In what’s probably the strongest signal yet that Lil Ronnie DeSantis is getting ready for the big leagues, both the newly sworn-in leaders of the Florida state House and Senate on Tuesday said they’re fine with repealing the law requiring elected officials to put in an irrevocable letter of resignation ahead of qualifying if the terms of the two offices overlap, Politico reports.

“If an individual who is Florida governor is running for president, I think he should be allowed to do it,” said Republican Senate President Kathleen Passidomo to reporters. “I really do. That’s a big honor and a privilege, so it is a good idea,” she continued, as if she needed to add that in to make it sound more sincere or something and she wouldn’t be destroyed professionally if she were against it. The law itself seems a little convoluted and Politico doesn’t say when the drop-dead date would be if it isn’t repealed, but we would have to guess that DeSantis would be required to quit sometime in the Spring of 2024 if it’s “ahead of qualifying”. What isn’t unclear is where this movement to change the law is coming from. Of course DeSantis is pushing them to do it while personally playing all coy about his intentions to challenge the Orange God Emperor for the crown.

“Today, Senator Graham appeared before the Fulton County Special Grand Jury for just over two hours and answered all questions. The Senator feels he was treated with respect, professionalism, and courtesy. Out of respect for the grand jury process he will not comment on the substance of the questions,” says dainty Senator Lindsey Graham in a statement on his Tuesday testimony to Fulton County, Georgia grand jury’s subpoena to question him about his involvement in the failed Trump coup attempt in the state, finally having sat down after months of trying to weasel out of it, taking the fight all the way to the fucking United States Supreme Court and losing.

A Florida man had it his way for a glorious few moments Friday before cops dethroned him for threatening staff with a pair of pliers and stealing food from a Burger King, Fox 13 reports.

The high sodium and saturated fat-fueled rampage began when Hubert Credit Jr, 50, entered the Burger King at 611 S Dale Mabry Highway in South Tampa and demanded free food. When staff told Credit to fuck off, he immediately produced a pair of pliers and started banging on the counter, knocking over a cash register. Instead of stealing cash from the register, Credit continued threatening the staff, and then grabbed an unspecified quantity of food from behind the counter.

Instead of leaving the premises, Credit went into a stall in the men’s room and began eating. Police arrived shortly thereafter and ordered Credit to exit the stall. He complied and was placed under arrest on a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon. No one was injured in the incident.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected disgraced former President Trump’s bid to prevent his tax records from being obtained from the IRS by the House Ways and Means Committee, finally ending a case that started in fucking 2019, while the fat bastard was still president.

Yeah this one’s not a close call. We already know the cult of Trump worshippers who believe Tom Hanks, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and all the rest of them consume the blood of children they sacrificed in Satanic rituals are going to breeze right over this Inc.com story about MAGA billionaire Peter Thiel getting himself transfused with plasma from donors under age 25 as part of his quest to live forever. It’s not because the particular details of the donors being paid volunteers aren’t all that lurid or sensational by their standards at least. Since when have QAnon fans ever been afraid to make shit up? They could make it into an Rothschild family-financed underground human trafficking ring-supplied plasma farm faster than you can say “Do your own research” if they wanted to.

It’s also not because they’ll never actually see it. Of course they will. Even the deepest dregs of the MAGA QAnon internet still depend on the mainstream news media for material to feed their conspiracy bullshit. How would they have “known” that Jewish Space Lasers started forest fires in California if they didn’t know about the forest fires in the first place? We’re not saying you will definitely never find a post mentioning Thiel and plasma on Truth Social, GreatAwakening.win, or 8kun, but it’s on one of their influencers to pick it up and give it traction.

The reason why they won’t all comes down to plain old boring right wing hypocrisy. A gay Silicon Valley elitist vampire is a good guy because he supports Trump and similar far right scumbags like JD Vance and Blake Masters. He can get away with this objectively goddamned creepy bullshit while John Podesta has already been (figuratively) tried, convicted, and executed for consuming adrenochrome harvested from children because fuck you liberals. The QAnon dipshits are no different from the more “mainstream” right wingers who said Hillary Clinton was guilty of a crime for some supposedly careless handling of her official emails while Trump is innocent of literally stealing top secret classified government documents: Because fuck you liberals.

“Pence was always weak and he especially showed it January 6”

– The current top comment on the Breitbart article “Exclusive – From a Democrat to a Conservative Vice President: Mike Pence Details Journey in American Politics,” one of two which we’re having a hard time imagining it’s anything other than paid advertising for Pence’s unofficial 2024 campaign. Breitbart’s staff should know better than most the Vice Former Guy is dead to their readers, yet they gave him the top spot on their homepage – plus the top of the sidebar with another segment from the interview, headlined “…WILL ‘GIVE PRAYERFUL CONSIDERATION’ TO 2024 RUN.”

