When you’ve earned the name “Deathsantis,” by trying to kill your way through a pandemic, you’re pretty much locked into covid denial. How often does someone say “I’m sorry I was a homicidal imbecile” outside of a courtroom?

No, but they already did the FREEDUMB for the convention center and CPAC leaders insisting participants/guests mask up properly.

There was a YouTube ad playing during a video I was watching that had people saying “Dear San Francisco” for 25 seconds before I figured out it was an NRA ad. I skipped the punchline so I dont know what they were saying.

The Arizona legislature has a couple of bills to allow it to appoint presidential electors after election day, regardless of how the voters vote. With Mitch McConnell endorsing the Trump 2024 campaign, there is no doubt we will be facing a major crisis when the GOP tries to make him dictator. This is why Trump must be indicted for his crimes, in as many jurisdictions as possible. If he is in prison, it makes it exponentially harder for him to run for President successfully.
This is an example of just how desperate the GOP is to block voters from deciding elections.https://t.co/sZAM3ApESj

I recall reading that the Navajo and Hualapai Reservations voted overwhelmingly for Biden, 80% or more.
So yes, disenfreanchizing minorities…
My feeling is that the Trump name will widely be seen as rotting garbage by 2024, but we’ll need to do something about that Arizona move or we may end up with something like “President Hawley”.
The overriding theme of CPAC this year is frantically hyping non-existent voter fraud, as a pretext for enacting legislation to disenfranchise minority voters.

Trump has a formula of performative cruelty plus lies and promises that addressed his base’s self-satisfaction needs. The question will now be whether anyone else can emulate or elaborate on that style (in the way that Trump is elaborating on Rush Limbaugh).
We’re watching the process of performers trying to adopt the genre, each importing their own spin.

re: #14 Eclectic Cyborg
1. Are these bills even Constitutional?
That’s the problem. Because the Constitution says, “The state legislatures get to decide how electors are appointed,” they could literally pass a law that says, “Only Republican electors will be appointed in this state,” and it would satisfy the requirements of the Constitution. Undoubtedly it would be appealed straight up to the Supreme Court, and with the Court the way it is right now… eeeeeesh. I don’t feel good.

I’m confident that a law that literally said that would be unconstitutional, even with this Court, because it denies equal protection to Democrats. However, what the Arizona legislature is doing is shifting certification of the election results from state officials to itself, and they would refuse to certify a Democrat winning due to “election fraud.”

re: #18 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Josh Hawley seems to be positioning himself well. Even though he is a college-educated politician, he has managed to market himself as a “man of the people”.
I think, however, that a big part of Trump’s appeal to his cult is because he is so authentically crude. Hawley can’t recreate that, which makes me hopeful that he can’t inspire the Trump base to get out and vote. Remember in 2016 when Rubio tried to swap insults with Trump? He just came off as pathetic.

Especially our electoral system. Good faith with a minimum of mutual oversight and control. But good faith no longer exists and the controls are not sufficient to prevent the GOP from being able to make believable (although not necessarily credible) charges of fraud and irregularities.
re: #14 Eclectic Cyborg
Yes. The way states allocate electors is up to them. There would probably be a wholesale nationwide screaming fit that makes the…problems we had over the summer look like a friendly game of cards.
And of course, if you’re denied the ballot box and the jury box, and the soapbox…then you’re quickly running out of boxes that can be used to effect change in the government that do not contain large amounts of brass and lead

That is what happens when your only agenda is plundering the nation for oligarchs. That doesn’t have much appeal to 99.9% of voters, so you have to lie to them to get them to the polls. Unfortunately, they have Fox News and other propaganda organs to lie incessantly for them.

To the outside world, it seems strange that Republicans would not only tolerate this but in many cases actively encourage it. Trump’s appeal to his party was rooted in his reality-television-corroborated claim to be a lifelong winner. Come to Trump’s side, he promised incessantly, and you will win so much you’ll get tired of it. What value does he still have now? When previous defeated presidents were discarded, why cling to the one whose value proposition was based on never being a loser?”“An important part of the answer is that, seen through Republican eyes, Trump didn’t lose at all.”

Type casting a guy who got a job as a drill sergeant because Kubrick saw him prepping his actors and gave Ermey a job over the actor who was going to be the Gunnery Sergeant Hartman role.
Gee, who’da thunk that? He had a nice career in those kinds of roles. Heck, there are guys like Clancy Brown who not only get typecast as the “bad guy” or voice actor or niche roles. Not everyone can be a star, but not everyone agrees that they can do so.

The McInerney account appears to be just another QAnon promoter using McInerney’s name to win more followers to the conspiracy theory. On Thursday, the account’s owner claimed that Trump’s upcoming speech Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference qualifies as a State of the Union address, meaning that Trump is still the president.
Still, the bogus accounts have proved to be more successful at attracting Telegram followers than genuine Trump allies on the platform.
The fake McInerney page has nearly 160,000 subscribers, with each post viewed more than 100,000 times. By comparison, former Trump adviser Roger Stone has less than 30,000 followers on his real Telegram page, while InfoWars figure Paul Joseph Watson has 43,000 followers. Former overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, who met with Trump and his advisers in a heated meeting in the final days of the Trump administration and has since emerged as a leading election fraud conspiracy theorist, has 65,000 followers.

