Why do I get the feeling that this may become the new way for Democrats to gum up the House (as if the House isn't already gummed up enough?).

Why would anyone in the US think that the SC is anything other than a front for the Dominionist movement at this point?

Chameleon of the Day: Nikky Haley, for changing to whatever the pollsters say and to whatever gets her another government-paid job.

The woman who, after Jan 6th, said that "we shouldn't have followed" Trump.

The woman who defended her husband, while he was on military service, against Trump's attacks on the husband's absence and insinuations that Haley was sleeping around while her husband was deployed.

Birdbrain.

The woman who said she would do everything possible to keep Trump to keep Trump out of the White House.

Feb, 2021:

Nikki Haley’s Time for Choosing

The 2024 hopeful can’t decide who she wants to be—the leader of the post-Trump GOP or a “friend” to the president who tried to sabotage democracy.

www.politico.com

“I think he’s going to find himself further and further isolated,” Haley said. “I think his business is suffering at this point. I think he’s lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think he’s lost his social media, which meant the world to him. I mean, I think he’s lost the things that really could have kept him moving.”

I reminded her that Trump has been left for dead before; that the base always rallied behind him. I also reminded her that the argument for impeachment—and conviction—is that he would be barred from holding federal office again.

“He’s not going to run for federal office again,” Haley said.

Haley ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY​

“We’ve lost seven out of the last eight popular vote elections. That doesn’t mean there’s something right with them. That means there’s something wrong with us. We’ve got to fix it.”

Haley ON THE STATE OF THE GOP​

“This is rock bottom. We’ve lost the House, we’ve lost the Senate, we’ve lost the White House, we had one of the worst days in modern history. … I’m frustrated that we are in this place, but I am not going to let this define the Republican party.”

Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she will vote for Donald Trump, despite maintaining he has “not been perfect” on many policies....

“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times,” Haley said. “But Biden has been a catastrophe.”

Another day another Republican who has hung their backbone on the nearest coatrack...

She is just opportunistic trash. Always has been. Can't change.

She never actually had a backbone.

Like all the other Trump ass suckers who badmouthed him and then kissed that puffy, purple hemorrhoid riddled ring.

Also.......if Trump becomes the nominee, I can potentially see a Trump, Cotton ticket in 2024, so he is staying quiet now for that reason too. It is Trump, rather than Biden, who is more likely to not fulfill a second term, and Cotton could be positioning himself there, and for 2028 as well.

Think Trump is bad? President Tom Cotton would be even more terrifying | Arwa Mahdawi

The Arkansas senator, who seems likely to run in 2024, is a dangerous extremist who appeals to the Republican establishment and Trump’s base, writes Arwa Mahdawi

Again, I could certainly be wrong in all of this, and I hope I am. But Cotton has the brains and speaking ability to deceive and bring in the middle, where Der Santis doesn't. Cotton is far more dangerous than people realize.

I know you all are going to disregard this and/or trash me for saying it, because you always do. So don't. Just remember the warning.

This is one thing that could happen, and it scares the crap out of me.

See...... I told you so! Watch out for Ultra Fascist Tom Cotton. I really hope this doesn't happen.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/28/politics/jenna-ellis-colorado-law-license-suspended-2020-election/

Jenna Ellis, who assisted Donald Trump after the 2020 election then pleaded guilty last year in the Georgia election subversion case, has had her law license suspended in Colorado.

The suspension begins July 2, according to a signed order from a state judge in Colorado. Ellis has been an attorney licensed to practice law in Colorado for more than a decade, according to court records.

Ellis will be unable to practice law for three years in the state. Other states that may recognize her law license are likely to refuse to allow her to practice law as well.

This latest action adds to the fallout for others who assisted Trump, such as Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, who are also losing their abilities to practice law. The Colorado attorney discipline authorities approved the suspension because of Ellis’ admissions in the Georgia case, where others such as Eastman, Giuliani and Trump himself are still fighting the charges.

Ellis pleaded guilty last year to one felony count of aiding and abetting false statements and will cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors. She was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution.

She'll probably just end up being a shill on a religious network ...weeping.

She made her living before this doing DUI defense and general ambulance-chasing legal work, along with her anti-abortion activism.

She has managed to raise $220,154 from the Christian version of gofundme. But I'm not sure how far that will go now that she has a second legal case to defend in Arizona.

One of the reasons that the US has fewer and fewer people willing to take on Washington DC White House jobs is the risk of financial ruin from legal fees. I don't think we've ever seen this level of flunkies getting sucked into the legal morass that is the Trump years.

On one hand, she did this to herself with the choices she made. On the other hand, Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, Mike Flynn, Devin Nunes and the rest of the senior cronies are making millions by being part of the continuing grift, while these "true believers" are in deep shit with dwindling bank accounts and the prospect of prison hanging over their head.

So, the story basically goes like this, some right-wing Nazis were going to attack a Pride event, and they got arrested, so some Nazi, uh, Runt? She invented a story on her blog that a Drag Queen who performed and then talked to the media about what happened was exposing herself to children (what else) and told all her troglodyte readers to harass the Drag Queen and the police to get her arrested.

Of course, it was just a lie, but the right wing doesn't care about that anymore. This was just pure malicious bigotry. There was no point to it, no political dimension, just get the f*****t.

This is what the Republicans have done to themselves.

They wouldn't be getting sucked into a legal morass if they didn't, with malice aforethought, volunteer to work in an unethical and criminal morass.

If my first thought when taking a Whitehouse Jos is that I don't want it because of the lawyer's fees I will end up paying - the problem with me is not going broke. It's being morally bankrupt in the first place.

I hope Ellis goes broke and gets abandoned by everyone who's ass she licked.

Someone FINALLY said it out loud, on air, with no quibbles, obfuscations, or pettifogging justifications.

Well, as odious as he is, Conway gained a lot of my respect for his vocal call-outs of Trump and the GQP since 2018ish. And yes...there needs to be more of this calling liars 'liars' when they lie on these shows.

Although then someone has to give the accuser enough time and space to give the facts about why the other person is lying and these infotainment rage chamber shows don't ever do that.