“Milk Toast Mike, praying on it. That’s precious! The guy is as limp as they get,” says the top comment on that one, written by some fucking idiot who doesn’t know “milquetoast” is a word.

Claiming their fat client’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated during the August 8th FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and just hours before their big hearing in front of a panel at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, disgraced former President Trump’s lawyers filed a motion with shitty federal Judge Aileen Cannon to try to get her to hand them an un-redacted copy of the search warrant affidavit.

It’s not clear they’re even in the right court as it was not Cannon, but Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart who originally approved the warrant. The motion itself is the usual Trump victimhood type bullshit, but by far the best part comes in a footnote on the seventh page:

“A general rummaging through the belongings of President Trump is a particularly ominous moment in law enforcement history. With DOJ and some state officials engaging in various efforts to investigate President Trump, the search smacks of pretextual conduct with hopes of feeding personal documents to prosecutors or agents who might find use for them in unrelated pursuits. Authorization to seize ‘any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together with the aforementioned documents and containers/boxes’ is an invitation to ‘rummage,’ which every court has recognized as barred under the Fourth Amendment,” Trump’s lawyers write.

Meaning they think it’s unfair that the FBI might have (and probably did) collect evidence that would be sought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in their respective investigations, not to mention the other federal prosecutors investigating Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Very sad!

A new survey by Quinnipiac University polls finds disgraced former President Trump and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis tied at 44 percent each among 2024 Republican presidential primary voters. Another survey on Monday from Harvard CAPS-Harris found Trump leading DeSantis 46 to 48 percent.

Brooklyn Senior federal Judge Raymond Dearie’s time serving as special master in the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents case is probably not going to last much longer. This is not because he’ll have completed the review anytime soon but that, per Politico’s Josh Gerstein, two of the three judges drawn Tuesday on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to decide whether he’ll continue the review are Andrew Brasher and Britt Grant, two of the same (Trump-appointed) jurists who in September squashed the most crucial part of shitty lower Circuit Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling blocking Justice Department prosecutors from criminally investigating her client Donald’s theft of classified documents from the White House when he left office in disgrace in January 2021.

Back in September, Brasher and Grant signed onto an opinion finding they “had reason enough to conclude that the district court abused its discretion in exercising equitable jurisdiction” in trying to slow down the investigation by appointing Dearie. So even though he appointed these guys, Trump got dealt a really, really, really bad hand with this appellate draw and their ruling, whenever it comes, is almost certainly going to further shred Cannon’s ruling.

A push notification sent to iPhone users of Truth Social on Tuesday morning reported a surprise 2-1 win by the 51st ranked Saudi Arabian national soccer team against 3rd ranked perennial powerhouse Argentina in both teams’ debut in the World Cup Group C first stage, raising questions of why the MAGA Twitter clone’s admins decided to blast that particular news out.

Sarcastic naivety about “raising questions” aside, it’s obvious why they notified users of this news given Trump’s affinity for the Bone Saw regime. It’s still kind of surprising how fucking blatant this is considering past push alerts all were something politics-related. For those unfamiliar, here’s a little bit of background: Like many other mobile apps, Truth Social sends out push notifications on certain items that don’t necessarily directly concern users. Meaning that on top of stuff like if another user replies to you, likes a post, etc, you also get general network-wide items to remind you they exist.

A new survey by the AARP and Fabrizio-Ward finds incumbent Dem Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock leading deadbeat dad Herschel Walker 51 to 47 percent ahead of the December 6th runoff.

Within that number however is Warnock’s 54 to 39 percent lead among independent voters, a steep hill to climb for the pro-life but kind of paid for an abortion or two MAGA challenger Walker.

With all outstanding ballots counted, Dem Kris Mayes has defeated MAGA asshole Abe Hamadeh by a razor-thin 1,254,612 to 1,254,102 votes in the race for Arizona Attorney General, KJZZ projects.

The race now heads to an automatic recount in which it’s unlikely, but certainly not impossible for Hamadeh to ultimately prevail. The largest delta in a statewide race to end up being overturned after a recount since 2000 was the 215 vote lead for incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman in the 2008 Minnesota race against Democrat challenger Al Franken, whose campaign identified 953 improperly rejected absentee ballots and successfully to have them counted. Franken ended up winning by 223 votes when those ballots were added. The overall turnout in that race, 2,885,555, was not that far off from the 2,508,714 total turnout in this year’s Arizona Attorney General contest, which is to say that there is arguably room for the lead to change after a full recount.

