Walking a fine line:

Anna Paulina Luna, a far-right extremist and QAnon Florida rep in Congress who 'accosted VP Kamala Harris at an airport, claimed she didn’t care about trafficking and child rape; appeared on a QAnon program, praising the hosts; and claimed the LGBTQ+ community is being used to make pedophilia acceptable' says "everything is fine." The far right controls congress. Everything will never be fine until they don't. Jordan is not conceding. BARRRRF!

Well I wonder why? I am Canadian and compiled the Russian contacts from 2015 into the POS presidency... and right up until 2023 and now... 2024. The new GOP/RWNJ strategy is to embrace it and make Russia seem tame and the good guy in the Fox viewers eyes... and it has WORKED.
The Republican’s chief Hunter informant has ties to Russian intelligence
Indicted Biden accuser had 'extensive' contacts with Russian intel, prosecutors say
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/02/20/hunter-biden-accuser-smirnov-russia-intelligence/72676162007/
Prosecutors requested he remain incarcerated, but Smirnov was released by Judge Daniel Albregts with conditions that included GPS monitoring and surrendering two passports. He is a freaking SPY! He likely has a SDB full of them. There may have been some underhandedness here, being Smirnov was a huge flight risk and letting him flee the country meant he would not be available for questioning about his false testimony and Bill Barr and many others who were deeply involved in this lie.
Although a little tinfoil hattery, it is wise to at least think this is possible, given the evil that is tRUMP and his beloved Dictators and evil, powerful strong men. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/21/2224706/-Some-odd-things-about-the-Russian-Israeli-indicted-in-the-Hunter-Biden-case
Here's the thing...
Giuliani associate Lev Parnas told FBI in 2019 Biden informant not to be trusted
"The FBI had my communications with the CEO of Burisma since my arrest in 2019," he posted online. "The GOP received my communications with the CEO of Burisma during the first Trump impeachment in 2020. They all knew that the 1023 from Alexander Smirnov was a lie. Why did they continue this farce for so long?"
"Jim Jordan, Chuck Grassley and James Comer were either duped by Smirnov and the Kremlin, or they were in on it. Either way, DOJ must subpoena every single communication Jordan, Grassley and Comer had with or about Smirnov and anything related. Immediately. TONIGHT."
R Republican Rep Buck agrees...

If that doesn't work to keep people enthralled, the FEMA camps are back!

Ari Melber on GOP's antics: secret meetings, power grabs, tryng to "king" tRUMP and disavow Haley and voters in a discussion with Former DNC Chair Howard Dean.
After Biden called tRUMP a loser TWICE and having the economy roaring into record breaking heights, tRUMP is rattled. In the change of course of merely pretending it is Biden that has dementia, tRUMP has been both telling on himself (wishing for the economy to crash, calling for the kibosh of immigration reforms and border tightening so he can take credit for it in future) AND is *unravelling in his rambling rally speeches... *more than usual, that is.
This might have been doctored a bit to match reality
You know what causes a border crisis to worsen? Asshole RW leaders of a country declaring that the border is "open" for political points and worldwide, people are rushing to take advantage of this invitation! Then, have a former president declare nothing should be done because it is his biggest campaign selling point and he wants credit! (Even though he did little other than bluster and have his followers shout back "Mexico" when asked who would pay for the non-existent wall when he could have done so much more)
His violent followers have a plan! 700k militia and veterans coming to protect the border this week at 3 locations! Keith Self, Texas Congress Rep, Lt Colonel, Army (Ret), 25 years. County Judge, 12 years. "christian," husband, Jan 6 and stop the steal proponent, AND border convoy MAGA asshole who loves killer razor wire. So... the former "judge" wants people to disobey the law and a SCOTUS order. He is also an ASSociate of Flynn AND an Ass like Flynn.
No? how about 400K ? NO? How about 7k at one location? 1K? So far a few people from "god's Army" have come to witness for themselves how entangled and bloody and messy the situation is.
Perhaps they will witness some death or cause it as well. Praise the lord... (Militias may still be arriving with full "kit" and lots of ammunition as of Feb 3. We shall see...)
100% of anyone coming will be immigrant decendants.
And there is always the well-worn "solution" they declare when frustrated!
‘God’s army’ promised to bring 700,000 trucks to the border. They’re 699,950 short

Helpful Giuliani insisting what tRUMP did to E. Jean Carroll was sexual assault, not rape. It reminds me of alan Dershowitz, who said teen girls age of consent needs to be lower... in defense of Epstein. (And likely himself being he said so in an OpEd long ago... UGH!)

