I have to go to the actual work cave for 3 hours this afternoon. Maybe by the time I return, the DC Circuit will have dropped the decision on Trump's immunity claims, and we can all point and laugh.

OT: How stupid do you have to be to let KKKari Lake record you trying to pay her off to sit out politics for 2 years, Mr. Arizona GOP chair???

I would take this with a grain of salt. The Hill, a notorious right-wing "insider" rag, is quoting a Daily Mail (one of many right wing British tabloids) article that "purports" the AZ GOP leader offering a bribe to Lake.

I mean, it ain't the usual "story planted in Murdoch British tabloid, picked up by the NY Post, then quoted on FOX 'News' so the MSM has to cover it now" kind of bullshit, but I'm still a little skeptical.

I don't *believe* anything "The Hill" publishes. But I'm always delighted by anything posted that reflects badly on Republicans and the Republican Party. A "taste of their own medicine"...

"On April 23, 2018, the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs postponed a hearing on Rear Admiral Jackson's nomination after current and former White House medical staff accused him of creating a hostile work environment, excessive drinking on the job, and dispensing medication improperly. Senator Jon Tester told CNN on April 24 that Jackson was known as "the candy man" at the White House, according to around 20 people who brought these concerns to the Veterans' Affairs Senate Committee, because he allegedly handed out Ambien, Provigil, and other prescription drugs "like they were candy"."

These dipshits in the WHPC need to be escorted to a seat and required to watch the difference between the way President Biden handles disruptive protests and how Trump has them handled.

I have Thoughts and Opinions on how even a speech about women’s rights, hell, our very lives, ends up subordinate to certain progressive’s agendas, but like my President, I support people making their voices heard.

Brad Todd, dipshit Republican strategist, said the reason that Republicans are losing on abortion is because they aren't spending enough money on advertising to share their views on abortion. Way to threaten me with a good time! Yes, please, Brad, PLEASE let the little ladies know how you want your religion in their uteruses. I'm sure once you explain your position a little bit more, those suburban moms will fall all over themselves to vote for you.

Claiming expenses would imperil future security measures is a pretty neat take, if you can get away with it.
