In a the latest news that does a hat trick of dipping into Face Eating Leopards, Broken Clocks going on about Cancelling, and a bit of MAGA Death Cult, a Fox News reporter cries about Fox News censoring her in a bid to promote Project Veritas of all things. Apparently the thing Fox put the kibosh on was her trying to promote the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine on Covid. In 2021. Months after we have a free, I repeat, FREE vaccine. And here she is trying to peddle that snake oil again.

Michael Cohen, longtime lawyer of Trump, recalls that at one point there was a real chance that Trump’s kids might go to prison. So if the circumstance did come to pass he offered up Jr. as the fall guy so Ivanka wouldn’t go to prison.
 
I mean, we all knew Trump’s (often creepy) favoritism to his daughter, but damn. There’s been a lot of speculation on when (not if) Trump throws his kids under the bus if (not when) daddy’s legal troubles actually go anywhere. If they do then it’s sure gonna suck to be Dumb and Dumber.

The 21 Representatives who voted no were:
Andy Biggs, Arizona
Lauren Boebert, Colorado
Michael Cloud, Texas
Andrew Clyde, Georgia
Warren Davidson, Ohio
Matt Gaetz, Florida
Louie Gohmert, Texas
Bob Good, Virginia
Paul Gosar, Arizona
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia
Andy Harris, Maryland
Jody Hice, Georgia
Thomas Massie, Kentucky
Mary Miller, Illinois
Barry Moore, Alabama
Ralph Norman, South Carolina
Scott Perry, Pennsylvania
John Rose, Tennessee
Matt Rosendale, Montana
Chip Roy, Texas
Greg Steube, Florida
And yes, every one of them are Republicans. And yes, every one of them are basically a who’s who of Trump brown-nosers. So it’s no surprise why they think people who protected our democracy (eventually…) don’t deserve commendation. Massie in particular took some extra offense at how mean it is to call Y’all Qaeda’s inbred cries to hang the VP and overthrow democracy an “insurrection”.
“Back The Blue”.
 
Of course these three are on this list.

Honest question but does anyone in the Trump family (aside from Baron since he’s just a kid) actually love eachother?

They literally make each other sign non-disclosures before they’ll even talk or have dinner together, and spend most of their lives making money off of suing the pants off of each other.

I’m pretty sure yes.
 
I’m pretty sure the kids love each other and their parents. It’s when Daddy himself is factored in where things get complicated.
 
It’s clear all of Trump’s wives hate him. And from his constant cheating he at best doesn’t care much for them either. As for his children, well, I do get the impression he loves them. But he just happens to love himself more, so they’re safe as long as nothing happens that makes daddy choose between his own interests or his children. Shoot, the guy almost disowned Jr because he wanted to join the military, and Sr did not want his reputation besmirched for having a son who was a “loser” or “sucker”.

I do sometimes get the impression that some of the kinds actually like each other. But some of them also seem to have the self-awareness and media smarts of drunk investment bankers. Like, when they’re making money together on something it’s all love and kisses, and as soon as someone loses a townhouse over a deal they’re like cornered badgers again.
 
… this is when I start to wonder if this is even on topic …

Well something definitely more on topic, a new report from Joe Manchin’s behind the scenes dealings (at the behest of his donor-owners) on saving the filibuster.
 
This includes attempts to sway a handful of GOP senators to vote yes on a Jan 6 investigation committee. Not because he wanted an investigation into the biggest attack on our democracy since…ever, but because he ‘wanted to remove the “far-left’s” biggest weapon against the filibuster.’
 
Well, egg on that dirtbag’s face because that commission failed. So he’s been scrambling trying to peddle the “bipartisan” lie while everyone is realizing how impotent the claim is.
 
Edit: The Juneteenth holiday bill has now passed the House. With a unanimous vote in the Senate and a 415-16 vote in the House (all 14 Nay votes and 2 no votes were by Republicans, natch) it now waits for the President to either sign or veto it.

Just slap a label that says: “contains hydroxychloroquine” on the vaccine so you can get these guys to get vaxxd already.
 
At this point you wanna be saying your vaxx is church-approved, endorsed by Jesus, is 10% holy water and 90% miracle.

“I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” Braddock said at one point in the conversation last week, according to the recording exclusively obtained by POLITICO. “That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f—ing speed bump in the road. She’s a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”

“I was very cordial. I extended my hand to shake his hand. He just stared at me. I asked if he was going to shake my hand, and he told me that he didn’t who know I was. So I introduced myself. I said that I was Officer Michael Fanone. That I was a DC Metropolitan Police officer who fought on January 6 to defend the Capitol and, as a result, I suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as a heart attack after having been tased numerous times at the base of my skull, as well as being severely beaten,” Fanone said. “At that point, the congressman turned away from me.”
Once the elevator doors opened, Fanone said, the congressman “ran as quickly as he could, like a coward.”
 
Reminder, Clyde was one of the Congressman photographed barricading the doors to keep out Y’all Qaeda.

I don’t yet have the clout to do this at any of my jobs, but if I’m ever a real big shot consultant I want to do the following:
 
I want to just walk into a meeting about growth and say “if anyone even mentions cost cutting or incentive packages I will hit them with a stick, and the beatings will continue until the meeting ends”.
 
I read an op ed from a wannabe analyst lamenting that employees are “turning down good incentives” to “hunt pay”.
 
10% off ones next Apple purchase doesn’t buy a house. Unless that incentive program is “we will pay your student loans” or “we will match your retirement contribution” it’s just a waste.

Democracy is fragile and shockingly easy to corrupt, weaken, and destroy.
 
Citizens become way too comfortable and lose interest in defending their system’s integrity and functionality causing it to turn into a messy shithole.

RNC slams Biden for meeting with Putin.
 
Mind you it was just a meeting between leaders. I don’t want America to have anything to do with a murdering despot like Putin, but him being the leader of a superpower means you can’t just ignore him like you can with, say, North Korea.
 
That and let’s address the elephant in the room. Trump spent 4 years being the biggest Japanese schoolgirl stereotype over Putin. Barely a month went by without the Republican president and god-king didn’t hope his Putin-sempai noticed him. Trump, on international television, routinely and habitually threw American intelligence agencies under the bus so he could side with Putin (RE: Helsinki). And not a peep from the flap-pin patriots of the party of Patriotism TM.
 
Shoot, just a couple days ago Tucker Carlson - high profile white supremacist and likely frontrunner for 2024’s Republican president hopeful - spent an entire segment accusing the FBI of instigating (not just inciting, outright organizing!) Y’all Qaeda’s inbred rebellion on America while repeatedly deferring to Putin’s opinion on the insurrection.

Good incentive example:
 
“You get 3.00$/hour pay, but we’ll fucking pay off your student debt, pay for your eventual funeral, your insurance, your pension, ​your utility bills, your taxes, your house, your mama’s house, your partner’s Masters degree, your honeymoon, your wedding, the safe delivery of your baby, your children’s education and we’ll give you the capital to do business or investment on the side, and a lot more.  
It’s all on the contract you can read it on your own time.
