That pic of Jenna Ellis- "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr De Mille!" smile. Does she have any idea about the trouble she's in? And my wife is laughing over Giulani's pic.

She does.  She begged Trump to pay her lawyers and he told her to fuck off, so now she wants the other GOP candidates to drop out of the race so the RNC has enough money left over to pay her lawyers.

Asked About Abortion, Ron DeSantis Tells Bizarre Story About a Fetus in a Pan

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® answered a question about abortion by spinning up this little tale: “I know a lady in Florida named Penny. She survived multiple abortion attempts. She was left discarded in a pan,” he said. “Fortunately, her grandmother saved her and brought her to a different hospital.”

DeSantis, who’s trailing former President Trump by about 40 points, continued, “We’re better than what the Democrats are selling. We are not going to allow abortion all the way up til birth, and we will hold them accountable for their extremism.”

So, to be extremely clear: Abortion all the way up to birth isn’t a thing. And DeSantis’ desperate “abortion survivor” bullshit—an obvious gag for attention at a debate that saw Vivek Ramaswamy talk all over him—draws from the usual Republican nonsense about imagined “late-term” abortions targeting born, living infants. DeSantis and Republicans rely on these baseless talking points because they know abortion rights are popular, and all they can do is obfuscate, confuse, and lie.

I would watch presidential debates if such a thing existed. These podium-heavy dog and pony shows aren't debates.

It was pretty good. The wife and I got a bottle and played a drinking game.

That's why we have to stop them. Used to be there was just one Mexico, but now, we have to prevent water mexicans from finland from invading our shores through our open borders.

Damned Finns - sneaking into your country, taking all those sweet lettuce-harvesting jobs, marrying your wimminfolk…

Undercover With the New Alt-Right

For 11 months, I pretended to be a far-right extremist. I discovered a radical youth movement trying to infiltrate the Republican Party.

I attended more than a dozen extremist and conspiracy events and went to ostensibly mainstream Republican conferences, including the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, the annual gathering of Republican activists, politicians, and hopefuls, and Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit, and witnessed a radical youth movement trying to take over the GOP. Like a parasitic pilot fish, a robust fascist community follows the big Republican events into every town. They host shadow parties, receptions, and speeches as they work to recruit new members. The conservative establishment benefits from the presence of these farther-right gatherings; the extremists are often younger, well-dressed, and social-media savvy. While the more mainstream GOP organizations occasionally ban the most overt racists from a featured event, their attempts often feel half-hearted, and there are always other extremists who step up and fill the role as intermediaries between the white nationalists and normie conservatives.

Some of the neo-Nazis and fascists I met undercover in 2020 are working as congressional campaign staffers and helping to form congressional caucuses. They are meeting with leaders of far-right political parties in Italy and Hungary. They are leaders in their local Young Republican organizations. They have access to elected GOP officials at the national and local level.
