Jack won't need to be at the trials in Georgia since they will be on TV, though I'm sure they will be sharing notes with the feds too, including grand jury testimony. Didn't he commit vote fraud there with a trailer he never lived in but claimed as a residence? Whatever happened to that voter fraud case?

“We have reviewed the arguments raised by Appellant and find them to be manifestly without merit,” the South Carolina Supreme Court justices wrote in their opinion.
The decision upholds a ruling by a lower court in South Carolina, where Meadows resides, which determined he was “material and necessary to the investigation.”

It will be like that in court at his plea hearing, if Donald doesn't get conditional release pending trial! Only it will be US marshals behind him with cuffs.
The secret service detail will do the usual thing and surround them as they lead him away in cuffs freaking and screaming all the way out the door! Then they will make the best arrangement they can for the open cell next door, where they will listen to Trump rage and kill cockroaches while killing time until the next shift arrives.

He will have just about the same numbers Nancy did when she took over. We all know what she was able to do. It will be interesting to compare and contrast legislative accomplishments with McCarthy.

WAR in the GOP as Mitch and Karl Rove try to put lipstick on the pig. Not really war, Mitch knows that Trump will soon be indicted and what is likely to happen to him after. Donald won't have time to war with the GOP and take his base out, Jack is gonna take care of Mitch's problem for him. Most of the magats left in congress are on the requested pardon list and will be fearing Jack themselves. With Donald gone they will lose their backstop and support among the base Donald will demand they put it on the line for him in an ultimate demonstration of loyalty before he goes away. Mitch had better hope Donald is locked up upon indictment or muzzled, has a fast trial and conviction and is remanded into custody when he is convicted and not allowed to run lose causing him trouble and walking his base out of the GOP.

first off, mcturkeyneck would meet with satan on sunday in St. Paul's cathedral if it advanced his goals, but he would at least be discrete about it...that is the gop's only problem with anything trump has ever done...they don't care that he tried to overthrow the government, they don't care that he tried to blackmail Ukraine into lying for him, that he tried to coerce US election officials into lying for him...they care that he is open and stupidly obvious about it. the gop is the party that works from the shadows, so they can later deny everything they did, and trump really fucks that up.
THAT is mcturkey's only real bitch about trump's behavior. if trump did every single thing the same, but tried to be discreet about most of it, tried to keep secrets better, we might be hailing god emperor trump right now, and old bitch would be his willing high priest...
as it stands right now, they're both pretty fucked. Mcturk has insulated himself pretty well from trump's fuckery, but most of the high profile members of his party have not, and they'll be going down. hope old bitch can run a party that is short a few dozen of it's top members, and then convince anyone to vote for the ones who knew all about it and said fucking nothing.

Lipstick on the pig Roger, Mitch wanted to strangle American democracy in its sleep, but along came Donald and sucker punched Uncle Sam square in the fucking face. Then his buddy Putin made a fatal blunder by attacking Ukraine and Sammy jumped all over him! The battle lines are drawn, not just in America, but globally. The line between good and evil runs straight through the human heart and right through the middle of America too.

Donald has been going after Karl because he knows Karl is behind a lot of the dirty deeds that have been plaguing Donald and putting the blame on him for the midterm disaster. Karl lurks in the shadows of American politics and is smart enough to know the GOP is fucked, if it doesn't improve its "act" and at least have better PR. He has his work cut out for him because Donald filled the party with lunatics and morons who vote in primaries, while driving those with brains out of the party and into places like the Lincoln project and to the democrats as the only game in town for a patriot.

