A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Georgia GOP gubernatorial hopeful David Perdue insisted on Tuesday that when he gave a thumbs up at his supporters chanting “lock him up!” about incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) at a rally on Saturday, he “misunderstood” what they were saying.
No, actually! It was a bit of a downer!
Misheard? What no “I was taken out of context”?
Great start there Perdue lying straight out of the gate.
So Spineless Susan decides to vote for Jackson after Manchin already insured her confirmation. It would have made a bigger splash if you’d said this before Manchin, but that’s not your style, right?
Trump’s not a partner for Russia, he’s a comrade. He’s one of them.
Perdue is a crap candidate. As Dems we’d never support Kemp for any office, but he’s also not an insider trading POS. By and large, Kemp comes off as a fairly like-able middle age dad/business owner type. The guy who wouldn’t gouge you on price or use substandard materials (Ala Trump). I’m not saying that’s who Kemp is, I’m saying that as someone who lives in GA, that’s the air about him.
Add to that the fact that he stood up to Trump but also hasn’t made a show of it, it’s come off more of him being his own person and having principles (again, comes off as - appearance to Rep voters). Meanwhile, Perdue is a very wealthy man with all the advantages in the world and he’s still a very public boot licker. It’s gross to both sides of the aisle.
She’s still a Republican, and the people of Maine are still at fault for re-electing her.
The Trump Putin request means (to those who need help on this) that the magnificent work that Biden is doing with Europe, the EU and NATO goes out the window in less than three years.
I had blissfully forgotten about the existence of Mick Mulvaney and his slappable face.
Putin’s BS is more believable than this dreck.
Bad cell signal … created confusion.
Repubs are always making excuses and splainin’! This from the party of “personal responsibility.” Bwahahaha!
Collins is now merely reacting to the onslaught of those who accused her of having a “furrowed brow” when opining on issues of concern to her…
Not really, just changes the alliance back to the old way, where we team up with putin and the Soviets and go kick some German ass.

It’s like every morning your optimism gets up and comes down to have breakfast with the family and the morning memo gets up from its own seat and hits your optimism right in the mouth. And this is just the morning routine, you know? Everyone goes back to pouring syrup and so forth.
That work must be being seen as having even more effective results than we imagine … because this is a bizarre frantic hysterical & desperate response by Trump.
Almost as if Trump is just a couple of critical revelations away from being totally exposed as a fully documented “made-man” in the Russian oligarchs mafia… and the entirety of the Trump organization being subject to seizure.
More than that, he is Putin’s slave. He is certainly not any kind of an American, when it comes to Vlad’s every wish.
No, this was after MoscowMitch told her it was ok.
