House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) was exposed Thursday for sending thousands of emails using two addresses listed to fake names, according a report.

The information came from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made by the Daily Beast's senior political reporter Roger Sollenberger.

The bill was unanimously approved.  This guy was a serious candidate for the QOP nomination.

Not just a serious candidate, but the main guy that they wanted to go into office.  They'll run and heavily back DeDufus again in 4 years. 

 

DeSantis is the only serious presidential candidate that I've ever viewed as potentially dangerous.  If he ever had both houses controlled by his party, he wouldn't hesitate to rapidly reshape the country into a radical conservative's wildest dream.

 

Most here are concerned with the orange reality show host who may or may not have a tough enough time wiping his own ass.  I'm waaay more concerned about DeDufus and to a lesser extent Rand Paul.  Paul would worry me more, but he isn't well liked by his party so he may not ever be a serious contender.

Get ready for this thread to get busy.  The Supreme Court is doing their usual June end of session decision dump.  That means the Trump immunity decision is incoming at any time.  My guess is that it gets dumped on Friday (tomorrow), like most politically controversial news does.


They’ve extended it to Monday.

Hey Yanks....remember the "Sharia Law" that you were so worried about taking hold in America? Well, it's here:

Oklahoma’s top education official ordered public schools Thursday to incorporate the Bible into lessons for grades 5 through 12, the latest effort by conservatives to incorporate religion into classrooms.

The directive sent Thursday to superintendents across the state by Republican State Superintendent Ryan Walters says adherence to the mandate is compulsory and “immediate and strict compliance is expected.”

“The Bible is an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone,” Walters said in a statement. “Without basic knowledge of it, Oklahoma students are unable to properly contextualize the foundation of our nation which is why Oklahoma educational standards provide for its instruction.”

The directive is the latest effort by conservative-led states to target public schools: Louisiana required them to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms, while others are under pressure to teach the Bible and ban books and lessons about race, sexual orientation and gender identity. Earlier this week the Oklahoma Supreme Court blocked an attempt by the state to have the first publicly funded religious charter school in the country.

A former public school teacher who was elected to his post in 2022, Walters ran on a platform of fighting “woke ideology,” banning books from school libraries and getting rid of “radical leftists” who he claims are indoctrinating children in classrooms.

House GOPer Takes Biden Debate Conspiracy to Next Level With New Bill

Republicans are still working to buffer the impact of President Joe Biden’s performance in Thursday’s debate, expanding the conspiracy that the executive leader is relying on “mind-altering” drugs in case he hits hard against Donald Trump.

 

On Wednesday, Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles took the inane idea a step further, touting his recently introduced bill dubbed “No Juicing Joe Act,” which his office said would require the White House to inform Congress any time Biden takes a drug “that could alter his alertness, judgment or mood.”

 

“‘No Juicing Joe’ would require him to divulge, to report to the American people, every time he takes a mind-altering stimulant like we know he’s gonna have to do before this debate,” Ogles told Newsmax’s Joe Pinion Wednesday. “They’re gonna have him juiced up and jacked up on some sort of cocktail so he can be lucid and take on or at least try to debate Donald Trump.”

Republicans have aggressively pushed the idea in recent weeks, attempting to frame Biden as the weaker, more feeble-minded option of the two. But that goes against myriad reports of Trump’s cognitive decline, dozens of examples of the former president nonsensically rambling at rallies, and a Pentagon report that Trump’s White House medical unit operated like a pill mill, indiscriminately doling out large prescriptions of modafinil, Adderall, fentanyl, morphine, and ketamine to staffers, with insiders claiming it was “awash in speed.”

 

Presidential prescriptions aren’t exactly unusual: John F. Kennedy, Jr. used his White House doctors to fight off back pain, and Richard Nixon relied on his doctors to treat bad moods. But no previous administrations have matched the level of debauchery of Trump’s, when in-office pharmacists unquestioningly handed out highly addictive substances to staffers who needed pick-me-ups or energy boosts—no doctor’s exam, referral, or prescription required.

 

In another attempt to superficially broaden the conspiracy’s credibility, Trump pressed the teetotaler president to take a drug test prior to the debate. But it wasn’t the first time that Trump has baselessly accused his opponents of drugging up before their debates. In 2016, Trump levied similar accusations against Hillary Clinton, and in 2020 he called on Biden to take a drug test after he told a North Carolina rally crowd that Biden gets a “big fat shot in the ass,” a claim that he revived this week.

We have to be approaching max stupidity. The idiocy is literally going parabolic.

The only one of those two who'll be taking a big fat shot in the ass is Trump from his cellmate.

Huh...  That's surprising.

 

They would be silly to dump the Trump decision on Monday.  That would give one side or the other of the media 5 straight days to keep the cycle going.  Whereas releasing it tomorrow night, would give the news a 2 day buffer.

Yeah...  Now let's do the same with Congress.  Guarantee you'd find a surprisingly high number of them who are coked up and popping Adderall like it's candy.

Reminds me of this famous 30 year old interview with Noel Gallagher of Oasis accusing members of the British Parliament of being bigger heroin and cocaine addicts then rock stars. Mind you Noel is completely off his tits in this interview.

the debate should be interesting.
Biden needs a big win tonight.

 

Honestly, it was borderline stupid of Trump to agree to all of the restrictions that he did.  Especially the mic muting. 

 

I won't be surprised one bit if Biden takes his lunch money, bends him over, and spanks him.

Brought on those restrictions himself with his inability to act like an adult.

Agreed, but I think he's counting on Biden to screw up but Biden has been doing this for decades. 

 

Trump's ahead in both national and swing state polls and has mostly been for a while.  He's risking much more than he can be rewarded.
