07.24.23-TYPICAL MAGA STATE-Indiana is a state of many contradictions — at least, according to CNBC. As part of its annual ranking for the top states for business, the news outlet found that Indiana was the seventh-worst state to live and work in. The Hoosier state garnered a D- for life, health and inclusion, with the lack of available, affordable child care and its anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ laws cited as the driving factors. But despite this damning figure, Indiana still made the top 15 most business-friendly states, at No. 13, moving up one spot from its 2022 ranking. Indiana was even No. 1 in infrastructure last year, with Indiana's strength in the freight-shipping industry a major reason.
07.23.23-GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO-It was (yet another) tumultuous week for Trump’s lawyers, with a seemingly endless deluge of setbacks, roadblocks, and full-blown losses, beginning with the target letter Trump received from prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the 2020 election and Jan. 6, 2021, signaling that a third indictment — and a significant one — could be imminent for the former president. On Tuesday, Michigan's attorney general filed criminal charges against 16 pro-Trump fake electors. In addition to being the first charges of their kind ever filed, the fake electors could be facing both state and federal charges, a development which doesn’t bode well for the former president they were attempting to reinstate. Meanwhile, things weren’t looking much brighter in Georgia where Trump's lawyers tried and failed in spectacular fashion to derail District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe. In Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon set Trump's classified documents trial for May 2024, putting it on a direct collision course with his 2024 campaign calendar. (MSNBC)
07.21-23-ALWAYS HAS BEEN A MOBSTER-THIS REALLY IS AN EXPLICIT THREAT-MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough tore into Trump on Friday after the former president said it would be “dangerous” for special counsel Jack Smith to send him to jail. Trump had told an Iowa radio station this week that the possibility of jail time is a “very dangerous thing to even talk about, because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters (vicious MAGA freaks mob) — much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than they had in 2016.” Scarborough said Trump was “talking like a mobster.”
07.21.23-SCUM ALERT!-In a video posted Tuesday on Twitter, when gun violence advocates handed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) a pin of the green Converse a Uvalde victim was wearing when she was murdered in a mass shooting, Boebert threw it away. Brett Cross, whose 10-year-old son Uziyah Garcia was also killed during the Uvalde mass shooting, said on TikTok that Boebert throwing away the pin was “beyond infuriating.” “You people elect these types of people,” Cross said. “Are you fucking serious? She didn’t even have enough couth or wherewithal to even hold on to it until she got to her office to throw it away. She threw it away in plain sight, going to show once again that she does not give a damn.” Maite Rodriguez’s green Converse became a symbol for Uvalde victims when actor Matthew McConaughey, who is from Uvalde, Texas, spoke at the White House about how Maite’s green Converse was the “only clear evidence” used to identify the 9-year-old after the shooting.
07.18.23-A REAL THREAT TO THIS COUNTRY-The New York Times is out with a story sure to simultaneously delight the supporters of former President Trump and strike fear into his critics. The lengthy piece, based on his campaign's public proposals and interviews with insiders, lays out how Trump plans to dramatically increase the power of the presidency should he be elected to a second term. The goal is to "alter the balance of power by increasing the president's authority over every part of the federal government that now operates, by either law or tradition, with any measure of independence from political interference by the White House," write Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, and Charlie Savage. For example:
07.15.23-WATCH THIS GUY-HE MAY BE INSANE BUT HE IS SMART-Absolutely disgusting and insane. The @nypost
obtained video from a recent RFK Jr. event where he suggested COVID is a Chinese bioweapon “ethnically targeted” to “attack Caucasians and Black people” and to spare “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” people. He then falsely claimed the U.S. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on labs in Ukraine to develop similar bioweapons that target people by their race.
