Comment on Some Dems still skittish on health care; GOP riled

So Clarence Thomas took several more trips on the private plane of GOP megadonor Harlan Crow than were previously known, Sen. Dick Durbin revealed yesterday. Between the private yachts and the luxury jet trips, when the hell did he have the time to tour trailer parks on his luxury megabus?

Killer Kyle Rittenhouse was recently appointed as the Outreach Director for a group called Texas Gun Rights: Excited to be part of the team! https://t.co/npiiDtvtDx — Kyle Rittenhouse (@ThisIsKyleR) June 11, 2024 Per the press release, apparently Killer Kyle's qualifications are that he is, well, a killer. They actually touted Kyle's shooting and killing two people and injuring a third person as giving him a "unique perspective." Well, you know that they couldn't set the bar too high if he was deemed too stupid to join the Marines. I wonder if his motto will be "Reach out and shoot someone." It is rather ironic that this announcement was made as Hunter Biden was convicted on felony charges for illegal possession of a firearm and lying on the background check form. It does give one pause to wonder if there is indeed a two-tiered justice system in this country. On one hand, a guy who lied on a form and illegally possessed a gun is now a convicted felon.

Fox's Jesse Watters is the last person anyone should be asking for dating tips, but the hosts on this Tuesday's The Five decided to go there anyway. Here's the discussion about dating apps at the close of the show where apparently none of Watters' cohosts thought there was anything creepy about asking a guy who dumped his wife and kids for a 25-year-old coworker for his thoughts on the topic: FOWLER: Greg, what happened just going to a bar and meeting someone? GUTFELD: It's interesting.

GOP senators were a vision of spinelessness as they slobbered over the convicted felon who nearly got them killed on Jan. 6, 2021. The felon, however, looked and sounded quite diminished. He spoke to a gathering of reporters in what seemed to be a planned press conference. But after five minutes, the guy who seems like he can never get enough attention called it quits and refused to take questions. Trump pretends to be so brave he’s willing to face down a guillotine.

Above, Berlin perform, No More Words. We gotta keep beating this drum: The GOP is falling in line behind and enabling a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who tried to overthrow the government in 2021. That’s the message. News Corpse presents the latest conspiracy theory. Max's Dad has a blue plate special. The Daily Blast Greg Sargent's podcast had Dahlia Lithwick as a guest.

Representative Tom Tiffany (MAGA-WI) sat down with CNN's Boris Sanchez for an interview when he tried to spew the Republican conspiracy theory that President Biden was involved in influence peddling with Ukraine. He was not prepared for Sanchez who had done his homework and had the receipts. Tiffany didn't know what hit him: SANCHEZ: And there's no evidence in any of the documents put out by the Oversight Committee that a single dollar went to President Biden when he was in office, therefore there's no evidence that he did anything illegal, that he abused his power, or that he abused his power in office to help his family members or friends get wealthy. TIFFANY: Joe Biden has a check in, in the amount of $40,000 that has his name on it, you got another $200,000 check that came from Jim and Sarah Biden to him.
