He spoke to a nephew's cousin four times removed. Works for me.

Nebraska lawmakers vote against Trump-fueled push to change electoral vote system Former president Donald Trump’s push to get the Nebraska legislature to change the way it awards electoral votes faced a major setback Wednesday night, when lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to prevent the change from being attached to an unrelated bill. Nebraska is one of only two states that divide electoral votes among statewide and congressional district winners, which allowed Joe Biden to pick off an electoral vote in the red state in 2020 by carrying a swing district in the Omaha area. But Gov. Jim Pillen (R) and Trump on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to return the state to a winner-take-all system, possibly upending the final days of the state’s legislative session, which ends April 18. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/03/nebraska-electoral-votes-trump-push/

Demented Donnie. "Republicans" are truly moronic and cognitively challenged cultists. BEDMINSTER, N.J. — As former president Donald Trump escalated his attacks on President Biden’s health and mental fitness last fall, Trump released the first updated report on his own condition in more than three years. This assessment, however, stood in stark contrast to the relatively detailed reports released by the White House during his term. Instead of specifics like blood pressure and medications, the letter had just three paragraphs without specific numbers proclaiming that Trump was in “excellent health” and had “exceptional” cognitive ability. It did not disclose Trump’s weight. And after relying on a longtime personal doctor and then two White House physicians who had attested to his well-being in office, Trump turned to an unknown on the national stage to provide this report: Bruce A. Aronwald, a 64-year-old osteopathic physician from New Jersey — and a longtime member of Trump’s Bedminster golf club. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/06/trump-doctor-bruce-aronwald-bedminster-golf-club/

Trump’s abortion position just made his 2024 reelection even harder Donald Trump’s latest position on abortion is, basically, “whatever.” If antiabortion crusaders thought he was genuinely on their side, they should have been paying closer attention. He wants to convince voters that he poses no further threat to abortion rights — hoping they will ignore the fact those rights have been erased in much of the country, thanks to Trump. Democrats must not let him get away with this cynical ploy, which he has acknowledged is designed “to win elections.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/08/trump-abortion-statement-new-2024/Watch the new ad. Texas! Yee Haw! Why it matters: The ad places the blame on former President Trump for the state-level bans on abortion, like in Texas, that lawmakers have passed since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. www.axios.com/2024/04/08/biden-trump-abortion-ad-2024-election

In Arizona, Democrats remind voters Trump, GOP led to revival of abortion ban The ruling has made the Senate race in Arizona a microcosm of the national fight over abortion rights in an election that was already expected to be close. Republican strategists in Arizona are already bracing for the likelihood of a Democratic sweep of the state, thanks in large part to the court’s decision. Max Fose, a longtime Republican strategist who supported incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in her 2018 bid for Senate, said he expects the court ruling to have a “huge ripple effect on all races in Arizona.” Fose especially sees the issue benefiting Gallego in the Senate race and his fundraising efforts. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/12/arizona-senate-trump-abortion/

Far less concerning than the fact of severe stupidity.

Hey suckers and morons, just keep giving your $$$ to the Grifter. Stupid is as stupid does. Trump’s legal bills drain millions more from his political committees Donald Trump is picking up his fundraising pace even as he fights criminal charges in four cases and appeals a nearly half-billion dollar civil fraud judgment against him in New York. But his legal expenses continue to be a tremendous burden on his campaign and its allied groups, the latest campaign finance records show, accounting for 26 percent of the spending in March by his political committees. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/20/trump-legal-bills-fundraising-reports/

Only suckers and morons aka "Republicans" believe the Grifter. For years, Donald Trump was among Twitter’s loudest and most inescapable voices: a brash, bomb-throwing businessman turned president who could capture the global news cycle with a single tweet. On Truth Social, he is serving up an even more extreme version of his online self. His following is diminished, but his posting has accelerated. He has traded combative tweets for even more belligerent screeds. Diatribes against his perceived enemies have drawn gag orders from judges in multiple cases. His media diet has become almost exclusively right-wing. And above all, he persists in spreading lies about his 2020 election loss, deep into his campaign for another term. Here on his company’s social network, the former president’s increasingly confrontational posting keeps his most ardent followers primed for action, helps him raise money and provides daily fodder for a media sphere that exists largely to amplify him. And he has reason to believe his efforts are paying off: Polling shows that Trump has convinced as many as 70 percent of Republicans that Biden won the 2020 election because of voter fraud. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2024/trump-truth-social-posts/?itid=hp_latest-headlines_p001_f014

Jettison the racist Electoral College. After much public debate, a Maine law has brought the country closer to having the popular vote determine the winner of national presidential elections -- but it's unlikely that will happen before November or even at all. abcnews.go.com/US/state-law-takes-us-step-closer-popular-vote/story?id=109437887For centuries, white votes have gotten undue weight, as a result of innovations such as poll taxes and voter-ID laws and outright violence to discourage racial minorities from voting. (The point was obvious to anyone paying attention: As William F. Buckley argued in his essay “Why the South Must Prevail,” white Americans are “entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally,” anywhere they are outnumbered because they are part of “the advanced race.”) But America’s institutions boosted white political power in less obvious ways, too, and the nation’s oldest structural racial entitlement program is one of its most consequential: the Electoral College. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/electoral-colleges-racist-origins

One said Truth Social. That sent a chill up my spine. How the heck did that person get on the jury?
