September 22, 20223 yr Here's a look at the House GOP extreme MAGA agenda: (Besides failing at technology and leaving the website open) It includes such hits as: Nationwide Abortion Ban Slashing Medicare Messing with elections - Eliminating voters from rolls, allowing more disruption by phony observers, and states rights to usurp voters

DeSantis is flat out wrong: England's abolitionist movement was jumpstarted by the 1772 Somerset case, before the American Revolution. The reality is more complicated. Although there were voices on both sides for and against slavery (both before and after the War), slavery was de jure in the Americas in the 1700s; nothing was going to change during the course of the Revolutionary War. It was a North/South issue, not an American/British issue. Leave it to the historians to explain.

Not that watching them embarrass themselves isn't high comedy, it certainly is, but I'd be okay with them being force-fed education like they fatten geese for fois gras.

September 26, 20223 yr Quote Liz Cheney Will Campaign for Democrats At a festival sponsored by the Texas Tribune on Saturday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said about Donald Trump: "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he is not the nominee. And if he is the nominee, I won't be a Republican." So apparently she will switch parties if Trump is the nominee. She didn't mention whether Dad likes this plan. Then, Cheney went even further and said that she also strongly opposes 2022 candidates who support the lie that Trump won in 2020. In fact, she will actively campaign for Democrats this fall in races where the Republican is an election denier. One race where she will campaign is the Arizona gubernatorial race, where Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) is running against election denier Kari Lake (R). Cheney said: "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Kari Lake is not elected." However, when asked if she wants to see the Democrats hold the House, Cheney didn't give a straight answer. Clearly, her first preference is for sane Republicans. Implicitly, she is saying that given a choice between an election denier (R) and a generic Democrat, she'll go with the Democrat. But she also criticized Joe Biden, so she isn't switching sides. Her focus is on defeating Trump and his worshipers, not electing Democrats—except where that is a necessary evil to defeat someone who spouts the lie that Trump won in 2020. This move makes sense for her. If she is out on the campaign trail as a high-profile Republican (with a solid Republican pedigree) actively helping Democrats, that is clearly "woman bites dog" news and will get her tons of media exposure. And when the Select Committee reconvenes and starts more hearings, that will get her even more PR. If she wants to run for president in 2024, all this publicity will clearly help. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is turning green with envy. Cheney's decision to run in 2024 is obviously her own, but is going to be affected by circumstances beyond her control. Trump's legal woes are mounting. NY AG Letitia James has sued him for fraud in New York. Fulton County DA Fani Willis is very likely to indict him for multiple election-related crimes in Georgia by the end of this year. AG Merrick Garland may well indict him for violations of the Espionage Act and other crimes. All of these things increase the chances that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) will see Trump as badly wounded and will announce a presidential run early next year (assuming he is reelected in November). What will Cheney do if DeSantis announces a run? Remember, she is not some sort of Democrat in sheep's clothing. She is a chip off the old block—a conservative Republican who happens to think Trump is leading the Republican Party off a cliff. She wants to salvage the Republican Party. Her chances of becoming president are practically zero, so if DeSantis jumps in, it makes sense for her to go to him early on and say: "I am potentially willing to give up a run myself and support you under the right conditions. By the way, I'm available if you run short of cabinet nominees. Do you think you will have any openings?" Being a loyal cabinet officer for 4 or 8 years in a DeSantis administration would probably make her acceptable to Republicans in 2032 when she will be 66. This is called playing the long game. If DeSantis jumps in, challenging him makes no sense. Most Republican primaries are closed, so only Republicans can vote. Trumpish Republicans currently hate her and there aren't enough Trumpless (Trump-free? UnTrumped? DeDonned?) Republicans to win a winner-take-all primary. So jumping in against DeSantis would just split the anti-Trump vote and make it more likely that Trump wins by plurality in most states. That's the last thing she wants. So it will be interesting to see how she deals with DeSantis in the next couple of months. For example, does she support him on the issue of flying migrants to blue states? She's smart enough to know that DeSantis' plans certainly affect her, so there is no upside to annoying him and plenty of upside to making nice to him, even now.

Definitely after the MAGA grandmas and grandpas nearly took over the federal government. There simply wouldn't have been time to murder sicknick and prevent the nation from falling into the hands of the QANON Shaman at the same time.
