial sentence, these additional factors are formulaic within a narrow range set forth in statute by Congress.
And of course as any defendant does post sentencing, the defendant here may also file a federal appeal of his sentence to be heard before the 9th Circuit.
Sentence appeals are very expensive. But they are also unpredictable and complex. And this piece of shit defendant has money and connections possibly willing to help him. If he can come up with the money, if he can find excellent lawyers willing to handle his appeal, and if Kaplan and BOP made errors in how they calculated sentence, he might see some real time taken off his sentence. But that’s a long shot. And we won’t know how that turns out for years, by which time we won’t care.
Finally, this defendant has already been in prison since August of last year over his efforts to tamper with witnesses. And that time already served in custody will be calculated into the determination of his actual release date by the BOP.
@93
It’s an interstate highway. I imagine a House Representative who is unaware of how that has always been funded has zero business being in Congress but what does the GOP care about qualifications and experience.

Remember “shirt collar laundry”?
He ought to. Sounds about old enough.
Before they invented automatic machinery to wash clothes laundry was so laborious and expensive that business types would only wash the collars and cuffs after each wearing. The rest of the shirt had to go for days.
My very first 2BR/1BA house was built in 1937 and contained exactly 25 square feet of closet space. The original owner had one good suit, one “older” suit, and one suit that he wore doing yardwork.
Things change. Life moves on. Today people throw clothing away rather than wash it. Everyone has laundry machines in their own homes. Some have multiple sets. And mountains of shirts pants, shorts, workout gear, special costumes for bike riding, tennis, fishing, partying, going to kid’s soccer, pride parades, Halloween, Christmas sweaters, etc. Clothes are cheap. Laundry is cheap. We are all Imelda Marcos.
And still nobody is “fucked”.
Because we have an inexhaustible capacity to invent new ways of spending money and new ways of employing people. There is plenty to go around.
I actually like Eugene Robinson but this is a stupid column.
It is abundantly clear and has been for decades that the American Evangelical movement is not remotely concerned with the text of the bible, see “prosperity gospel.”
This is a showoff item for anyone who buys it. I have a copy of Infinite Jest on my bookshelf. I’ve tried to read it a couple times and give up. I have a shit ton of books that I picked up when my grandparents died because they’re old and really nice binding from when publishing books was a handcrafted thing. Haven’t read them except I have read The Secret Garden and I own the first American print edition from 1911. Visiting it with my kids it is a remarkably racist book in the first chapter. 99% of the people who own War and Peace have the intention of reading it one day and 98% of those will die before they do. The people who say they’ve read it, 96% of them are lying.
No one intends to read this thing. They’re going to put in on the shelf face out so their MAGA friends can be impressed. There is no intention of reading it. That’s what the paperback New American Bible is for and they haven’t read that either. They may have read that English Standard Version that was very specifically created to put the uppity women back in their place.

The top donor to the Make America Great Again, Inc. super PAC supporting Donald Trump for president in 2024 is also the top donor to the American Values PAC super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president.
Perhaps I looked it up and so can you should look up Sharron Angle.
And while he’s at it, Todd Akin. I mean, it’s not like Democrats were subtle about what they did in his case:

@108 There’s no depth of depravity and dishonesty Republicans won’t stoop to.
@109 Everyone in Virginia now understands (or should) that Youngkin isn’t the “moderate” he sold himself to voters as. He’s embraced every GOP extreme position.
“Why isn’t Biden trying to earn our votes that we’ll never give him no matter what?” – Republicans
Judges need to stop mealy-mouthing, hold this sovereign citizen in contempt, and throw his ass in jail. It’s time to show him the law is bigger than he is.

This guy lost a GOP seat by being a nutcase. Now he’s back as an even bigger nutcase. Looks like that seat may stay blue for another two years.
@118 Well that will get him thrown out of the GOP, won’t it? Unless he makes up for it with abortion and book bans as penance.

The bridge collapsed because it was hit by a poorly maintained boat, owned by a company that punishes whistleblowers.
The media is focusing so much the bridge design instead of the corporate greed that has rust buckets sailing the ocean

Boy I am sure glad off of trump’s deregulations didn’t have an adverse effect on our country’s infrastructure, transportation and emergency protocols.

