  1. Wondering how the various election felony charges here compare to those being discussed in Michigan. Politico story Michigan AG calls for special prosecutor in case now involving her Trump-backed opponent

    Michigan’s attorney general is requesting a special prosecutor be named to investigate her Trump-endorsed opponent, citing evidence tying him to a potentially criminal scheme to seize and tamper with voting machines, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.

  2. #TrumpsToilet 

    [t]his one was just too fucking good. But we’ll warn you, it includes a picture of Trump’s toilet. Actually two pictures. They are from Maggie’s book, and they are pictures of torn up documents in Trump’s toilet. Which is illegal. But that’s not the best part. The best part is that Elise Stefanik’s miserable fucking name is written on one of the pieces of torn up paper resting at the bottom of Trump’ shitter. That’s right, Elise. You’re with the poop. Think of it as a crystal ball. (h/t TBS)

  3. Amazing how much Harris has accomplished as VP without taking any credit.  Her 51st vote has been the deciding vote in so much legislation that has been passed over the last two years.  She has to get goosebumps hitting the Yes button and watching the Repubs faces.

    1. I don't know which is the more offensive coming out of the MAGA World: facts being a matter of personal opinion, or the celebration of stupidity as some kind of virtue?

  4. The Triad is a great read today:

    No One Despises MAGA Voters More Than MAGA Elites

    “Oppressed” 

    For those who live in that world, in which your political opponents are implacable, hate-filled monsters coming after you because of what you are, it's a lot like living in a sectarian failed state like Lebanon. No matter how corrupt, incompetent, or personally vile your sect's leader is, you have to vote for him because it's zero-sum, and the other sects hate you and will rob you and oppress you because of what you are.

    So I’m sure that this is undeniably true for some swaths of Republican voters. If you’re living on government assistance in a Kentucky holler that’s been hollowed out by jobs being shipped overseas and the flood of opioids, I get it. I mean, I’d argue that you are misallocating blame, but I get that it feels like you’re living in a sectarian failed state.

     

    1. Is cuckholding really THAT common in MAGA World?

      We all know the story about Jerry Fallwell, Jr., his wife and pool boy, but does it really happen more frequently?

      Where Alfred Kinsey when we need him to update his 1947 study?

      The 21st century has given us so much more to explore and understand: the family-value whoremongers, the cucks, the bowling alley thumb exhibitionists, and the airport toilet wide-stance conservatives.

  5. "If he meant “biological females” as “people assigned female at birth,” then does he think that there’s an epidemic of transgender women pretending to be pregnant so that they can get prenatal services?"

    Marco Rubio goes on bizarre rant about pregnant men on Senate floor (msn.com)

    File this alongside Danielle New Schwangler's claim that Governor Polis is pretending to be gay, presumably to cash in on all those special rights we have.

    1. Poor Marco, jumping up and down in a puddle of his own urine and flop sweat, trying desperately for some minimal amount of relevance.

      Like the song says, Marco, when the world doesn't want you, it will never tell you why; you can shut the door, but you can't ignore, the crawl of your decline.

    1. #Raid-a-Lago

      Inquiring minds want to know how many times Fat Donnie from Queens had to flush his low-flow toilets to get through the day?

    1. Maybe Tina Peters can help them with a recount of the signatures they did have. Or maybe the zealots got cold feet after their big loss last week in conservative Kansas.

      A minor quibble….. I think 75/25 is a little high even as an average. Without looking anything up, I recall one loss for the tub-thumpers at 73-27, one at 71-29, and one at 64-36. Forgetting the other one……

      The religious fundies did better with the last one I’ve listed as the wording was mis-leading, IMHO. 

    1. Josh Marshall at TPM is pretty certain:

      By Josh Marshall August 8, 2022 7:45 p.m.

      We now have confirmation from CNN that the raid was about the 15 boxes of classified documents that Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. This is a critical point. This is not tied to the January 6th investigation or the conspiracy that preceded. This is a separate investigation.
