A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Ex-Georgia Sen. David Perdue’s gubernatorial campaign is facing a total bloodbath on Tuesday, but Trump isn’t really interested in rescuing his endorsee, who the ex-president believes isn’t trying hard enough to defeat incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R), per NBC News.
Shocking! NOT! Water is wet. Yada, yada, yada!

Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis argued on Thursday that the United States is a “Judeo-Christian nation” and should abide by the “limits” God puts on women by banning federal abortion rights.
Boebert’s Republican opponent, Don Coram, spoke at a recent pro-choice rally in Denver.
And she rebuffed him. Meaning he was a rocket man, burning out his fuse up there alone.
That was no tour. It was a complete coincidence that that group of people and I happened to be at the same location. I can’t help it if they were following me. I think Soros must have paid them.
Loser Trump is worrying about supporting losers?
I’m always a bit relieved, I suppose I’d say, to find he can still shock me, but I was a little shocked that he’d suggest trying and executing some nice lady for treason over this election stuff. He would always say anyone who didn’t do what he wanted was committing treason, and hint darkly at the punishment, but directly suggesting it is pretty wow. I know there won’t be any outcry or so forth, it’s all just well whattaya gonna do he says a lot of stuff, but that’s pretty sick. If you never have yet, look up “malignant narcissist.” They really aren’t nice people.
Any respectable candidates should run and hide from a future Trump endorsement.
Like Trump’s past business associates, wives and political allies, he’ll dump you in a New York minute.
It helped that freak Mastriano, because the regular party leaders weren’t exactly waving him home like a third-base coach. But Youngkin kept him at arm’s length, and it’s really not the overwhelming thing in all cases that some would imagine.
In the “normal” world, someone stating such a threat, as seriously as Trump did apparently, would result in a “terroristic threats” charge by local police.
A New York second is the time between a traffic light turning green and the first horn honk. A New York minute is an approximate derivative of a Scaramouche that would allow some deliberation of an idea that tfg is incapable of. America’s favorite Malignant Narcissist™ flips a switch from one extreme to another.
Happy to see Musk crashing and burning.
Claiming to be the victim of a political hit-job, when he isn’t even in politics?
Lame.
I guess you don’t need much imagination to become CEO of Dollar General, but David Perdue’s campaign theme of “Trump was robbed” was not going to cut it. I still wish that the Trumptards stay home in November rather than voting for the RINO Kemp.
He’s also a hemp farmer that supports legalization of marijuana and LGBTQ rights.
O/T more greed
Retailers warn of Visa, Mastercard fee hike (nbc12.com)
Some retailers say the increased fees will force them to raise prices on consumers or stop accepting certain credit cards.
Visa and Mastercard claim the fees help pay for reward programs and banking services, and to guarantee payment in case of customer overdraft or fraud.
I’d throw in a psych eval.
