Schimel lost the MuskBucks election to Crawford, but Trump rewarded him by making him the Habba US Attorney for WI, appointed, but not legally. Shenanigans and protests persist.

It took me two days of reminding, nagging, and then shameless guilt-inducing, but dammit, my progeny was one of the Dane Cty voters who surpassed statewide turnout by 10%! (And me, too, oc.) Dems in Madison/Dane Cty (Madison and burbs) have started to figure out they can move the needle when they turn out, and that genie isn't going back in the bottle, despite R prayers.

Wisconsin is finished…going the way of Minnesota and Illinois. This is all thanks to the corruption in Madison and Milwaukee.

Chicago619's avatar

Well then that would lead me to the correct conclusion that you are a libtard.

Chris V's avatar

You’re kidding right. They already had the Supreme Court in a deep blue state. Let me know when you win something important.

fuflans's avatar

omg you guys chicago chick went to WI to poll watch. gorgeous (so many 18 year olds with mom coming to register).

it was so quiet, so lovely, so fierce.

talked to 3 other poll watchers. none of us asked who we were with. it was clear.

we're fucking taking back this country.

As a Wisconsin resident, you're all welcome very much. My neighbor, Ryan Shaw, also won his race for Door County Commissioner as a member of the Labor Party.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

They have County Commissioners for doors?

I hope they don't have County Commissioners for furniture. You don't want JD catting around your commissioner meetings.

Brent Leatherman's avatar

We don't want JD around here in any case, all the seagulls and crows follow him around. It's creepy.

Ta, Marcie. More of this, please. Lots more.

Suel J's avatar

Why indeed to magamen aspire to that unfortunate look? (Clay) It's certainly not Trump's dumpy fashion statements. Looksmaxxxing? Check. Scraggly facial hair? Check. Weak appearance. Check.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

They're all trying to look like Don, Jr., because they know he's the favorite son.

Let me point out that the phrase "Take America Back" -- not to the 'Stone Ages', not to 'Leave it Beaver', but to America's founding principles -- belongs to the Left.

OMG, that's a beautiful eagle!!

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Friends have a creek running through the back of their property, and a pair of cranes nested there. A pair of eagles came in, drove the cranes out, and took over their nest.

All I could think was, "How American."

I am sad about Shawn Harris - I guess any district that elected MTG has a lot of ignorant felon lovers still

Hank Napkin's avatar

I am sad about Alaorgia or Georamaba altogether.

Peace Has Broken Out! Well, a cease fire anyway. As you know I'm sure, the Straight beginning

to clear up. All markets and their dogs jumping for joy for it, about +2.5 to 3.0%.

As of now, Earl has dropped $41 a barrel. Will probably drop a little more in the days ahead.

Warning: Dunut Gamble or Invest Without Full Prior Knowledge of Risks!

However.......if I was a Riverboat Gambler with pretty Laydees up my sleeves and ice water in my veins, I would buy oil today. Yes, I know it's down cause everyone is selling.

But Pilgrim, Ah'm a telling ya, sumtimes all ya need is guts. Why buy?

Cause the Unholy Trinity of Bibi, OrangeCon and the Caliphate of Persia will explode a few more times in the next 2 1/2 years. May have to wait til after the Midterms but it will go up like a

Van Diesel car crash. Price already bounced off $115 a day ago. Looking to pop $120 next time.

Or the American people could could lower their demand, buy more electric cars, car pool,

walk, ride a bike or use more public transportation. Keep the price low enough so Soy Beans

look profitable. And Irish won't drink beer on St Patrick's Day either. ☘

This post is one that aged rather well.

OT. Does anyone know what happened to Iran's demand for reparations? I can't see Trump acquiescing.

Kateorite's avatar

2000% tarrifs. That'll show 'em!

Brent Leatherman's avatar

That's gonna fuck up pistachio futures.

Runfastandwin's avatar

I think I read reparations are going to come in the form of $2 million dollar tolls to be split with Oman. Considering 100-120 ships pass through the Strait every day that's, um, at least a hundred million a day? Way more than Iran was getting before which was nothing.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Is this Hormuz toll cover a single entry/exit, or is it $2 million to come in empty and $2 million to leave loaded?

Runfastandwin's avatar

I think it's total although if I'm Iran I'd make it $5 million. One oil tanker holds like $100-200 million worth of oil.

JunkYardDogg's avatar

Shaven Clay Fuller IS a Central Casting benchmark cattlecall for an early ‘40’s Nazi SS trooper look a like role.

And the name ‘Clay’, is that short for ‘Dirt Bag’ ?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

It's a common name in some circles.

LP's avatar

"People of the earth...the common clay...you know, morons"

goCatgo's avatar

Is 'Clay' the male 'Karen' ?

Brent Leatherman's avatar

I think you have to go with that unless proven otherwise.

Runfastandwin's avatar

It's not lower middle class or poor people buying $22 smoothies...

Brent Leatherman's avatar

Sure it is. Where do you think they're getting those huge cups to collect change in?

goCatgo's avatar

I will buy a Hailee Steinfeld Slurpee for $22, but only if she and Baby Hawk get a cut.

Josh can go find his own shit to peddle.

Brent Leatherman's avatar

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm so detached from - I guess - pop culture that I don't understand any reference or name in your post.

goCatgo's avatar

No problemo!

Hailee Steinfeld is an actress married to Josh Allen the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. She was in a Marvel Comics movie with the Hawk. Played a great archer as well as him, fighting the Bad Guys. So Lady Hawk.

She and Josh just had their first kid, a girl. So Baby Hawk. I admit I took liberties here.

A Slurpee is a brand of carbonated, frozen, flavored drink sold exclusively at 7-Eleven convenience stores.

Don't ask what a Buffalo Bill is. No one knows. But they make great chicken wings.

Interesting article but I almost stopped reading when confronted by *intentionality*.

Made up words piss me off.

pskbh's avatar

Absolutiminity.

Pexas Teat's avatar

I didn't coin it, but I used "obstrepory" today. Pretty sure it's not a word, but it fit my grammatical needs perfectly at the moment.

goCatgo's avatar

I don't blamethallity you!

JunkYardDogg's avatar

Never stops me

I make up my own words all the time

Hell, if Sarah Palin can do it, so can The JunkYardDogg

Sometimes, made up words convey much more than any traditional, established words

Michael's avatar

"Intentionality" is a technical term academic philosophers (as I once was) use.

SethTriggs's avatar

Good job fighting Dems. Onward to the next primary elections and beyond, for the big prize. Not every contest will be successful but as long as we compete and most importantly...Voters do the thing...there could well be a tiniest bit of accountability for Maladministration 2.0!

Mount up!

And Don't Give Up The Ship!

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Momentum is a thing in politics. People look at things differently if they sense a directional shift.

Kateorite's avatar

I lurve your pep talks SethTriggs. Eyes on the prize & don't give up the ship! Thank you ; )
