Sour grapes. If McCarthy was still speaker, he'd be comparing Gaetz to Mother Teresa and asking why people could be so mean to him.

That may be true, but I like his change in tune.
 
Honesty and the GOP

The Montana candidate recruited by a bogus political group​

Though the group claims to be run by citizens across 14 states, researchers at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found it was all managed by the same unknown person or small group of people.

Dennis Hayes, a retired builder in Townsend, Montana, had strong libertarian leanings and a bone to pick with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Then he got an unexpected tap on the shoulder.

The call came from a man in Arizona identifying himself as a volunteer for the Patriots Run Project, a group recruiting right-leaning conservatives to run for office. Would he run for Congress?

A donor provided the $1,340 he needed to register. Since that call in February, Hayes has been running against incumbent Rep. Ryan Zinke, a Trump-friendly Republican who he is challenging from the right. Just one problem: The Patriots Run Project, according to a new research report, is a fake grassroots group that was running numerous accounts on Facebook without any identifiable people behind the operation. Though the group claims to be run by citizens across 14 states, researchers at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a nonprofit that researches disinformation, found it was all managed by the same unknown person or small group of people who cross-posted content and all listed the same address at a UPS store in Washington.

The network of accounts ran for nearly a year until Meta removed them last week for violating its policies against inauthentic accounts misleading users.
Hayes, however, is still running for office, in a bizarre example of how fake groups online can shape politics in the real world.

By defining right the right way. The Libertarians can say they are more right economically, the Southern Baptists can say they are more right socially and the American Nazi Party can say they are more authoritarian.

Republican Candidate Tells Black Americans To Leave US in Juneteenth Message

A Republican candidate for Missouri secretary of state has told Black Americans who do like the country to "kindly" leave in a video posted on the eve of Juneteenth.

Valentina Gomez, who previously caused outrage for urging voters not to be "weak and gay," accused the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. of being the "most wretched" holiday and that Black people should no longer be seeking reparations.

The video from Gomez, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, arrived days after the former president's 2024 campaign team announced a "Black Americans for Trump" initiative to try to persuade African Americans to support the Republican in November's race against Joe Biden. The coalition includes Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott.

Gomez posted her latest video on X, formerly Twitter, attacking Juneteenth and saying: "If you don't like America, gtfo [get the f*** out]."

"Reparations from slavery and black victimization is about to be shoved down our throats for the most [wretched] holiday in America," Gomez said. "BLM raised millions. And what did they do for Black lives?

"It is outrageous to see people ask you for reparations, even though they never went through slavery. These ungrateful people should be celebrating because they were born in the greatest nation to ever exist.

"Here's a tip; If you don't like America, kindly, get the f*** out."

The video ends with a photo of her posing with an assault rifle while dressed in military style clothing. Gomez, a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia, has never served in the military.

Gomez is one of eight Republican candidates running for secretary of state in Missouri. The GOP primary for the candidacy will take place on August 6.

Gomez has been contacted for comment via social media.

Juneteenth became recognized as a federal holiday by Biden in June 2021, becoming the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was adopted in 1983.

Gomez previously received backlash for a video in which she made disparaging remarks about being gay while jogging through a pro-LGBTQ+ area of St. Louis, Missouri, in a bulletproof vest.

"In America, you can be anything you want. So don't be weak and gay," Gomez said. That video also ends with Gomez posing with an assault rifle.

Reacting to the video, Jason Kander, a former Democratic Missouri secretary of state and candidate for U.S. Senate, said: "So refreshing to see a female GOP candidate who never served in the military doing the whole veteran cosplay, stolen valor, bigotry as a substitute for strength routine as well as any man."

So, a non-white immigrant going full racist to make her bonifides with the elitists.
 
They really have become the America-haters that they've always accused the left of being.

Flag desecraters to boot, I was thinking the other day.

But theirs is different because, uh, reasons.

Saying their innermost thoughts out loud. This what the GOP has been building up to since the (racist) Tea Party movement.
 
Roger Stone 'Insinuates' Aileen Cannon Is in Trump's Pocket—Legal Analyst

Roger Stone "insinuates" Aileen Cannon is in Trump's pocket—Legal analyst

Stone, a Trump campaign advisor in 2015, was secretly recorded by progressive filmmaker Laura Windsor while posing as a fan.

Roger Stone's new audio tapes insinuate that Judge Aileen Cannon, among other judges, is in former President Donald Trump's pocket, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance said.

Stone, a Republican political consultant who was a Trump campaign adviser in 2015, was secretly recorded by progressive filmmaker Laura Windsor while posing as a fan.

The recorded audio reveals that Stone and other Trump allies are prepared to use "lawyers, judges, technology" and "every lever we can," to see a Trump victory in November's presidential rematch election between Trump and President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, on her Substack page, Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance, the University of Alabama law professor highlighted an excerpt from the tapes in which Stone told Ally Sammarco, "I think the judge is on the verge of dismissing the charges against him in Florida."

Cannon, a Trump appointee, is the presiding judge in his classified documents case in Florida. Trump is due to stand trial after being indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith on 40 federal charges, alleging that he illegally retained classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021 and obstructed the government's efforts to retrieve them. He has pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing.

Cannon has faced criticism, largely along partisan lines, for delaying the trial and not setting a start date.

Vance outlined a "legitimate" scenario in which an election lawyer, which Stone is not, would reach out to a judge regarding early poll closures, for example.

"But to the extent Stone is insinuating something more sinister, that they have judges in their pocket, that's entirely different, entirely wrong," she said.

She qualified her comments by adding: "Perhaps he's just making it up when he says Judge Cannon will soon dismiss the case against Donald Trump and that they have other judges available during the election," but given Stone's background, Vance warned "it would be foolish not to be concerned."

In 2019, Stone was found guilty of obstruction of a congressional investigation, five counts of making false statements to Congress, and tampering with a witness. He was sentenced to 40 months in prison. In 2020, days before he was to report to prison, Trump commuted Stone's sentence.

Stone, in an email to Newsweek, said, "I insinuated nothing. I stated my OPINION based on reading the filings and rulings in the case."

He added that the recording was from March, and "in fact Judge Cannon subsequently specifically denied a motion by Trump's lawyers to dismiss the case. So my OPINION was incorrect..." he said in his late-June statement.

However, Stone then noted, "Judge Cannon did schedule and expanded a hearing into the legality of Special Counsel Smith appointment. In the event that she were to rule that Smith's appointment is illegal, and that ruling is upheld, the charges against Trump in both D.C. and Florida would be dismissed. So my OPINION could yet turn out to be correct."

Stone's comments refer to Judge Cannon's hearing tomorrow on Trump's motion arguing that Smith's appointment was unlawful.

He concluded his statement to Newsweek by stating that, "Ms. Vance's INSINUATION is baseless and irresponsible and defamatory but I attribute it to her Trump derangement Syndrome—she is deranged," adding, "If Vance has some evidence that my comments were and are based on anything other than my opinion she should produce it."

Newsweek reached out to Vance for comment via email on Thursday.

Updated 6/20/24 at 5:05 p.m. ET: This article was updated to include Stone's comment.
