    fascinating conversation on the bulwark podcast

    I haven’t listened to it but white “rural” rage? Seems like just “white” rage to me.  Orange is the new white? Or is it white is the new orange? So much winning has me confused. And outraged!

    rural america makes up the largest % of the gop base.  really its resentment not rage but that was what the guests chose for the title of the book.
    Funny thing is, what’s the resentment out there in rural, “white” ‘MUrica?

    listen and find out.
    Sorry, don’t need to. I can guess.

    Huh and here I thought you were a fan of intelligent conversation. Learn something new every day

    Priorities, Yo!

    The bill also includes a 6 percent cut to foreign aid programs, already a minuscule slice of federal spending, and a Republican change to the law that prohibits nonofficial U.S. flags from flying atop American embassies. GOP lawmakers hope to use that provision, a slightly narrower version of which had previously been in place, to prevent Biden-nominated officials from displaying Pride flags at official locations at U.S. diplomatic outposts.
    i thought this would allow them to fly trump flags and the "don't tred on snek" flags on diplomatic outposts??

    Even some conservatives question the name.  From Heather Cox Richardson's letter last night:

    This morning, conservative lawyer George Conway suggested that “we should stop defiling the memory of the party of Lincoln by referring to the current organization” as the Republican Party.

    I'm not sure he would go so far as to call it The MAGA Party, but it sure has changed.  And how strange that so many so-called Republicans continue to allow the likes of Trump and MTG to make such an utter mess of their (former) party.  Maybe the best name for that part today would be "The Shit Show".

    In theory the GOP could have a problem. You have to be 100% on the Trump Train to win a nomination. But those 100% on the Trump Train probably don't do as well against their Democratic opponents as a more traditional Republican would.

    That said, for House seats, some districts are just so conservative it doesn't matter.
    Well that's not really a theory anymore. It is an actual problem that they have been dealing with for the past 8 years.

    Yes...Welker hammered her and then Chuck Todd came out in the next segment and apologized on behalf of NBC to Welker for putting her in that spot.

    McDaniel went too fucking far defending that piece of shit. I give her some credit for disagreeing with tRump on several things but she fucking deserves a lifetime of no credibility.

    i heard maddow railed on the network for 29 minutes last night. i also heard lawrence hammered them too. i did not expect the evening anchors to have that kind of pull.

    nbc is doing the right thing here, but they should have never hired her in the first place.

    So much winning. What a happening tailpipe of a party.

    GOP official who claimed 2020 election was stolen voted illegally 9 times, judge rules

    A Georgia Republican official who pushed false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” was found to have voted illegally nine times, a judge ruled this week.

    Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, as well as investigative costs, and be publicly reprimanded.

    Pritchard had been sentenced in 1996 in Pennsylvania to three years’ probation for felony check forgery charges. His probation was revoked three times — once in 1999, after he moved to Georgia, and again in 2002 and 2004. In 2004, a judge imposed a new seven-year probationary sentence on Pritchard, thus making him ineligible to vote until at least 2011 in Georgia, where state law prohibits felons from voting.

    Despite that, court documents showed that Pritchard signed voter registration forms in 2008 in which he affirmed that he was “not serving a sentence for having been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude.” He then cast ballots in four Georgia primary and general elections in 2008, as well as five special, primary and general elections in 2010.

    According to court documents, Pritchard testified that he thought his felony sentence had ended in 1999.

    “Do you think the first time I voted, I said, ‘Oh, I got away with it. Let’s do it eight more times?' ” Pritchard said, as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    Representatives for the Georgia GOP and for Pritchard’s attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    Pritchard is a conservative talk show host and the owner of fetchyournews.com, which he has described as a conservative political news site. He also ran unsuccessfully in a special election for a Georgia state House seat last year.

    In a 2022 story for his website, Pritchard railed against those who had alleged he had voted illegally, accusing them in turn of trying to “manipulate an election.” He also maintained he had done nothing wrong.

    “Yes, for those who think a person charged with a felony can’t vote, wrong. First, in the state of Pennsylvania the only time you lose your voting rights is if you are incarcerated,” Pritchard wrote. “Considering I have never spent a night in jail in my entire life …(can everyone say that) I never lost my voting rights in PA. Once your sentence has expired you can vote in the state of Georgia. Yes it’s true!”

    Pritchard has also touted former president Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him. In a 2022 episode of his talk show, Pritchard criticized the “corrupt media” and Georgia election officials for being “complicit” in what he called stealing the election.

    “I do not believe 81 million people voted for this guy,” Pritchard said, referring to Joe Biden.

    In a questionnaire he filled out while running for first vice chairman of the Georgia GOP last year, Pritchard said he hoped to “leverage the influence of the grassroots conservative movement to improve election integrity.”
