"'I think he’s trying to make a point. I’m not worried about it at all,' Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. told reporters at the U.S. Capitol. He said starting a war would be the 'last thing' Russia would do if Trump were president."

Of course. Lindsey Graham is there excusing the comments.

"In 2018, the Northern Hemisphere experienced its first fire tornado in Redding, California. The Carr fire tornado, an EF3 firestorm with 165-mile-per-hour winds and peak temperatures of 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit, killed five people, tossed a Ford F-150 through the air, and tore hundred-foot-tall transmission towers off their concrete moorings."

Smoke is bad. Fire tornadoes? Terrifying.

"Happy birthday, Mommy." - My oldest.

"Happy fucker day, Mommy." - My youngest.

This may be the longest day ever. But I have coffee.

Enjoy your day, people! Don't be fuckers!

Wearing non-sweats, a blouse, and make-up - and all in public, no less - I just looked down to make sure my shoes match.

They do.

There have been times that they haven't. When you own five pairs of black flats it happens.

"Now, Politico reported Thursday, citing anonymous sources, McCarthy ally Brian Walsh is working to recruit primary challengers to those eight turncoats. The group is known on Capitol Hill as the “Crazy Eight” or “Gaetz Eight” (because the “hateful eight” was already taken)."

This is going to burn more GOP funds.

What. A. Shame.

Musk thinks he can punish Trump for not coming back to Twitter by elevating DeSantis.

He thinks as that as King of Twitter, he can pull a Henry VIII and replace Trump with DeSantis.

Musk is such a fool. He may be the King of Twitter, but Trump rules the GOP.

Feud: Capote vs. The Swans

Only about 10 minutes in when I realized they weren't exactly going to follow Leamer's book. However, I adjusted quickly.

Naomi Watts had only one fault. She was perfect. Otherwise, she was perfect.

And Tom Hollander is amazing as Capote. He seems a bit over the top, but that was Capote.

According to Nate Silver, the Biden WH may have moved up the Senate to June so if Biden screws up, he can step down and pull the Ezra Klein emergency plan of nominating someone else.

Wow.

Trafalgar's last poll was almost spot on.

Trump: 59%
Haley: 38%

So far, with 92% of the vote in, Trump is at 59.9% and Haley has 39.4%.

Her numbers may be slightly higher because of Democrats showing up to vote in the open primary. I heard that it could be 4%.

Trafalgar. Didn't see that coming.

Found a 1998 article by Lawrence Wright that describes the beliefs of fundamentalist Christians that the second coming of Jesus requires the destruction of The Dome of the Rock.

"Most Evangelicals believe that the establishment of the State of Israel and the capture of Jerusalem have cleared the way for these final events. “I am one of those who believe that the next event on God’s calendar is the rapture of the Church—the coming of Christ to take the Church to itself,” the Reverend Jerry Falwell, another notable defender of the nation of Israel, says. “I believe there will be a seven-year tribulation period. It is during that time that the new Temple will be built. And I believe that, at the end of the seven years of tribulation, the battle of Armageddon will transpire and the establishment of the one-thousand-year reign of Christ on Earth will begin.”

CBS story:

The U.S. is on standby for further action by Iran, and from within the region via its proxies, a U.S. official told CBS News.

The U.S. is positioned to be able to shoot down incoming drones from Iran via assets in Iraq and Syria, three U.S. officials told CBS News. The U.S. also has fighter jets that are now on standby.

Money has got to be a factor in these races. And with the RNC in turmoil, I think Democrats will continue to outraise their opponents.

" In at least six of the most competitive Senate races, Democrats out-raised their GOP opponents.

Five Democratic incumbents raised more money than their GOP opponents. Four of those incumbents more than doubled their challenger's fundraising haul.

One of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), was out-raised by his Democratic challenger Colin Allred."

And there you are again, Texas.

Nate Silver is back today arguing for Biden to step down in August.

And a huge shit show over a Simon Rosenberg interview. All kinds of pollsters jumping into the fray.

All of it just seems so disingenuous. The chaos if Biden stepped down in August. And Nate Silver would love it.

He is just so gross.

"She has such a horrible track record of constantly lying and backtracking on her previous positions that maybe she won't actually follow through on her policy proposals," said Andrew Chang, 21. "Either way, no matter which way you look at it, she's a bad candidate."

Nikki Haley is having a hard time connecting with young voters. And the young people in the article? Not Democrats.