07.14.23-YES, BUT DANGEROUS-MSNBC guest Eddie S. Glaude Jr. riffed on Nicolle Wallace’s takedown of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Tuesday, drawing cackles from the host. Tuberville has invited scorn for blocking military promotions in the Senate while at the same time reinforcing his support for white nationalists. Wallace accused Tuberville of single-handedly “impeding and harming U.S. military readiness.” “We can’t decide if he’s more stupid or more racist,” she said. “And it’s almost comical and farcical, but he is today the most powerful Republican in the Senate.” “So let’s just stipulate he’s a stupid racist,” said Glaude, an African-American studies professor at Princeton University.

07.13.23-ANOTHER FAILED MAGA WITCH HUNT-Gone in 60 seconds: At FBI director hearing, Republican conspiracies about Biden go 'POOF!', Rex Huppke, USA Today. So the Republicans who want to defund and discredit the FBI, the ones who eagerly dragged the FBI director through the mud Wednesday with absurd allegations grounded in zero facts, want you, the American people, to believe this: The nation’s premier law enforcement agency has been weaponized against Republicans under a director who is a lifelong Republican and who reached his current post by being selected and confirmed to positions by two Republican presidents and two Republican-led Senate bodies.
Forget that all this is in defense of former President Donald Trump, a one-term, twice-impeached lifelong con artist who now faces more than 70 felony charges in two cases, with more indictments on the horizon.
Forget that Hunter Biden was actually charged with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense.
Forget that, despite relentless investigation, Republicans have produced nothing linking President Biden to his son’s activity, or the fact that the person they touted as a key whistleblower was just charged with arms trafficking and acting as an unregistered agent for China.
07.12.23-THIS IS MAGA'S SO-CALLED HUNTER BIDEN WHISTLEBLOWER-U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and co-head of a Maryland think tank, engaged in multiple, serious criminal schemes. He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official; he acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement. As the charges unsealed today reflect, our Office will continue to work vigorously with our law enforcement partners to detect and hold accountable those who surreptitiously attempt to perpetrate malign foreign influence campaigns here in the United States.” This guy is currently a fugitive. (Huff Post)
07.11.23-KRAZY KAREN-Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) said the emergence of Casey DeSantis on the campaign trail on behalf of her husband, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, could actually backfire. “For many, she’s the brighter side to Florida’s angry governor. To others, she’s become America’s Karen,” Jolly said Sunday on MSNBC.He called her a “more effective messenger” than her husband as he battles for the GOP presidential nomination. The problem is the message itself. “If all she’s doing is amplifying the wrong message, she’s actually clarifying Ron DeSantis’ weaknesses,” he said, pointing specifically to DeSantis’ attempts “to terrify voters” with his culture war rhetoric. “It doesn’t matter if it’s presented in heels or boots, the DeSantis doctrine’s a losing one,” he said. “We’re gonna learn that the more Casey DeSantis gets out there.” (Huff Post)
07.10.23-WHEN TRUMP SPEAKS, HE LIES-Chris Christie pushed back on claims that “tens of thousands” of people still show up to Trump’s rallies, calling estimates for a recent South Carolina event “absurd." “Tens of thousands don’t show up anymore. That’s another one of the big lies that happen. Look, all you have to do is look at the pictures.” Christie was responding to reports, citing a local police chief, that Trump drew a crowd of 50,000 people to a town of 3,400 in South Carolina over the July 4 weekend. That claim has since been called into question. Christie also lambasted Trump’s campaign stop in Iowa last week, where he said the ex-president “droned on for an hour and a half,” “lied” about a farm deal with China, and “spent the rest of the time” discussing his indictment.“This is not somebody who’s fighting for the American people and their future,” Christie concluded. “This is all about his ego.” (Huff Post)
07.09.23-Please Joe, no cluster bombs!
