What the "fringe conspiracy" equivalent to "lame duck"?

The latest polls in Ohio, Colorado and Texas are looking better and better for the Democrats. The extreme rightwing Supreme Court has opened the flood gates to dark money in elections with their latest legislating from the bench about PAC funding (lack of) rules.

One thing that happened under her tenure was the press pool at the White House was changed. Fewer challenging questions, more fawning neo-conservative press credentials to fringe news outlets.

Probably overlapped time-wise with the resurrection of the KKK as well, racism, misogyny and homophobia all intertwine

... that he's wasting hundreds of millions of dollars putting up statues and monuments to himself? and we'll have to waste money pulling them down or converting them into something useful?

If felon President votes in the mid-term elections will there be a voter fraud investigation of him. Felons can't vote in Florida.

The US public may get confused with all the cease fires, and peace deals, and agreements to work towards a cease fire, the concepts of a plan for a possible cease fire in the near future etc. The US public isn't confused about gas prices. GasBuddy reports this is the first time in 25 years that gas prices at the pump have continued to be this high into August. With the Ukrainian invasion in Feb, 2021 there was an initial spike to $5 in gas prices, then they settled down to $3+ dollars by July/August. The Great Incompetent has $4+ gas prices for the foreseeable future.

Is it possible that Pete could be the first man fired from the Cabinet. A man. Sure he's thrown a bunch of women to the curb. But a man? He'll do it late at night via a tweet. Now that he's lost his Primary, maybe he'll make Mike Lindell the next Secretary of War.

Even steven, sounds fair.

He was talking about the food trucks.

Talk like that is going to have ICE at your door.

If this happened in a Democratic primary it'd be the Democrats who were complaining.

What an embarrassment for the voters in District 7.

Did you add the eyebrows in those photos?

I'm having a similar but opposite reaction to El-Sayed that I had with Tim Walz. The more I hear them speak, the less I want to hear them speak. For different reasons. I'm a MDE guy. Tim was too SDE and El-Sayed is too BDE for me. The El-Sayed message is clear, which is good. He'll need to be very clear to cut through the bullshit that is going to be thrown at him in truck loads. Confidence is very attractive, arrogance is not. On some visceral level at the back of our minds in casting our support for a male politician were considering "does this guy appeal to me?". Tim Walz - no. El Sayed - no. Chris Murphy - he's got a certain dad bod energy that is confident and not arrogant.

The Great Incompetent hugely endorsed Mike Lindell (My [face buried in a ] Pillow guy) and he went down in flames hugely. The endorsement was a huge failure. Huge failure. For all those people who were afraid to stand up to the weak little bully in (what's left of) the White House, time to reconsider your choices.

Lucy, Charlie Brown, football. It's a boomer reference.

Becerra has argued a number of complicated cases both in private practice and as Attorney General of California. For the most part, I agree with the higher profile cases that I've read about. He's going to be 72 in 2030 when the next Governor election is held. I'm hoping he'll be a one term Governor and promote the next generation of leadership. However, I also think that by 2030 a number of the "gerentocracy" of the Democrats (if not the Republicans) will have retired by then.

The Great Incompetent on climate change. What a moron. "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." Twitter, 6/10/12

You praise him too highly.

It's SO complicated. He doesn't do complicated. He's not smart that way. It's hard, and he's lazy.

The day after his confirmation Todd Blanche puts out a new policy memo (which lets be clear is opinion and not law) basically saying that conversations that the President has with non-governmental individuals is protected speech. Blanche is saying that the President's insider trading and selling favors is protected speech as long as it is with Saudi princes and tech billionaires, and not County Commissioners in Missouri. This will go to the Supreme Court as another delaying tactic for the eventual corruption hearings in 2027. Let's see how Cornyn, Tillis and Cassidy attempt to justify this blatant corruption coverup attempt. This extremist Court, that legislates from the bench, while Republicans adjourn all levels of government, could put this on the Shadow Docket.

Someone has had their Geritol shot. A fresh new tranche of lazy conspiracy clips.
