On Christian Nationalism. Sarah Posner at TPM.
"The conventional Christian right" is incorrect and shoulld be "The revanchist Christian right"
Dave Williams is front page above the fold this morning; but not for good reasons. Matt Soper didn’t exactly cover himself in glory either, with his fawning defense of Williams https://www.denverpost.com/2024/04/12/colorado-republican-party-dave-williams-controversy-infighting/
I read a funny post somewhere saying the CO GOP's "big tent" is turning into more like a day pack. Camping humor.
Sooper is struggling to understand he's the out group. His decision to suck up is evidence that he's been broken. He will serve now as eunuch servant an example to the others who could have the bonafidees to potentially cause trouble for the troublemakers like Let's Go Brandon Williams
Soper is an idiot. Always has been.
WaPo's Jennifer Rubin once again reminds us why complacency isn't an option.
Chase's Billionaire CEO Jamie Dimon's sanguine attitude towards Trump is just one example
Jamie Dimon would be prosecuted for criminal fraud in sane nations, but the US long ago stopped going after the Boeskys and Milkens of the business world, except in rare cases of complete felony stupidity (Bankman-Fried). Trump wasn't right about NATO or immigration and trump wasn't responsible for the growing economy, though he was responsible for unnecessary tax cuts that helped balloon the deficit and debt. Dimon has a billionaire's brain, largely unable to see things outside his purview. Wealth inequality continued to skyrocket under trump, and as any good student of history knows, wealth inequality is a great societal destabilizer.
Turns out the IPO arrangement anticipated a huge drop in share prices, down as low as $12.50 per share, but still award the 50% bump in shares (he already holds 79 million shares).
The con was set up from the start.

Some Trump stock investors have already lost half their money
Yup, retail stock buyers (i.e. the little guys) have lost an estimated $1.1 billion so far on DJT. The question is, will Trump try to wiggle out of the 6 month freeze preventing him from selling? Also, after the 6 month lock up ends, will there be any market for the shares? It would take forever to sell off his 110 million shares. So he'd be better off wallpapering his bathroom with the stock certificates.
Only penny-stock boiler room traders will want to touch it.
There are single-location Waffles Houses with more revenue than Truth. It will (appropriately) be delisted or a penny stock before November. So. Much. Winning.
The dreaded mean girl reporter who hurt Davie's fee-fees Sandra Fish just tweeted that Sonnenberg made the CD4 primary ballot by petition. That makes 5 official candidates and there are still 3 who could qualify.
Always worth sharing — Tom the Dancing Bug's latest:
That’s a damn fine DPO article today about the “Colorado GOP Meltdown”. My cup runneth over.
So, has You-Know-Who submitted a doctor's note to the judge yet saying that his bone spurs have been acting up and he can't go to trial on Monday?
#CadetBoneSpurs (begrudgingly) reporting for duty!!!
This just in:
"Trump complains about 'prejudicial pretrial publicity.'"
Trump takes a shit in the swimming pool and then complains about the polluted water.
Update: the Glasser vs SOS lawsuit re: Trisha Calvarese CD4 eligibility.
The suit was initiated by a self-professed Democrat, Jim Glasser, who won't reveal who's paying the legal freight.
Here's the 800lb hint: The two lawyers representing Glasser include John Zakhem and Andrew Nickel…
HUGE SURPRISE – both are hard core right-wing/GOP operatives.
John S Zakhem (age 56) gained infamy by representing the Trump campaign in the Coomer vs Trump Campaign et al defamation suit. Zakhem also represents the CO GOP House Causcus and other right-wing efforts.
Andrew Nickel is younger. During CU law school, he interned with Neil Gorsuch. He also represents the GOP in a number of ways, as well as the Independence Institute think-tank.
If you’re a witness in Fat Donnie’s trial that starts Monday it may be wise to stay away from windows that aren’t at floor-level – and stairs – this weekend. The last time Fat Donnie was scheduled to appear in court where he and his lawyers couldn’t delay any longer, Ivana was found at the bottom of the stairs…and he received a temporary reprieve.
