Former D-list WWE pro wrestler and Trump-endorsed 2020 Nevada 3rd District Congressional candidate Dan Rodimer is wanted on murder charges in connection with the beating death of another man in a hotel room at Resorts World Las Vegas on October 29th of last year, KRNV reports.

The parents of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered last month by a Venezuelan migrant, have declined an invite to the State of The Union address from antisemitic MAGA Congressman Mike Collins, who now says he’ll leave a seat empty in the House chamber during the speech “to honor Americans he could have invited had their lives not been cut short by foreign criminals who had no business being in this country,” WSB-TV reports.

“As the president paints a rosy picture of the crime-ridden country he has created, he will see an empty seat in the gallery that memorializes those who are no longer with us because of his open border,” Collins wrote in a statement, plainly disappointed that, for now at least, the Rileys don’t want to be used as a prop for white nationalist xenophobia. “Did Joe Biden extend the family of Laken Riley an invitation to the State of the Union? Has he called? Has he written? One shred of human remorse for giving her alleged killer the freedom to kill?” Stephen Miller tweeted Wednesday.

“It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” writes disgraced former President Trump, who had forced Ronna Not-Romney to go through a whole song and dance of withdrawing from the Debate Commission.

This is the kind of overconfidence that led to the shitshow that was the first debate in 2020, when Trump and the entire MAGA propaganda industrial complex created these expectations that Joe Biden was going to die on stage and that he was on drugs or whatever and then it just devolved into a complete disaster for Trump, even leading to a mute button being added for the second one.

Trump was also “pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address. I will correct, in rapid response, any and all inaccurate Statements, especially pertaining to the Border and his Weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, AGs, and District Attorneys, to go after his Political Opponent, ME (something never done before in this Country!). We did this once before to tremendous success – Beating All Records. It is important for the Country to get the TRUTH!” as if the entire government revolves around Trump’s indictments and Biden’s going to be talking about them in the State of The Union address.

Asked Wednesday on why he endorsed fat former President Trump after all the “Old Crow” and “Coco Chow” insults, Mitch McConnell – who by the way looks and sounds like he’s in worse shape than even some of the most exaggerated right wing depictions of Joe Biden – repeatedly just said he had already committed to it back in February 2021 (he did). How’s that for enthusiasm?

Shortly before this, the Orange God Emperor posted an anodyne “Thank you, Mitch. I look forward to working with you and a Republican Senate MAJORITY to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” which he probably didn’t actually write himself. Feels too magnanimous and normal-ish for Donald.

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday scheduled the arguments for fat former President Trump’s bullshit bid to escape accountability for his crimes for Thursday, April 25th, CNN reports.

Prosecutors in Arizona have been issuing grand jury subpoenas in their investigation into the Trump 2020 fake electors scam in the state, a sign Politico says indicates “that Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, is nearing a decision on whether to charge Trump’s allies in the state, including GOP activists who falsely posed as presidential electors in December 2020.”

It’s not clear yet if fat former President Trump himself could face charges. Though he was ultimately indicted in Georgia along with the ringleaders of the plot in that state, similar prosecutions in Michigan and Nevada led by the state Attorneys General focused only on the fake electors.

Dem Congressman Dean Phillips will end his primary bid against Joe Biden on Wednesday after coming in third behind “Uncomitted” in his home state primary, Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs reports.

Were Americans better off when their president was tweeting “With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible”? The GOP was better off politically, sure, but no. Americans by and large were not better off in that situation.

“It takes a lot of courage to run for President – that’s especially true in today’s Republican Party, where so few dare to speak the truth about Donald Trump. Nikki Haley was willing to speak the truth about Trump: about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from wrong, about his cowering before Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump made it clear he doesn’t want Nikki Haley’s supporters. I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. I know there is a lot we won’t agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy, on standing up for the rule of law, on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect, on preserving NATO and standing up to America’s adversaries, I hope and believe we can find common ground.”

“We all know this is no ordinary election. And the stakes for America couldn’t be higher. I know that Democrats and Republicans and Independents disagree on many issues and hold strong convictions. That’s a good thing. That’s what America stands for. But I also know this: what unites Democrats and Republicans and Independents is a love for America,” says President Biden in a statement.

We’ll see how true Ketamine Brain stays to this “clarity” in response to the New York Times reporting that he had met with Trump and expressed interest in supporting him which notably does not rule out any other sort of “in-kind contributions” he could otherwise make, but for the moment the tweet is not being received well by the drooling keks who worship him and the Orange God Emperor.

