These novelty hot chick Republicans candidates aren't all going to Marjorie Taylor Green-caliber retarded, are they?
It's all well and good to be politically based, but I'd rather not cringe and wish "God, if only they'd elected somebody with a brain" every time they're in the news.

I'm beginning to adopt the rule of whoever smelt it dealt it, whoever says the other is a RINO first is the real RINO. That's the go-to playbook for Pence-type conservatives who still think it's 2005.
MTG has been a lot better this year than her first after she weathered the stuff about her facebook past and her relationship to Zangief, she's been getting a lot of points in my book just for calling out Eyepatch McCain alone.

Found this in a Wyoming paper. Article about Liz Cheney where she states both that if she runs for prez, it'll be something OTHER than a Republican and (not surprisingly) she had a nice chat with Biden after her loss.

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney won’t rule out running for President in 2024 and if she does so, she may run as something other than a Republican.
In an interview on ABC “This Week” on Sunday, Cheney said she wouldn’t speculate about the possibility of running as an Independent or with another party in that election.
“I haven’t made any specific decisions or plans about that at this point,” she said.
Her lack of commitment to sticking with the Republican Party could be significant.
An idea has been floated within Republican National Committee circles that to be admitted into a Republican debate a candidate must pledge to support the Party’s eventual nominee for President.
This would likely be an issue for Cheney, who has expressed opposition to former President Donald Trump and other people considered as potential candidates for 2024 such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“DeSantis is somebody who is, right now, campaigning for election deniers,” Cheney said. “And I think that is something that I think people have got to have real pause about. You know, either you fundamentally believe in and will support our constitutional structure, or you don’t.”
Cheney said it “would be very difficult” to support other potential Republican candidates for President like Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who have supported Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
“If you look at somebody like Josh Hawley or somebody like Ted Cruz, both of whom know better, both of whom know exactly what the role of Congress is, in terms of our constitutional obligations with respect to presidential elections,” Cheney said. “And yet, both of whom took steps that fundamentally threatened the constitutional order and structure in the aftermath of the last election. So, you know, in my view, they both have made themselves unfit for future office.”
Former Vice President candidate Joe Lieberman followed a somewhat similar trajectory to Cheney, as he, a Democrat, spoke out against former President Barack Obama when he was running for office in 2008 and backed his Republican opponent, the late John McCain.
Cheney’s recent loss to Harriet Hageman in the Republican primary, means Cheney’s time as Wyoming’s lone Congressional representative ends in January.
There has been much speculation about the possibility of Cheney running for president, which she has repeatedly not ruled out in multiple times over the last few months. In an interview on the NBC Today show last Wednesday, Cheney said she would decide about running for president “in the coming months.”
On Sunday, Cheney said a person does not run for president to send a message, but rather, because they believe themselves to be the best candidate.
“Because you believe you’d be the best president of the United States,” Cheney said. “And so, any decision that I make about doing something that significant and that serious would be with the intention of winning and because I think I would be the best candidate.”
Cheney described the state and national Republican Party as “very sick” during the interview because of the prominent stature Trump continues to hold within it.
“We really have got to decide whether or not we’re going to be a party based on substance and policy or whether we’re going to remain, as so many of our party are today, in the grips of a dangerous former president,” she said.
Cheney has repeatedly said speaking out against Trump for her is a matter of defending the Constitution. She said in her interview on Wednesday, she would have won the primary election if she didn’t speak out against Trump. Cheney won all three of her prior elections by a hefty amount, running on a very conservative platform.
She also said she heard from President Joe Biden after her election loss.
“We had a very good talk, a talk about the importance of putting the country ahead of partisanship,” she said.

Trump aims to block FBI from reviewing seized items
Former President Donald Trump on Monday asked a federal court to temporarily block the FBI from reviewing the materials it seized on August 8 from his Florida home, until a special master can be appointed to oversee the review. Trump's court motion was filed in a federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida. It demanded that the U.S. Justice Department provide him with a more detailed property receipt outlining the items the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago home during its Aug. 8 search, and asked investigators to return any items outside the scope of the search warrant.The filing says, "Politics cannot be allowed to impact the administration of justice. Law enforcement is a shield that protects Americans. It cannot be used as a weapon for political purposes." His request was assigned to U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, whom Trump appointed to the bench. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, the judge who approved the warrant, is weighing whether to require the Justice Department to release a redacted copy of the affidavit laying out the evidence for why there was probable cause to search Trump's home.
The Justice Department at a court hearing last week opposed its release, saying it would provide people with a "roadmap" of its investigation and possibly chill witness cooperation. The Justice Department has until noon on Thursday to provide the judge a redacted copy of the document that he could potentially release to the public. The search, which was approved by Reinhart on Aug. 5, is part of a federal investigation into whether Trump illegally removed documents when he left office in January 2021. During its search, the FBI seized 11 sets of classified materials, some of which were labeled "top secret" - the highest level of classification.

Now, gimme all of the rainbows, but what if he manages to block the FBI's investigation? The REEEEEEs that would abound would be byootiful.

Something to keep in mind about student loan forgiveness: unless they roll out some kind of waiver, debt forgiveness counts as income. That makes it taxable.
You'd wind up owing taxes on the 10k debt forgiven.
Also, I'd be astonished if the Dems let Cheney run on their ticket, prez or VP. If she winds up on it, it's because they expect to lose anyways.

And there it is, in black and white, clear as crystal: the Brandon admin's claim that "WE HAD NO IDEA THEY WOULD DO THIS" is yet another big fat fucking lie. They knew damn well what Garland and company were doing, and went along with it because Orange Man Bad.

The issue is if she runs as a 3rd party she'll hurt Biden more than Trump. So they may be forced to let her on the ticket just to prevent that. By playing into her delusion they are really playing with fire.

The thing is... they kinda would be. They'd be going from Biden to Cheney, and Cheney is somehow the least terrible of two options there.Normally rats are supposed to flee from the sinking ship.

So Biden's going to try to buy off the Zoomer vote with some loan forgiveness tomorrow.
Won't this just open a big ass can of worms? What about the students that graduate this year? What about the people who paid off their loans do they get 10K back?
What about people who took out 75K to get a PHD ingrooming gender studies? Do they get the same forgiveness as a engineer or doctor?
I know the Dems are desperate but this is really desperate. I just wonder if it will backfire and how hard. Sure it will please the Reddit crowd but how many of those types actually vote?
