Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) faces new and deepening questions in the so-called "Podiumgate" controversy, following a new report that she tried to alter records about an invoice for a $19,000 lectern she purchased with a state government credit card, according to the Associated Press.

"The Arkansas GOP paid for the lectern in September, but the words 'to be reimbursed' were only added later to the original invoice, records released this week show. The undated reimbursement note adds to weeks of scrutiny over the purchase, which has dominated political talk in Arkansas," reported Andrew DeMillo. "The Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the state for the purchase on Sept. 14, and Sanders’ office has called the use of a state credit card for the lectern an accounting error. Sanders’ office said it received the lectern in August."

Prior reports have indictated, however, that the reimbursement was only arranged after reporters started asking questions.

No word yet if he was offered a top position at the Trump Org for his efforts.

In other news, Trump seems to think Israel was invaded by hummus.

It's always something here in SC.

I remember when we lived there it was always something to do with Strom Thurman.  What a POS he was.

I see the Republicans have nominated Scalise for Speaker. This sets up an interesting, but admittedly far-fetched scenario.

Scalise is disliked - sometimes vehemently so - by at least 99 Republican and all Democratic House members. He needs 217 votes from the entire House to be elected. If just 5 Republicans cross the aisle and vote for the Democratic nominee (certain to be Hakeem Jeffries), you could end up with a Republican majority House led by a Democratic Speaker.

The odds of this happening are somewhere between ‘none’ and ‘have you lost your fucking mind, Boru?’, in no small part because any defecting Republicans would be almost guaranteed to lose their committee seats and their next election.

Fun to think about, though.

Hey remember when the GOP mocked Biden for slipping down some stairs and used that to prove Biden was unfit for office 





So when will I see the Fox News/ Daily Wire segment demanding he step down?

Well, there's one.   Buckle up.

I'm on my 18th time watching this and it's still funny.
