(Credit: AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) January is shaping up to be a big month for Republican vote suppressors — and a bad month for anyone who believes American democracy benefits when more people vote. On Tuesday, a U.S. District Court in New Jersey reversed a 36-year-old court order barring the Republican National Committee from using a voter-ambush technique known as “caging,” which its insiders notoriously used to purge Democrats from voter rolls.

  • TRUMP'S Biggest Fans Used To Be His Worst Enemies!
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 11/18/2024 - 07:19 AM

    The worst of the MAGA bootlickers, sycophants, doggedly-pathetic, turbo-suck-ups these days are either Republicans once vehemently opposed to him (see Lindsey & Mike Lee) or onetime Far Left "Democrats" seemingly (and in at least one case, literally) in cults of their own. Yes, Tulsi was in a religious cult in Hawaii before briefly being a Democrat while mostly attacking the party from inside the whole time and then bolting for MAGA. There are others, of course, many others.

  • MAKA: Make America Kittens Again

    I know how you feel, I do. "If only I didn't have to hear that voice again." "If only I didn't have to look at him." Well, I can't do anything about his voice, or videos. But I don't have to look at any photos. This Chrome extension was written years ago, and I checked to see if it was still operable.

  • Musk Criticizes MacKenzie Scott's Donations, So She Doubles Them
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 11/18/2024 - 06:18 AM

    Elmo Musky seems to think the world waits with bated breath for his pronouncements on just about everything -- but it doesn't. He's a lumbering fool who buys other people's talent and passes it off as his own. Via Fast Company: In a since-deleted tweet, Elon Musk went after Mackenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, for her philanthropic efforts.

  • Racist Caller Trolls CSPAN: 'The Storm Is Coming Your Way'
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 11/18/2024 - 06:17 AM

    A Republican man from Indiana told C-SPAN on Sunday that "colored people" would not have basketball if former President Abraham Lincoln had not abolished slavery. During Sunday's episode of Washington Journal, an Indiana Republican named Rick told host Kimberly Adams that the Bible said "that man is supposed to rule the house" and a woman should "just do the cleaning." "But anyway, on the sidebar, you know, ever since Abraham Lincoln got shot and killed, boy, chaos went to heck, went right along with the Democrats," the caller opined.

  • Republican Gives Dumbest Reason Ever To Back RFK Jr.
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 11/18/2024 - 06:17 AM

    Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Sunday defended Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services during a segment on NBC's Meet the Press with host Kristen Welker. Trump called Covid a hoax and held superspreader events where he danced while Americans were dying. And now he picks anti-vaxxer RFK Jr, whose brain was partially eaten by a brain worm, and keeps roadkill in his freezer, and is a serial adulterer to head the Department of Health.
