McConnell''s "play by my rules or I'll turn into a dick" gambit

I assume the "warning shots" he's firing about his "scorched earth" wet dream are for the benefit of anyone who hasn't followed his career up to this point.

He STILL THINKS HE IS THE MAJORITY LEADER. the "grim reaper," and that he's calling the shots.

We really, really, really need to put forth a Herculean effort in 2022 to turn out the vote and KEEP HIM as MINORITY "leader."

Finally got my $1200 "stimulus check" today.

Originally...via the IRS "Where's My Payment" site...I was told a check had been mailed.

Then I got the Trump form letter telling me my prepaid debit card had been mailed.

Neither of these things happened. I don't know if they were lost, stolen in the mail, I got nothing.

My accountant filed my taxes, and the $1080 check ($1200 minus the 2020 taxes I owed) came today.

A big deal on one hand, maybe not that big of a deal on the other, but my way of thinking is that I was every bit as entitled to that money as every other American who received it, so this feels right. It's always a good day when the things that should happen DO happen.

MAGAt PARADE! ONE guy welcomes Trump on his triumphant return to New York. ONE.



Former President Donald Trump was spotted outside Trump Tower Sunday night in his first visit back to the Big Apple since leaving office.

Trump pulled up to the Midtown skyscraper where he stays while in Manhattan just before 9 p.m.

He was seated in the backseat of a black SUV. Upon his arrival, he waved to a lone supporter who was across the street next to the media.

The NYPD last month began removing some of the barriers in front of Trump Tower, which were erected four years ago when Trump entered the White House.

The GOP crazy machine is cranked to 11.

I'm sure you've been seeing it, I don't want to post any of it because it's just too insane.

Cliffs Notes version is they're looking for ways to get Trump back into the system, and they are going to double down on every crazy talking point they have, including "cancel culture."

All I can say is that anyone who can read knows what's coming, they are absolutely telegraphing their punches, and we have two years to prepare for it and defeat it.

SO sad! Some "Fox News Insiders" are not pleased with the hiring of Kayliegh Whackadoodle.

“It is my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh Mcenany to the Fox family,” anchor Harris Faulkner said Tuesday morning after wrapping an on-air interview with the former Trump flack. “We will be seeing much more of her in the future.”

Fox News did not respond when asked for comment.

The addition of a known and frequent liar to the Fox News roster set off some alarms within a newsroom that has been “purged” in recent months in favor of right-wing opinion programming and content geared towards keeping a diehard MAGA audience satisfied.

“It’s truly disgusting they fired hard-working journalists who did care about facts and news reporting only to turn around and hire a mini-Goebbels whose incessant lies from the White House helped incite an insurrection on our democracy that got five people killed, including a police officer,” a Fox News insider raged to The Daily Beast. “Post-Trump Fox is quickly becoming a very scary place and quite dangerous for our democracy. It’s not even conservative news anymore. They’ve plunged into an alternate reality where extremist propaganda is the only course on the menu.”

Trump at CPAC sealed the deal, there really IS no turning back.

Of course, you could say January 6th was the deal breaker, or McConnell saying he'd "certainly" support Trump as the candidate in 2024.

Mission Accomplished, Cheetolini. We now have the Democratic Party, and the Party of Trump. The Republican Party no longer exists, and the majority of Congress members who are NOT on the "Trump train" are STILL top frigging terrified to stand up and purge him.

REGARDLESS of whether he runs, it will be Biden (if he chooses to run for a second term) versus Trumpism.

And my feeling is that the voters who turned out in 2020 will turn out again, and this time they'll bring friends. America knows what this clown, in person or by proxy, would do in the Oval Office. It's not going to happen.
