Senator #RandPaul says he and his family have been uninvited from the White House picnic for members of Congress on Thursday.

“So they’ve decided they want to declare war on my family and exclude us from the White House.”
“My son and daughter-in-law and grandson are coming up because we’re going to the White House picnic, but I’ve just been told I’ve been uninvited to the picnic. I think I’m the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the White House picnic.”
“I just find this incredibly petty. I mean — I have been, I think, nothing but polite to the President.”

The Big Beautiful Bill...

Part of the panic to get it passed is that Republicans made a mistake when they passed the 2017 tax cuts. They set the tax cuts to expire in 2025, assuming that Trump would get re-elected in 2020 and then a Democratic President would get stuck with raising taxes on both the ultra-wealthy and the middle class, as well as corporations.

What are the Republicans doing in the Big Beautiful Bill? They want to make the tax cuts permanent for the ultra-wealthy and corporations. And they want to renew the middle class tax cuts but have them expire in 2029, just in time for the next Democratic President to be stuck with the label of "raising taxes on the middle class". It also gives Republicans an issue to run on in the 2028 campaign: "If you elect Democrats, they will raise your taxes!".

The person calling this out is a Republican!

For yrs republicans like Chip Roy have railed against the deficit but always vote for tax cuts. I’ll concede that Roy can be far more vociferous than those who came before him but in the end they always fell in line and so does Roy.

True. The only guy who hasn't capitulated?

This guy:

My friends in other countries really believe that Americans have lost their minds. I don't have a counter-argument.

They look ready to welcome the Baby Jesus.

It's true.

And, sadly relevant, it is in direct proportion to the two states' black populations as a percentage of the total state population. Race is a proven correlation in the murder rate in the US.

Arkansas has just under 15%, before including mixed race numbers, and California has just over 6% after including them.

 

[NotHardUp1]

I can't even even with this. It is obscene.

Clearly insincere. We didn't send thots and prayers.

Ah, Matt Schlapp has company in the getting drunk and groping menz club.

Michael Tait, a gospel singer who has won several Grammys, was recently accused of doing drugs and getting drunk with other men. The men told news outlets that they woke to find Tait fondling them while they were passed out.

Schlapp & Taint sounds like the most German burlesque act EVER!

Ditto on demographics. Alabama has more than 26% black demographics. There is a direct correlation in the murder rate to race in the US.

The My Pillow Guy is the latest self-immolation MAGA cult member to learn that everything Trump touches dies. The Big Lie cost Lindell $70 million.

This was a personal defamation suit that one of the employees of Dominion Voting Systems filed against Lindell. The jury reduced the requested judgment significantly but Coomer accelerated Lindell's self-induced demise.

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell loses defamation case

Eric Coomer, who worked for Dominion Voting Systems, was awarded $2.3 million in damages.

A federal jury in Colorado on Monday found that one of the nation’s most prominent election conspiracy theorists, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, defamed a former employee for a leading voting equipment company after the 2020 presidential election.

The employee, Eric Coomer, was awarded $2.3 million in damages. He had sued after Lindell called him a traitor and accusations about him stealing the election were streamed on Lindell’s online media platform...

Lindell said he went to trial to draw attention to the need to get rid of electronic voting machines that have been targeted in a web of conspiracy theories. He said he used to be worth about $60 million before he started speaking out about the 2020 election and is now $10 million in debt.

I might have linked this 2024 The Atlantic article before about the red-pilling of Mike Lee. It's a great commentary and analysis by Tim Alberta, a traditional conservative evangelical writer. It's a startling contrast between the old-time LDS conservatives like Mitt Romney and the MAGA-ized evangelicals (which Mormon Mike Lee seems to have become of late). Lee, whose claim to fame was that he was a constitutional attorney and Originalist, went from Never Trumper in 2016 to being one of the Congress members who tried to keep Trump in office in Jan, 2021.

Why Mike Lee Folded

In 2016, he tried to stop Trump from becoming president. By 2020, he was trying to help Trump overturn the election. Now he could become Trump’s attorney general.

Watching Lee from some 20 feet away as he spoke, I felt a twinge of déjà vu. Hadn’t I heard him deliver these same patriotic bromides at a Republican convention before? Yes, I had. It was 2016, in Cleveland. Lee had gone there with a radical agenda: to sabotage Donald Trump’s nomination for president. First, he maneuvered his way onto the convention’s rule-making committee. Then, he led a push by Never Trumpers to unbind the convention’s delegates—that is, to release them from their obligation to vote for Trump as the party’s nominee. I was there, watching the drama up close, talking with Lee and other ringleaders in a cramped corridor just outside the committee room as they schemed and argued and tried every trick imaginable to outsmart the party enforcers who’d been tasked with putting down their rebellion....

What began as a reluctant, transactional alliance—advising on judicial picks, working with Trump on criminal-justice reform—soon became personal. Lee grew to relish dining at the White House and flying on Air Force One. He told friends that Trump was funny, charming, kindhearted. Before anyone could make sense of it, Lee emerged as one of Trump’s staunchest defenders. He steered the Senate Republicans’ strategy to acquit the president following his first impeachment. Then, after Trump lost his reelection bid, Lee conspired with right-wing extremists inside and outside the White House to keep the president in office...

To hear Lee’s friends, allies, and former staffers tell it—and they did, by the dozens, though many requested anonymity to avoid retaliation from the senator—Lee is all but unrecognizable. Once a good-natured Latter-day Saint whose idea of edgy was doing corny impersonations of his fellow senators, he now regularly engages in crude conspiracy theories. Once a politician who seemed to be fashioning himself as a modern Daniel Patrick Moynihan of the right, Lee is now a very online MAGA influencer. It’s as if Ned Flanders became a 4chan troll.

Someone really needs to do some research to find out what happened to men (and their missing gonads) between 2016 and 2024.

All of these people realized they could rise to power by exploiting support for Trump.

He is an avatar for thousands of men and women who are cashing in on the hate and grift.
