Today’s political news - Part 7

All of which caused his sister, sitting senior Federal judge quickly retired to avoid more scrutiny...

And of course, back to 'her emails..' Also Obama's 30 million documents he took...he just does not get that Obama's documents are IN a NARA facility...

The I have no debt. Didn’t Eric and Jr brag about how they had loans in Russia?

I don’t think he understands what not having debt means it means you don’t have loans? No outstanding balances. But someone that has had as many bankruptcies as he has is a good businessman 🤦‍♀️

I glanced at the Twitter page of a former senior Trump official and he retweeted this:







It’s one thing to be religious; it is quite another thing altogether to make religion a part of government. The problem with today’s Republicans is that there are a number of religious fanatics in the party who are determined to make this a Christian nation. They are a small but extremely vocal part of the Right. And they mean business.

What does that mean for you and me? These folks do not like birth control, abortion, same sex marriage, and certainly not anyone who is transgender. They really, really mean to get rid of those rights. They like banning books though. So think carefully about the implications of voting “R.”

Oh sure, you might think that *your* Republican candidate is all right. He or she is not a Bible thumper. The problem is, that they will *owe* some of the donors and campaigners who ARE religious quacks.

This is what has happened to many Republicans in Congress. They know that Trump is crazy. But they owe him, and they are terrified of his base. So they toe the line.

Look through this guy’s feed. He is not the only one, believe me.

Rick Scott’s NRSC accused of violating federal law with GOP attack ads in Senate races

The campaign arm of Senate Republicans is facing a complaint that it is illegally spending money in 2022 midterm races.

The complaint was based off a bombshell New York Times report titled, "How a Record Cash Haul Vanished for Senate Republicans."

The report focused on the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is chaired this cycle by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

"Mr. Scott has taken to saying that money could be the party’s greatest impediment to taking control of the 50-50 Senate in November, and he has been acting to make up financial ground," The Times reported on Sept. 3. "Under campaign finance law, a portion of the committee’s funds are supposed to be walled off for legal expenses, and are not to be used for campaigning. Yet in July, the committee’s biggest expense — a $1 million media buy, apparently for Colorado and Washington ads — came from those restricted legal funds, according to federal records.

Chris Hartline, a spokesperson for the NRSC and Scott, told the newspaper “If the Democrats don’t like that, tough.”

Apparently, it wasn't only Democrats who did not like the practice as the NRSC is now facing a Federal Election Commission complaint from the Campaign Legal Center.

"The spending, which appears to have been used for ads in the Senate races in Colorado and Washington State, is part of more than $3 million in media-related spending through the Republican committee’s legal fund, according to federal filings in 2021 and 2022," The Times reported Wednesday. "Federal law stipulates that money raised for such an account, to which individual donors are allowed to give three times as much as they can to the main committee fund-raising vehicle, can be used only for 'the preparation for and the conduct of election recounts and contests and other legal proceedings.'"

LOL at the very idea of TFG's sharing anything with anybody. Remember, this is the guy who gives himself 2 servings of ice cream at dinner (but not his guests). I can just hear him whine-shrieking, "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
