A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who baselessly claimed the 2020 election was “stolen” from Trump and who’s been appointed to lead the Wisconsin GOP’s Arizona-inspired review of the election results, is remarkably candid about his credentials.
- The final details are still being hammered out amid vigorous debate over whether this was a McConnell cave or merely setting Democrats up for more headaches down the road.
Yes. Both are true and correct. No false binary either/or choice necessary.
So Meth Lindell has competition for election knowledge buffoonery?
But definitely, positively not a cult.
Q: What price stupidity?
A: $676,000.
OT:
Today is the deadline for Mark Meadows and others to comply with the Jan 6 Commission’s subpoenas.
Just gonna leave this here.
“Republicans made Susan McDougal serve 18 months in prison for defying a subpoena.”
NOBOdy knoWs how ELEctions WOrk. ThaT’s wHY we NEEd more REstrictive VOTING to GET more QUALity voTEs and GEt rid OF the TAInted voteS from certaiN urbaN areaS.
You can throw in another 676,000 lives too. Stupid isn’t free.
Murica today…you don’t need to understand,say factual things or make sense…just say bullshit loud and repeatedly and be able to withstand gales of laughter…
Yes, this was absolutely a win for Democrats who have been firm in their stance.
So it’s been surprising to hear from some on our side who feel that McConnell won this round, that he will tie us up for the next two months and steal our momentum.
And I remember a similar situation a decade ago that might apply here.
After the Democrats lost the 2010 midterms, President Obama made a deal on the Bush tax cuts and extended them for two years. He got the Republicans to agree to extend the payroll tax cut and supplemental unemployment insurance, but only for one year. Many progressives howled that Obama caved, he’s weak, etc.
But in autumn of 2011, when talks began to extend the UI, and Republicans balked and demanded payfors that would hit other Dem priorities, they got hit with backlash when it was pointed out that they had made no effort to pay for the Bush tax cuts extension— it all went on the deficit. They caved and agreed to extend the program for a few months to give them time to deal with its budgetary impact.
Then in early 2012, when talks began to extend the UI again, Republicans again resorted to the deficit hawk arguments — how are we going to pay for all this? — and, this now being an election year, they got slammed even harder, and agreed to extend it for the remainder of the year without any concessions from the Dems.
It could happen again, if we position ourselves for a win.
With those qualifications he should have risen to the very top of the Trump Administration.
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) office told Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) staff that the Vermont senator wouldn’t sign Democrats’ joint condemnation of the protests against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) unless it included the language, “While we hope Senator Sinema will change her position on prescription drug reform and support a major [budget] reconciliation bill …”
Why the fuck should Democratic Senators condemn protestors expressing themselves to their Senator? If they broke laws, let the local LEOs deal with that. Clearly, the protestors got her attention, which is a hell of a lot more than the Senate has done.
Say bullshit, say bullshit. But do not bullshit too boldly amongst the wise.
It may not be as willfully stupid as it struck me when I first read it. I think it definitely appeals to the low information types: even a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice is confused. The laws are so complicated that even he can’t understand them! No wonder the Dems can steal elections so easily! This proves that [ridiculous conspiracy theory of the day] is true!
They’ve been weaponizing ignorance for years now. Finally they’ve decided to raise it to an overt strategy. The new “Know Nothing” party.

So just an garden variety Republican, then?
Not knowing how to do something has never stopped the GOP from going ahead anyway.
Who coulda thunk?
Yeah, I’m with Bernie on this. These a-holes need to hear from someone other than their lobbyists.
Yes. It’s been awhile but I do remember her! Dems have got to stop taking the losing side in the asymmetrical warfare being waged with the current GOP. Deference and restraint works well when dealing with opponents who operate in good faith: not so much with Orcs and Trolls…
