Names That Should Live in Infamy

The Republicans who joined Democrats in voting for the bill were Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Todd Young of Indiana, and Roy Blunt of Missouri. [More]

Of these, two [three] are retiring and the only one who needs to run for reelection now is Murkowski, who also voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and to confirm Biden pick Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

We’ve talked about her before — plenty. I believe she will make a perfect object lesson to defeat, provided a sufficient number of gun owners want to actually do something about it instead of standing there and bleeding.

Meanwhile, well-heeled Stupid Party Vichycon luminaries think it’s a smart idea to rub the betrayal in our faces before the presumed “red wave.”

Egging It On

The Left Goes to War with Itself [More]

Good. The impulse-controlled never were any good at not going too far.

Now escalate for all to see.

Desperate times call for vicious measures.

And So It Begins

Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is quietly shifting his campaign messaging away from former President Trump as he transitions into what’s likely to be one of the most hotly contested Senate elections of the midterms. [More]

I’m shocked…shocked!

Wait ’til ol’ Mehmet says he thinks the 2020 election was valid.

The Donald is so good at firing ’em because he’s so lousy at picking ’em in the first damn place.

More Like ‘Common Grave’

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that Texas needs to find “common ground” on gun control by respecting the Second Amendment while also requiring safety measures on firearms. [More]

The ground he wants us put in if he ever makes good on his “Hell yes” threat?

The only ones dumb enough to believe him are these idiots.

‘Republicans,’ Pay Heed

John Cornyn, top Republican negotiator on gun package, booed at Texas GOP convention [More]

As I said:

Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.  Way to take the fire out of bellies.

You hearing this Mitch? Lindsey?

You geniuses really want to break up the wave before it happens?

And tangentially-related:

Dan Crenshaw & Staff Assaulted by Right Wingers Shouting ‘Eyepatch McCain’ and Saying He Should be ‘Hung for Treason’ [More]

Well, he started it.

Too Little Too Late

Bipartisan Negotiation On Gun Control Bill Stalled [More]

Let’s hope “Are you nuts?” is making an impact.

Yeah, but you know what, guys? Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.

Way to take the fire out of bellies.

UPDATE

‘I’m through talking’: top Republican negotiator walks out of Senate gun talks – John Cornyn says he is heading back to Texas, dimming hope of vote on bipartisan gun safety bill before July recess [More]

Yep. Somebody’s been hearing from p!$$ed off constituents and now wants to appear forceful and principled…

Sounds Like My Kind of ‘Cult Leader’

“Doug Mastriano doubles down on comparing U.S. gun control to Nazi Germany” … [More]

And your point is?

The Lincoln Project    calling him a traitor is rich.

In obliviousness or desperation, Politico marvels at his “come-from-nowhere popularity.”

We know where it comes from. It’s a natural defensive reaction among those being “canceled” to the true cult’s in-your-face subversive excesses.

Seeing who is against him just about has me sold. At the very least I want to find out more.

Teaching Moderate Republicans to Fight

New Poll: Dem John Fetterman leads Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania Senate race despite poor Biden approval [More]

He needs to realize that Pennsylvania urban Democrats don’t understand the issues he wants to talk about. They’re driven by their racism and his messaging needs to focus on that:

FETTERMAN PULLED A GUN ON AN UNARMED BLACK MAN!

That’s it.

He ought to have cars with loudspeakers blasting that message through the hood, passing out free t-shirts with that printed on them.
