Republican in Vermont is running for six positions in order to keep the spots for Rs and prevent a write-in from winning. Senate, House, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Auditor, and Treasurer.

So he's going to win all the spots? I'm confused

ahhhh...I see

So obviously Pizzagate and QAnon are insane and untethered to reality. But when you see things like the grand jury report about the rampant sexual abuse of children in the catholic church and systematic cover up across almost an entire religion you can almost see why some nutters will take that a step further.

There was some legitimate reporting on Q yesterday that exposes the three personalities, not outted people, that banded together to push its brand of crazy to the front. The underlying goal seems to be Alex Jones-esque income generation, nothing more. I am shocked.

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and the current public face of President Donald Trump's legal team, sat down for an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo on Tuesday night. It was contentious -- if generally friendly -- and ended with this exchange:

CUOMO: I think it's a little early on that. And if fact [checking] is anything, we've never had anybody with the level of mendacity that he has. Not even close.
GIULIANI: It's in the eye of the beholder.
CUOMO: No, facts are not in the eye of the beholder.
GIULIANI: Yes it is -- yes they are. Nowadays they are.

The specific context of the exchange was Giuliani making the case that Trump has more accomplishments in 18 months than his predecessors had in eight years. (Giuliani also said this of Trump just before the above exchange: "Maybe nobody has been as honest as him." Riiiiiight.)

The bit I bolded tells you all you need to know about the collection of conmen/women and scumbags currently populating this Administration. Could it just be that Trump, Giuliani, Sanders, Conway, Spicer, etc. do not know what the word "fact" means? It would have been solid gold is Cuomo followed up with, "do you actually know what "fact" means?".

For those who were fretting the Generic Poll, Quinnipiac has the Dems up +9 in the most recent one.

do we think this guy is stumping for Stacey Abrams? :

A Gwinnett judge has dismissed the appeal filed by Commissioner Tommy Hunter as part of his lawsuit against the county ethics board that, more than a year ago, recommended he be punished for Facebook comments that included calling Congressman John Lewis a “racist pig.”

The appeal was dismissed in part because of a paperwork snafu, and Hunter’s attorney said it would be filed again — a move that would likely help the case find its way to the Georgia Supreme Court.

“We will refile the appeal,” Hunter’s attorney, Dwight Thomas, said Monday. “Too many questionable things occurred.”

this is fine:

WASHINGTON — FBI agents in California and Washington, D.C., have investigated a series of cyberattacks over the past year that targeted a Democratic opponent of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA). Rohrabacher is a 15-term incumbent who is widely seen as the most pro-Russia and pro-Putin member of Congress and is a staunch supporter of President Trump.

The hacking attempts and the FBI’s involvement are described in dozens of emails and forensic records obtained by Rolling Stone.

The target of these attacks, Dr. Hans Keirstead, a stem-cell scientist and the CEO of a biomedical research company, finished third in California’s nonpartisan “top-two” primary on June 5th, falling 125 votes short of advancing to the general election in one of the narrowest margins of any congressional primary this year. He has since endorsed Harley Rouda, the Democrat who finished in second place and will face Rohrabacher in the November election.

Kyle Quinn-Quesada, who was Keirstead’s campaign manager, tells Rolling Stone that the campaign is now going public about the attacks for the sake of voter awareness. “It is clear from speaking with campaign professionals around the country that the sustained attacks the Keirstead for Congress campaign faced were not unique but have become the new normal for political campaigns in 2018,” Quinn-Quesada says. He added that the Keirstead campaign did not believe the cyberattacks had an effect on the primary election results.

The hacks on Keirstead began in August 2017 with a spear-phishing attempt — a fake email intended to deceive the recipient into typing in his or her password or other confidential information — sent to Keirstead’s work email address. The phishing attempt was successful — Keirstead thought it was a legitimate Microsoft Office message and entered his password before quickly realizing the message was fake and having his company take measures to secure their email system. (Keirstead had used his work account for campaign purposes, emails show.) This was similar to the phishing attack on Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that later resulted in the release of thousands of Podesta’s personal emails.
