Georgia on Trump’s Mind, Mirth Control, & Boeing in Orbit: Headlines, June 5, 2024

The georgia voter fraud case is on hold

A Georgia appeals court has paused the voter fraud case against Donald Trump and others while it decides if the prosecutor can stay on the case. The issue is whether Fani Willis had an improper relationship with a special prosecutor. The appeals court will decide the case on it’s own schedule, while Trump wants the court to keep the case on hold until Satan purchases a Zamboni.

GOP: say no to the pill

Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would guarantee access to birth control. Democrats want to make sure that Americans have the ability for family planning, while the GOP takes note while watching “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

The Boeing Starliner spaceship has launched off from Cape Canaveral. And the best news is, none of the doors fell off.

Stink, Kansas, the Chinese Spy Balloon, and Trans Rights: Headlines for Monday, January 1

TRUMP HAS A CERTAIN “AIR” ABOUT HIM

Adam Kinzinger revealed that the ex-president reeks of a disgusting combination of armpits, ketchup, butt and makeup. 

Ivanka is going to cash in by turning Trump’s stench into a cologne. (“You too can smell just like your president!”)

Update: Someone mentioned the makeup smell could come from the iodine in cheap bronzer. Which means the greatest threat Trump faces is paper cuts.

Update two: Trump Fixer Michael Cohen says Trump (AKA “Donald von Shitzenpants”) craps himself. Video here. 

Update three: Eventually we’ll get a book about this: ”The Fart of the Deal.”

How Kansas Became the Hottest Economy in the US by Electing a Democrat.

This article reveals how Governor Laura Kelly’s policies of supporting key industries, reversing tax cuts, and increasing public spending led to unprecedented economic growth and reduced income inequality in Kansas.

There’s been a big expansion in industries like scarecrows, tin men, and cowardly lions.

CHINA’S SPY BALLOON RELIED ON DIAL-UP?

A Chinese surveillance balloon that flew over the US in 2023 used an American internet service provider to communicate with Beijing, according to a US official.

It’s amazing what lengths the Chinese Communists will go to to watch American porn.

Ohio Governor Vetoes Anti-Trans Bill, Shocks His Own Party.

Mike DeWine, a Republican, rejected a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for trans youth and transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, citing the need to respect parents and physicians.*

Now if we could only get Republicans to respect minorities and poor people.

* DeWine vetoed a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors, but then issued new regulations that would severely restrict access to such care for both minors and adults. The regulations would require providers to report detailed data on trans patients to the state and obtain approval from a multidisciplinary team before offering any care. The article exposes the governor’s deceptive and harmful strategy to undermine trans rights and health.

We Will Miss All of George Santos’s Accomplishments

Now that the House of Representatives has ousted George Santos from his seat, we should take a moment to remember all of the things that Santos has done over the years.

  • Winning the Heisman Trophy as a punter for Appalachian State
  • Taking the famous photo of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima
  • Writing the screenplay for Everything Everywhere All at Once
  • Playing the voice of Daffy Duck in Space Jam 2

As a side note, Santos left the House chamber before the vote was completed. He was probably checking the pockets of coats hung up in the coat room to look for loose change.

And then there’s this:

The GOP and Catholicism

With the confirmation hearing for Coney Barrett, the GOP has tried to claim the Democrats are making an issue of her Catholic faith.

But the Democrats have nominated Catholics to run for President: Al Smith, JFK, John Kerry, and Biden.

Of course, the GOP has nominated Catholics for the White House, too. Like… Um…

Well maybe they can pick one for 2024.

Senate Phone Numbers to BURN ZOMBIE TRUMPCARE’S CORPSE!

From a Facebook post:

Sharing from a friend of a friend. This thing is going to pass unless there’s more pressure.

“Just got off a healthcare coalition call with Senator Schumer. His message:
1. Grassroots pressure will determine whether this passes.
2. They’re not seeing nearly the response there was to the House bill. That needs to change.
3. It’s make or break this week. Unlikely McConnell will drag this on past next week because he wants to move on to tax cuts.
4. The following Senators are wavering and need to be flooded with contacts:

  • Heller is the most important (R-NV) (202) 224-6244
  • Collins (R-ME) (202) 224-2523
  • Murkowski (R-AK) (202) 224-6665
  • Capito (R-WV) (202) 224-6472
  • Cassidy (R-LA) (202) 224-5824
  • Flake (R-AZ) (202) 224-4521
  • Gardner (R-CO) (202) 224-5941
  • Portman (R-OH) (202) 224-3353
  • Cruz (yes, that Cruz – he’s facing a tough reelection battle) (R-TX) (202) 224-5922
  • Paul (R-KY) (202) 224-4343
  • Lee (R-UT) (202) 224-5444
  • Sasse (R-NE) (202) 224-4224
  • Share this list on social media and find people who live in those states and impress the urgency of this on them. Those phones need to ring like crazy starting today.”

    Do what you can! Please! Lives are at stake!

    UPDATE: I fixed the post’s title to emphasize that phone numbers are included.

    Roy Moore Thinks Evolution is Fake

    This is no surprise.

    “There is no such thing as evolution,” he recently told a Washington Post reporter. “That we came from a snake? No, I don’t believe that.”

    If Moore gets elected (for Pete’s sake, it’s Alabama) science class will go like this:

    Do NOT Assume TrumpCare is Dead. Again.

    Just because McCain says he opposes it, we can’t assume that the vote will fail in the Senate.

    Rand Paul opposes the bill, but he opposed the prior bill and still voted yes. And Lisa Murkowski might not oppose it since it would allow Alaska to keep Obamacare.

    CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM OPPOSE THIS BILL!

    From The Hill

    UPDATE: added the Murkowski link.

    We Bought Alaska For 2¢ an Acre.

    Now the GOP is trying to buy it off.

    Want to Show Your Senators You Oppose TrumpCare, But You Can’t Speak to Them? Here’s an Idea.

    Why not rent a hearse to follow them around during the recess?

    “I’ll Take Treason for $1,000, Alex.”

    So this picture floated across my Facebook feed this morning. 

    My question is, how quick would the GOP launch a probe if Hillary had won DESPITE Kremlin intervention?
