Peter Meijer becomes second House Republican who voted for Trump impeachment to lose primary https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/politics/primary-election-results-arizona-michigan-missouri-2022/index.html For reference, this was the seat formerly held by Amash. He is still the most influential Republican. I do see signs that he is not the big sell he once was. OAN going down, is a good sign. Fox no longer opening praising the taste of his knob is also a good sign.

Fox no longer opening praising the taste of his knob is also a good sign. Only 3 of the 10 who voted for impeachment would remain, at most. That's a sign the cult is still just as strong as it ever was. And if that's what the voters want, then the party is happy to oblige and will keep pushing all their chips in on him.
August 3, 20223 yr It seems Dems in Michigan ran ads boosting Meijer's GOP primary opponent, Gibbs, because of his alliance to Trump. Dems think Gibbs will fare worse in the general election than Meijer. Scholten better win the seat.

Fox no longer opening praising the taste of his knob is also a good sign. There are some signs but they are unfortunately pretty weak and don't seem to be generating any momentum. There may be a slight opening post mid-terms (they won't dare rock the boat until that point) but the last real chance was squandered by Mitch and McCarthy back in Jan 2021.

The sort of thing that gets you into situations where you end up with people like Trump holding office.

August 4, 20223 yr What did Navarro do with the E-mails? This criminal belongs in prison. Trump ally Navarro sued for alleged unofficial email account NEW YORK (AP) — The Justice Department filed suit Wednesday against Peter Navarro, claiming the former adviser to Donald Trump used an unofficial email account while working in the White House and wrongfully retained presidential records. The lawsuit in federal court in Washington claims Navarro used at least one "non-official" email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails. The legal action comes just weeks after Navarro was indicted on criminal charges after refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The civil cases alleges that by using the unofficial email account, Navarro failed to turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration. The Justice Department is asking a federal judge for an order "authorizing the recovery of any Presidential records in the possession, custody, and/or control of Mr. Navarro.” The suit also seeks unspecified damages. "Mr. Navarro is wrongfully retaining Presidential records that are the property of the United States, and which constitute part of the permanent historical record of the prior administration,” the suit states. A lawyer representing Navarro in the criminal case did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment about the civil case.
