Aw, shucks. North Carolina's Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-I'm a Liar of the First Degree But I Swear, I Really Was Invited to those Orgies on Capitol Hill!) failed to win his primary and will not get a second term. So, what's next for him, after this year? Some have suggested he'll go to work at Mar-a-Lago, or become a commentator on a right-wing network or something, although I have to wonder if there are any media companies desperate enough to hire him.
Dr. Oz, a guy once famous for being a cardiothoracic surgeon and now famous as a flip-flopping, Trump-endorsed, Columbia University-disaffiliated, quack medicine-promoting, Turkish presidential-election voting, non-resident Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, is effectively tied in that race with another MAGAist. A recount is almost certain to occur, given the margin of separation between them, barring some kind of election fraud 0r random meddling with the mail-in ballots, or some such silliness.
And I can't help wondering, how fun would it be if some of the well-documented Republican election shenanigans we've learned about were to befall Pennsylvania again? Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm all for secure elections - but there have been so many instances of Rs behaving badly in the Commonwealth, it would almost be too rich if they had a mess in the primary.
On that point, the former president said that Oz should declare himself victorious, without waiting for all the votes to be counted, because, "It makes it much harder for them to cheat with the ballots that they "just happen to find." And, he said, we should go to all paper ballots with same-day voting. I wonder if he's practicing his speech for November 2024?
Sticking with things the former president said, it seems his contract with Trust Me Social or whatever it's called allows him to post on other platforms after a six-hour wait. Yep -according to an SEC filing cited in this Vanity Fair article,
President Trump is generally obligated to make any social media post on TruthSocial and may not make the same post on another social media site for 6 hours. Thereafter, he is free to post on any site to which he has access. Thus, TMTG has limited time to benefit from his posts and followers may not find it compelling to use TruthSocial to read his posts that quickly.
I wonder, is there anything compelling at all about joining Trump's platform?
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-You Kidding Me? Of Course My Caucus Supports Me - They Don't Have a Choice) was babbling earlier tonight about baby formula and Peloton memberships, saying the Dems were too busy to do anything about the former because they were focused on the latter. Meanwhile, the House voted overwhelmingly make more formula available under the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Nine members of McCarthy's House Lunatics Conference v0ted against the bill.
