According to a report from Reuters, the extremist members of America First Republicans “now control local party leadership in more than half of Michigan’s 83 counties” and that has officials alarmed as they prepare to hold internal elections this Saturday that could influence the direction of the party in the state.
Of concern among party members is that the failure of extremist candidates on the 2022 midterm ballot handed the state party its worst election results since 1984 — and they fear a repeat in 2024.

Poll Results 2/20/23 – DeSantis Nickname and Carney’s Replacement
“Meatball Ron” was a clear favorite (89%) for a nickname for Ron Desantis among the nicknames Trump was beta-testing. I happen to like “Mini Me” as it is both derisive and by including the word “Me” allows Trump to keep the focus on his favorite topic. I also really liked “Bootsie” as it keeps […]

If you vote for Republicans you are a bad credit risk (in addition to being a dumb-fuck). Republicanism Linked to Poor Financial Decision Making The region’s poor credit means Southerners are paying more to borrow money, assuming they can qualify for loans at all. That sets them back in everything from car and home purchases […]

The DEGOP civil war that wasn’t
I had been expecting a headline like the one below for a long time, but the coup has come and gone. DEGOP moderates never stood a chance so they never put up a fight. It’s like after Castle lost to O’Donnell, they just all said “fuck it.” They’re all MAGA nutbags and really aren’t concerned with ever winning state wide ever again.

Latest Hunter Biden OUTRAGE!! When will the corruption END??!!
It is now impossible to see how Hunter Biden avoids doing hard time in Gitmo’ over these HUGE payoffs from the Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Wait, what..? It was Jared & Trump. Oh never mind.
Former US president Donald Trump and his former senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner are still receiving financial benefits after fostering a close relationship with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during their time in office, the Washington Post reported this week.
This murky relationship with the Saudis puts Trump’s integrity into question as the 2024 US presidential election approaches.
The Saudis provided both Trump and Kushner with sizable investments after their term, during which they bolstered MBS’s grip on the country by arranging that Trump’s first presidential trip be to Saudi Arabia, meeting with him in the US, and siding with him in several controversies.

It’s the ides of Feb. And I have to sadly admit that I let my Highlands Bunker listening lapse while took all the football talk into my earholes.

DEGOP Rep. Lyndon Yearick’s basic point is that we need to learn to live with mass shootings
Permit-to-purchase gun laws are linked to fewer firearm homicides. State laws that require gun purchasers to obtain a license contingent on passing a background check performed by state or local law enforcement are associated with a 14 percent reduction in firearm homicides… But the DEGOP is in the hands of maniacs and gun extremists. Ineffective […]

Poll Results – Biden’s Takeout Choices
Where should Biden get his takeout? Touch of Italy takes the top spot. S.O. likes it, but given a decent grocery store, I think I can do “red sauce” Italian just as well and for significantly less money. I’ve never eaten there so I can say if Agave’s second place finish was just or unjust. Two […]
