Miscellaneous Political stuff - Part 19

Did anyone hear about Michigan state rep’s tweets about the Gonzaga basketball team being invaders? I went to his twitter account to see if it was still there and man. He is a piece of work. Along with all of the other pieces of work that he retweets.

There should be no more debate whether Biden is fit to serve!! This shows, without a doubt, that TFG belongs in an institution forever!!

Big proud moron..


After former President Donald Trump attended the funeral for slain New York City police officer Jonathan Diller, he reportedly spent $200 on fast food at a Long Island drive-in.

According to the New York Post, "While headed to his private jet 'en route back to Florida, Trump and his campaign staff traveled westbound on Merrick Road from the funeral home’s South Chapel location to the popular All American Drive-In, Trump’s senior adviser, Daniel Scavino Jr., posted on Facebook."

All American manager Richard Vultaggio revealed to reporters that Trump purchased 18 “double double” cheeseburgers, 10 hot dogs, two quarter-pounder hamburgers with cheese, 20 orders of French fries, and 10 orders of onion rings, along with numerous servings of ketchup and mustard.

According to the report, other patrons at the restaurant chipped in to pay for police who were there.

Not understanding what the RNC issue is??
Ah... Maybe the rain had something to do with it?


Republican National Committee to shame former President Barack Obama with video of his descent from Air Force One Thursday did not go well for Donald Trump.

The RNC's X account posted the video, which shows Obama walking a few steps behind President Joe Biden, with the message "HUMILIATING: Obama follows Biden down the short stairs after landing in New York City for their day of ritzy fundraising."

The RNC appeared to be referencing previously reported news that Biden opts to take the "short stairs" over the more traditional 18-foot staircase, on which he has tripped more than once. The dig might also be at the fact that Obama was walking behind Biden.

Arizona has caught another illegal voter .. this one big time...not counting his fire arms application.. About 16 voting counts over the years ...


Republican hopeful Neil DeSanti is mounting his fourth campaign for elected office since 2020, hoping to secure a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives for his north Phoenix legislative district. He’s voted in 16 state and local elections since registering to vote in 2012.

There’s just one problem: He appears to be ineligible to vote under state law, which raises serious questions about the many ballots he has cast and his candidacy.

Under Arizona law, DeSanti lost his right to vote in 2010, when he pleaded guilty to felony endangerment related to a 2004 drunk driving arrest. Less than three months later, DeSanti pleaded guilty to felony possession of burglary tools after he and his cousin were caught stealing a metal ramp from a commercial yard near downtown Phoenix.

While people with only one felony will automatically have their rights restored once their sentence is completed and any required restitution is paid, people like DeSanti who have two or more felonies must petition the court to get their rights restored.

There is no record DeSanti ever asked a judge to do that.

He did return to Maricopa County Superior Court court to successfully seek an early end to his probation — he was sentenced to three years probation in December 2010 but the court granted him early release in December 2012 — but there is no indication he ever sought to restore his rights.

“It does not appear that Mr. DeSanti submitted an Application for Restoration of Rights (Civil and/or Firearm) in either case,” Jessica Fotinos, the general counsel for the Clerk of the Maricopa County Superior Court, told the Arizona Mirror.

‘I must have them restored’
In a March 27 interview, DeSanti said he had not applied to have a judge restore his rights. He initially said he thought that process happened automatically seven years after his conviction, then said he was “under the impression” that his plea agreements said his rights would be restored once he completed his sentence.

There is no language in either plea agreement indicating that.

DeSanti insisted that his rights must be restored because he has been registered to vote for years and has cast ballots in many elections.

“I must have them restored, because I can vote and possess a firearm,” he told the Mirror. “I’ve voted numerous times.”

About five weeks before the court approved ending his probation, DeSanti registered to vote in Maricopa County. In doing so, he declared that he is “NOT a convicted FELON or my civil rights are restored.” He repeatedly made that attestation when he updated his voter registration four times after initially registering in November 2012, the latest in October 2021.
***
DeSanti could be exposed to that crime, and he could be charged with a class 5 felony for each of the 16 elections he’s voted in, despite not being entitled to. The standard prison sentence for a class 6 felony is one year, and one-and-a-half years for a class 5 felony.

BTW - this date has been the same for 15 years. GFY.

How is that not a threat against the president? How is that not actionable? That is an outright threat and call to action. If he was anyone else they would be in a jail cell.

Is there any reason they can't rebuild now, then collect insurance money later?

I think the MAGA response would probably be different if this happened at a Florida, Texas or Louisiana port.  From the article

It is not a new thing for Republicans to treat disasters in blue areas as less deserving of our collective attention than disasters in red areas. But Trump supercharged these tendencies. Brian Beutler urges us to remember that during Covid, Trump didn’t merely neglect blue areas of the country; he used the pandemic to actively threaten retribution against parts of the country that didn’t support him.

Republicans and right-wing media figures who are demagoguing the Baltimore bridge collapse aren’t quite doing what Trump did during Covid. But their antics fall somewhere on the same spectrum of malicious public conduct. It’s the ultimate absurdity that in this case, the disaster really is a problem for MAGA country as well for Baltimore and blue America. Which is to say that, as offensive as this idea might be to MAGA sensibilities, it is very much the problem of all of us.

This pretty much sums up what most Trumplicants post nowadays. Absolute disgust and outrage over something that, a few years ago, they were praising/celebrating/taking credit for. To be clear, Trans Day of Visibility has been on the 31st of March for 15 years. Easter Sunday changes every year and will fall on the 31st of March twice in a 39 year period. However, people are losing their damn minds and blaming the current President. They're also saying he's removed the religious artwork on the eggs for the White House. This has been in practice for over 40 years and the Orange Buffoon had the same rules when he was running his own little pill mill.

The internet is forever.

Last I read H.E.B. is a quality grocery chain. Not only do they employ many, they through sales and major donations feed many more.

But again, Republicans and others have no problem voting against themselves and their best interests for the health and safety of their lives and families..

Busy fingers!!

@7veritas4, a parody page mimicking Special Counsel Jack Smith, also chimed in.

"Happy Easter," Jack E. Smith wrote. "Captain Capslock is risen."