Trump argues that he doesn’t have dementia because his uncle taught at MIT - uses his usual bigoted othering racehorse genes are best schitck.
Here is a Howard Stern Show clip where Diaper Don Senior and Junior and dotter failed to do a simple multiplication of 17 By 6 in 2006. 18 years later he lies and says the cognitive test asked him to do this math in his head: “Then it’s multiply 3,293 times four, divide by 3.

Loony 'Nostril-Damus' Loomer can only make news by being a bitch, but I refuse to cheer for fart smeller Jenna.
A federal judge unsealed the names of nearly 200 "Does" affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein.
Based on an analysis of court records, Donald Trump is Doe 174.
Trump may have fought to keep his name redacted in the documents before the judge unsealed it.

The man is a freaking wreck and yet his minions adore him. That says so much about them as well.
I don't think Habba made that statement about Kavanaugh on her own. I'm betting Trump put her up to it. That guy is expecting quid pro quo.
UPDATE 20
MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas continues his investigation on Epstein/tRUMP on a barely 20 year old female that tRUMP ensconced in a private NY apartment in 1997.
Alina Habba, tRUMP's attorney, said SCOTUS will rule in his favor as it is a "slam dunk" and reminds that tRUMP "went through hell" to get Kavanaugh on the bench. Sounds like an admission of expecting quid Pro quo for bribery similar to his absolved debts and "free" home remodel.
Nikki has figured out she can run on "I am not tRUMP" amd "I will pardon Trump."
Dan Scavino, tRUMP's former caddy and now loyal servant and social media asshole, seems to have been squealing on tRUMP in his testimony to Jack Smith. He says he was the one who wrote that the MAGA crowd should remain peaceful... and when told Pence was in danger he said "so what."
After saying he wants to place a protective dome over America (WTF)
and saying he knows for certain magnets do not work if you pour a glass of water on them...
(WTAF?) tRUMP discusses his future energy policy thusly:
MAGA "Martyr"Ashli Babbitt's Husband Sues Government
I am sure he is hoping that we have forgotten he and his wife also liked 3somes... that he was living with the other woman when reporters came aknocking after Ashli was shot and, that her former husband, McEntee, filed for divorce from her in 2018. Just how long had the Babbts been married? The POS is asking for 30 million...
I guess her "estate" got a fancy lawyer paid for by the same idiot MAGA minions who assured Kyle Rittenhouse went free. *Checks* ... yep... as of Jan 2022 Judicial Watch already raised $375,000.
(The group she went to Washington with are the QAnon cult of which there were thousands)

Holy f'ing hell. This happened to me when I was young. It was a 'spontaneous abortion'... a medical term which means your body is rejecting the pregnancy. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I talked to a doc and he examined me and then scheduled a D&C. The nurse who turned her in must be a fake "christian" loon!

Yeeeesh! Bitch is vying for the tRUMP spokeswoman position...
UPDATE 17 Abbot Court-ordered Again to Remove Killer Barrier
Moved this as the ad troll was on the original
Thanks to @Snake DeGrasse
I previously uploaded this video in the main post, but am not sure how many people saw it. The press keep referring to them as border barriers or as Texas border buoy barriers. What few reports have noted is that they are meant to physically harm humans, not just to keep them out. This video clearly shows that a sharp metal blade has been placed in between each buoy. It was taken the day before body found impaled on one of them.
Sounds good right? It does until you read that Abbot was ordered bu the DOJ to remove them in July. and a lower court already ordered their removal.
Biden had to sue...
Meanwhile, those and other razor-wired barriers have maimed, trapped and injured many: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-border-migrants-water-pushed-rio-grande_n_64b5ffbee4b09a3b488e8499
Abbot is the perfect example of the Republican motto.... that cruelty is the point. https://www.expressnews.com/politics/texas/article/border-trooper-migrants-wire-18205076.php
It rather amazes me that people were shocked and called their reps after seeing a fake video of a CBP agent on a horse seemingly attempting to whip an immigrant, but actual death and slicing into flesh was not causing the same outcry. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/08/patrol-agents-on-horseback-did-not-whip-migrants-but-used-forced-and-inappropriate-language-investigators-say-00044763

Trump Pledges to Fire Military Leadership if He Regains Power
That wedges very nicely into Tuberville caving on allowing the go agead of most military promotions, but not top generals. He is telling his faithful partisan Mike Flynn clones to not make a fuss, to help make sure he is voted in ... and perhaps even pledge loyalty to him as Flynn has done. (How can you NOT speculate about his motives? Most of the military voted for the creep and several former generals will be happy to give him MAGA names to fill spots.)

