Jonathan Moseley, a defense lawyer representing a number of MAGA terrorists over their involvement in the Capitol riot, was disbarred in Virginia last week for violating “professional rules that govern safekeeping property; meritorious claims and contentions; candor toward the tribunal; fairness to opposing party and counsel; unauthorized practice of law, multijurisdictional practice of law; bar admission and disciplinary matters… and misconduct,” Politico reports. The defenestration could cause serious problems for Moseley’s Oath Keeper client Kelly Meggs, among the eleven members of the terrorist group indicted for seditious conspiracy.

Moseley has also represented “Stop the Steal” douchebag Ali Alexander in his litigation against the House January 6th Select Committee and Proud Boys captain Zachary Rehl, though Moseley withdrew from Rehl’s case in December. Moseley is not a member of the DC Bar, however he is (or was) permitted to work federal cases in the District – contingent on good standing in other bars.

As you know, the Truth Social account @HangDonaldTrump was registered with Truth Social, the self-proclaimed “free speech” haven set up by Donald Trump because Twitter banned him.  Well, as of very early Wednesday morning, the account is no more, having been banned after just two non-vulgar, plain-vanilla jabs  at the Trump bros on Truth.  So much for the snowflakes at Truth Social protecting people’s right to free speech, huh?

A Missouri judge dismissed charges against the operators of a Branson, Missouri duck boat company which ran a boat that capsized in 2018 during a thunderstorm, killing 17, the New York Times report.

Judge Alan Blankenship, a Republican, determined that insufficient evidence existed to prove the operators of the ride should have known that dangers of an approaching serious thunderstorm when the ride took off on July 19, 2019 with 31 people on board.

Waves on Table Rock Lake swamped the boat, sinking it.  People on the shore could hear the screams of passengers as the boat sank.  Ride the Ducks Branson claimed that the weather information source it used, Earth Networks, did not specifically state there were high winds associated with the storm.

Poor Kevin Sorbo.  The, um, “actor”(?) is upset that he can’t find anyone to give him two million dollars to distribute his new movie, which he calls a pro-capitalist, faith-based, family-oriented flick.  So by that, he must mean a movie where a nominal, self-proclaim Southern christian shuts down a factory because he can’t get workers at below living wage, and he prays to God that he can keep his mega-yacht and trophy wife (his third), but gets interrupted by pesky house staff who need him to verify their income so they can get food stamps to feed their kids.

With a reported net worth of $14 million, Sorbo doesn’t explain why he doesn’t pay for it himself.  Instead, he continues to beg for money.

The House January 6th Select Committee has obtained the 101 emails sent by MAGA shitweasel lawyer John Eastman as part of his plot to overthrow American democracy, CNN reports.

The Republican-dominated Oklahoma state House passed a bill Monday that would make performing any abortion a felony in the state, punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $100,000 fine, the Washington Post reports.

The bill, which was passed by the state Senate last year, will now go to the desk of Republican Governor Kevin Stitt, who has stated he would sign a measure to make abortion illegal.  The bill is scheduled to go into effect this summer when the legislature adjourns, if it is not blocked by court action.

Unlike other bills passed in Republican-dominated states, the Oklahoma bill is not dependent on the expected Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade.  Many SCOTUS watchers expect the conservative-dominated Supreme Court to overturn or drastically weaken the abortion protections provided by Roe.

Somewhat surprisingly learning from her mistake the first time around, sort of has-been MAGA superstar shitbag Laura Loomer’s quest for a House seat has taken her from the deep blue Palm Beach-area Florida 21st Congressional District – where she got absolutely destroyed by the incumbent Dem in 2020 – to redder pastures to take down an incumbent “RINO” in a primary instead. And few places are redder than the sunwashed golf cart maze of The Villages.

Loomer will appear before the The Villages Sons of the American Revolution at 10 a.m. Saturday at Captiva Recreation Center, giving a talk titled “My Experiences as an Investigative Journalist,” that almost certainly has nothing to do with actual journalism and everything to do with how incumbent GOP Congressman Dan Webster is an America Last queer who’s secretly Muslim and denies the science behind the benefits of ivermectin. If there are any National Zero readers in the area, we would appreciate it if you could stop by and take a few pics – and then check out Margarita Republic too. That place is legendary for its connections to the Villages’ criminal underworld.

