Kennedy Jr. confirmed Thursday it’d cut ties with Rita Palma, a campaign staffer who last week urged GOP voters in New York to back Kennedy as a way to siphon away electoral votes from their “mutual enemy” Joe Biden.
Applegrove:
Too late. She obviously felt comfortable in front of RFK Jr. staff to talk about how to make Biden lose even if RFK Jr. did too. And throw the election to the GOP House.

In the wake of O.J. Simpson's death from prostate cancer, Alex Jones Thursday suggested a COVID-19 vaccine was to blame, referencing a conspiracy theory of which there is no evidence.
Jones's X post on the subject included a video released during the pandemic that shows Simpson endorsing COVID-19 vaccines and encouraging people to "get your shots."
"Watch OJ Simpson demand you get your COVID Shots," Jones wrote in the post's caption. "Turbo Cancers are off the charts, and we warned you."
Adding commentary to the video was Infowars host Owen Shroyer, who said, "Today, O.J. Simpson dies after a battle with cancer, and of course you'd have to assume that he took the vaccine."

Applegrove:
Every emotional event for certain groups is a chance for the Alex Jonses and GOP to start a conspiracy theory. This one promotes RFK Jr. and targets people who saw OJ Simpson as set up by racist cops (only a few years after Rodney King cops got off scott free after being recorded beating the crap after him). There is a what and a who in GOP created conspiracy theories. What fiction is being elevated? Who are the target audience of voters? The 'who' is the loop of a lasso. The 'what' the rope that is reeled in.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will promote a bill with Donald Trump “aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting,” USA Today reports.
“Johnson will hold a joint press conference with Trump on Friday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence, where the top House Republican will tout the legislation to “elevate the issue of non-citizens voting in federal elections.”

building a 'retaining wall' to make it look like their election-was-stolen big lie is concrete. Humans build human constructs (human created fictions) in order to bond together and get things done. Think democracies, religion, banking and now Trump's big lie. Trump is building his construct. Are they going to re-edit the Bible too? The King Don version?

What Swing Voters Care About
April 11, 2024 at 11:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 71 Comments
The Economist: “Swing voters do not view this year’s election as Republicans would like them to: immigration is not the most important issue for them. Neither do they view it as Democrats wish. Their most important issue is not the defense of democracy, climate policy, or abortion. It is inflation, which remains sticky , followed by the economy.”
“Politics is less central to the lives of swing voters than it is to news hounds and committed partisans. They may not know much about Mr Biden’s position on natural gas or North Korea, but they do know that eggs are expensive and driving to work costs too much.”

And those MAGA clowns will 100% pick trump.
So I'll say it AGAIN:
A vote for RFK Jr is a vote for trump.

Rep. Mike Turner says there is a "chaos caucus" who want to block any Congressional action

Washington — Rep. Mike Turner, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee on Sunday derided a group of lawmakers that he says have continued to "stop everything" in Congress amid opposition toward additional aid to Ukraine and a possible effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.
"Unfortunately, the chaos caucus has continued to want to stop everything that occurs in Congress," the Ohio Republican said on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "It's not as if they have an alternative plan, they're just against those things that are necessary that we're doing."
Greene, a Georgia Republican, filed a motion to vacate earlier this month, teasing a possible vote to oust Johnson. That effort could gain steam should Johnson bring up a vote on funding for Ukraine. But it remains unclear whether there's enough political will among the House GOP conference more broadly to oust and replace another speaker.
