Sounds about right. Cultists are ignorant suckers. “Trump is the apotheosis of this moral degeneration of conservatism because he’s out there stealing with both hands and it’s right in your face.” So said Joe Conason, veteran reporter and author of a lacerating new book, The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism. “Take the grifting around ‘stop the steal’, post-election, 2020-21. Led by Trump’s son in law [Jared Kushner], they knew they were going to do it before the election was even over. ‘We’re going to keep our fundraising operation intact.’ And they booked a quarter of a billion dollars in a couple of months. It was amazing. One of the biggest rip-offs ever.” www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/jul/06/joe-conason-the-longest-con-book

Texas! Yee Haw! These GOP women begged the party to abandon abortion. Then came backlash. Gilda Bayegan did not have the time or the patience to choose her words carefully. She felt the party of Lincoln was in peril — and she had to speak her mind. “Every time we talk about abortion, we are putting gas in the tank of the Democrats. That’s their one winning issue,” the 70-year-old state delegate told her fellow Texas Republicans at the party’s convention in late May, a gathering of 10,000 delegates from across the state. Her party had already made abortion illegal, she said, and now some were seeking to go even further. “What are we going to do,” she said from the podium, “ … stone women next?” Republican leaders have struggled with how to address abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago, faced with dueling political realities: While outlawing abortion has been an animating moral cause for the party for generations, new abortion restrictions are deeply unpopular. After appointing three conservative justices who helped topple Roe, former president Donald Trump has sought to distance himself from the issue, saying as little as possible and ultimately punting the question to the states. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/09/texas-abortion-republican-women/

Yet, some of them still wonder why the rest of us think they're racists.

Goober Comer at it again. But wouldn't SCOTUS's immunity decision entitle Biden to executive privilege on steroids? The GOP-led House Oversight Committee subpoenaed three senior White House aides Wednesday, demanding they sit for depositions regarding President Biden's health, according to letters obtained by Axios. Why it matters: The subpoenas signal Republicans' desire to investigate whether some of Biden's closest aides essentially have hidden the 81-year-old president's true condition, in a probe that could drag through the Nov. 5 election. www.axios.com/2024/07/10/biden-house-oversight-committee-subpoena-aides

MAGA GOPers = Fascists Trump’s authoritarian lean appeals to the right. Swing voters, not so much. Democrats’ response to the growing tempest over whether President Biden should stay in the 2024 race has been to focus like a laser on something else: Project 2025. The project is a detailed and aggressive plan from top allies of Donald Trump to push American government far to the right and vest more power in Trump’s hands. Trump is now straining to distance himself from the project, despite its overlap with his own priorities and his many links to it. (A CNN review found that six former Trump Cabinet secretaries have been involved, as have at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration. A new poll gets at why both sides are doing what they’re doing — and how important the intensifying clash could be to the stretch run of the 2024 campaign. It suggests that if Democrats can drive home the idea that a second Trump term would be a more authoritarian one, that could alienate the most crucial 2024 voters, the “double haters.” Those double haters — the approximately 1 in 5 voters who dislike both Biden and Trump — tend to be the least authoritarian-leaning voters of all. After asking a battery of questions to gauge voters’ authoritarian proclivities, it found that 7 in 10 voters who liked Trump rated “above average” on its authoritarian-belief scale. That’s compared with about 3 in 10 voters who liked Biden. But the double haters were even less likely than Democrats to embrace such ideas. Overall, just 2 in 10 rated above average on authoritarian beliefs. While just 4 percent of voters who like Trump rated “low” on their authoritarian beliefs, a 56 percent majority of double haters did. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/11/project-2025-democrats/

Hurrah for the MAGA GOP! Giving truth to the adage that life begins at conception and ends at birth! A mom struggles to feed her kids after GOP states reject federal funds In her rural Oklahoma town, Tabitha Shinn calculates down to the penny for groceries for her three teens but still must rely on giveaways from a food pantry. Last summer, she could rely on the last vestiges of a pandemic-era relief program. That provided an electronic benefit card with $40 a month per child, on top of what she got through SNAP, the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program once known as food stamps. She had used the extra money for milk, hamburger meat and snacks to send with the kids to sports camps. At times those additional dollars meant the difference between eating and not eating, at least for her. She’d trained herself to skip breakfast and lunch so Trent, 16, Maelee, 15, and Maloree, 14, would not go without. A new food program would have kicked in this summer, had Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt not turned down $48 million from a $2.5 billion initiative that the Biden administration calls “a giant step forward” in ending childhood hunger in the country. Though Oklahoma is one of the most food-insecure states, with surveys finding that more than 200,000 children are hungry at some point during a year, Stitt suggested the administration was “trying to push certain agenda items on kids.” He joined 12 fellow Republican governors who ultimately refused the money, part of the bipartisan budget agreement Congress reached in 2022. Some said they were reluctant because the country is mired in debt and the government already spends heavily on child nutrition programs — more than $25 billion in fiscal 2023. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves called the new program an attempt “to expand the welfare state.” In Elk City, some 110 miles due west of the Oklahoma Capitol, Stitt’s rationale no longer mattered by mid-May. What mattered to Shinn was how families like hers would get through the summer — particularly those last days of the month when her kids get panicky without milk in the house and insist there’s “nothing to eat.” The state’s decision to opt out of the summer food card program was devastating. “We were pretty beside ourselves,” Palmer said. “The ball has been dropped for Oklahomans. We’re constantly on the bottom — in mental health, poverty, food insecurity, education. It was just another slap in our face.” The town’s rural location hampers its ability to respond to needy residents in other ways, too. In the eastern part of the state, two Native American tribes — the Cherokee and the Chickasaw — are administering the summer card program on their own and reaching 250,000 children, according to federal officials. The tribes, nonprofits and local school districts expanded the spots where kids can get free meals or pick up a sack lunch. Yet a large swath of Oklahoma remains unserved. The closest location to Elk City is 25 miles away. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/12/federal-funding-children-food-program-rejected/

Just leaves out the part that it is better now. When you are in a cult, details don’t really matter.

"record low employment" doesn't sound like a positive to me.
