State And City Livability Rankings Are Askew

Fox's Sean Hannity and his fellow Trump enabler Kellyanne Conway served up a big heaping helping of revisionist history on whether Trump wants to be a dictator and trample all over our Constitution, and the fact that he did indeed try to have Hillary Clinton "locked up." Conway made an appearance on Hannity's show this Thursday, and was asked about a portion of Hannity's interview which aired the day before, an interview where Trump again suggested that he would try to prosecute political opponents if we're unfortunate enough to have him be reelected, and ConJob tried to pretend Trump doesn't have a spiteful bone in his body. Here's the two of them trying to do some major damage control for Trump on the heels of another disastrous interview he did on Fox earlier this week. HANNITY: So in spite of this phony characterization by the media mob and Democrats, Donald Trump is not running to become some kind of third world dictator.

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.

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.
