Chaos
Mitch McConnell went to give a press briefing and froze. He stared and couldn’t talk. It looked like he had some sort of stroke. He had to be escorted away from the podium. The minority leader in the Senate is not well.
Social media feeds weren’t full of tacky, cruel memes making fun of Mitch McConnell like Republicans make every time Joe Biden has a mishap in public. That’s because Democrats are better. Right wing media would be covering it 24/7 and the Republicans would be calling for the 25th amendement if Biden did the same thing.
The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on UFOs to hear from 3 witnesses, all military veterans. They testified under oath that the government has biological material (not human) retrieved from crash sites, is funding UFO research with misappropriated funds (money that was designated to go to one thing but was diverted into UFOs instead), operates a secret “multi-decade” reverse engineering program of recovered vessels, and has known about UFOs since the 1930s. People testifying before Congress about the proof of life beyond our planet should be huge news but since we’re so used to chaos, being lied to, and being hit with bullshit by Republicans 24/7 nobody is fazed.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Congressman Eric Swalwell got into it outside of the House chambers. Swalwell is sick of McCarthy’s bullshit. McCarthy threatened Swalwell. He told him, “If you call me a pussy again I’m gonna kick your ass.” Swalwell said, “You. Are. A. Pussy.” Then McCarthy slinked away. He’s a pussy.
James Comer let it slip that they’re going to impeach Biden “because the Democrats impeached Donald Trump twice.”
A federal judge said she wasn’t ready to accept Hunter Biden’s plea deal regarding unpaid taxes and lying on a gun purchase. This is giving the Republicans more flesh to tear away from Hunter’s bones.
While Jim Jordan abuses his power by holding bogus hearings with subpoena power he has failed to respond to his own subpoenas for over 500 days.
Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace made a speech at a Republican prayer breakfast. She told the crowd that she had the chance to have premarital sex but went to the breakfast instead: “My fiancé tried to pull me by my waist in bed and I was like ‘no baby’… I’ll see him later tonight.”
Republican Derrick Van Orden was partying with people in is office (booze bottles were seen all over his desk). He went off on teenage Senate pages who were out in the rotunda, taking pictures and lying down. He cussed them out.
House Republican bullshit leader, Steve Scalise, made a speech on the House floor in support of GOP appropriation bills. Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush yelled out, “Your bills are racist!” The chambers descended into chaos. Cori Bush is right.
House Republican leaders postponed votes for a must-pass government funding bill and then broke for a 6 week vacation which means we could be in for another Republican led government shutdown in September.
Trump’s legal team met with Jack Smith yesterday morning and were told that Trump was going to be indicted for post 2020 election crimes.
While people waited to hear about the former president getting indicted for a third time, federal prosecutors announced that they had 3 new criminal charges against Trump in the classified documents case. Trump got an aide to try and keep security camera footage away from investigators by removing and destroying evidence. Trump asked employees to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage. A third defendant has been added to Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump — Carlos De Oliveira. He lied to the FBI for Trump and told the IT guy that “the boss” wanted the server deleted. He drained the pool to flood the room where the server was. He and Walt Nauta also told the IT guy that Trump wanted the security camera removed so the grand jury couldn’t get it. This all shows a consciousness of guilt for all the charged crimes under the Espionage Act.
Trump made a huge deal out of a supposed secret server that Hillary while campaigning in 2016 and now Biden will get to make a huge deal out of Trump’s server in 2024.
Trump has been telling MAGAs that the security footage at Mar-a-Lago holds all the evidence that he has nothing to hide.
While everybody waited to hear about the third indictment and was processing Jack Smith adding more charges to an existing indictment, barricades were erected outside the Fulton County courthouse in what appears to be preparation for the fourth indictment.
