20 States Join Delaware State Dipshit’s Association to try and make us have more machine guns

Show Notes:
The Bud Light-ization of the MAGA Mind
The Bud Light boycott by MAGA nit wits basically worked. People who drink shitty beer moved on to some other shitty beer because Bud Light gave a trans person a case one time. That success means everything MAGA decides is doesn’t like is going to be “the next Bud Light”. In Florida, for example, […]
Not “hypocritical” but criminal
uhh… can we stop calling Republicans hypocrits and call them what they are is criminals? Voter suppression is a crime. Here is what happened.

Rumor Watch: Monica Beard working with people who know what the fuck they are doing
I’m camping out on the Highlands Bunker URL and smashing “refresh” to see if the good news I heard about Monica Bead’s campaign is true. For now let’s just say that there is a huge quality gap between Democratic campaigns that get it and campaigns that don’t.

Vivek Ramaswamy is paying supporters to find him donors
It now pays to be a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential bid — at least for those who can convince their friends to click a link and donate.
The 37-year-old Republican is launching the “Vivek Kitchen Cabinet,” a scheme that promises to pay participants 10 percent of any money they raise for his campaign. It’s the latest attention-grabbing initiative by the longshot candidate, highlighting the frantic race underway by 2024 GOP presidential contenders to build up their grassroots donor base to qualify for upcoming debates.

Trump’s legal team actually made a valid legal point.
NEW OVERNIGHT — “Trump wants classified documents trial delayed until after 2024 election,”

Last Week’s Poll Results & This Week’s Poll
56% of us find “Vaccine Conspiracies” & “The world is flat” the most personally annoying conspiracy theories. They are all dangerous in that they are all evidence of damaged, nervous brains.

What’s a company without companionship?
