Turnip's vindictive prosecutions are indeed beyond the pale, but I have zero fucks to give about James Comey because that stupid asshole brought it on himself by buttering her email without any justifiable reason right before the election in 2016.

Texas GOP honestly could not have picked someone worse to run for Senate. In any sane state, Paxton would lose by 50 points, and then be thrown in prison, but it's Texas so fuck it
Good test of whether or not Texas is “lost”…if Talarico loses with such a huge advantage, there’s no point campaigning there, and the feds should try to decert them as a state somehow bc cheating fascists from hell.
In December 2025, President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that all documents signed by Biden's autopen — a machine that replicates a signature — were "null, void, and of no further force or effect," explicitly including pardons.
In March 2025, Trump had already targeted pardon recipients directly. "Anyone receiving 'Pardons,' 'Commutations,' or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect," Trump wrote.
"The threats to challenge his pardon — legally baseless IMO — give him cover to assert the Fifth since he can claim there is a potential that he might lose the benefit of the pardon and his testimony might then incriminate him," Shipley wrote on X.
Fauci said in his opening statement he was convinced that Paul's goal was to entrap him, citing Paul's "obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution," Politico reported.
"Sen. Ron Johnson from Wisconsin on Wednesday accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of “sabotaging” the potential use of an animal deworming drug to treat COVID-19. With Fauci declining to answer questions at a Republican-led Senate hearing, Johnson pushed ivermectin as an early treatment for the disease. But Johnson used Wednesday’s show trial to again champion ivermectin, insisting “it works” and hitting the Food and Drug Administration’s “attack” on the drug. “You said there was no evidence. There was all kinds of evidence. Loved ones had to go to hospitals...had to sue hospitals...would you just try it,” said Johnson, appearing to ventriloquize patient frustration. The GOP senator also wanted to know if Fauci had undermined the approval of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine." [HuffPost]
Fauci shows more restraint than me. I would have answered, "Let me know when I get to 450 times invoking my Constitutional rights, like President Trump did in his deposition and maybe I'll answer one."
I think we are looking at an overall D+ 8 and a deflation of R turnout so we may see a lot of flips - hope so!
Someone might want to tell the Boss Dog folks their website is broken.
Yeah i noticed that. I will be talking with them again this weekend and will bring it up.

Weird how the media doesn’t call him a communist.
Trump promotes ‘Freedom Fuel’ stations that sell cheap gas. How they’re able to do so is unclear
https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/business/trump-freedom-fuel-stations
The money's coming from somewhere. I doubt it will last very long.
It didn't. Someone here said last week that it had jumped up close to a dollar overnight. Freedom gas was only for the reds.
And probably subsidized by the rest of us.
Undoubtedly.
Don't let the Epstein Class win through their massive cash dumps. Every PAC is another kiddy diddler afraid of being caught.
Or it is AIPAC rebranded to hide itself...

NPR: Trump shattered ethics norms. Will voters trust Democrats to fix them?

If you squint, you can see that all Jeffrey Dahmer did was to shatter ethics norms.

The only thing that could really improve my day-to-day life is definitely more Congressional investigations of Hunter Biden.
I'm holding out hope they'll jail Dr. Fauci for contempt. That will fix things right up.

Ohio, the punchline to a joke I heard Elmer Fudd tell.
"What's high in the middle and wound on both ends?"
O-HI-O
We can overlook every crime Trump ever committed. But we draw the line at Dr Fauci, a pandemic expert, giving advice during a pandemic.
By the GOP
Herman Cain knew more than Dr. Fauci according to them.
It's galling. Infuriating. Maddening.
Our party should be rushing his defense. But they’re too scared to become a target themselves.

Good for him. I appreciate that but it won’t make it into the court of public opinion. They need to take this fight directly to the Press.

Apparently, men like that.
Ohio voters--got any regrets sending this asshole to the Senate?
Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

Wow, there's an asshole I've never seen in action before (that I remember).
Keep digging flaming asshole.
If they’re republicans, they love that shit.
Water pipe just broke at the hospital.
Shutting down water to about half the departments.
Cool, cool.
Get yer papes and roll a spliff.

In such cases, I like to pack my nostrils and sniff on the arc boxes.

Your wish came true!! All water is back on.
Yeah that was faster than expected. Go facilities team!!
Me too!!
It would be weird to win in Texas and lose a Senate seat in Michigan.
Texas GOP honestly could not have picked someone worse to run for Senate. In any sane state, Paxton would lose by 50 points, and then be thrown in prison, but it's Texas so fuck it

Yeah, the polls don't make me breathe easy at all. It's still Texas, and they voted for all those fascists in the first place.
That’s why I left…too many rednecks in all colors and stripes.

Does that apply to his Jan. 6 pardons?
IOKIYAR and that never applies to Ds.
These people are pure evil.
yes they are
Not sure how he managed it, but ol' Rand is an even bigger, more malodorous piece of shit than his daddy.
Republicans want some scalps before the mid-terms. They don't care about the law.
Or integrity, service, honor, respect, humanity...I could fill a page. We all could.
Seems the crypto/AI mongers may have lost the initiative, over playing their position perhaps.
"Let them eat trickle down" doesn't seem a winning mid-term bumper sticker in the current environment.

I'd have gone with "Let me tell you about my mother..."
He'll have a tough time running for re-election (◔‿◔)
Watch his numbers fall!
The Fed held rates steady again. There had been more suspense than usual.
Too bad someone fucked up economy with knee-jerk wars and tariffs. Then again, it's funny to watch a fat man chase his tail.
But I still get free delivery, right?
