MAGA GOP clown show. . . Enjoy it, "Republican" cultists! When the Republican National Committee announced their first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle would be in August in Milwaukee, officials dangled the prospect of making it a two-night affair if enough presidential contenders qualified. Now, just over a month later, the prospect of an overly crowded stage is no longer a serious concern. The central party committee is more likely staring down a dud: the frontrunner is threatening to counter-program it, and perhaps a majority of the rest of the field, even some with gold-caliber resumes, may not qualify for a spot on stage under the RNC’s rules. It is, to be clear, a potential disaster of the party’s own making, one that could further seal its fate as only the nominal enforcers of the Republican brand. Former President Donald Trump’s hostile takeover will be studied for years to come, and the consequences of his talent to vanquish decades of GOP identity is yet to be fully understood. time.com/6293007/republican-debate-presidential-candidates/

There is no institution the radical nihilist MAGA GOP morons don't seek to destroy. Especially disgusting are the fake tough guys who never wore the uniform. GFY. Pentagon tries to stay out of Congress’ culture wars feud ut this year the bill, which sets military spending limits and dictates Pentagon policy on a wide range of issues, has generated an unusual political brawl due to the inclusion of measures in the House’s version of the legislation that Republican lawmakers say are needed to push back against “the radical woke ideology being forced on our servicemen and women.” Democrats have decried those proposals — which would do away with Pentagon offices dedicated to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion, known as DEI; reinstate troops forced out for refusing the coronavirus vaccine; and deny abortion support to service members — as a dangerous attempt to use the military to advance Republicans’ “culture wars” priorities. One defense official said some of the contents of the House bill represented “an unprecedented reach” into issues that have typically been left to the military hierarchy. “If their goal is to depoliticize, they have fully inserted politics directly into pending public law,” the official said, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss pending legislation. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/07/14/house-ndaa-military-culture-wars/

Tuberville. Fake tough guy football coach as dumb as a box of rocks. "Republican" right? Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) slammed Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Sunday, calling his controversial blockade of more than 270 military promotions a threat to national security. “It is bizarre for Senator Tuberville to say that he’s not jeopardizing national security when he injects politics into the defense process. And frankly this is not the time to do it, not when there is a war going on in Europe, not when American leadership is vital to the international global order,” Duckworth, an Army veteran helicopter pilot who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” www.politico.com/news/2023/07/16/national-security-duckworth-tuberville-military-promotions-00106502

"Republican" right? “I stand with our veterans and I’m going to donate every dime I make when I’m in Washington, D.C., to the veterans of the state of Alabama. Folks, they deserve it. They deserve it a lot more than most of us.” As senator, Tuberville has made veterans one of his key issues. The former football coach serves on both the Veterans’ Affairs Committee and the Armed Services Committee. He is now in a high-profile battle with the Biden administration over abortion policy affecting veterans. He has stalled the confirmation of more than 250 senior military officers over his objection to a Defense Department policy allowing military personnel and their families to recoup travel expenses incurred while seeking an abortion if they are stationed in a state that bans or restricts the procedure. Yet there is no evidence that Tuberville has kept a key pledge he made when he ran for Senate three years ago — that he would “donate very dime” he made in Washington to Alabama veterans. The Fact Checker contacted nine veterans’ organizations represented on the Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs. Three state affiliates — Vietnam Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars — responded and said they have received no donations from either Tuberville or the Tommy Tuberville Foundation. We also contacted other veterans’ organizations that the Tommy Tuberville Foundation Facebook page has indicated it has supported in the past. For instance, Still Serving Veterans is a Huntsville charity that helps veterans transition to civilian employment. “Still Serving Veterans received a small donation from the Tommy Tuberville Foundation in 2019 as the nonprofit beneficiary of a golf tournament he hosted, but we have not received any contributions since then,” said Debbie Joyner, chief development officer of the organization. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/tommy-tuberville-veterans-fact-checker/

He has to be a lousy attorney, because he's deranged. What more do you want from the guy?
