I like to refer to it as Bimbo On Bimbo Crime. This will make for a great Twitter fiasco, I’m sure. The gloves are off, and the caps-locks are ON.
You can just go to the zoo and watch a gorilla rape a weasel and nobody would be able to tell the difference.
I've seen Republicans do a lot of pathetic shit in my years, but this is pathetic even by their standards: https://www.axios.com/2023/06/23/greene-stefanik-trump-impeachment-expunge
Those are the exact same bitches who keep insisting that Hunter Biden matters. They are too stupid to be a real concearn.
Stefanik is the third ranking Republican in the conference, behind McCarthy and Scalise. I think it would be a mistake to underestimate just how much the Republicans are all-in on Trump and Jan 6.
I will never understand ( and honestly at this point have given up trying ) why so many people, including the average American Joe, have they lips so firmly wrapped around Trump's cock. I cannot believe that at some point anyone with the IQ of mold doesn't realize what a piece of shit he is and how little he cares about them.
There's a lot of stupid people out there. There are also a lot of uninformed people. I work with a guy, an equipment operator in his mid 20's. He's told me that he hopes Trump gets reelected because everything has gotten so expensive under Biden. He's a good operator; he doesn't make the mistakes that some of the older guys make. He seems like a sharp guy, but I don't think he understands how the American political machine works (I'm still learning). There are two hills that I will die on: 1) If the Democrats had run ANYONE other than Hillary in 2016, Trump wouldn't have happened. 2) If Trump had just sent out "MAGA" masks to everyone in America*, and said "Wear them people, wear them well. It's very important. The virus is.... Blah blah, Trump bullshit..." he would have gotten reelected. *Made in China, of course
That fucking cunt Stefanik happens to be the rep for my district. Dumb rural rednecks up here voted her in after Delgado took the lieutenant governor job and the districts were redrawn in NY which is why the house went R's. She is such a power hungry pick me, I can't stand it. She wanted to run with Buttigieg when he was going to run for president, but instead she switched to backing Trump and turned into a complete piece of shit human being. Not sure if it's coming through your screen or not, but I DESPISE her dumb cunty face.
Recording is out: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/26/politics/trump-classified-documents-audio/index.html Pretty much exactly as the indictment said.
SCOTUS rejected the independent state legislature theory that republicans in my state were trying to push. I'm kinda shocked.
I suspect the fear of reciprocity drove that decision, as much as the implied chaos if it went the other way. The Republicans are outnumbered, by and large, so some of these....initiatives would end up being used against them, with more popular support (numerically popular, at least). This strikes me as a "this couldn't get us 2020 back, but it would be very likely to cost us in 2024 and beyond" kind of thing. Also, "we worked very hard to gerrymander these districts, we can't let the states decide to up-fuck that". From what I've read, this was a fringe case that basically never needed to be ruled on before. It eliminates one of the whacky tactics to overturn the 2020 election, not much else in terms of repercussions.
The theory sprang out of an electoral district redraw by the Republicans that the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled was illegal, forcing a bipartisan redraw. They very much wanted the power to draw maps without any oversight. It may have come back to bite them in the ass at some point, but they didn't care.
Welp, I know there's a lot of mediocres sleeping better tonight, now that they know they won't have to compete anymore.
Well, balls. I’m not surprised…but I’m still clinging onto that hope that I will never be paying back the rest of my loans.
In other SCOTUS news, they ruled in favor of a religious website designer who was asked COMPLETELY FABRICATED A LIE ABOUT BEING ASKED to make a website for a gay wedding. Even by the standards of this court it's pretty absurd (and telling) that they didn't dismiss this one on the grounds of YOU CANT SUE OVER SHIT YOU MADE UP.
