After acknowledging that US-supplied weapons have been used to kill civilians in Gaza, President Joe Biden said in a CNN to be aired Wednesday night that he would cut off the supply of American-made offensive weapons to Israel if Israel invades Rafah, the Washington Post reports.

“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers,” Biden said in the interview.  “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah–they haven’t gone in Rafah yet–if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities–that deal with that problem.”

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country. With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate [blah blah blah a bunch of bullshit] It is my request that Republicans vote for ‘THE MOTION TO TABLE.’ We WILL WIN BIG – AND IT WILL BE SOON!” posted fat former President Trump at 5:59 PM EDT on Wednesday, about 15 minutes after the vote to table had already passed.

Meaning, per usual, he already knew (or is that stupid) that the motion had been killed and belatedly acted publicly like the vast majority of the House Republican caucus had been obeying his orders.

“Today, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges against former Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott, 52, and her private attorney Stefanie Lynn Junttila, 42, also known as Stefanie Lambert, for allegedly permitting an unauthorized computer examiner access to voter data, including non-public voter information, concerning the 2020 General Election.”

“The Department contends that Scott intentionally disregarded numerous instructions from the Director of Elections, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, to present the Adams Township voting tabulator to an authorized vendor for maintenance and testing and withheld the tabulator until it was seized by Michigan State Police pursuant to a search warrant. The Department also alleges Lambert illicitly transmitted data from the Adams Township Electronic Poll Book concerning the 2020 General Election under the direction of Scott,” says a statement from the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office about more trouble for Lambert, who was indicted last summer along with two other “Stop the Steal” shitbags for possessing a stolen Dominion tabulator.

The US House of Representatives on Wednesday quickly voted to table white nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson. The final count was 359 to table with only 11 Republicans and 32 Dems a no, plus another 7 Dems present.

White nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday formally triggered the motion to vacate process against Jesus dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as revenge for his support for military aid to Ukraine and other sundry bullshit far-right grievances.

This was simply not fair to Wisconsin MAGA Congressman Glenn Grothman. It was like an amateur flag football team against the Chiefs, a puppy against Kristi Noem, a fudge sundae against Sarah Huckabee, Kristi Noem against a Fox News host. Just utter savagery on Jamie Raskin’s part.

This one NBC News story is pretty fucked up, sad, and another example of how goddamned stupid some domestic murderers can be. Minnesota man Dr Connor Bowman, 31, faces an absolute shit ton of circumstantial evidence indicating that he was responsible for August 20, 2023 poisoning death of his wife Betty, 32: Connor worked for a “poison control center for an extended period of time prior to his residency” according to a court document, had started contacting woman on dating app Bumble on August 29, had “brought up the large life insurance payout he received, using it to pay off student loan debt” in a conversation on the app, lied to another woman via the app about how long it had been since his wife had died, and had asked a female friend and some others “out for drinks two days after Betty’s death and appeared to be happy or at least indifferent to” losing his wife.

However probably what sticks out the most is this: Betty was hospitalized with colchicine toxicity on August 16 and passed away August 20th. On August 18th Connor googled whether “widow” was a “gender neutral” term. So on top of all this shit pointing at his consciousness of guilt – again it’s circumstantial and thus he’s only facing a second degree homicide charge – he had to go and do the “woke” thing when preemptively putting himself out on the dating market again. What a dick.

Disgraced former President Trump’s lawyers on Wednesday further murdered irony by urging a New York State Appeals court to expedite their challenge to the gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan in the criminal trial over the fat fuck’s 2016 election interference scam, ABC News reports.

Jordan and Comer actually look even more impotent when you stop to realize this is not just them trying to gin up some Fox News headlines and muddy the water politically but that it’s actually their brilliant plan to stop Cohen from testifying to a New York State court within the next week.

A new Quinnipiac University survey of Wisconsin voters finds President Joe Biden leading fat former President Trump 50 to 44 percent in the Cheesehead State, a lead that drops to Biden 40 – Trump 39 when Russian assets Robert F Kennedy Jr, Jill Stein, and Cornel West are added to the mix. Still no word yet on who the Libertarian candidate is supposed to be or why the hell these polls don’t just include “Generic Libertarian” as choice since it doesn’t ever really matter who they pick to run.