Let’s look at some OTHER moderate postions Youngkin has taken.
“Virginia Gov. Youngkin eyes a 15-week abortion ban as a ‘consensus’ voters would back”
“Let me be clear, I believe in the fundamental Right to Work. If anyone tries to bring me a bill that creates forced unionization, it will meet the business end of my veto pen.”
“Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 157 which
removes the farmworker exemption from the Virginia Minimum Wage Act.” Yep, it’s OK to pay farm workers (illegals?) lower than minimum wage.
“Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 974, which
allows certain evidence for specific injuries arising from employment related to workers’
compensation. ” Injured at work….fuck off.
“Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto Senate Bill 696, which
requires a mandatory hearing to review reducing sentences for individuals currently incarcerated
or on community supervision for felony marijuana convictions.” Youngkin goes on to spout about the horrible unfairness of violent criminals and murders getting out of jail early when this bill SPECIFICALLY states convicts whose only conviction is for a non-violent felony possession.
“Virginia is closer to withdrawing from a regional carbon market at the end of the year following Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s completion of a review of new regulations aimed at removing the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.”
All in for the conviceted rapist too/
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) endorsed Donald Trump for president Wednesday night, posting a message on the social media site X calling the former president the best choice for “strong leadership.”
“Voters in the Commonwealth and across the country have spoken loudly for President Donald J. Trump and I endorse him for President of the United States,”
@122 You’re the bullshitter. Youngkin is an extremist, and #123 shoves the facts of that matter up your ass. Deservedly, I should add.
@118 Shorter Greedy racist incel. “Sure he raped those girls but he used a condom. That proves he’s a moderate and just wants to protect children. “
NOT GUILTY!! A Texas appeals court exonerated Crystal Mason of voting fraud yesterday by throwing out her conviction.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-woman-sentenced-to-5-years-for-voting-error-finally-acquitted_n_6606e138e4b0f16f4a31d504
It’s undisputed that Mason was ineligible to vote in the 2016 election. But she didn’t know that, and a poll worker told her she could cast a provisional ballot, which wasn’t counted. Despite that she was sentenced to 5 years in prison for Voting While Black. Why it took Texas courts 6 years to set this atrocity straight is a mystery, and Texas being TexAss, I didn’t really expect this outcome, but the state that elects the likes of Ted Crud, Greg Abbott, and Ken Paxton finally did something right.
OK, my bullshit claim about Youngkin was bullshit.
Now do “cosplaying grandmothers”.
@ 123
Let’s look at some OTHER moderate postions Youngkin has taken.
“Virginia Gov. Youngkin eyes a 15-week abortion ban as a ‘consensus’ voters would back”
Those of you begging for Roe v. Wade to be codified? That’s what you’d get, essentially. Abortion until week 15 or so. That is a moderate position.
@128 You said, “That is a moderate position.” Really?
https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2022/10/07/1127431476/explaining-the-difference-between-15-and-24-weeks
As a doctor, you shouldn’t need that explained to you.
@128
There’s a reason the right is always bleating about “Late Term” abortion but not “Late Terms.”
VA law, as is the law in many states allows abortion up to the third Trimester. That’s about 26 weeks. That’s also known as the ‘fetal viability standard’. Regionally, Ohio, Deleware, Pennsylvania set the same standard. in the region West Virginia Kentucky and Tennessee have enacted a complete ban and North Carolina until it goes full blue in 2024 has a 12 week standard.
Nice try.
Trump seems to be adopting a strategy that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin deployed unsuccessfully last year during his state’s legislative elections. Youngkin got several GOP candidates to support a 15-week abortion ban, thinking such a ban would serve as a consensus option that Virginia voters would find reasonable.
But he was wrong. Very wrong.
When all was said and done, Virginia Democrats held the state Senate and flipped the House of Delegates in their favor, dashing Youngkin’s hopes of imposing a decidedly conservative agenda. And with their anti-abortion extremism, Republicans may be headed toward a similar scenario at the national level.

What do WOMEN think is the appropriate number of weeks and under what conditions? Because that’s all that really matters. When men can get pregnant, then they can have a say on abortion restrictions.
Women vote. And they are not voting for republicans.
Because you fired the woman WE just fired we’re going to restrict your access to our convention.
@132 I’m not seeing the downside. It’s not like it’s going hurt NBC’s ratings. The RNC audience don’t watch NBC in the first place. The people who do still watch NBC will appreciate the drop in Right Wing and Russian Propaganda.
