GOPers by their votes show they prefer liars and by their obedience to their liar-in-chief.
willie shakespeare must have known well folks like the former guy to have written in all’s well that ends well:
He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister: for rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus: he professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules: he will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool … I have but little more to say, sir, of his honesty: he has every thing that an honest man should not have; what an honest man should have, he has nothing.
DOJ’s latest move indicates evolution not devolution from the dark days of the former guy’s rule:
Florida Republicans intentionally targeted Black voters when they enacted new voting restrictions last year, the justice department said in a court filing on Wednesday.
The department told a federal appellate court that a lower court had correctly evaluated claims of racial discrimination when it came to Florida’s new law. In March, US District Judge Mark Walker blocked new restrictions on the availability of absentee ballot drop boxes, regulations for third party voter registration groups, and a ban on providing food and water to people standing in line to vote. The US court of appeals for the 11th circuit paused that ruling earlier this year while it considers an appeal from Florida officials.
The justice department’s allegation of racial discrimination is significant because the agency carefully chooses when to get involved in voting dispute litigations filed by private plaintiffs, and the department’s voice carries significant credibility in court. After going largely quiet under Donald Trump, the justice department’s voting section has filed challenges to voting laws in Georgia, Texas and Arizona, in addition to filing several briefs in other voting disputes.

So now Ron Johnson, one of the 3 top candidates for dumbest member of the US Senate is 7 points behind in his race to retain his seat. Good for Wisconsin.Â
There is one thing that the primary season has done, okay one of many, the dumbest man in Congress decided to give up his seat in the House of Representatives to run for Texas AG, nobody wanted him in that seat either. Louise Gohmert is to be no more.
And so gohmert will cast no more asparagus. i cant say what i think of him. Â
Grassley on FOX demonizing IRS: “Are they going to have a strike force that goes in with AK-15s already loaded, ready to shoot some small business person in Iowa with these, because I think they’re going after middle class and small business people, because they think that anybody that has pass-through income is a crook, and they aren’t paying their fair share, and we’re going to go after them”
gohmert is an idiot… glad he’s gone.
grassely is an old white man who’s drank the koolaid… Â he should be gone.
patd… nice cartoons today…
yup… Â and also boneless…
MCCONNELL in KY asked for his midterm projections: “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
That’s Mitch’s Masonic tongues for blaming Trump
And I thought AKs were 47s and ARs were 15s. Who knew AKs are 15s?
Grassley, old and addled and smart as a post.
Hah! Casting asparagus – haven’t heard that one in ages. Love it.
What McConnell is seeing in the cards:
Newest Randy Rainbow
Another Herschel Walker gem: “If man came from apes why are there still apes?”
Hey everyone! I was up north yesterday at the Cherry Republic store/complex in Glen Arbor, Michigan. They had the courtyard area roped off last night for some political rally. I was wondering who might be the guest speaker, since there seems to quite a large amount of crazy Republican candidates running for office this year. As it turns out, the guest speaker was the current Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat. I didn’t listen to a lot of her speech, but she started it out by telling everyone what a crack pot the Republican guy who’s running against her is.
Poobah, you don’t get Herschel’s wisdom?  Think about it.Â
Whelp, DuhSantis has out-stoopided Greg Abutt with this move. Race to the bottom, guys.
“We’re a big pension system,” DeSantis said, “and some of these businesses are going to have to choose between going down the ESG rabbit hole or being able to be invested with the state of Florida.”
“DeSantis has criticized financial institutions and corporate executives for considering factors like systemic racism and economic inequality when making business decisions, a practice known as environmental, social and governance, or ESG…”
“The financial industry is the latest to attract the attention of DeSantis, a potential presidential candidate in 2024, for supporting what he considers “woke ideology.” He previously targeted Disney for opposing a bill that banned the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to young kids. He championed a new law that limits how businesses train their employees on topics like race and privilege. He also signed legislation that requires state universities to administer campuswide ideological surveys intended to snuff out bias against conservative viewpoints.”
“DeSantis has been hinting at plans to challenge Wall Street since at least May. DeSantis addressed the Florida Bankers Association in Tampa that month, where he took shots at New York banks that he accused of using their financial power to advance policy, two attendees told CNN. DeSantis ripped financial institutions that wouldn’t do business with gun manufacturers and specifically called out JPMorgan Chase, which had a table of representatives at the event.”
An asteroid took out the dinosaurs; hateful, shortsighted ~thinking~ will take out what remains of the Republican Party.