I’d be happy if he was charged with selling state secrets.
Teh Stoopid is a feature, not a bug, with these people:
Many of the Telegram newcomers found that some of MAGAworld’s biggest stars had joined them. Donald Trump himself was on the app, amassing more than 200,000 followers within a few days. So was Melania Trump, posting herself to Telegram as “Lady Melania Trump.” Air Force General John Hyten joined the app and began issuing cryptic, QAnon-style pronouncements that thrilled believers eager to see President Joe Biden arrested and Trump returned to power.
Except all of the accounts, including the accounts representing both Trumps and Hyten, were fake. Many of them were later removed, or marked as scams on the app. Despite that, QAnon believers soon started taking the fake accounts’ pronouncements as genuine, as though they really were coming from the Trumps or Hyten.

Well, that’s the thing. I don’t see how he could have done anything significant — Khashoggi was murdered in Turkey, by Saudis. The worst JK could have done (plenty bad, I agree) was to say the US wasn’t getting involved in the matter. So accessory maybe, nothing more.

As you say, the worst crime is likely accessory before the fact. Neither Jared nor Trump could be prosecuted under the law, but they could be banished permanently from polite society and subject to constant excoriation by the media. Of course, it would not affect the GOP base at all. If the death of 500,000 American citizens is dismissed by the GOP and its base, the death of a single foreign resident would be dismissed out of hand.

There has never been a time in my sixty years the GOP wasn’t fascist; they’re just more open about it now.
Indeed.
Apply Eco’s Ur-fascist checklist to the slaveholding South—antebellum and postbellum Redemption—and you can make a pretty good argument it was a fascist state inside the US state.

We have to get back to people of good character being in government, but it’s going to take a lot of work to get there.
Especially since that means we need to get rid of the Republicans from government.

Well, that’s the thing. I don’t see how he could have done anything significant — Khashoggi was murdered in Turkey, by Saudis. The worst JK could have done (plenty bad, I agree) was to say the US wasn’t getting involved in the matter. So accessory maybe, nothing more.
Let’s not forget the fact that SA and MBS are the ones who did the deed.
Felony murder rule. If Kushner gave Saudi Arabia the information they needed to intercept Kashoggi to kill him, and Kushner knew they were going to do that, he could be charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

re: #378 SerialUpDinger
anyone familiar with clubhouse? I admit I was lazy when I first heard about it the other day- the car radio was playing AM radio because the phone was at home and it was probably some far away right wing station. The host talked about how it was this place where the left hated it because there was no transcript of what was said and FREEDOM and all the rest of the usual stuff. In any case, now that I heard that snipped of audio, clubhouse has achieved some relevance in my brain and I see articles about how it is dying and the next great thing. Can both things be true at the same time?

We all thought it was an accident when trump used nazi soldiers in one of his advertisements for a rally. They problem is these people are too stupid to care. they feel no shame. They cheered an insurrection that was deadly. There opinion means nothing to me.
When Donald Trump gets a standing O at CPAC, remember they’re applauding a man who fomented a riot in the US Capital and who, thanks to stupidity, ineptitude, and callous disregard, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. That is who they are applauding.

New talking point via the 80 meter ham radio band: “Biden got 80 million votes and Trump got 77 million votes. That’s more than the number of registered voters. The election is FAKE.”
We have to accept that the propaganda will NEVER stop.
re: #145 Nyet
So far CPAC has mostly preferred to distance themselves from the more loud alt-right. From last year:
At a private event Wednesday night titled “Emergency Save the First Amendment Summit” held at a hotel in Washington, DC, several “cancelled” conservatives spoke before a group of about 80 attendees. Most of the speakers had either been kicked off of major tech platforms, and some were explicitly banned from attending CPAC.
Emceed by InfoWars’ conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the speakers included white nationalist “Groyper” leader Nick Fuentes, Vice and “Proud Boys” co-founder Gavin McInnes, and current Proud Boys chair Enrique Tarrio. Ex-Breitbart writer Lee Stranahan also spoke at the event, giving a call-and-response speech where he repeatedly exhorted the audience to shout the name of the alleged Ukraine whistleblower.
When/if things change, I’ll consider reweighing the probabilities.

At “Million MAGA March,” GOP Politicians Rally with Neo-Nazis, White Nationalists, Hate Groups (How to Fight Antisemitism, caution for blue text on yellow background)
Despite the overwhelming involvement and presence of these far-right groups and figures at the Million MAGA March, numerous Republican officials also promoted, attended, and spoke at the rally. The rally website, trumpmarch.com, provided a list event speakers, including: Reps. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Louie Gohmert (R-TX); Congresswoman-elect and antisemitic conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); Nazi-affiliated White House staffer Sebastian Gorka; Paris Dennard, the Republican Party’s Senior Communications Advisor for Black Media Affairs; and Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC.

From world wildlife Federation
We need to start looking into peanut butter and drones for covid vaccine distribution
In the Northern Great Plains, the black-footed ferret—North America’s rarest mammal—feeds almost exclusively on prairie dogs and depends on their burrows for shelter. But both species are susceptible to sylvatic plague, a fast-spreading bacterial disease that can decimate entire prairie dog colonies in just weeks.
To inoculate prairie dogs against the disease and ensure that black-footed ferrets have a reliable prey base, the University of Wisconsin and the United States Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center developed a peanut butter-flavored oral vaccine bait. The vaccine helps prairie dogs build immunity against the disease, which could significantly improve survival rates during plague outbreaks
Now WWF, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and drone product manufacturer Model Avionics have developed innovative ways to quickly and efficiently disseminate the bait. Using all-terrain vehicles, a multi-rotor drone, and a remote-controlled helicopter, the team is testing ways to drop bait across thousands of acres of prairie dog colonies.
