RNC Chair Ronna [formerly Romney] McDaniel and the Michigan Republican chair are trying more chicanery in Michigan today: they want certification put off until an audit is done.

Ivanka tries for the Low-Info, High-Disinformation voters before she flees to NYC
Ivanka and her brother retweeted an edited video of a violent right-wing perpetrator left over from yesterday’s Unite the Right 2.0 MAGA demo. An unedited version of the video shows the real depth of carnage. Apparently they’re trying to corner the less-attentive part of the right-wing media audience, perhaps in the hope of running for political office. x…
“Michigan's 'Man of the Year'” comes to Michigan, tries to incite violence
Trump’s now doing shtick at his virus-fests, focusing on grievance and culture-war nonsense, nearly promising Michiganders that he’ll not visit Minnesota if he loses the election. “Remember that time Trump got Herman Cain killed?” x Trump says “lock them all up” as his fans direct “lock her up!” chants toward Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who…
GA-Sen B: Kelly Loeffler (R) Tries To Blame China For Giving Trump COVID-19
She’s so fucking awful: x Remember: China gave this virus to our President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @FLOTUS. WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.— Kelly Loeffler (@KLoeffler) October 2, 2020 United States Senator Kelly Loeffler directly blamed China for infecting President Donald Trump in a Friday morning tweet. In the tweet, Loeffler said, “Remember: China…
TX-Sen: GOP Tries To Label MJ Hegar (D) As “Radical” For Having Tattoos That Cover Her Battle Wounds
That’s pathetic: The Texans for a Conservative Majority, a political action committee that supported other Republican super PACs, superimposed a photo of Democrat MJ Hegar on a dark background with the caption, “HARD LEFT HEGAR.” The photo, which was noticeably featured at the top of the group's website, shows the tattoos on her right arm…
CO-Sen: Cory Gardner (R) Tries To Blame Public Health Experts Of Politicizing The Pandemic
Of course he would: In some of his most candid remarks to date about the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner told a conservative crowd that public health advice and science have been politicized in recent months, causing an erosion of public trust. Gardner, a Yuma Republican, spoke in person to the Steamboat Institute’s annual Freedom Conference on Aug….
Fox, after confirming #LoserSuckergate, tries cleanup. Mayor Pete stopped them.
I rescind my belief that Democratic politicians shouldn’t go on Fox under any circumstances. Mayor Pete forced their brainwashed viewers to confront reality. Most rightwing outlets have decided to just completely ignore this latest Trump scandal, where he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” and instead focus on Nancy Pelosi’s hairdresser. Faux News desperately wanted to run this…
Trump tries to cut federal funds to “lawless zones”, like his sanctuary city threats, it's a stunt
Like the fantasy airline flights filled with numerous thugs, the delusional election stunts continue. The riff here is on “autonomous zones”. x This is the latest attempt to distract from the fact that COVID-19 has infected over 6 million Americans, killed 185,000 people, and destroyed the American economy. The only anarchy zone in America, where the…
ME-Sen: Maine GOP Head Says Susan Collins (R) Supports Trump Even As She Tries To Run Away From Him
So this happened earlier today: Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who is fighting to keep her Senate seat in one of the country’s most notable races, said Tuesday she’s focusing on her own race, again offering no indication of whether she is supporting President Donald Trump. Collins was in Bangor Tuesday afternoon to commemorate the centennial…
GOP tries to rewrite history yet again for Trump's pandemic incompetence and inaction
The GOP keeps trying to rewrite history as a quarter-million deaths lie ahead with a failed policy, as if any death toll could be spun positively. 3 takeaways from the first night of the Republican National Convention 1. A promise of optimism, quickly abandoned The GOP claimed that this convention would be significantly more optimistic than Democrats’…
Trump tries to distance himself from 'We Build the Wall,' but 'We Kept the Receipts'
So many people have been coffee boy’d by Donald Trump, you have to seriously wonder how much caffeine a person can safely consume before bleeding out their irises. The latest person/entity Trump is desperately trying to scramble away from like Sir Robin from the killer rabbit is the two-headed scandalmaker du jour, Steve Bannon and We…
Trump's brain glitches as he tries to pronounce the name of one of America's greatest parks
The Keebler elf who remotely controls Trump from atop an enchanted toadstool is tripping balls again. Here’s the clip pic.twitter.com/b4NtCuEa2z — Brennan Murphy (@brenonade) August 4, 2020 TRUMP: “When they gaze upon Yo-semites, Yosemenites, towering sequoias.” Well, at least I have a new mantra in case “gate gate pāragate pārasamgate” doesn’t work out the way I’d…
New record high in US COVID cases, Trump administration tries to divert CDC data
Trump continues to ignore the COVID-19 crisis, trying pathetically to divert attention with cranes, weights reminding us of the Python 16 tons, and trucks. because this is what deregulation does not look like, but only idiots in the WH PR team would choose Monty Python weights WaPo’s Philip Bump addresses how Taskforce head, Pence frames the…
NC-Sen: Thom Tillis (R) Tries To Blame Hispanics For North Carolina's COVID-19 Surge
What a fucking moron: Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said Hispanics in his state have higher rates of coronavirus and are less likely to social distance and wear masks. “Wear the mask out of respect. And I will tell you I’m not a scientist and I’m not a statistician, but one of the concerns that…
Trump now tries to do campaign speeches from South Lawn disguised as stand-up comedy show & tell
More Trump shtick, recycling old material, but he still loves trucks. The president is ranting about shower heads, dishwashers, and light bulbs. Now Fox News is fact-checking IMPOTUS*. x Cool. Now do one for the weight of 135,000 dead Americans. And 30 million unemployed workers. https://t.co/kKPThOG7za— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) July 16, 2020 x They have…
Trump tries to save the confederacy using QAnon because it fits his dominionist pandering
Trump wants Confederate spectacles, why else try to attack NASCAR because of its flag ban. The ultimate Confederate spectacle is the resilience of the lost cause narrative perhaps reinforced by the Jim Crow erection of monuments. It was amusing that the press tried to goad the WH Press Secretary into an admission that the Confederate stars and…
Trump tries to kill ACA during COVID-19: “You don't have to kill people” in the Trump second term
The unhingery continues with four months left. Trump’s doubling down on positions seems typical but has now moved to places that seem more like a scorched-earth campaign as November approaches. Trump just asked the Supreme Court to invalidate the ACA in its entirety. He is trying to take away your healthcare. Right now. In the…
Presumptuous white woman tries to stop man from painting Black Lives Matter on his own home
She assumes the home isn’t his. It gets tiring. Is there any wonder the blood pressure of POCs is higher in the aggregate? This woman’s disrespect was palpable. No man or woman should go through this. It seems likely in short order we are forcing an atonement. The man she confronted handled it well. See the…
Still no national testing strategy as mask-free Trump tries to wipe away all federal regulations
The chaos continues as we’re only just beginning the scorched earth campaign on the way to the bunker. 167 days to go. It's May 19th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy. — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 19, 2020 Very old, Almost dead. 2/ This appears to be a reference to a…
Trump tries to spin dead bodies, because jobs are more important than dying
All that remains from Trump is virtue signaling: ignore deaths, go back to work, you’ll be a warrior, and we’ll give you a flyover. I made this case at some length the other day. The imperative of creating the illusion of success is undermining the possibility of actual success. It turns out that this rationale…