07.08.23-LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE-Republican-and Democratic-appointed federal judges are pushing back against state laws that ban gender-affirming care for minors. Courts are doing so for the reasons these laws should never have been passed in the first place: They are unconstitutional and infringe upon the rights of American citizens. The systematic effort to use the power of government to marginalize transgender people and deny young people health care services based on ideology and against scientific consensus in states such as Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida has been rebuffed by jurists in the past several weeks. (USA Today)
07.07.23-PRISONER # 123trump-MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell and his panel of legal experts went through some of the claims Trump has been making in his defense as he faces a 37-count indictment in the classified documents scandal. In one clip played by O’Donnell, Trump claimed that charging him under the Espionage Act is “one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put in an American court of law, there’s never been anything like this.” “Has there ever been anything like this?” O’Donnell asked former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal “Hell yeah,” Katyal replied without hesitation, the immediately cited the recent example of Robert Birchum who was recently sentenced for keeping classified documents at his home. “Notably, unlike Trump, Mr. Birchum ― who was a highly decorated Air Force officer ― expressed remorse for what he did, he took full responsibility, and Lawrence, yet, he still got 3 years in prison just last month.” Katyal also cited several other recent examples of people getting prison time after being convicted on the same charges that Trump is now facing. Trump, he suggested, “should just look at the language of the Espionage Act ― it describes him to a T.”
07.06.23-LOSER NEWS-Longtime Fox News analyst Brit Hume is suggesting that Republicans think twice before supporting Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primaries. “The case can be made that he’s a loser because, since he got elected in 2016, he’s compiled a string of them,” Hume said. “Either he or his supported candidates have lost too many races.” Hume said Republicans who support Trump are voting for the candidate they feel closest to and not voting strategically to support that candidate with the best chance of winning.“ That may come back to haunt the Republican Party in 2024,” he said. “You look at the Democrats and what they think of the race. They think that Trump is going to win the nomination, and they think Biden will beat him because he did beat him.”
07.05.23-Hot dog eating contests-A disgusting display of gluttony. People are starving. Give them the hot dogs.
07.04.23-Happy Birthday to the country that the MAGA FREAKS are trying to destroy.
07.03.23-1984, AGAIN=DeSantis is pandering to an aging Republican base that wants to roll back the clock to when people like them controlled everything and there were no uncomfortable reminders of the humanity and worth of Black people, brown people, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and white women who for some inexplicable reason refuse to fit the Casey DeSantis model. It’s telling about the Republican Party that merely calling for the elimination of four federal agencies is not enough, that DeSantis felt he also had to link that to his ongoing high-pitched whine about “woke ideology” and the campaign against an education that allows LGBTQ+ kids and Black kids to see themselves and their histories as legitimate, let alone valued.
07.02.23-SCUM REPORT-Trump Pressed Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey To Overturn 2020 Election Results: Trump is also currently under investigation for telling the governor of Georgia to "find" extra votes for him. Seeing his prospects for a second term rapidly dimming in late 2020, Trump pressed Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to procure made-up votes that could tip the scales in his favor, The Washington Post reported Saturday citing three people familiar with their call. The now-former president enacted a similar pressure campaign against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) with an order to “find” votes, which was recorded and is currently the subject of criminal investigations. Ducey did not record his call with Trump, the newspaper said. Trump also tried to use Pence, to coerce Ducey into changing the results of the election, according to the Post, which noted that Pence called Ducey but did not pressure him.
07.01.23-SCREWED-UP JUSTICE-SCOTUS on Friday greatly expanded the rights of people who want to discriminate against same-sex couples in a case involving an amateur website designer who was never even asked to make a website for a same-sex wedding. In 303 Creative v. Elenis, amateur web designer Lorie Smith asked the court to grant her the right under the First Amendment to refuse service to gay and lesbian couples due to her Christian religious beliefs. But Smith’s request was wholly speculative. She had not been hired to make a website for a same-sex couple and, therefore, had never refused such work. In fact, she’s never made a single wedding website.

For example:
- Independent agencies such as the FCC and the FTC would operate under the president's control.
- Presidents would be able to refuse to spend money authorized by Congress on programs they don't like—the practice is called "impounding" funds, and lawmakers banned it under Richard Nixon.
- Tens of thousands of civil servants would lose their job protection, making it easier for a president to fire them.
