Proud Boys captain Charles Donahoe, charged last March in a conspiracy indictment over the fascist street gang’s involvement in the Capitol riot, has reached a deal with federal prosecutors and will appear in court later Friday to plead guilty, reports CBS News Congressional Correspondent Scott MacFarlane, who characterizes the development as a “potential blockbuster.”

Notorious Villages, Florida libtard Ed McGinty was acquitted and exonerated Thursday on charges of stalking a pro-Trump neighbor who had McGinty banned from the Hadley Community Swimming Pool after he called her a “fat slob” over her “Joe Biden sucks” t-shirt, Villages-News.com reports.

The saga, just one of a long, very long, excruciatingly long string of politically-charged confrontations in the vast, mostly red retirement community, began on September 23rd when McGinty confronted the “victim” at the pool over her anti-Biden shirt. The “victim”, feeling threatened, stayed in the water to avoid McGinty. A man called 911 and Sumter County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to remove the libtard from the pool, after which he was banned permanently.

Russian billionaire Eugene Shvidler’s private jet, currently in a hangar at Biggin Hill Airport in southeast London, has been stripped of its registration and flight license, preventing it from ever being cleared to leave the airport, Bloomberg UK reports. UK Transportation Secretary Grant Shapps had blocked the aircraft from leaving March 19th, but on Friday sealed its fate to rot on a tarmac by pulling the license. Some pretty badass trolling, just stranding the asshole’s plane there.

At least 30 Ukrainian civilians attempting to evacuate the eastern breakaway region of Donetsk were killed Friday in a Russian missile attack on a train station, the AP reports. “The inhuman Russians are not changing their methods. Without the strength or courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population,” President Zelensky said when describing the attack on the station in Kramatorsk. “This is an evil without limits. And if it is not punished, then it will never stop.”

All Ian Smith, a gym owner and Republican running for the Party’s nomination for the New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District, wanted to do after having a single margarita at a taco place was get home, but after his pickup was seen swaying over traffic lane lines, he got a visit from local police officers, who determined Smith was driving under the influence.

Via the state house organ RT, the prime minister of Russia said that it will only take six months to recover from the impact of the crippling sanctions put on the country by nations around the world for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The economy needs time to rebuild. It is impossible with such a blow not to have at least six months to rebuild,” Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told the State Duma on Thursday.  The Russian economy is running at a 2% weekly inflation rate, with goods missing from shelves and financial systems crippled because of sanctions barring interaction with Western banking systems.

According to RT–which really makes it sound like we didn’t break up with Russia; Russia broke up with us… or it was going to anyway–“Moreover, Moscow has allies and partners with which it will continue working, and there are those who want to build businesses there. The authorities will continue supporting investors, including foreign ones, planning to strengthen cooperation with EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) partners, Mishustin said.”

Remember when Republicans boasted about being the Party of Personal Responsibility™?  Those days are long gone.  Senator Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo) has reverted back to blaming his two young daughters for the decisions he himself makes.  This time, it’s about buying a Tesla automobile, a fully electric car that a good oil-lovin’ Texas conservative like the Canadian-born son of a Cuban assassin Cruz would never, ever drive [wink!].

“I am so happy about [Elon Musk being the single largest shareholder of Twitter], I may go and buy a damn Tesla,” Cruz says on his podcast, a line that makes his trained monkey laugh stuntedly.  “Like, like, like I, I, I really–and by the way, my girls wa- want me to get a Tesla anyway.  You know why the girls la-la-la-love the Tesla?  [“Why?” the trained monkey says on cue.] “Because the central computer makes fart noises under each of the seats and, and, and for an eleven year old and a thirteen year old, that is the coolest feature–and I gotta admit, as a 51-year-old, that is a pretty cool feature, although I don’t… I probably shouldn’t admit that publicly as I say it into a TV camera.”

When a jurisdiction wants to prosecute bagged torn foam magnate and Trump Conspiracy Director Mike Lindell, they should just hire Mike Lindell.

According to KUSA NBC 9 News in Denver, Lindell has again put himself in hot water, this time by bragging that he gave embattled Colorado county clerk Tina Peters $800,000 to use for her legal defense in court cases about a data breach she essentially admitted to at Lindell’s “symposium” on the hacking of the 2020 election, held last August.

“I just put all the money in myself,” Lindell said of Peters’ legal defense fund. “I don’t know, I probably put in three, four, five, maybe 800,000 [dollars] of my own money.”  Lindell then went on to say that he covered all the expenses for Peters to travel to South Dakota to attend the August event.

The problem?  No elected official or public employee can take a gift of over $65 from anyone other than a family member or longtime friend.  So now Peters is not just facing a state criminal trial and a federal investigation into election tampering; she’s also facing a state ethics investigation.

“Ah, they’re so excited, they’re giddy with excitement!  ‘We got ‘im!  It’s just like Watergate!  That’s it!  We finally got ‘im!'” Trump advisor and Lego stunt double Sean Hannity emotes.  “The story was totally bogus.  None of that rampant speculation on these fake news networks turned out to be true, but yet again, none of these media hacks ever apologize or correct the record.  They just move on to the next group of lies.  This is why I’ve been saying since 2007, right here on this program:  Journalism in America is dead, done, gone and buried.”