“Nikki Haley got TROUNCED last night, in record setting fashion, despite the fact that Democrats, for reasons unknown, are allowed to vote in Vermont, and various other Republican Primaries. Much of her money came from Radical Left Democrats, as did many of her voters, almost 50%, according to the polls. At this point, I hope she stays in the ‘race’ and fights it out until the end! I’d like to thank my family, friends, and the Great Republican Party for helping me to produce, by far, the most successful Super Tuesday in HISTORY, and would further like to invite all of the Haley supporters to join the greatest movement in the history of our Nation. BIDEN IS THE ENEMY, HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” posted fat former President Trump on Truth Social Wednesday right as his last rival took the podium to announce the end of her campaign.

Which is a bit of a switch from his January 24th post that said, among other bullshit, “When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s ‘Donors’ would immediately come to me, and want to ‘help out.’ This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me. Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”

Americans who love putting a big fat wiener in their mouths are going to have to watch out for the woke ones now as Oscar Meyer on Wednesday announced new “NotHotDogs and NotSausages, the first ever plant-based Oscar Mayer offerings and the first plant-based meat innovation from the joint venture between The Kraft Heinz Company (‘Kraft Heinz’) and TheNotCompany, Inc (‘NotCo’).”

“With its mission to create mouthwatering plant-based foods for all, The Kraft Heinz Not Company’s Oscar Mayer NotHotDogs and NotSausages offer the savory and smoky experience that brand fans have known and loved for more than 140 years. The United States plant-based market is projected to skyrocket from $8.3 billion in 2023 to $19 billion by 2030. However, plant-based hot dogs and dinner sausage links remain underdeveloped and under-consumed within the broader plant-based meat category, largely due to disappointment in existing offerings’ taste and texture.”

“With Oscar Mayer NotHotDogs and NotSausages – available in Bratwurst and Italian sausage flavors – The Kraft Heinz Not Company aims to deliver on these needs and consumers’ evolving preference in the plant-based space,” the woke wieners continued in their press release.

Also “NotDogs” was right freaking there. Why the hell does it need an extra syllable?

It’s incredibly stupid of Haley to refuse to endorse Trump.  Again, the notion that she represents millions of voters who will do what she says is foolish.

Actually, I’m glad she’s not endorsing Trump. Now he won’t feel compelled to give her anything. https://t.co/UKMQ8924DM

Looks like Liz Cheney will have competition on the Hate Trump speaking circuit.

Mississippi Republican National Committee member Henry Barbour tells Politico that the resolution he was floating to other members to adopt an anti-paying for fat former President Trump’s self-inflicted legal clusterfucks is “dead” as he could only get eight of the 10 minimum delegation members to cosponsor it for a floor vote at this weekend’s committee meeting.

New House Freedom Caucasians chairman Bob Good on Tuesday told other Republicans he wants to force a government shutdown in September in order to prevent Democrats from achieving any policy wins before or after the election, Punchbowl News reports on a very interesting strategy.

Former Harris County, Texas GOP chair Jared Woodfill, an absolute fucking scumbag who we’ve unaffectionately dubbed the Ghislaine Maxwell of his state party for his aiding and abetting the pederasty of his law partner, former judge and Southern Baptist Convention VP Paul Pressler, was absolutely crushed in his challenge against incumbent Texas state House District 138 Representative Lacey Hull by a 61.5 to 38.5 percent margin on Tuesday, the Texas Tribune reports.

Woodfill was one of dozens of primary challengers recruited by Picasso-faced Attorney General Ken Paxton to punish the Republicans who voted overwhelmingly to impeach him last year, but among the few who failed to prevail or at least force a runoff, per the Tribune. State House Speaker Dade Phelan came in second behind far right challenger David Covey but both were under 50 percent thanks to a third candidate, so Phelan’s fate will be decided on May 28th. Woodfill had the audacity to claim he was running for state House Speaker before his primary, lol.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will announce the end of her campaign at a 10 AM EST press conference, CNN reports, adding that she will not endorse fat former President Trump but instead urge him to “earn” the support of her fans. We were off by five months.

Politics is our passion and we’re determined to slog through the really shitty, boring parts of it that nonetheless manage to get a lot of media coverage, come hell or high water. Follow live here.
