    This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

    We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

    There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?



     
    Rage is mounting among a shocking amount of District 4 Colorado Republicans who say Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “naked power-seeking” campaign will drive Democrat voters out in droves, a new investigation shows.

    The Independent Friday published an extensive analysis on Boebert’s chances of claiming victory in a crowded race where locals and officials from both parties accuse the MAGA firebrand of carpetbagging, abandoning her constituents and behaving very badly at Beetlejuice the musical.

    “You might be shocked at how many people are not happy about it,” a local Republican official told the Independent. “This just naked power-seeking behavior to save the seat…doesn’t really sit well.”.......

     
    Voters are still having a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that the Republican Party is really going to nominate former President Donald Trump for the presidency again, according to an analyst.

    Trump, who was impeached twice during his lone term in office and who is now facing 91 felony charges in four separate jurisdictions, is the overwhelming favorite to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, despite a better-than-average likelihood that he will be a convicted criminal by the time the election rolls around.

    CNN reports that internal research from President Joe Biden's campaign shows that it's currently having trouble attracting undecided voters at the moment — simply because those voters don't really think Trump will once again be their sole major-party alternative.

    One senior campaign official who spoke with CNN said that these voters at the moment are politically disengaged and still believe they will have a different Republican to pick from in 2024.

    "You can’t conceive of how tuned out these folks are," the official explained.

    And although polls currently show Trump slightly ahead of Biden, the president's advisers are making a big bet that changes if Trump becomes the nominee and is on people's television screens every day.............

     
    Per the article the bill also reduces the penalty for the remaining people (read your brothers or sisters or mom or dad) from a class C to a class D - unless they are under 12.

    What in the actual fork

    Kentucky Republican pushes bill to make sex with first cousin not incest

    The bill would remove first cousins from the list of family members with whom it's illegal to have sexual relations in the state.

    I couldn't legitimately date anyone unless I introduced her to my uncle Joe first. He's the family historian. This man could pinpoint relations to sixth and seventh cousins. I didn't know that shirt existed. But he did.

    He would take Nick Wilson to the woodshed and come back without him.
     
    I remember when SharonT on the other site used to warn us about ALEC. Looks like it’s still out there corrupting the GOP.

    In the nearly two weeks since Daniel Penny was recorded killing Jordan Neely on a New York City subway with a minutes-long chokehold, the 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran has faced calls to be arrested, been denounced as a vigilante by activists and been labeled a “murderer” by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).


    But in the lead-up to the Manhattan district attorney’s office charging him with second-degree manslaughter, Penny has found a groundswell of financial and online support from high-profile Republicans such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Fox News personalities and conservatives on Elon Musk’s Twitter.

    Many of them have rallied around Penny and hailed the veteran as a “hero” and “good Samaritan.”
“We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny,” DeSantis tweeted Friday night. “Let’s show this Marine … America’s got his back.”

    “The Marine who stepped in to protect others is a hero,” tweeted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
A legal-defense fund set up by Penny’s attorneys on a crowdfunding site that has hosted fundraisers for defendants in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and Kyle Rittenhouse had raised more than $1 million as of Saturday afternoon.

    Most of the money has come from anonymous donors thanking him for what he did and agreeing with his lawyers’ statement that Penny never intended to harm Neely, 30.


    The right-wing response to the case suggests that Republican lawmakers and pundits could make Penny into the latest conservative talking point.


    In the process, conservatives and right-leaning media outlets have described Neely — a Black homeless man who authorities say was described by witnesses as acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” — as “unhinged” and with “a long history of violent crime.”

    The political right has seized on police statements that Neely had 44 previous arrests for offenses such as assault, disorderly conduct and fare evasion. (Authorities have not confirmed Neely’s record for The Washington Post.) Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said the manslaughter charge against Penny was “pro-criminal” and “anti-hero.”……..

    A New York judge has declined to dismiss the case against Daniel Penny, the former U.S. Marine indicted last year in the chokehold death of subway performer Jordan Neely on a Manhattan train.


    Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley on Wednesday denied Penny’s motion to dismiss charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Penny’s attorneys have argued that the 25-year-old “risked his own life and safety” to protect other subway passengers when Neely began shouting and behaving erratically during the fatal incident last May…….

     
    This isn’t the only time Russian money flowed to Republicans.
