Beau of the Fifth Column tells us about Mango Mussolini’s announcement that he’s running for president once more, which apparently was also greeted with a yawn by Rupert The Pirate’s vanity rag as noted here (about #45, apparently his presentation had low energy – sad!)...
...and David Doel tells us about Our Ochre Abomination’s typically scammy online operation with Herschel Walker (the whole 90/10 thing for donations)...
...and of course, what would Life In These United States be without another mass shooting (an update is here)...
...and Farron Cousins tells us about ballots getting “fixed” in Colorado, particularly in Bo-Bo-Boebert’s third district race against Adam Frisch, and no, that doesn’t mean anything illegal is going on, as Cousins explains...I believe today is the deadline for this effort; if I were to bet, I would say that Boebert gets back in unfortunately, mainly because she has the power of incumbency on her side, sadly (but again, as Cousins says, nobody really knows what’s going on here, which is the way the process is supposed to work)...
...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us about the monumental political incompetence of Sean Patrick Maloney, head of the DCCC, and how he not only blew his own race, but ended up sinking so much money into a losing effort that it cost Dems in other races across the country that they might have been able to win (Slate article can be accessed from here...probably NSFW/H)...
(By the way, related to Maloney, I saw a really good post on Daily Kos that I’ll try to find and link here. The post had to do with $15 million raised by Marcus Flowers, who ran against Marjorie Traitor Greene. Yes, it would have been satisfying to see her lose, but her district was about plus-30-or-40 for Trump in 2020 at least, so seriously, what chance did Flowers have? Sorry if that sounds mean, but that’s the reality...and wouldn’t it have made more sense to spend some of that on, say, Tom Malinowski in NJ-7 who ended up losing to Baby Kean by about 10,000 votes?).
...and David Pakman gives us a bit of a preview of the '24 races, which look like they could be tougher for Dems...
...(and yeah, I know it's waaay too damn early for that, but that means that the clock is now running for real against "Curtsy Kyrsten"...more here)...
...and David Shuster tells us once more about all of the “red wave” predictions getting blown to smithereens...in addition to Pakman, Shuster also makes a great point about the importance of Georgia now, since, if Warnock knocks off Walker, the Dems won’t feel like they have to go along with this idiotic “power sharing” agreements on various Senate committees...also important to note Biden's judicial appointments...
...and RIP front man Dan McCafferty of the band Nazareth.
