By trying to resurrect her defunct political future, Kristi Noem buried it even deeper on a weekend talk show. She is an extremely trenchant example of something most self-styled conservatives suffer from: she never knows when to shut the fuck up:

You knew the GOP and particularly Trump would have to spin this as an anti-Conservative agenda arrest. It hulls the GOP politicized DOJ below the waterline. Still does, Cuellar may not have been %100 behind every Democratic issue, but he was at least a reliable vote for Speaker and other issues. Additionally this is could be spun as “Anti-latin prosecution” so the GOP has to work hard to pretend this isn’t what it is, a solid prosecution, to protect Trump.

My brother just sent me a tweet written by Joe Kahn at the NYT, and I can’t believe what I was reading. Anyone see that? People are ripping him a new one, apparently.

It’s certainly the party of “grab-them-by-the-pussy”, which can certainly lead to fertilization.

So I suppose orange guy is going to make Cuellar the head of Homeland Security in his administration?

In fact, I think orange guy should go all out with money-laundering and bribe-accepting folks. The cabinet can consist of James Traficant, William Jefferson, George Santos, Duke Cunningham, Robert Menendez, and – because orange guy can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction – the late Sen. Pat Geary of Nevada (even though he received “nothing” from the Corleone clan).

Reading the nbc news live updates. They are reporting that Trump org. is paying his legal costs. Sounds like that happens a lot. Prosecutors must be asking all the witnesses about who is paying their legal fees?

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) says he would support ditching the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade .

I love having Mark Kelly as my Senator. I’m really going to love it when Ruben Gallego kicks Kari Lake’s butt, and Arizona ends up with two Democrats in the Senate.

He has a Contempt Rewards card. A blind justice adds a punch every time he breaks the law without any significant consequences.

If Trump wins and Tim Scott is tapped like an Evangelical Christian keg of Jesus juice for the VP slot, he’ll have to put his testicles, penis, and prostate in a lock box for the next four years at least, if in fact he hasn’t already had a voluntary prophylactic castration and prostatectomy.

Carrying out a full-scale tactical nuclear weapons drill is just about indistinguishable in appearance (via satellite reconnaissance, etc.) from actual preparations to engage in nuclear strikes. Yet more evidence that Putin is the peace-loving statesman that Vance, Hawley, Greene, et al., support.
