    Trump supporter and former Broadway dancer booted from flight.


    Trump-supporting couple kicked off JetBlue flight after using homophobic slur and ranting about 'king' Elon Musk, China, and masks, reports say

    excerpt:

    "The woman, identified by the Daily Beast as former Broadway dancer Madeleine Kelly, was escorted off the flight with her husband — known only as "Gene."

    The couple, who described themselves in the video as Trump supporters, was then removed from West Palm Beach airport by law enforcement officers on Sunday afternoon, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, per the Daily Beast.

    Video footage of the incident, shared on TikTok and Reddit, shows Kelly gesticulating as she confronts a JetBlue flight attendant.

    It is unclear what started the heated discussion, but Kelly can be heard ranting to a flight attendant about free speech at the start of the clip.

    "You guys see what's happening in America," Kelly says in the video. "He didn't like what he said, and now we're getting kicked off a plane.""

    It was a moronic move by a former Houston cop to hold an innocent person at gunpoint.

    Governor Abbott can expand on the dumb move by searching trucks at the Mexican border for alleged bogus ballots for Biden hidden inside of equipment in trucks.

    It will waste billions more dollars of Texans like it did for his previous useless secondary traffic search stunt that cost an estimated $9 billion in ten days.


    https://theweek.com/greg-abbott/101...-cost-the-us-almost-9-billion-in-just-10-days

    excerpt:

    "Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's short-lived policy of requiring state troopers to conduct secondary inspections of trucks crossing into Texas from Mexico cost the United States almost $9 billion in just 10 days, Axios reported Tuesday.

    The policy, which Abbott enacted on April 6, snarled truck traffic at the border and led to a protest by Mexican truckers that stopped trade at some major crossings. On April 15, Abbott ended the double inspections, for which he'd received withering criticism from both sides of the border and the aisle, after striking deals with the governors of the four Mexican states that border Texas."

    Because of his stunt, Governor Abbott also lost Texas involvement in a Mexican pipeline project that would have been beneficial to the state.

    Donald Trump attends $75,000-a-head fundraiser at Kentucky Derby

    excerpt:

    "Mr McConnell is expected to retain control of the Senate GOP next year if his party wins control of the chamber in the November midterms. His fortune is quite the opposite of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who is expected to face a challenge for the Speaker’s gavel should the GOP control the House in January.

    Mr McCarthy has made efforts, including at Mar-a-Lago and over the phone, to stay on Mr Trump’s good side even as he faces a steady drip-drip of leaks regarding comments he made about the former president in the days and hours immediately following the January 6 attack.

    Mr Trump’s efforts at the Derby this weekend are part of a campaign to maintain a vast war chest that was outpacing cash-on-hand totals of both the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) combined, at the end of 2021."

    Trump reportedly thought Josh Mandel was weird when he met him at Mar-a-Lago. He endorsed Vance instead.

    Cawthorn makes Mandel seem normal.


    Even Trump Is 'Completely Weirded Out By' Madison Cawthorn's Antics

    excerpt:

    "Over the past three weeks, someone (or some group) has shared personal videos of Cawthorn engaged goofing in sexually suggestive antics with the apparent aim of raising questions about his sexuality to North Carolina voters. Cawthorn has pushed back by dismissing the videos as years-old attempts at humor, saying their release is part of a plot from “the left.

    Trump, for one, is not impressed. “Trump is not at the point of pulling his endorsement, but the [former] president says he wants to sit back and see what happens,” one of the sources recalls. “But he’s been disappointed with Madison, and thinks he has problems handling his [public relations],” specifically with the video and photos that have surfaced.

    The other source said that lately Trump had voiced bewilderment and disgusted confusion about what he’d been told of the flood of leaks and footage, asking at one point in recent days if one of the allegations was that Cawthorn was “fucking his cousin?” (That is not one of the allegations. Instead, Cawthorn’s cousin, who is also on his staff, appears in some of the videos where sex is discussed.)

    Former “President Trump is completely weirded out by the allegations,” a third source, a Trump ally, bluntly relayed to Rolling Stone.

