will DINO Kyrsten Sinema simply be replaced by DINO Tammy Murphy? Please NJ voters think about your vote. Andy Kim is WAY more qualified.

True MAGA patriots must remove themselves from Biden’s booming economy, cash out 401(k)s (msn.com)
America’s economy appears to have gone woke and is now fully supporting the reelection of Crooked Joe Biden. I’m not sure how this happened, but no matter how much we say the economy is terrible, it keeps unpatriotically refusing to be terrible, posing a direct threat to PRESIDENT Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race.
Just look at these recent headlines about the now-totally-liberal economy:
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.
- “Consumer confidence hits highest level since December 2021.”
- “Falling inflation, rising growth give U.S. the world’s best recovery.”
- “As doomsday predictions dissipate, Biden aides savor booming economy.”
Along with all that, the S&P 500, which we now know has a liberal bias, hit a record high Jan. 19, wage growth is beating inflation and jobless claims hit their lowest point since 2022.
None of this is good news if you care about President Trump or America. It’s clear Democrats are manipulating the economy and making it the strongest economy in the world in order to fool voters into thinking Biden is a competent president.
Don’t believe me? If you own stocks or have a 401(k), just look at your balance and you’ll see EXACTLY what these cheaters are up to. They’re trying to buy your votes by putting more money in your pockets. That’s cheating. DON’T BE FOOLED!

There has been and is a a gap,

It’s clear true Trump supporters cannot be party to this kind of liberal skullduggery. So in response to this distressing spate of positive economic news, I hereby call on all MAGA faithful to remove themselves from the CORRUPTLY BOOMING BIDEN ECONOMY.
If you have a 401(k), you need to immediately cash that out and either donate the money to President Trump’s reelection campaign/legal defense fund (he will give it back to you, with interest, once elected) or invest those funds in somethings sensible, like digital Trump Trading Cards.
Next, you must quit your job. It’s on us to help President Trump’s campaign by bringing those unemployment numbers back up to where we think they should be under an incompetent president who doesn’t know what day it is.
If you aren’t willing to quit your job, you must at least refuse any pay raise you’re offered. Only a squishy lib would allow himself to get paid more while a DEMONcrat is in office.

Even as I read all this depressing news, like Barry Wom of the Rutles, I’m living in hope:

My most fervent wish is that Trump is forced to use Alina Habba for his various (and numerous) appeals. I will personally pay for her copy of Appellate Procedure for Dummies.

I think passing a tax bill that makes the president look good, may allow checks before the election — means that [Joe Biden] could be reelected and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax bill.”
What is the opposite of omertà? Because between this, the sabotaging of the border bill, rooting for an economic collapse, telling the Texas Supreme Court to hold up on depositions in the Ken Paxton case, they’re letting their corruption and lack of fealty to America totally hang out in the public domain.

The NYT compiles the eyewitness accounts of Alabama’s execution of Kenneth Smith last week using a never-before-tired nitrogen gas technique.
Alabama’s bloodlust is so intense they used a technique banned for putting down dogs and cats. Vile.

Thanks for the Oroville video, David. Whoever had the idea of doing video of that was smart – great stuff.
That calls for a cat photo.

Trump is using his criminal cases as a means to campaign. He’s selling these as persecution, and that gets votes.
Seems like the lawyers are really part of the campaign.

What’s frightening is, until the last few paragraphs, I thought this was from a real campaign email and not a satirical column from Rex Huppke.

" A Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida has thrown out Disney’s lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis ® alleging it was retaliated against in violation of its First Amendment rights for opposing the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. The judge ruled that Disney had failed to establish standing or jurisdiction."
LOL what? No standing to bring a suit under 1983 alleging their 1A rights were violated? What kind of batshit was this? And yet fucking Ho and the others in 5th Circuit invent standing out of thin air claiming it’s established by doctors fearing that they might encounter something abortion-y that upsets their sensibilities?
Welcome to fascism, you stupid fucking country.

Dan Pfeiffer makes the salient point that the right wing have pulled themselves away or are fighting with the NFL, Taylor Swift, a prominent football player, Disney, Target, Bud-Lite, MLB, among other prominent cultural icons in American society. They’ve pulled themselves out of mainstream American life, where most politicians want to be to win votes. Usually political parties work hard to portray their opponents as out of touch, Republicans are happily doing it to themselves.