Dozens of Troops Suspected of Advocating Overthrow of US Government
An annual Pentagon report on extremism within the ranks revealed that more than 10 dozen were either "advocating for the overthrow of the U.S. government or suspected of engaging or supporting terrorism." I suspect that the military being a majority of pro MAGA means those number are more like 250k+ and that, even though they took an oath to defend against terrorists foreign AND domentic, they will vote for the stochastic terrorist for a third time. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/12/01/dozens-of-troops-suspected-of-advocating-overthrow-of-us-government-new-pentagon-extremism-report.html
UPDATE 15
This does not belong in the long trial info post, but felt it did belong in the "WTF is wrong with you" post...
As the civil New York tRUMP finanical trial continues today, a supposed "expert witness" took the stand. His phone tang while on the stand and instead of turning it off and apologizingm he answered the call from his Dad. Even worse, the judge did not admonish him or send him out for contempt of his court, being there are numerous signs and announcements to turn then off before court is in session.
Everything tRUMP touches dies... including the civility and decorum in the courtroom and as we are seeing far too often, even the laws judges themselves.
What the fiasco did do was to have reporters look him up. He is an "expert" witness because of his sales of residential Palm Beach properties. The high school dropout, we learned, has made a bundle off of rich people who like to overinflate their own values and property values.
The problem is that Maralago cannot be subdivided to give it the 1 billion dollars he said he could sell it for.... to Elon Musk. tRUMP signed away the tight to development when he negotiated to live in it. Perhaps this sleazy real estate agent is not an expert that should be listened to at all, given his assessment bears no relevance to Maralgo...
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D) wrote that if Trump claims a $1b value for Maralago, he should be taxed accordingly at approximately $18m.
If this fiasco ends up influencing the judge, it would be another win for Teflon "diaper" Don.
PS: The WIX admins have decided to put back a colour palette to choose from again. I had to do it manually for each post before so YAY! The only problem is every time they take away or add something, the site becomes a wreck. Today, when I signed in the site lingered telling me this page is not available... and to refresh. I got a 505 when I tried to access my profile, and it took 5 refreshes to access any pictures... even avatars. The forum is already hardly used... (I feel so lonesome) and hard to use, dammit.

In that same speech:
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trump-suffers-another-major-cognitive-episode-in-new-hampshire-rally

If I happen to be president, and I see somebody who is doing well and beating me very badly, I'll say, 'go down and indict them.'

That the smarmy GQP refuse to rid themselves of the slimy creatures they attract and then vote in to represent the worst of themselves is bad enough, but to vote to keep this lying and corrupt creep to assure their majority is the epitome of sleeziness!

UPDATE 9
(Actually an update on update 8)
Does New Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Have a Bank Account?
This is beyond weird and fishy! Just WHERE is the speaker keeping his money? Is it in a place where his "assets" (AKA possible kickbacks from oligarchs/Leo Leonard/crooks) might be easily hidden? How can a married man with children possibly have less than 1k in the bank? And supposedly for the entire 7 years he has been in Congress??
As a person who has owned her own home since the age of 23, I know you better damn well now have 10k readily available for home repairs/emergencies or you are are screwing your future self. And I never made more than a third of what the speaker made in the last years of work and bring in 1/8 as a retired person. I cannot fathom that such a dolt would be in charge of the countries purse strings let alone be considered a responsible house owner and family man!
What Speaker Johnson has exposed here is that he is either a liar or irresponsible with money...
Matt Gaetz defends new speaker after reports of odd financial disclosures
Ethically devoid Gaetz thinks that a Congressman's questionable financial acuity and ethics means he is not corruptable.
Matt Gaetz et al, were they not born into white privilege and money...
Almost forgot to add this pathetic fake religious activist Rick Green saying he is "literally in tears" that Mike Johnson was been elected Speaker as "this is one of our guys." UGH! Yes, he is one of the bad guys who pretend they are the good guys, who hide behind their bible... "Biblical worldview" and "Biblical truth" my ass!