Once again, the projection here is textbook.  But there’s a lot to parse here:

Congrats to soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Pretty sure her husband will never plot a coup to overturn an election.

One day after it was revealed that the Czech Republic has been supplying Soviet-era tanks to the Ukraine army, Slovakia has offered to provide and deliver its Soviet-era air defense systems to Ukraine, the Washington Post reports.

The only condition on the offer would be that Slovakia gets to purchase a new system of its own from one of its NATO partners.  While Slovakia has made the offer before, Russia’s threat to see any shipments as a legitimate target of war regardless of where they are has paused deliveries to Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, to whom Donald Trump once disclosed classified information about a foreign agent who then disappeared, has said Russia will not allow the transfer of the S-300 missile systems from Slovakia or from NATO members Greece and Bulgaria who also offered their missiles to Ukraine.

Everybody’s got a podcast nowadays.  (Well, except for NatZero.)  And some are better than others.  But the bottom of the pile has got to be the one hosted by alleged child sex trafficker Republican Florida Man Matt Gaetz, particularly when he hosts Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-Ga).  The pair speculate about a joke made by late night host Jimmy Kimmel, which Marge claimed was a threat because she’s a delicate snowflake who can’t take a joke.

I’m waiting for the day the allegations about Gaetz sex trafficking teenage girls are confirmed, and Marge says she’s continuing her quest against child sex traffickers–whom she was sitting next to the entire time!

The horror that Newsmax is correct about something is only mitigated by the fact that it’s pretty much entirely unrelated to politics. In a vast, dark universe filled with unknown and unknowable terrors, one can at least find some measure of peace and reassurance in that.

A disturbing video that appears to show Ukrainian soldiers executing a wounded Russian soldier lying along with three other dead bodies is coming under scrutiny as possibly staged by the Russians.

As Reuters reports, the video appears to show a group of Ukrainian soldiers, wearing blue armbands, standing among bodies of Russian soldiers.  One of the Russians is still alive, moaning and gasping for air.  Bullets are fired into his body from off camera, but as he still gasps, another soldier shots him, apparently finishing him off.

The camera then pans to two other bodies, one shot in the head and his hands tied, with blood streaming off the roadway.  (The video can be seen here on a Russian-language Telegram channel, but be advised that it is very graphic.)

Finding that Ammon Bundy was in contempt of court, an Idaho judge ordered the Republican candidate for Idaho’s governor to spend ten days in jail for failing to complete 40 hours of community service mandated by an earlier conviction, the Idaho Statesman reports.

A temperamental seditionist who doesn’t believe laws apply to him or his family, Bundy has repeatedly resisted government authority through confrontational means, sometimes resulting in his followers getting killed.

Bundy tried to claim that his campaign stops in his long-shot quest for the governorship qualified as community service, a suggestion that was quickly dismissed by Ada County Magistrate Judge Annie McDevitt.  McDevitt also ordered Bundy to pay a $3,000 fine.

Two vaccinated ladies in Congress tested positive for the Fauci virus on Thursday. The Mainsteam Media made a big deal out of it because it’s not like anything else is going on… That was sarcasm. But we reported it. We’re not naming names because do your own research libs.

Oleksandr Hruzevych, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, claims that retreating Russian troops – who had anticipated capturing Kyiv within two days of the invasion’s launch on February 24th – left behind dress uniforms they had packed for a possible victory parade in the Ukrainian capital, Insider reports. “We also find some parade uniforms there, so they expected to get Kyiv in two days and then have a parade here. So we can say now that we have completely destroyed their plans,” Hruzevych said Thursday, describing to reporters what Ukrainian troops had found in abandoned Russian armored vehicles.

A cryptic announcement of a continuing investigation into Republican Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, was released by the House Ethics Committee, noting that Jackson was referred for investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics on December 22, 2021.

No issue or action by Jackson was specified in the announcement, which is par for the course on these mandated notifications; however, Jackson, who is a medical doctor, has been accused in the past of being intoxicated on duty, making inappropriate sexual advances to female staff members, dispensing narcotics inappropriately, and lying about the health of the President of the United States, so nothing is off the table when he’s involved.

The oneupsmanship of GOP performance artists continues:  now, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis–obviously worried that he’ll lose the title of most vile (claims to be) straight cis-male in America–has stated he will ship undocumented immigrants in Florida to President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware, Fox News reports.

DeSantis’s announcement came hours after Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott–another contender for most vile (claims to be) straight cis-male in America crown–announced he would be kidnapping and shipping undocumented immigrants to the Capitol in Washington, DC to show Biden, even though Biden works at the White House, not the Capitol.

The DeSantis move would face similar legal challenges as Abbott’s plan; those being the fact that they want to kidnap people and move them across state lines to be political props without being paid or otherwise compensated.  While this may sound a lot like slavery, Abbott claims he’ll be asking for volunteers to be shipped across state lines to be political props without being paid or otherwise compensated.