    “President Trump is my friend and the leader of our party. I don’t trust anonymous sources and nameless accusations,” Cawthorn tells Rolling Stone in a statement. “The fake news attacks MAGA warriors every single day. Their lies won’t distract me from fighting for an America First agenda in Congress.”"

    Even Trump Is 'Completely Weirded Out By' Madison Cawthorn's Antics

    excerpt:

    "Cawthorn has courted controversy on a number of occasions before the recent leaks. He spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on the day of the insurrection and urged voters to “lightly threaten” representatives who refused to help overthrow the election during an appearance at a Turning Points USA conference. He has also called besieged Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky “a thug,” threatened “bloodshed” over future elections, and posed for some unnervingly enthusiastic selfies at Adolph Hitler’s former mountain retreat.

    But his gaffes never hindered his rise as a star within the MAGA world until the attacks on him took aim at his sexuality.

    The source who heard Trump’s lewd question about Cawthorn’s cousin noted that the ex-president made a point of saying that though Cawthorn needs to “get his act together,” as the source paraphrased, he did have the “good” opinions and did say what Trump wanted about the 2020 presidential election, for instance. (Trump has demanded that his allies propagandize his anti-democratic lies about that election being “stolen,” and has largely made it a litmus test for who in his party he endorses and who he tries to destroy politically.)

    While Cawthorn’s endorsement is safe for the moment, his political fate now lies in hands that have been notoriously fickle throughout Republican primaries and the buildup to the 2022 midterm elections. (Throughout the primaries so far, Trump’s decision-making has repeatedly been guided by whether or not he thinks a conservative is, for instance, “fucking disgusting,” “fucking gross,” or “fucking weird.”)

    The recent lack of outward, vocal support from Trump has left Cawthorn — facing a seemingly unending series of scandals including, insider trading allegations, multiple firearms violations, and leaks of sexually charged videos — vulnerable to attacks from his many mainstream Republican enemies. And he’s facing defections even from among the MAGA faithful."

    "sure, just shoot the protesters in the leg..." "just launch some missiles into Mexico, they won't know where they came from"....... This lunatic had his finger on the button for four years.

    Oath Keepers sharing with January 6 investigators their efforts to find election fraud, communications with Trump allies | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "Top leaders in the Oath Keepers, the far-right extremist group, have been turning over phones and digital files and sitting for interviews with the FBI – and detailing how they worked to benefit Donald Trump’s campaign and communicated with others in the former President’s orbit, according to court records and multiple sources familiar with the federal investigation.

    Kellye SoRelle, a lawyer working with the Oath Keepers, told CNN that she has met with the FBI several times and handed over phones. 

    She declined to say more about what she’s shared with investigators, but her ties to the group have come up in court filings, including a virtual meeting a week after the 2020 presidential election when Oath Keepers talk about heading to Washington, DC, and SoRelle briefs them about the campaign’s legal fight."

    I'll say it again: The goons of January 6th--the gullible--the useful idiots-- are being punished. (some). But seemingly , never the instigators --the plotters--the higher ups--the connected--the ones that are STILL agitating about the election, especially the lying, crooked, psychopathic trump. If they can try to actually, illegally overthrow this government, defy legally issued subpoenas and STILL blab lies about the election---what good is there pretending that this is a nation of laws??

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...th-keepers-call-jan-6-they-tried-reach-trump/

    excerpt:

    "One of the central questions surrounding the attempt to derail the certifying of electoral votes at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is how and where the political effort — raising procedural objections to the votes in hopes of pushing the fight back to states — might have overlapped with the violent one. It’s clear that there was at least some opportunistic overlap; as the Capitol was being overrun by rioters supporting President Donald Trump, he and his allies were attempting to encourage further delays to the process. But was there anything more robust?

    There is no known bright line between those two efforts, but there are a lot of dim, winding ones. On Wednesday, another was added.

    As the Capitol was still under the control of the rioters, Stewart Rhodes and other members of the right-wing extremist group Oath Keepers gathered in a hotel room and placed a call to someone close to Trump. William Wilson was among the group and described the call to investigators as part of a plea agreement on a seditious conspiracy charge."
