“* Ooops : Ted Cruz confused his potential 2024 opponent, Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), with another black man: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg:”

Very possible that Allred will be Ted’s biggest nightmare. A former NFLer, who has a brain, and showed real courage under pressure.

In Raphael’s defense, they both look like someone who wouldn’t flee to Cancun while his constituents freeze to death, IOW almost anyone other than Raphael.

I hope President Biden has reread his copy of Winning Through Intimidation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ringer. The only chance he has to move to Republicans to a reasonable position is to convince them that he is willing to walk away and let them ‘drive the car over the cliff’! Only then would Kevin McCarthy have to decide if he were willing to go down in history as the Speaker of the House that ended the ‘full faith and credit’ of U.S. debt and helped to launch a global recession. Speaker McCarthy is a shallow and stupid person, but I don’t think he wants that legacy…

I finally broke down and took a subscription to the Atlanta Journal Constitution because I like local sources for important news stories. So far, they are exceeding expectations and here is their latest story about the phony electors. The article talks about the role David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party played in this saga. David Shafer’s lawyers sent a letter to DA Fani Willis outlining Shafer’s defense regarding his role in the phony electors scheme.

Here is the link to the letter:

Check out p2 paragraph just above the chart: “…departing upwards from the Sentencing Guidelines range based on the defendants’ terroristic conduct…”

I think if Kevin McCarthy were a normal and sane person, we would see him trying to reach a deal with the Democrats, however that is not going to happen. I say this because of what the Senate Democrats are saying and there is a thought that Kevin McCarthy does not want to be like John Boehner. If that is not bad enough Kevin McCarthy lives in the right-wing bubble world and he believes that if the US defaults, then the Republicans will use that, along with the border situation as talking points to slam the Democrats in the 2024 election. Marjorie Toddler Greene is using the Allen gun tragedy as a talking point about needing guns because “those people” are getting ready storm the border and the Democrats will not protect us.
