Oh look, another made up story from the new party of victimhood:

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign vehicle was hit Thursday afternoon in what the campaign said was an intentional act by protesters but police say was nothing more than an accident involving a driver unconnected to the protest.

Hahaha! So they just create their own victimhood whine? The billionaire financier who has $500 damage to his car can't accept that it was an accident and wants to show how terribly he's treated?

[voice]

I don't get the need they have to always be the victim, makes em look weak AF.

Though we know lying is in their DNA and they just can't stop.

[marechal]

They all take their cue from the "it's all a witch-hunt, I am responsible for nothing" Dump playbook.

They've done a complete 180 on the principles they used to hold worthy like law and order, personal responsibility, etc.

[voice]

But they still persist with the myth they are party of law and order, all while expecting their orange overlord be above the law and claiming those who took part in an insurrection to overthrow the government are the real patriots. Also that they are the party of family values and morals, despite potentially the third in line to the presidency being a bloke who covered for pedophiles for over a decade, supported by an actual pedophile, a convicted sex offender and a woman caught jerking off her date in a theater full of kids while having her tits groped.

[marechal]

Well, there are those that think J6 was a glorious patriotic stand and there are some who think it was bad and so they cling to the story that the whole thing was staged by the FBI. Of course what they share in common is that they are willing dupes without an iota of critical or independent thinking abilities.

[voice]

And there's more from the party of law and order

A top campaign aide to embattled US Congressman George Santos has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud.

Nancy Marks, who appeared in court on Thursday, admitted she falsified some of the campaign's financial records.

She reported a fake $500,000 (£410,000) loan that Mr Santos claimed to have given the campaign, prosecutors say.

It is the latest trouble for the Republican lawmaker, who has himself been indicted on several charges.

really. the victimhood movement is a left wing phenomenon. the left cannot tolerate different opinions so it's entirely likely they crashed into his vehicle on purpose,

sounds like reeducation camps to me.

Hillary Clinton: How does a little formal deprogramming of MAGA Republicans sound?

maga republican? i was under the impression anyone who support trump automatically made them a maga republican. so she's suggesting reeducation camps for 70 million plus people. i don't think even stalin went that far. interesting phenomenon. never seen an entire political party driven to insanity by a baseball cap before.

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe walked through the latest revelations that Donald Trump leaked classified information about U.S. nuclear sub to an Australian businessman – and said there is no excuse or downplaying of that charge.

Trump allegedly shared the information with Australian businessman Anthony Pratt of Pratt Industries, who then told others. In fact, Pratt said the number of people he told was likely close to 45 and includes a dozen or so foreign officials, several of his own employees and a handful of journalists, Gill explained.

The scene unfolded when Pratt, looking to make conversation at Mar-a-Lago, told Trump that he thought the Australian government should buy its subs from the U.S. Trump then "leaned forward" and told the man the number of nuclear warheads that can be held on such subs and just how close they can get to a Russian sub without being detected.

This treasonous piece of crap with his lifetime of fraud and scores of felonies is actually the Republican front runner.
(But Biden's son tried to buy a gun or something.)

But, but, her emails something something, Hunter Bidens lap top something something nothingburger...

In other news, in a move that surprised no one RFK switches to run as in independent. His backers on the far right must have seen how badly he was doing in the run up to the primaries and decided their money was better spent on just running him as a spoiler candidate in a last ditch attempt to dilute the Democrat vote.

Desperate stuff.

[voice]

Though you gotta ask, given he's much more closely aligned with the reps, will he get more votes from the right, given his conspiracy bs mirrors their's so closely?

[marechal]

Not likely that too many of them will vote against their Lord and Savior Donnie Trump inmate P01135809.

[flatandy]

It's interesting that Team Trump are now beginning to freak out about how much love they gave RFK earlier. I still think he harms Biden marginally more than Trump but both camps are concerned that he's going to garner 1 or 2% of the vote that will be enough in very marginal states.

[voice]

Yeah there would be some irony if all that far right PAC money helped Biden win

Total disfunction in the House GOP, no election for speaker today, possibly not tomorrow, they simply can't get their act together. Elect morons with no ideas and you get morons with out a clue. The extremists at this point are like a dog that chases cars and finally catching one, they've no idea what to do next.

[flatandy]

It's a good job there are no crises to be dealt with.

[marechal]

The Republicans still haven't been able to agree on a Speaker of the House yet. This is what happens when you let your party get hijacked by lunatics, religious fanatics, and conspiracy nuts. They've gotten to the point where they're all trying to outdo one another with their performance "art" for attention.

Never was P.J. O'Rourke more on the money: "Republicans will tell you that government doesn't work and then get themselves elected to prove it."