Interesting commentary fro the editor of Newsmax.
Ruddy: What Really Happened on Election Day 2022
Since Election Day 2022, almost everyone has been playing Monday morning quarterback.
Today, it’s my turn.
Republicans seriously underperformed and the establishment/media points the finger at two big factors: Donald Trump and abortion.
Specifically, voters were turned off by former President Trump and they reacted negatively to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. If you look at election results across the nation, neither holds up as the real culprit. In Florida, we saw Gov. Ron DeSantis, a MAGA candidate if ever there was one, win by a record 19 percentage points. In recent elections, Florida had been a close state in terms of the "red vs. blue" dynamic.
Still, DeSantis won so big, he even carried Democrat stronghold counties like Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. DeSantis was also a strong pro-life proponent, last year signing a strict heartbeat bill banning abortions after 15 weeks. In bellwether Ohio, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who also signed a law banning abortion after six weeks, won reelection by 26 points.
And then in Democratic Wisconsin, pro-Trumper and pro-lifer Sen. Ron Johnson won reelection. Even in liberal, extremely pro-choice New York, Republican Lee Zeldin moved the needle 17 points from Trump’s loss in 2020, coming within five points of beating Democrat Gov. Hochul. Zeldin was both pro-life and pro-Trump, even seeking the former president’s endorsement in the race. More astounding, the GOP won 11 House seats across New York state, including several in suburban districts with those allegedly angry-over-Roe women swing voters. As it turned out, 10 of the 11 New York Republican congressional winners were pro-life, and almost all were pro-Trump.
So, what really happened on Election Day?
I believe the Republicans completely misread the electorate. The GOP actually believed their own press releases (and yes, polls) and thought voters were just as furious as they were with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and their friends. Republicans thought everyone was shocked by Biden’s spending policies, outraged over his border crisis, frightful of woke policies like defunding police, and were really angry over inflation.
But they weren’t.
They weren’t because on Election Day the economy was much stronger than the GOP admitted to. Unemployment is at historic lows of 3.7%. Practically everyone who wants a job has one. And yes, while the first two negative quarters of 2022 appeared recessionary, the GDP surged in the third quarter by 2.6%. Inflation isn’t good, but its flipside is that there is a tremendous amount of cash in the economy.
Before COVID-19 started, the Fed reported $1.8 trillion in Americans’ checking accounts. Today, the amount stands at a record $2.3 trillion. In my book, Biden’s massive COVID-19 stimulus and infrastructure bills ignited inflation. But Republicans did a poor job connecting the dots for voters.
If we look back at the big GOP wins in the House in 2010 and 1994, both came after Democrat presidents proposed radical healthcare bills (Hillarycare and Obamacare). These bills led to a revolt of voters, especially seniors. This time Biden and congressional Democrats did nothing like that. Yes, a recession is looming, but voters haven’t been impacted yet. Next time could be very different.
Voters tend to cast ballots based on their current economic situation. What’s happening right now. While a swing, nonideological voter may not like Biden personally, they appear to find many of his policies comforting.
Biden handled the nation’s exit from COVID-19 well (largely following Trump’s lead); he spent massively on popular programs; he’s offered no radical overhauls of healthcare; he offered some positive solutions to the student loan crisis, and his foreign policy has been, amazingly, tough on Russia and China.
The Feds even coughed up a record 8.6% Social Security cost-of-living adjustment just weeks before Election Day. (That was mandated by law, but most voters probably don’t know that.) Sure, there are many, many problems with Biden. The border, for example, is in crisis — a result of his policies. But most people are not directly impacted by border issues. Even in a border state like Arizona, where it was the No. 1 issue for GOP candidates running in 2022, Democrats still won both the Senate and governor seats.
All across the nation incumbents—Democrats and Republicans—fared well on Election Day because voters generally liked the status quo. So, here’s my takeaway from all of this: Republicans who lost the presidential popular vote by 3 million in 2016, by 7 million in 2020, and who saw few sparkles in 2022, need to go back to the drawing board.
The old GOP game plan of playing to a dwindling base of older white voters is a train wreck in progress. Census data shows 2 million whites over age 50 die every year. These dying voters are being replaced by young millennials who are both multiethnic and progressively left. Demographics mean pure and simple that Republicans need to offer independent and swing Democrat voters a positive reason to make the switch to them. If they do that, they will be an unstoppable force in 2024 and beyond.
If they don’t, they risk oblivion.
Sadly, Newsmax has the comments turned off on this article. I really wanted to have some fun with it. Or I mean them.
