CREDIT: DC Cannabis Campaign Alaska, Florida, Oregon and Washington D.C. could all vote this November to legalize some type of marijuana usage—but only in the nation’s capital could the will of the people be overridden by officials elected in a far-away jurisdiction.

  • Projection About Projection With 'Vegas Acrobat' Monica Crowley
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 04:37 PM

    Monica Crowley's reputation as a serial plagiarist prevents her from getting any job other than a Fox News projectionist. And here she's projecting with all the bulbs on. Biden won't go peacefully? GTFOH, Monica. And AOC is mad Trump won't date her? Monica, Trump is grifting his own party into the toilet, he definitely won't pay for your next "procedure." PS YOU ARE TOO OLD FOR HIM, MONICA. And the ultimate projection is projecting about projection, but if anybody can twist rhetoric like a Vegas acrobat, it's Monica.

  • North Carolina's Mark Robinson Claimed The U.S. Behind Pearl Harbor Attack
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 04:36 PM

    North Carolina's Lt. Governor and candidate to become their next Governor might just have outdone himself with this conspiracy theory, that the United States was behind the attack of December 7, 1941.

    Sporting a Cat Power ballcap and denim shirt for his runoff debate with his Republican opponent in GA-02, Chuck Hand gave a prepared statement with a cockamamie reason for why he wouldn't be taking part and then left the televised debate. But I suppose when these types of people see how contemptuous Trump is of democratic norms that they all want to emulate him.

  • Life Is A Beach For GOP Carpetbagger Hovde
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 06/11/2024 - 02:49 PM

    Here's a pro tip for Eric Hovde, the California banker who is running for the US Senate in Wisconsin: If you're fighting a reputation of being a carpetbagger, don't get spotted on the beach in California when you're supposed to be campaigning. As first reported by Politico, Hovde was supposed to be at the Copperfest Parade in Oconto County, Wisconsin this past Saturday: However, Wisconsin Democrats got a photo from a tipster of a man who appears to be Hovde speaking with another man whom Politico identifies as Carson Lappetito, president of Hovde's bank: Politico also reported that the hat, swimsuit and beach chair match those in this video which a tracker had previously recorded: [embed eid="60753" /]read more
