Marianne Williamson is back in the race! Still, even though I'm a Swiss psychoanalyst, not a campaign strategist, I can't imagine making such an announcement after like 700,000 people have already voted bodes well for her chances in Colorado???

Or not. She is just trying to get attention like JFK jr. Haven't heard about him in a while.
I had RFK Jr. people stop by my house over the weekend. They handed out a big door-hanger with his messaging, and while he does not have my vote, I can see where some of what his campaign wrote might enjoy some popular support. So GG, I'm guessing that while you might not have heard much from him lately, you will!
There are some very enthusiastic supporters for him in the cannabis community (who also tend to be heavily anti-vaxers).
RFK, Jr. is a dangerous idiot. His anti-vax bullshit kills people.
Agreed but he's touching a chord with a segment of the cannabis community. Not me, but I see a lot of it in my social feeds.
They're probably best described as Libertarian Anarchists, not your average Dem.
She's not your traditional type of candidate.
Besides, maybe she is following the Nikki Haley Strategy. Even though you are far behind, should anything happen to the front runner whereby he leaves the race, you can make a claim for the crown.
Thought the same. Maybe Nikki Haley is playing the long game. Can't deny that she's smart.
lol
Williamson apparently decided there was more meat left on the grift bone than she previously surmised.
Williamson, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, The Secret . . . Ophrah Winfrey has much to answer for.

Lauren Boebert’s son arrested, charged in “string of vehicle trespasses and property thefts” in Rifle
Tyler Jay Boebert, 18, is the second Boebert family member arrested this year
Who could have possibly seen this coming? At some level you have to feel bad for this kid. His mother is making Sarah Palin look like a Mother of the Year candidate.
👇👇👇"grooming", indeed. Exhibit A:

I said it before, she needs to resign and get her own highly dysfunctional house in order. She won't though, because the grift is so good.
You're right. The grift is waaaay too lucrative. Her White Prosperity Jesus slip is showing. Maybe Jonathan Turley can do a sequel to his latest hard-hitting piece of journalism??
That's a fascinating story Michael ! Bidens all the way back to Civil War times…
But one has to wonder about the intent of Turlow's piece. Does he really expect to peel away votes from Biden because of something Biden's great -grandfather did?
Who'd have thunk??? (other than Turley, whose rabid pivot to MAGA indicates Putin must have a Russian Golden Shower video tape on him as well).
When I see that Christmas photo of Boebert and her kids, I immediately think of Jennifer Crumbley who, with her husband, bought their unstable kid the gun he used to kill his classmates for Christmas because, as Ms. Crumbley put it, she didn't want her son to be "pussified."
Another member of the Boebert Crime Family.
sigh…

Sounds like he's a garden variety low-level felon with an SUD
The only way that extreme positions are succeeded by moderate ones is by way of the ballot box (eg: Biden 2020).
McConnell stepping down as Leader this Fall. May the Senate Republican Hunger Games commence!
A good read but nothing new to anyone paying attention.
Mitch McConnell: The Man Who Sold America
This means that Ted Cruz must be gearing up for his run for leader.
Looks like FDFQ is going to crow about taking down the Old Crow.
I'm guessing McConnell will try to install Cornyn, Thune or Barrasso as his successor.
Meanwhile, Fat Donnie from Queens appears to be suffering a cash crunch. Sad!!!
Trump Offers Court a $100 Million Bond to Pause a $454 Million Judgment
Do we know what he would have to "put down" for a $100 million bond – 10%? Does that mean Donnie only has $10 million cash?
I think the Special Master in that case controls his NY assets for the time being. Maybe he's got cash stashed at Whore-a-Lago in the classified documents storage area! A couple CDs maturing at Gazprombank?
Someone in NATO today: "Pay your bills Donnie or we'll let
PutinLetitia do whatever the hell she wants!!"I really think the strategy of insulting the judges, prosecuting attorneys and the entire court system, as well as turning the entire procedure into a circus with all of your public blathering, was a pretty savvy legal strategy for Dumpy. He's now reaping the fruits of his labor with his bullshit 100 mil proposal being immediately shot down. Stable genius at work.
He really thinks this works like buying a used car. You haggle over the price.
Trump under oath in his deposition:
Trump to appellate court:
Nah… he doesn't think he will need to come up with more since he doesn't think the judgment's amount is reasonable.
And whatever he thinks is what will happen, of course……
He continues to live in fantasy land.
The Appellate judge gave FDFQ some wiggle room:
So he potentially could borrow the necessary cash to post the bond. Are there enough loan sharks in NY to cover that amount? Given his credit history, though, making the vigorish might be almost as tough. 🙂
Ted Cruz is almost universally despised, so maybe Cornyn or another would be preferred.
Some comic described Cruz as "the smirking merkin", and now I can't unsee that.
Cruz IS universally despised, but that wing of the GOP will field a MAGA candidate for leader. If not Cruz, maybe Mike Lee, Eand Paul, Josh Hawley or the new kid in town, JD Vance.
They will not sit quietly while the Old Crow annoints one of three Johns (Thune, Cornyn, or Barasso) as his successor.
Republican factions and what they will accept are a dark mystery…. and the vote won't be taken until the general election is done.
Alva, got this message when trying to log in to reply to a post:
"You do not have sufficient permissions to access this admin page.

Is this my secret message from George Soros?
Didn't this site used to highlight new comments? That was cool.
I still have to reload pages to see updates, FYI.
This is rich: Matt Gaetz confirming Hunter Biden didn't invoke his 5th Amendment right a single time today. Compare that to Eric Trumps 500 times and Fat Donnie hiding behind the 5th over 400 times in the NY cases.
It's a national embarrassment that Gaetz sits anywhere near a lever of institutional power.
Supreme Court says it will hear Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution, delaying his trial
April 22 hearing. Likely no decision until June which effectively punts the DC trial until after election. IIRC he is also asserting immunity in the GA case? I guess that leaves Alvin Bragg as the only man standing. Let's get this porn-star payoff issue litigated!
It would not surprise me to see him move to stay the NY state court case as well since the Supreme Court has accepted his immunity claim.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. He aint going to trial in any of the criminal cases before November.
CPR has an interesting story about Dave William's & CO GOP.