Mike Johnson Adopted Black Son
ICYMI, Mike Johnson is bragging about how deeply non racist he is because of his adopted black son... who somehow has not been in any recent pictures. There is only one problem... he did not adopt him legally to avoid all of that damned paperwork ... NYT
The not-adopted not-son of Johnson is 40 now and wants nothing to do with not-dad's politically fame. Whether there will be a forthcoming statement is unlikely as he has his own family and may stay silent as he did in the 2 previous times he was invoked by Johnson.
Oddly, Johnson insists that his not-adopted not-son requested he not be included in any of the family pictures or bio on his campaign/political websites. So, why then did he invoke not-adopted not-son twice in the past if he is following his not-adopted not-son's wishes for privacy?
UPDATE 7
George Santos, facing new federal charges, pleaded NOT guilty in court again today. He had his Trial date set for Sept 9, 2024...
Speaker Johnson required by the Rules of the House to hold a vote to expel Santos when Congress reconvenes next week... but Johnson has already said it is not a fait de complis because he likes their majority vote. The last time they took a vote on Santos, it was sent to the GQP lead "ethics" committee to decide. All in all a joke, because GQP ethics are non existent.
The newest GOP weasel to hold the speaker's gavel is just so much worse than we may have thought. It is as though Roger Stone and tRUMP had a baby... WaPo breaks down the Mike Johnson /Hannity interview:
1. Guns are not the problem in mass killings. Nor mental health. It is the human heart, not the weapon. UGH! Mike's solution for the mass killings:
2. Same-sex marriage is ‘the law of the land’ and then added the times he has used religion to denigrate gay people. He basically says he has to be, as he is a "religious liberty defense lawyer" who had been called upon to defend state amendments in court. But it is all okay because he "loves everyone."
3. Putin can’t be allowed to prevail in Ukraine, he says, while recently voting against further aid. He says he would consider voting for aid if it was in a separate package from Isreali aid.
4. Biden ‘very likely’ committed impeachable offenses, says this supposed constitutional lawyer, without evidence!
No it is not, you boob. After being pummelled with debunkings and humiliation at the impeachment inquiry, Comer has not discussed it other than on FOX...
5. A stopgap funding bill would have ‘certain conditions’ and proposed a continuing resolution, to fund the government until Jan. 15 or April 15. Matt Gaetz and his icky ilk are just fine with that, even though they had McCarthy ousted for doing just that.
I am already convinced this guy is a weasel and working for his weird religious group and and not the American people... and even more of a prick than most of his predecessors.
His wife could not attend his cermony of the gavel because she was roo exhausted from being on her knees for hours... assuring his victory would be ordained by God...
Under this video are many MAGA morons saying they totally understood that by calling Hezbollah smart, it was not a compliment. (I guess it is only a compliment when he calls himself smart when he didn't pay his taxes or calls himself smart?)

“Trust me, I'm like a smart person”
About not paying taxes: 'That makes me smart'
“I went to the best schools. I'm, like, a smart person”
"I always told people, you know I'm a very smart guy. I got good marks."
"I'm a very smart guy. I went to the best college; had good marks, I was a very smart guy, good student all that stuff, okay... "
"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart”.
"You know Im like a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing and the same words every single day for the next eight years," as he disses intelligence briefings...
“You have to keep great people around you,” Trump said. “You have to motivate them. You always have to be on top of them. And you have to be smarter than they are. I hear so many times, ‘Oh, I want my people to be smarter than I am.’ It’s a lot of crap. You want to be smarter than your people, if possible”
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-trump-called-smart-six-times-before/story

Update in the Speaker fiasco:
After losing the 2nd vote AND losing supporters yesterday, Jordon said he would take a little break but would not step down, but today, Reps discussed giving the temporary speaker more power. That fizzled out as the far right Reps said it was pandering to Dems and never went to a vote, so under pressure, Jordon said he would speak to his wife! (To see if she can endure the humiliation and stay with him? Just asking, being he didn't specify)
Jordan, “I’m still running for speaker, and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race.” and he will likely face the same humuliation tomorrow.
The Bully has unleashed the MAGA bullies (See more in UPDATE 1)

I meant to add this yesterday.
There is no way Jordan should ever be that close to the presidency a past is so sordid and corrupt. As Marcie Wheeler points out, his actions paint a vindictive and corrupt future as well.
