A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
The Daily Beast reports that Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who’s running to replace outgoing Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), will unveil a resolution today seeking to “expunge” the House’s second impeachment of Trump for inciting the Capitol insurrection.
Russian media have gone crazy for Rand Paul lately. He seems to be the top Putinist in the Senate at the moment. Good job, comrade! A seat in the Duma (or at least United Russia) always awaits you.
People died, a government was nearly overthrown, a riot took place. This was televised, millions of people saw it in real time. Take your gaslight somewhere else.
What a maroon!
Let’s raise the profile on the poison of Great Replacement bullshit. The lie needs to be forcefully countered over and over six ways to Sunday.
The attempted rewrite of history could be challenging. Orwell’s instruction manual was too light on pictures to be very helpful for these cretins.
History will record that TFG was impeached twice for excellent cause, and this doofus’ resolution might possibly be a weird footnote.
Trying to expunge the impeachment seems a little cancel culture to me. Hmm.
DemoNrat LibTARds PUsh GreaT rePLACEment to REplace AmeriCAn voTERs with DEMocrat VOTers. LibTARds are PoisonING aMErica!
A Trump cultist feels that deluded mobs without evidence should overturn official sanctions against the head insurrectionist.
If Trump cultists don’t like the way we do things in America, they can get the hell out.
Fuck Trump cultists’ feelings.
Bye, Madison! 
One down!, so Many more to go!
Gag. Needs trigger warning
Inspired by the real “Liberty Tree” that sits on the property of Ron and Carol Paul in Texas, the Liberty Tree website aims to be a place that welcomes the independent thinkers and constitutionalists who have been frustrated by traditional media and social networks.
OMG HAHAHA
MAGA Grifters Whine About Being Grifted By MAGA | Crooks and Liars
By John Amato — May 17, 2022
Convicted felon Dinesh D’Souza, who was pardoned by Trump and his wife are furious that other MAGA cultists are pirating his movie 2000 Mules and aren’t paying for it.
Dinesh had an important issue he wanted to tell MAGAland about.
“The issue of piracy,” he said. “And this is people like, and it’s kind of unbelievable. Literally someone who came to our Mar-a-Lago premiere recorded the movie.”
MarkTwain Mullin (R- Not OK)
- After all, “the Democrats’ weaponization of impeachment against President Trump cannot go unanswered in the history books,” Mullin declared in an email to his GOP colleagues that was obtained by the Daily Beast.
It won’t go unanswered in the history books - the J6 committee report will see to that.
Here’s a quick recap of yesterday’s key primaries in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Idaho:
Except for Mastriano, the virulent right-wing lost pretty much everything, no? And what remains will be defeated in November. So it was a huge win for Democracy. There are more primaries to go, so let’s see how well the extremists do going forward. The momentum is not with them.
The Justice Department has requested the House Jan. 6 committee send transcripts of its interviews with witnesses, including people in Trump’s inner circle, according to the New York Times.
There’s the little issue of separation of powers (between the legislative and executive branches), but I presume that all of this will eventually get shared.
Biden Rips White Supremacy During Buffalo Visit
It’s a shame the speech wasn’t covered here. It was pretty amazing and went a long way. Biden is not just sympathetic, he’s empathetic, as he’s lost loved ones too and understands the community’s loss.
Vermont GOP Guv Running For Reelection In Ghost Town Race
This is happening too much. No one will run because running for office has implications on one’s health and well-being, not just for the election, but even serving in office. I’m betting there are a whole bunch of people that would otherwise run if it wasn’t going to cost them their own life or that of their loved ones.
Usually Trump’s fundraising emails try to berate the recipient into giving him cash, warn the recipient they only have a limited amount of time to give him cash that he’ll match by 600x and demand to know why the recipient hasn’t given him cash yet.
Rarely are they ever this tender:
An indication that, just maybe, his influence might be waning a bit???
Almost seems Musk was in a manic cycle (off meds!?) of Bi-polar disorder and went on a $pree.
Now back on the meds, he is all oh wait, oops…
Yes … that is what they think …
… and they still think it so furiously that they disparage officers who were injured in the line of duty protecting the Capitol building from invasion by these violent psycho insurrectionists…AND they make death threats toward the officers who testified.
T****'s purported choice Mastriano winning is more like “a couple weeks to go, no one can catch him, endorse!”
