2024 Primary Elections.

Well, we did start off with the guy who promised he was better than trump and is really trying his best to be worse. As long as RFK says he doesn't rape people, is pro-choice, likes gays, will return us to pre-trump taxes on the rich, won't keep kids in cages, didn't rape a bitch, is mentally fit for office, promises he is physically healthy despite visually having the physique of chopped spam in a bag, is a democrat, isn't a religious nutbar, isn't a racist, is working for the people, and cares about us more than money the dems will believe him without ever looking at his past actions or investigating him one little bit.

How is it that we are holding george santos accountable for being a compulsive liar and both Biden and Trump are free men?

I wonder if FF likes him

You all know me, and I hate the man, but here is some good footage of Joe Biden fighting to get the reps to up the debt ceiling. I hope this means he will force them to a clean raise along with beating back their narratives that they are doing something real in opposition to him.

I will say this was great on how he put the blame squarely on them and called them out on their bullshit while emphasizing he has actually lowered the deficit and the debt ceiling is not the deficit.

I will hedge this by saying this is important to him because he wants his banker friends to get paid and that is the only thing he is willing to fight so hard for, but it is something that needs to be done. Thank you to whoever put some stimmies in his fiber today.

RFK, Jr will be there:

Sounds like DeathSantis is a week or so away from announcing.

Chris Christie Says Trump Town Hall Audience Had ‘Same Faces’ From 2016 Primary: CNN ‘Went in the Tank’ to Get Former President (Video)

Was Jets’ owner (and big donor) Woody Johnson at Trump CNN event?

It is a cult with 70 million americans in it. It is ijteresting that with deep fakes they could jonestown the whole group of them so easily as an actual mind virus. Let us hope no truly evil person ever tries to actually use technology to kill the trump virus. Hopes and prayers on that one for sure.

I remember the TNG episode where the video game mind controlled everyone. really all you need is donald trump to get a good chunk of people to give over control.

Well, there’s an election today and the Republicans have lost two races.

So looks like Youngkin might be getting into the race.

This morning he release a pretty presidential looking hype video including some of the required homages to our military.

One tiny itsy-bitsy problem though:





(Hints: It says ‘Typhoon’ on the tail and has the roundel of the Aeronautica Militare on the fuselage.)

Damn, linoleum doesn't deserve that.

Asbestos, however...

Hey, it's Italian and not Russian! That's a change.

Oh, come on. Asbestos is at least honest that it wants to kill you...

Yeah, so this is bad.

Ron DeSantis Is Giving Away Florida Pension Money to Wall Street Donors

I know, I know, it's a terrible source, but forget that, forget that it talks about DeSantis or any other particular politician as being the one doing it. Think about what this means. It means that Wall Street types know that they can give money to politicians and then have massive amounts of government money funneled their way. You see the problem with this, right? Because we all know from reading the crypto thread that some sleazy mother fuckers give a lot of money to politicians to give them cover. Now, what happens when the politicians start giving that money back? How much more fuckery do we see arise? What happens when a pension fund implodes because all the money in it was invested in selling NFTs of plots of land that turned out to be a smudge on an image and not the "New Eden" we were all promised?

Guess who’s also pals with Lev Parnas?

Senator Tim Scott announced that he’s running for president.

Oh, wow, this guy's a pistol!

Reporter Recalls Asking Tim Scott If He’s a Virgin as Senator Announces 2024 Bid

WTF would dude ask such a thing? Because Scott had said that he was "saving himself for marriage." He's still single, BTW.

Somebody doesn't know how letters work.

Remember that DeSantis had the Florida legislature pass a law to keep his travel records secret?

Well Jack Sweeney - the guy who Musk kicked off Twitter (he's since been allowed back) for "stalking" him - has set up @DeSantisJet to track the guy's private jet flights - time delayed 24 hours to comply with new rules Twitter brought in after Musk got in a snit. Since it uses public FAA records, it's a good workaround to DeSantis' paranoid law.

Vulnerable House Republicans Worried About ‘Trump Drag’ on Ticket Repeating 2022 Midterm Losses: Report

Leaked Audio From a Ron DeSantis Donor Event Is Really Bad News for His Campaign

You really don't want to read the article. Because if you do, you'll discover that Ron-o-Rama is a thing. There, I've just scarred you for life. Are you happy now? Do you want to know the other horrors that lurk in the article? Or are you content enough to say, "Nope! I've seen enough. I'm afraid that if I keep reading, I'll find out who ate the cookie."?

Good job it's paywalled then, or I might have been able to read it.

‘Demeaning’ Marianne Williamson Has Staff Running for the Exits

The stuff about her current campaign is sorta mixed with the previous one, so be warned.

Republicans are spending millions on turnout operations that are deeply flawed, insiders say

I'm shocked -- shocked! -- that Republican campaigns are full of grifters who are only in it for themselves.

DeSantis has a preacher problem.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/06/ron-desantis-pastor-says-gay-people-should-be-put-to-death/

I'm sure the people who screamed their throats bloody over Obama's "radical" black preacher....will be absolutely fucking silent.

How is that a problem for DeSantis voters?
