Employing an unorthodox coping mechanism, Travis McBride, 46-year-old anger management counselor from DeLand, Florida, shot and killed a homeless man, dragged the corpse across the road, searched the site for expended shells, stuffed the body into his car and drove off.

NBC News reports police received multiple 9-1-1 calls from witnesses reporting the crime on Thursday, with one identifying McBride and the victim, 51-year-old Clinton Dorsey.  One witness said McBride was angry with Dorsey because, McBride believed, Dosey intended to harm McBride’s dogs with a jarful of glass he had collected.  The witness said she was scared of McBride because McBride threatened to harm her if she warned Dorsey.

“President Trump is the one that gave shock ‘n’ awe to the whole world when he walked across the DMZ line, hand extended, shaking hands with Kim Jong-un, ending Little Rocket Man’s reign,” Congressional dolt Marjorie Taylor Greene recites like the good minion she is, though (1) “shock ‘n’ awe” was George W. Bush’s thing during his disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq; (2) Kim Jong-un is still in office, unlike Donald Trump.

“Thank you for the work you have done to safeguard the right to vote and to protect our election. infrastructure against the ongoing and destabilizing barrage of election-related mis and disinformation. I am deeply concerned, however, about the potential subversive effects that artificial intelligence (‘Al’) generated content may have indeed, is already having on our elections.”

“In particular, I am alarmed at the report that a party or parties unknown are attempting to confuse and disenfranchise New Hampshire voters using Al-generated robocalls in advance of the January 23, 2024, New Hampshire primary election. To ensure that those responsible are held accountable, and in the hopes of preventing the spread Al-generated mis- and disinformation in future elections, I respectfully request that the United States Department of Justice begin investigating this matter immediately. According to the New Hampshire Department of Justice (‘NHDOJ’), voters in New Hampshire received an Al-generated audio message that imitated the voice of President Biden and urged voters not to participate in the upcoming election. NHDOJ determined that this inaccurate message appeared to be “an unlawful attempt to disrupt the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election and to suppress New Hampshire voters. This clear bid to interfere in the New Hampshire primary demands a thorough investigation and a forceful response from federal officials to deter further Al-based attacks,” writes spandex-wearing grapple freak Jim Jord-

Actually we just straight-up lied in the headline to provoke a reaction. Jim Jordan doesn’t give a fuck if someone’s faking Biden’s voice in a robocall telling people in New Hampshire not to vote. It was New York Democrat Joe Morelle, ranking member on the House Administration Committee.

“The United States Constitution, article II, section 1, clause 2 states that, ‘Each state shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.'”

“It is the responsibility of the Arizona Secretary of State to certify elections, including elections for President of the United States, but the sole authority to appoint presidential electors is granted to the Legislature. Therefore be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring: 1. That the Legislature shall remain in session during years in which presidential elections are held, and 2. That the Legislature, and no other official, shall appoint presidential electors in accordance with the United States Constitution,” says the text of AZ SCR 1014 as introduced Monday by Republican Arizona state Senator Anthony Kern, emphasis ours.

It’s not like Kern has any skin in the game on this one. He just wants it to be constitutional. The bill has nothing to do with the fact that Kern signed one of the fake Trump 2020 electoral college certificates and is probably under criminal investigation for doing that – or that he is credibly suspected of having entered the Capitol on January 6th. Nothing to see here, libs.

Sarcasm aside, this is just a bullshit messaging bill. Republicans have a one-seat majority in each chamber and the governor is a Dem. There’s no chance it will ever pass or be signed into law.

The White House on Monday announced President Biden will on Thursday head to Superior, Wisconsin to embarrass Minnesota Congressman Pete Stauber who on Monday took credit for a new bridge between Superior and his district after voting against funding it in 2021, NBC26 reports.

“On Thursday, January 25th, the President will travel to Superior, Wisconsin to discuss how his Bidenomics and Investing in America Agenda are rebuilding our infrastructure, lowering costs, spurring a small business boom, and creating good-paying jobs,” the White House statement said, omitting any mention of Biden’s plan to break Stauber’s balls over it. But you know it’s coming, hopefully in the form of a very public invitation to accompany him on Air Force One to Wisconsin.

Dictator-ish Philippines President Ferdinand “BongBong” Marcos has been catching a lot of shit from Manila-area residents for taking the presidential helicopter to go see Coldplay perform at a venue about 14 miles from his residence by air, but 19 miles and 90 minutes – probably much more – by road because of the fucking brutal traffic in the island country’s vast capital, Politiko.com.ph reports.