Incumbent Dem Senator Tammy Baldwin leads dipshit MAGA challenger Eric Hovde, who doesn’t know the Pledge of Allegiance and reportedly actually lives in California, by 54 to 42 percent.

A unknown number of juveniles recently pleaded guilty to murdering 10 individuals while driving around on an off-road vehicle at night last fall in a multi-night shooting spree that left Southwestern Pennsylvania horrified. WPXI reports the juveniles face $5,000 fines, 50 hours of community service and will have their hunting licenses revoked for multiple years for illegally killing so many deer.

Dog-killing South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem on Tuesday canceled her appearance on rodent-like “comedy” host Greg Gutfeld’s nightly Fox News show, citing a snowstorm in her home state even though she was already in NYC for an earlier hit on Stuart Varney’s show, the Daily Beast reports.

Then on Wednesday CNN’s Inside Politics host Dana Bash announced that Noem had called the previous night to cancel her planned appearance on the afternoon show. Bash specifically said the governor’s team had reached out weeks ago to book her appearance, which answers our burning question of whether all these disastrous hits had been long-planned to promote her violent, lie-filled memoir or had been last-minute damage control for her violent, lie-filled memoir. Now we know it was the former but quickly devolved into the latter. Rarely are such mysteries resolved so fast.

President Joe Biden is wheels down in Racine, Wisconsin to promote the construction of Microsoft’s massive new AI data center on the site of fat former President Trump’s Foxconn failure.

Republican New Hampshire state House member Jess Edwards was a bit upset to see a bill outlawing child marriage pass in the chamber last week, the Granite Post reports.

“When we do this to people who are of ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom loving couples?” Edwards asked as he railed against the bill, later voting no along with 273 other Republicans in the 400-seat chamber, but failing to stop it from reaching Governor Chris Sununu’s desk as the bill had already cleared the state Senate in March.

Jesus dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told reporters on Wednesday that he has a lot of feelings and senses to back up his assertions that millions of undocumented migrants have been secretly voting in elections “We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections. But it’s not been something that’s easily provable. We don’t have that number,” Johnson assured reporters assembled on the Capitol steps for a press conference to promote the pointless bill banning non-citizens from voting in federal elections, which is already illegal.

You think your family can’t get along? Try being one of the Wilsons of Pulaski and Russell Counties in Southern Kentucky! WKYT reports that Angela Gosser, née Wilson, ended her marriage to 73 year-old Larry Gosser pretty abruptly in Pulaski County on Friday before driving to Russell County and fatally shooting her sister Jennifer Wilson, 57, before heading to her brother Darryl Wilson’s house to settle some score. After being shot and injured, Darryl returned fire, putting an end Angela’s rampage. Thanksgiving will probably be less awkward this year.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy avoided saying “Yes, Dad” when answering a question from Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy about President Biden’s visit to Racine, Wisconsin on Wednesday to promote a massive new Microsoft AI data center, so that was the normal part.

What was bizarre however was that this was Fox News covering Biden not only positively but doing so in a way relative to Trump, with Steve going a little bit out of his way to note that Trump had failed to create jobs at the very same location, even using the “Eighth Wonder of the World” quote.

To steal a seminal line from former President George W Bush: That was some weird shit.

A Georgia appeals court on Wednesday announced they would hear disgraced former President Trump’s appeal of Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee’s decision not to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the massive RICO indictment brought against the fat fuck and 13 of his accomplices for their failed attempt to overturn his humiliating defeat in the 2020 election in the Peach State.

Lawfare’s Anna Bower reports that the interlocutory appeal order did not grant a stay, meaning the pretrial proceedings can still continue until the higher courts rule otherwise. Irrespective of whether or not the case does get stayed by an appeals court, it probably was not ever going to actually start before the 2024 election given its scope and the complexity of prosecuting so many defendants.

Yeah, we just need to report this straight because editorializing about the uselessness of harping on Republican hypocrisy wouldn’t be the most productive use of our time: The Daily Mail reports white nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has fired her “right hand man,” staffer Travis Loudermilk – son of other MAGA Georgia US Representative Barry Loudermilk – for cheating on his wife with a married Instagram influencer. The hypocrisy of a woman – whose National Zero nickname is a portmanteau of her reputation for promoting far right conspiracy bullshit and fucking around with a gym manager and a “polyamorous tantric sex guru” prior to her divorce – firing an aide for the same sin should be obvious enough in the headline and we take this brief recomposition no further.
