Whoa! Did Mike Johnson suddenly find his spine, and realize he is Speaker of the entire House???

Perhaps he was rushing to a cocaine orgy: Newseek: Madison Cawthorn Crashes Into Florida State Trooper's Car—Video

He was holding out for a mask that was "Nine-Nine-point-Nine" percent effective, but none met his requirements. :-(

L. Ron Hoover is going to be mighty upset!

It's all about religious freedom; The GOP is sponsoring these bills at the behest of The First Church of Appliantology.

In December there were a flurry of news articles here in CO about dismal USPS service in the CO mountain towns. Staff shortages seem to be the root cause. e.g. CBS News: USPS Inspector General: Colorado mountain towns have worse delivery than rest of state, country Latest idea is to ship all Western CO mail to Denver for sorting, which would mean delays: CO Sun: Postal Service floats idea of driving Western Slope mail to Denver and back before delivery

My best chuckle yesterday on another forum arguing this topic: "Apparently, Hunter's laptop is some sort of Rosetta stone for true conservatives."

They don't even vote for their own interests; They vote against their own interests, after listening to the GOP politicians who have no actual platform or policy, and just bang on and on about a fictional culture war to agitate their followers. Need proof the GOP has no platform? Just go read the 2020 GOP Platform. Go ahead; I'll wait. Funny thing is there are actual issues that are considered "left wing" that some on the extreme right agree with: <REDACTED> supports legal access to abortion, in part because he believes it would reduce the number of black and Hispanic people, which he says would be a "great boon" to white people. <REDACTED> also supports a national single-payer health care system because he believes it would benefit white people. Guess who? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Spencer#Health_care But of course the GOP won't support either, because the former would upset the bible-thumpers, and the latter would upset the billionaire donors.

HuffPo: Police Report: Trump County Chair Threatened To Rape Boss's Wife, Then Kill Him One of Donald Trump’s county campaign chairs in New Hampshire lost his job as a police officer after threatening to kill his colleagues in a shooting spree, murder the department chief and rape the chief’s wife in retaliation for his suspension over his relationship with a high school girl, according to a newly released report from an internal affairs investigation. I hope he can still take her to the prom! Stone has remained in Trump’s camp since. Trump named him one of his 14 New Hampshire county and city chairs last June and praised him from the stage during a rally in Claremont five months later. Only the best people!

Last night's letter from Heather Cox Richardson goes into the history of the AZ law, and it is incredible: Heather Cox Richardson - Letters from an American - April 9, 2024

A non-scumbag, (who just resigned), makes some choice comments about a scumbag still in office: MTN: Fmr. GOP Rep Buck Calls Greene: 'Moscow Marjorie'

Omigawd! Carnegie was a Commie!!!

Newsweek: Letitia James to Begin Claiming Donald Trump's Properties She's going to grab him by the properties; Because when you're Attorney General, they let you do that.

Indiana provides an example of unintended consequences: ‘Severely decreased their sexual intimacy with their husbands’: Indiana appeals court uses Mike Pence’s religious liberty law to block abortion ban

This morning, this title just put a smile on my face: Jalopnik: Elon's Offering, But Automakers Aren’t Interested In Licensing Tesla’s Full Self-Driving System

I will argue that the biggest things damping Tesla sales are: 1. Tesla lying about range. 2. Tesla lying about capabilities of "Autopilot", (and Elmo making annual announcement that FSD will be here in "a few months", for ten years running). 3. Elmo being a gigantic all-around asshole. There is no way in hell I will ever own a Tesla as long as Elmo has any control over it.

But a much better strategy is give up the "my team" mindset and just cast your vote for the candidate who is best for the country. Tying your identity to a political party is just ridiculous.

Ukraine has apparently drawn inspiration from Mathias Rust. Forbes: Ukraine Packed A Cessna-Style Plane With Explosives, Added Remote Controls And Kamikaze’d It Into A Russian Drone Factory 600 Miles Away

More voter fraud found! GOP official who insisted the 2020 election was stolen voted illegally 9 times while on probation for forging checks: Judge

CO GOP has annoited its chosen one to replace Ken Buck, and it isn't Bobo. He must have been picked based on his lengthy rap sheet, (described in the article): CO Sun: Greg Lopez selected as Republican nominee for special election in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District to replace Ken Buck Expect hissy fit from Bobo in 3...2...1...

Now here is a story you don't see every day: Plans to re-open a closed plant! Michigan nuclear plant aims to be first ever to reopen in US

And the marks keep sending him money: NYT: How Trump Moved Money to Pay $100 Million in Legal Bills The remarkable sum means that Mr. Trump has averaged more than $90,000 a day in legal-related costs for more than three years — none of it paid for with his own money. Do you think the fool has ever considered how much more money he would have if he just stopped committing crimes, so he didn't need to spend it all on lawyers?

Well, there is Cheech Marin, "Born in East L.A."(1987).

Kari Lake Surrenders in Defamation Lawsuit Kari Lake has filed a motion today conceding that she is liable in a defamation lawsuit filed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.... Lake has asked that the case immediately proceed to the damages phase of the case to have the jury determine how much she has to pay. What??? Admitting fault is not the MAGA way!!!