Candace Owens-promoted banking app “GloriFi” informed employees it was shutting down on Friday, just three months after it launched, the Wall Street Journal reports. “Financial challenges related to startup mistakes, the failing economy, reputational attacks, and multiple negative stories took their toll,” wrote Chief Marketing Officer Cathy Landtroop, trying to assign blame to Biden and the libs for the failure of an app for people who think the retail banking industry is too woke.

In reality, an October Wall Street Journal story detailed a shit ton of problems, like CEO Toby Neugebauer drinking on the job, having a “volatile temper,” and staff having to work out of his home as they repeatedly blew past launch dates for the services marketed to “plumbers, electricians and police officers,” who “are fed up with big banks that don’t share their values.”

“I’ll never forget when Hillary Clinton called everyone supporting Trump deplorables.  Wasn’t that a nasty thing for her to do,” Congressbeast and alleged adultress Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-Ga.) declares, unable to admit she’s continually proving Hillary was right.  “To declare half of the country basically like we’re some kinda subclass, and that’s where all this started and how we got treated and it should have never happened that way.  She should, she should apologize.  Hillary Clinton owes America an apology.”

1. Hillary called half of Trump supporters “deplorables,” and we obviously know which half Marge belongs so. 2. Clinton made the remark long after Trump started the “Lock Her Up” chants at his rallies, where people were frequently assaulted.  3.  Republicans do NOT make up half the country, and Donald Trump does not have support of half the country; in fact, he loses in a head-to-head rematch against President Joe Biden.  4. Marge and her cohort want to turn women and LGBTQ people into subclasses, stripped of rights.  And finally, this is coming from a woman who distributed a campaign flier featuring her holding a gun threatening other members of Congress and who called for the death of the Speaker of the House.

BREAKING NEWS – The grim and violent 1990 classic King of New York starring Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburne, David Caruso, and Wesley Snipes is now free on Amazon Prime’s “FreeVee” service. Stop what you’re doing or watching and immediately check out this epic tale with a body count rivaling that of the Rambo movies – a body count which oddly enough does not include Steve Buscemi’s character. It’s true. That’s about the only spoiler here in this report.

Well that and the hilariously over-the-top scene above. King of New York is an exaggerated snapshot of Gotham at its darkest and ugliest, with less of a plot than most pornographic movies. It is kind of pornographic too, both in the traditional sense and in the “violence porn” sense. It’s a film so misanthropic that the majority of the audience reportedly walked out of the premiere before it was over. So grab some popcorn and check out King of New York on Amazon Prime now!

“So the most obvious question is, why did Anderson Lee Aldrich shoot 30 people, and the truth is we don’t know,” man in denial and hate monger who’s secretly happy people listen to him Tucker Carlson says.  “We do know he was clearly a troubled person.  Last summer he threatened to blow up his mother’s house with a bomb.”

If you’re an occasional viewer of Fox and Tucker Carlson’s program, you already know where Anderson Lee Aldrich got it in his head to murder LGBTQ people.  Violence against that community is regular fodder on Fox, and Carlson himself has railed against LGBTQ people.  So it’s not surprising that such an attack took place, nor is it a surprise that Carlson and other Fox personalities disavow their connections to these violent acts.

The Georgia Court of Appeals on Monday rejected an emergency petition from the state to overturn a lower court ruling allowing counties to offer early voting this Saturday ahead of the December 6th Senate runoff between incumbent Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock and deadbeat dad Herschel Walker, which absolutely sucks for Republicans, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Already caving to pressure from the far-right radicals in his Party, presumptuous future Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy stated that he would exclude several Democrats from House Committees in obvious retaliation for banning Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees after she threatened the lives of three members of Congress.

According to NBC News, McCarthy said he would exclude Democrat Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the Foreign Affairs Committee for “anti-Semitic and anti-American” stances; Omar is a critic of Israeli government policies, which simpleminded people like McCarthy confuse with being anti-Semitic like the GOP base.  McCarthy will also block Adam Schiff from the Intelligence Committee because Donald Trump’s panties are in a wad about being impeached twice.

McCarthy also said he would ban California’s Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee; Republicans have used the fact that Swalwell dated a woman who was later discovered in 2015 to be a Chinese agent.  Swalwell ended the relationship, but Republicans claim that the relationship–which Swalwell ended upon being told of the woman connections and prior to when he was on the Intelligence Committee–is enough to exclude him from the committee.  McCarthy has not mentioned if any of the Republicans who spent July 4th, 2017 in Moscow at the Kremlin will be excluded from other committees.

Interesting how that, after it was pointed out that the founders of FTX had also donated to Republicans in 2022, the MAGA dipshits adjusted their conspiracy theory to encompass “RINOs” like McCarthy and whoever else Sam Bankrupt-Fried’s buddy had boosted ahead of the midterms.
