A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
On Thursday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) defended his independent expenditures spending half a million dollars to support far-right Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers (R), who cozies up to white nationalists and spews white nationalist talking points, in the 2020 election against her Democratic opponent.
I have been surprised that the GOP seems to feel increasingly comfortable with becoming an openly White nationalist party. However, if America is going to become a ‘majority minority’ country, and you don’t have any policies that appeal to minorities, I suppose there is no other option.
Accomplishments? Please proceed.
no time like the present. Big shiny thing over in Ukraine doing much worse things to distract attention.
Chinese state media is reporting that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to open negotiations for peace, during a conversation with President Xi Jinping
Hua Chunying is a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry.

And this is the guy W was trying quietly to recruit to run for senate opposite Kelly. Bush has been shamefully quiet about the Putin wing of his party, and has soft-pedaled his own condemnations of Putin’s “hi-jinx.”
Well there you have it. A White Nationalist is preferable to a generic Democrat. No wonder America is on the verge of falling into a very ugly hole. Notice that treating gay people like shit is now a Florida evagenlical white peoples rights initiative. The Republican party has truly lost its way. Lincoln should be spinning in his grave.
- Oh, “and she’s still better than her opponent, Felicia French,” the Republican governor said.
Good morning, all! This is your daily reminder that the governor saying at least the white nationalist isn’t a Democrat is one of the all wingnuts who get absolutely hopping mad if you suggest they’re being racists.
BeCAUSe we ARE all WHITE, RACE traitor!
The Magat response is invariably:
“Not racist! Not racist! You’re the racist!”
These are the Federal charges. They haven’t yet been tried on the State charges, so this isn’t over yet.
Courthouse where this was prosecuted is a couple of blocks away from Dear Hubby’s workplace. Apparently, all the protests never really happened, but it shouldn’t happen now since the jury found for guilty.
These charges were violations of civil rights and not stopping Chauvin when he started. Pretty much all on the video, so not much debate.
Standard Republican shift.
We didn’t do it
Even if we did do it, everybody is doing it
Even if we did do it, it isn’t illegal
Even if it isn’t legal, it isn’t illegal
We did it, we’re evil, but that is what Real Americans want.
Tom Norton, a Trump-endorsed Republican primary challenger to Rep. John Moolenaar (R-MI), refuses to file his personal financial disclosures as mandated by federal law.
Because goopers are above the stinkin’ law. The orange abomination has shown them the way.
Xi is, if nothing, a master of understatement.
Consistent with the t-shirts back in the 2020 election - better Russian than a Democrat.
None of these MAGAts want anything to do with being a traditional American, so why not just get the hell out, already and find their own little paradise, rather than torturing the rest of us? Better yet - let’s send these morons’ kids to fight for Putin - the guy could use some fresh cannon fodder.
You haven’t seen my photo Eustace…

"The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting."
OK you two, here’s your chance to prove your love for Mother Russia, go sign up to fight.