President Joe Biden nominated Admiral Linda Fagan to lead the United States Coast Guard, a position that would make her the first woman in uniform to lead a branch of the US armed services, Reuters reports.

Currently the vice commandant of the Coast Guard, the Columbus, Ohio native graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1985.  She will replace Admiral Karl Schultz, who was appointed in 2018.

“Her leadership and integrity are second to none,” Biden said in a tweet announcing the nomination.

Police track and nab Senate fox after it hounds Democrat on Capitol grounds https://t.co/AbICfQLXFf

California Dem Congressman Ami Bera is reportedly fine and doesn’t have rabies after an asshole fox bit him. Fox News’s report on the incident says “it came too close fur comfort,” completely ignoring their own name and propensity to attack Democrats in a pun. Fox News fucking sucks.

Awesome! The Conservative Political Action Conference is going international (but they’re not globalists, especially not the kind of globalists who don’t accept Jesus *wink wink*) and headed for a rockin’ May 2022 Budapest edition of their awesome nationalist-fests, keynoted by none other than their second-favorite Eastern European leader Viktor Orban, Reuters reports.

Fresh off his rigged victory for a fourth term in office, Hungary’s Prime Minister is a superstar in MAGA World for his willingness to cut through the libtard bullshit by silencing media critics and vilifying gays, Jews, and non-white people. “Hungary has become, for the Trumpist Republicans, what Sweden used to be for the social democrats – it’s proof of concept,” said Princeton University professor of sociology and international affairs Kim Lane Scheppele, a specialist in Hungarian politics who probably drives a Subaru with lots of bumper stickers.

“Orban, unlike so many of our own conservative politicians, understands that we are in a battle to defend our civilization [against gays, Jews, and non-white people] – and he fights like it,” said Trump fanboy Rod Dreher, whose most recent book was translated into Hungarian, adding “what nationalist, populist conservative governance can be,” most likely as he set a reminder to refill his Cialis prescription (but forget the condoms) before he heads to Budapest on May 18-20th.

All 219 House Democrats and 143 Republicans voted yes Tuesday on HR 831, a bill “Calling on the United States Government to uphold the founding democratic principles of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and establish a Center for Democratic Resilience within the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as amended.”

Meaning 63 Republicans voted against “Democratic Resilience.” Maybe they were just confused and though the “Democratic” meant it was somehow going to help the Democratic Party win more elections. That could be it. They have been known to get confused about those sort of things.

MyPillow assclown Mike Lindell, headlining a Tuesday “Election Truth” rally along with batshit QAnon freak Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters at the Colorado state Capitol in Denver, was snagged by a process server sent by former Dominion executive Eric Coomer shortly before Lindell spoke to the crowd, 9News’s Marshall Zelinger reports. Per Zelinger, Lindell then ranted from a podium on the Capitol steps and admitted he broke state ethics laws by spending over $800,000 on Peters’ legal defense, far outstripping the limit of $65 on gifts to Colorado public officials.

Coomer’s been kicking ass in court in his defamation cases against the MAGA Reich after they falsely accused him of colluding with Antifa to rig the 2020 election against the Orange God Emperor. Most famously last September Coomer’s legal team obtained an internal Trump campaign memo in which it was made clear Donald and his minions knew full well their stories were bullshit.

Things are not going so great for Peters, arrested twice in the last two months, the second a massive 13-count indictment on a whole litany of felonies including conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identify theft, and first-degree official misconduct after her August 2021 caper in which she implicated herself in a scheme to tamper with Dominion-branded voting equipment owned by the state of Colorado – which had to be replaced, costing millions of dollars.

A new bill in the Tennessee state House whose Republican sponsor, state House Rep Tom Leatherwood says it’s aimed at “establishing an alternative form of marriage for those pastors and other individuals who have a conscientious objection to the current pathway to marriage in our law,” advanced out of committee this week over the objections of Democrats who pointed out that there’s no minimum age requirement in the bill’s language, WJHL reports.

Leatherwood himself acknowledged this, saying “There is not an explicit age limit,” without actually doing anything to amend the bill to, you know, make sure it was explicit. The current Tennessee state minimum marriage age is 17, and would totally stay that way as long as the couples are gay. Only heterosexual couples can ignore the minimum age in their “conscientious objection to the current pathway to marriage”-style marriage if this bill is passed and signed into law.