“Yesterday, the Philippine Arena experienced an unprecedented influx of 40,000 individuals eagerly attending a concert, resulting in unforeseen traffic complications along the route,” Philippines Presidential Security Group Commander Major General Nelson Morales said in a statement defending the move. “Recognizing that this traffic situation posed a potential threat to the security of our President, the PSG took decisive action by opting for the presidential chopper.”

The choice of transportation method is a garden variety abuse of power scandal that obfuscates the real problem: Any national leader who likes Coldplay should be considered unfit for office. As such the Philippines military should immediately arrest this asshole and hold a new election.

Fat former President Trump told Fox News he could beat Nikki Haley in a cognitive test after refusing to go on a debate stage with her last week. That whole new shitshow with him confusing her with Nancy Pelosi has been getting coverage is a welcome surprise, more on that situation later.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the 38,000 mark for the first time ever on Monday, the index now up nearly 10,000 points since November 2020. In celebration of this milestone Media Matters published a transcript from Friday’s edition of Sean Hannity’s radio show where he said “the stock market impacts 8 percent of Americans. It does not impact the other 92 percent. It’s one of the main reasons I’ve never used it as any kind of real barometer in terms of the health of our economy. And, you know, this thing can come tumbling down just as quickly as it went up. Yeah, stocks went up, this past year. What? It just barely made up for what the losses were last year.”

Media Matter then followed it with no less than 12 video clips of Hannity saying shit like “President Trump has amassed a historical level of accomplishment… Look at the economy on fire, record after record,” and that Trump “has been building a track record of economic and diplomatic achievement,” specifically referring to the stock market at the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500 et cetera.

With Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joining the liberals, the US Supreme Court on Monday voted 5 to 4 to allow the Biden Administration to have the Border Patrol remove the razor wire Texas Governor Low Energy Greg Abbott ordered his legions placed to kill and maim migrants crossing the Rio Grande River, CNN reports. The final decision in the case is still pending.

Way to show your personal convictions there, Nance. Sure, she said all this bullshit about how great the fat rapist was at presidenting, but at the bottom of all this was simply that she wanted to make her voters feel like she was listening to them, which is kind of not really an endorsement at all so much as a surrender. It got even better when Mace told the Fox News lady how important women’s issues are going to be in this election. The smile after she that was very sincere.

“Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) announced that the US Department of Transportation has awarded the Cities of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin with $1,058,398,200 to replace the Blatnik Bridge. This replacement bridge will address geometric deficiencies, increase capacity, and create a new shared-use path for cyclists and pedestrians to access both states easily.”

“Of this grant, Congressman Stauber stated, ‘By connecting Duluth, Minnesota to Superior Wisconsin, the Blatnik Bridge has helped drive our Twin Ports economy for the past six decades. The Blatnik Bridge is aging, and its restoration is essential to ensuring continued economic success, which is why I have long fought for these funds. Securing the money to help replace this bridge has been a top priority for both states, and I am proud to have worked with my Minnesota and Wisconsin Congressional colleagues to secure this critical investment.’ Congressman Stauber has consistently advocated for these funds, sending several letters to the Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden,” says a statement from Congressman Pete Stauber’s office.

Yeah Stauber voted against the infrastructure bill that paid for this bridge. You already knew that.

Senate negotiators have largely smoothed out policy disagreements between Dems and Republicans, with the only hurdle still remaining being funding, meaning that the bill that fat former President Trump doesn’t want to happen is getting closer to the floor, CNN’s Lauren Fox reports.

A 44 year-old The Villages, Florida man is in jail on $2,500 on a resisting arrest charge after refusing to pull his bicycle over after a Wildwood Police Department officer ordered him to stop riding on the side of County Road 466A without a rear light attached to the bike, Villages-News.com reports.

“I ain’t gotta stop for you. I didn’t do nothing,” sad-looking bald man Douglas Fox told the officer who had rolled down the window to ask him Fox to pull over. Fox then lost control of the bike and fell from it. He began to flee on foot, but the cop caught up and zapped Fox with a taser. Somehow the asshole kept running but eventually gave up and allowed himself to be taken in.

A Cobb County, Georgia judge on Monday dealt a dickpunch to Trump minion Mike Roman, a co-conspirator in the sprawling RICO case over the post-2020 election coup attempt in the state who sought to expose the relationship between Fulton County DA Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade by dragging Willis into Wade’s ongoing divorce, MSNBC’s Katie Phang reports.

Basically Wade’s soon-to-be-ex-wife and Roman’s lawyers teamed up to get more info out of Wade and lost because they hadn’t shown that they exhausted all means of gathering it, so they can’t question Willis for now and maybe not ever because it all depends on how Wade’s deposition goes.

