Christine Todd Whitman: Rnc Chairman Can Signal New Gop

Fox News host Emily Compagno claimed with hot air and a pocket full of fairy dust that if not for the suppression of Hunter Biden's laptop, Trump would have acquired 300K voters in all the swing states who voted against him in the 2020 election, and he would have won. I wonder if the Fox News host got all excited after watching the movie 300, and hatched that insane scenario. Payne: Well, they have to be worried about what else might've been on the laptop.

Needing some clickbait probably, The Federalist (a far-right conservative online magazine funded by right-wing billionaires) resorted to slagging America's sweetheart and cultural icon, Dolly Parton. And their reasoning? She doesn't hate on the gays as a good Christian is supposed to do, at least in their perverse worldview. And who did they enlist for this thankless task (although probably well-compensated for her 703 words of shameless bigotry) but an Evangelical writer for World magazine and reporter for Christianity Today named Ericka Andersen. Source: The Federalist To be sure, the culture is on a constant witch hunt for those who would call homosexuality sinful.

Senator Tommy Tuberville turned into a Putin stooge with Steve Bannon when he claimed the reason Russia attacked Ukraine was to stop NATO missiles from being installed there. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, therefore there can't be any NATO missiles to contend with. How do these crackpots ever get elected? TUBERVILLE: But we're, the neocons here, the people, and Biden and them, they are embarrassed.

Puddin’ Fingers DeSantis now has the power to override the will of voters and remove almost any prosecutor he doesn’t like. The anti-democratic decision came from an all-Republican court, natch. The ruling was in response to State Attorney Monique Worrell's challenge of her suspension by Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis seems to be making a habit of suspending duly-elected prosecutors he doesn’t like. Law Dork’s Chris Geidner called the ruling “a stark escalation of the line of cases and, ultimately, of the governor’s power.” It’s also a stark diminution of the voters’ power. On a 6-1 vote Thursday, the Florida Supreme Court gave its governor all-but-unfettered power to remove locally elected prosecutors — a power that could quickly render Floridians’ “freedom” to “vote” for a prosecutor a fiction unless federal courts step in.

Eric Swalwell is a master at messaging. At positively messaging Democratic accomplishments, at negatively messaging Republican failures and so much more. In this video reminds us of so many important things we must do to win the battle of ideas--don't let them silence you, aggressively remind people Trump is a felon, use repetition so people remember, use props to help people understand, make it spicey (Gaetz' alleged "sex trafficking) and make horrible people (Trump, Gaetz, Jordan) the face of the GOP, don't let Republicans ever make a charge without pointing out their hypocrisy (Jim Jordan wanting to subpoena people when he refused his Jan 6th subpoena). Swalwell also does it with confidence, aggressiveness, ie strength.