But yeah, it’s the gays and lesbians who are the “groomers.” Otherwise a legalized path to sexual abuse of minors inside the holy bounds of matrimony is totally acceptable in MAGA Land.

Germany has shut down a Russian-language drug marketplace called the Hydra Market run on the so-called “dark web,” seizing more than $24 million in cryptocurrency, Bloomberg reports.

Law enforcement officials shut down the servers that were operating in Germany that supported the Hydra platform, which has been called the largest marketplace for illegal goods on the web. They also confiscated 543 bitcoin.  The US Treasury Department is also taking action against Hydra organizers.

German prosecutors say the platform has been operating since 2015 and garnered 1.23 billion euro in sales in 2020.  There were 17 million registered users and 19,000 registered sellers on the platform, selling everything from drugs to forged identification to stolen material.

President Joe Biden announced an extension of a grace period for student loan repayment for people who have federally-guaranteed loans, providing temporary relief for millions who carry typically tens of thousands in debt, the Associated Press reports.

Payments were scheduled to restart May 1st under the Administration’s original pause, but the deadline will not be extended through August 2022.  This benefits 46 million Americans who have a combined $1.6 trillion in college loans outstanding.

“It is ruining lives and holding people back,” Senator Patty Murphy, an advocate pushing for a solution to the student loan debt problem, said in a statement last month. “Borrowers are struggling with rising costs, struggling to get their feet back under them after public health and economic crises, and struggling with a broken student loan system — and all this is felt especially hard by borrowers of color.”

The ex-wife of Republican former Missouri Governor and Senate candidate Eric Greitens stated in a court filing that she has photographs and other records that document episodes of abuse she suffered at the hand of her spouse, the Missouri Independent reports.

Fighting for custody of her children, Sheena Greitens claims that Eric threatened suicide when he was under investigation while he was governor for corruption charges.  In another in incident, their son returned from a visit with his father with  swollen face, bleeding gums and loose tooth, claiming his father hit him in the face.

Eric Greitens has claimed that the allegations were concocted by Republican operative Karl Rove and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to drive him from the Senate race because of his adoration of Donald Trump.  Eric Greitens says these claims arose because of his political power, a claim his ex-wife denies.

Nearly a year after the collapse of the Champlain Towers in nearby Surfside, another Florida residential complex has been evacuated because it was deemed structurally unsafe, forcing dozens of households to relocate, the Associated Press reports.

Officials in North Miami Beach ordered residents of the Bayview 60 Homes out of their homes after an inspection revealed the building at risk of collapse.  The five-story building was built in 1972 and has 60 individual units.

The Champlain Towers collapse claimed 98 lives when it occurted in the early morning hours of June 24th.  Residents of that 13-story tower had complained for years about cracks in the building and other signs of structural deficiency.  With its political philosophy of lax regulations and little government interference, Florida’s political environment likely played into the lack of inspections and enforcement, which directly led to the loss of lives.

Asked by a right-wing host a surprising non-softball question about Saudi Arabia assisting Russia to circumvent international boycotts brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Donald Trump claims Saudi Arabia is a victim of oppression.  “So, I think this.  I think [the Saudis] have been taken very badly by our country.  Ah, they don’t want to see the Iran nuclear deal that’s a catastrophe.  I ended it.  We were very, very good with Saudi Arabia and all of them.  They were buying massive amounts of our military equipment and everything else.”

This summer get your kids outdoors enjoy all that America has to offer… don’t waste your money on overpriced bullshit and junk food at Disney World.

On a wholly unrelated note, the Trump International Hotel and Tower’s room service menu offers Rice Krispies for $12, chocolate chip cookie (that’s singular, not plural) for $9, and plain vanilla yogurt for $12 – add $5 for fruit and granola. The Trump Las Vegas Hotel’s restaurant sells buffalo wings for $19 a plate and kids’ chicken fingers for $13. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is $10.

“Overpriced bullshit” could mean a lot of different things, but a $50 doormat or a $35 set of two pint glasses could very well qualify as such. Disney meanwhile sells a doormat and a set of four slightly smaller than pint glasses at $35 each. It’s still bullshit, but it’s certainly a better value.
