Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread

DeSantis denied he was running for the Presidency. He got $20 million from Republican Governor Association and the chairman of that group was Nebraska Governor Ricketts.

DeSantis was Sasse's "sherpa" through the hiring process.

DeSantis gets FLA to change rules allowing a sitting governor to run for the Presidency. His $20 million then went into his PAC for his run at POTUS.

Ricketts appoints himself Sasse's replacement.

Quid fucking quo pro! Republican two step right in your face.

There's a lot of conjecture there but not a lot of proof. If we use the same standard that MAQA yahoos use to judge claims against trump then this is FAKE NEWS. Sorry but we need video/irrefutable proof.

Sure. Sasse gets the UF Presidency, Ricketts gets Sasse's Senate seat (say that 3x fast )and DeSantis gets $20 million. Man were those three super lucky!

Are you the same poster who tried to argue that there was no "proof" that Republicans were trying to get Cornel West on the ballot? The common sense you're applying to Sasse/Rickets/deconkis applies just as well to the fake Cornel West electors.

I said the article admitted they had no evidence of what they were claiming. The DeSantis,Sasse,Ricketts trifecta isn't in doubt as to who and what. Not the same.

You sure seem eager to support corruption. Oh, I somehow forgot. You don't care because it doesn't include Trump. TDS Hypocrite.

GOP's Comer weaponizes Congress to launch lawfare investigation into Walz's 'engagement' with China

Comer, in his announcement on Friday, cited recent articles from the New York Post and Newsweek examining ties between Walz and China -- including comments he made about visiting the nation 30 times, some of which were teaching trips, and a 2016 interview where he said he didn't "fall into the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship."

Maybe he should look into trump Tower moscow next.

Wrong. Please give me Trump's most recent quid quo pro.

Three Approaches to Avoiding Blame
Avoiding blame or responsibility for unwanted outcomes often involves one or more of these processes.

1 Denial. This is the most basic form of avoidance of responsibility and involves lying about having done something or having not done something.
2 Denial of Impact. This involves acknowledging an action or decision but denying its impact on the unwanted outcome.
Blame-shifting. This involves blaming someone else for the unwanted outcome that they caused or contributed to.
3 Blame-shifting. This involves blaming someone else for the unwanted outcome that they caused or contributed to.

I'm talking about corruption not just quid pro quo. You're free to limit your posts but I'm not going to.

You defend, deflect, overlook, ignore, etc. trump's corruption and misdeeds but want me to take you seriously when you point out others' corruption and misdeeds? Fvck that. If you want me to take you seriously then steop being a partisan hack.

I've come up with plenty of trump examples but you sweep them under the rug because there isn't irrefutable/video proof. Then you apply a much looser standard for determining if people who aren't absolutely loyal to trump are guilty of corruption/misdeeds. The double standard is part of your MO.

Here's a few for trump:
- Accused of sexual assault/rape by 26+ women.
- Paying off a porn star and a Playboy model to hide adulterous affairs from his wife.
- Inciting a seditious mob on January 6 that stormed our Capitol and attempted to stop the Constitutional transfer of power.
- Arranging for fraudulent slates of electors.
- Attempting to bully officials in states that he lost, trying to get them to "find" votes or not certify results.
- Obstructing the return of classified documents.

Get help, Sasse lover.

Ummm…none of those are refutable outside the cult. There are a ton of conservatives, former Republicans, etc. with the rationality to accept it.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying he can't even tell a Trump tale unless he describes every action like Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow...and it always comes back to Trump. StOnge level persistence.

Trump outwork Satan in effort in his mind.

We don't have a Misc post in the Lounge, so I post them here.

In other news, SeattleGriz saw his first house fly of the summer today, which seems really odd. Our house is wide open in summer.

You keep trying to sweep trump's share of responsibility for the Afghan pullout disaster under the rug. Maybe you'll come up with something that actually makes sense.

You said I keep trying to sweep Trump's blah, blah, blah and it's the first I've even heard about.

See?!?! TDS SO bad you forgot what you were talking about and then, as you awake out of you stupor, you try to impugn me. Despicable. Probably busy formulating your next cockamamie "get Trump" fiasco.

When trump is mocked or criticized you attempt to sweep it under the rug (deny, deny the impact, blame shift, shoot the messenger, claim tDS, distract, etc.).

I don't need a "get trump" invention, he gives rational people plenty of opportunities to see the person he really is. I'm just trying to point out the obvious to cult members hoping they'll eventually see the truth as well.