The even shorter version is this: Fani Willis and her deputy Nathan Wade are almost certainly in a relationship, which was stupid, but Trump and his minions have a very long road to go before they can prove it was in any way improper and an even longer one to getting the case tossed. It’s a bad look for Willis politically given the environment. It’s not the cheat code MAGA wants.

This is blatant election interference!

Joe Biden and his Democrat cronies are the true threats to democracy!

TRUMP 2024! https://t.co/LnBmYxa5ud

We left some details out of our earlier report, specifically that it wasn’t just idiot Trump lawyer Alina Habba and her parents potentially sick with COVID but also a juror that went in to Judge Lewis Kaplan’s decision to adjourn the trial for the day. “The postponement means Trump likely won’t get a verdict before the New Hampshire primary in this second civil trial determining how much more money he owes journalist E Jean Carroll for denying that he raped her decades ago in a Manhattan department store,” The Daily Beast reports, which means, if anything, that the postponement is “election interference” against Nikki Haley. Not to mention Trump’s testimony, if was ever going to happen, won’t come until Wednesday at the earliest. God freaking dammit does Elise Stefanik suck.

Not even the fat bastard himself is saying the trial’s postponement is some sort of scam meant to interfere with the New Hampshire primary, as he just posted on Truth Social that he “traveled late last night from the Great State of New Hampshire to New York to attend one of the many Crooked Joe Biden-inspired Witch Hunt trials. Despite the fact that I was there, on time and on schedule, it was just learned that one of the jurors is, unfortunately, not feeling well, and for that reason, today’s session of the trial, having to do with a woman I know absolutely nothing about, has therefore been cancelled with a new date to be determined. Of course, all of these various ‘Biden Political Opponent’ trials just happen to be starting, with great purpose, in the middle of what will be the most important Election in the History of our Country,” and blah blah blah.

For the second time in as many months, Republican North Dakota Gov Doug Burgum announced he’s dropping out of a race, tweeting Monday he won’t seek a third term leading his desolate state.

All the anticipation over whether or not fat former President Trump would take the stand in his defense Monday in write EJ Carroll’s damages only federal defamation lawsuit trial was stomped when Donald’s idiot lawyer/possible mistress Alina Habba informed Judge Lewis Kaplan that her parents were exposed to COVID and asked for an adjournment – despite Habba herself testing negative for the virus. Kaplan granted the request, the Messenger’s Adam Klasfeld reports.

Trump and/or his social media team instead spent the morning further defaming Carroll in yet another very rapid fire string of Truth Social posts basically trying to call her a slut.

“E Jean Carroll was forced to change her story on the ‘Monica Lewinsky-type’ dress. She originally claimed that the ‘event’ happened in 1994, and that she wore the Donna Karan dress on that day. The problem is that New York Times Fact Checkers found the dress wasn’t even made by Donna Karan until long after 1994. The truth is that she doesn’t know the day, month, season, year, or decade – because it did not happen. End this Witch Hunt now!” Trump wrote in one of the posts.

“Secure elections are the cornerstone of American democracy. Your help is critical to ensure the election is fair and honest. Republican Poll Watchers and Workers are needed for Election Integrity operations during the 2024 election season. Poll Watchers observe and report potential issues which may arise at polling locations and ballot tabulation centers. Poll Workers play an official role in administering the election at the precinct level. Now is your chance to help America vote with confidence and do your part for election integrity. Training will be provided,” says the Republican National Committee’s new “PROTECT THE VOTE!” poll watcher signup page.

Please nobody volunteer for this effort unless you’re really serious about election integrity. It would be wrong for so many different reasons if you were to end up assigned to a really red precinct in a swing state and made all sorts of false reports of Canadians or Antifa fifth columnists bussed in from Portland and disguised as Republican voters secretly casting ballots for Biden.

WTH is the message you’re sending by posting a bullet hole next to $47 dollars!?

The whole far right gang are losing their shit Monday over Alex Soros tweeting an article from The Atlantic titled “The Great Normalization: Last year, the crime and inflation crises largely evaporated. So did the leading theories about what had caused them,” because the stock photos they used of a bullet hole (for crime) and a hand holding cash (for inflation) appeared in Soros’s tweet.

The “SOROS ASSASSINATION THREAT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP” that pilled MAGA dumbasses like Laura Loomer, the Gateway Pundit, Scott Adams, Sarah Palin, Mike Flynn, and the rest of them see is… God this is so fucking dumb… The cash in the stock photo picked by some Atlantic editor adds up to $47 and Trump will be the 47th president if elected again in November.

Alex Soros didn’t even write the article, let alone pick the photos to illustrate the point about how low-info voters still think crime and inflation are out of control. We seriously doubt that Atlantic staff writer Rogé Karma did either when his boss posted in on Thursday of last week.
