Republicans are starting to realize once you let them in...

Election denier Kristina Karamo voted out as Michigan Republican party chair [Will contest!] | Michigan | The Guardian
TheGuardianAt a special meeting called by critics of Karamo, nearly all of the state committee members present voted to remove her from her post, according to Bree Moeggenberg, a state committee member who helped organize the meeting in Commerce Charter Township...

Karamo continued to espouse her outlandish views last year after winning the party seat, echoing the QAnon conspiracy theory that a shadowy cabal of elites are harvesting children’s organs. “There’s a ton of money involved in those freshly harvested organs,” Karamo said on a 2020 podcast hosted by RedPill78, a conspiracy theory website. She has also called Beyoncé and Jay-Z “satanists”, said yoga is a satanic ritual and described Cardi B as a “tool of Lucifer”.

Karamo did not respond to requests for comment. In an email statement on Friday, the party said the Saturday meeting “by a faction of the State Committee” was unauthorized and in violation of party bylaws. Karamo would attend a separately called special meeting on 13 January, according to the statement.

Who is a family guy, who does what he says he’s gonna do, and pretty much upsets his peeps who don’t like him. DeSantis 2024. And if you don’t like what he is doing very nearly in your backyard, HEY, there is always California!

Sometimes I wonder if it's all about the right marketing.

What is the conservative poop fetish but being angry at the freedom to shit wherever you please without the government telling you what to do! If that upsets anti-american freedom haters, then good!

You could absolutely piss off so many people over a completely meaningless thing by calling it "San Fra." For years there's been a debate over "Frisco" but it's certainly used by locals, whereas "San Fran" is used pretty much exclusively by outsiders. Getting a bit creative, I've heard someone say "Cisco" but that's dumb, that's a company, but "San Fra" that's just the right tweak to tweak people being overly serious about slang.

He has no chance ... not even against the Republicans in the race (I found another reason to hate Steve Garvey, aside from just being an LA Dodger).

DeSantis (Hey There's Always) 2028!

Maybe by then his wife (who so badly wants to be FLOTUS) can teach him how to eat pudding ... and maybe smile and laugh like a normal person.

And in the meantime he'll hope insurance rates have gone down in the state of Florida and that people will actually remember who he is once his term ends in 2026.

1. I wasn't there idk. You got a vid? I like videos they change my mind.

2. I don't think that Kamala is smart enough to be as devious as ole Hills. I was referring to Kamalas nonsensical run on sentences and bizarre laugh. So, the Who reference falls short

I would say Hills would say to Kamala, "I hope you dance'--Leeann Womack. (but don't trip over a sandbag and biff it on the stage like your boss)

Screw you, Spotify podcasts, you don't know me at all:

(Blurred out the other podcast, because I don't know anything about it. After a cursory search, it doesn't seem like they're white nationalist trash, but I still wasn't interested.)

I think they mean Russian Asset Tucker Carlson, with Tucker being spotted in Russia there's rumors he's there to interview Putin. This is nothing new but never so blatant as seeking out the graces of Putin in Moscow.

Someone sat on this since 2020 (probably didn't bother with it before because Lt Gov doesn't matter?).

This guy stands out among Republicans for shittiness, which is quite the achievement.

ETA: Apparently, that video cuts off some relevant context. What he says is still stupid and a bit revealing in a way. His point was something like, that back then they were fighting for real justice and Republicans were leading the charge. But saying you'd like America to go back to when women didn't have rights so you could heroically fight for their rights is not really great either. A bit like a firefighter who's an arsonist so that he can heroically fight the fire.

I suppose his other point is that modern civil rights movements are all bullshit compared to women's suffrage and anti-lynching, but I'm going to take it as the more accurate "but Republicans don't fight for stuff like that anymore".

Nonetheless, I stand by my evaluation of him, which is based also on his anti-abortion nuttery, Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism, rampant anti-LGBT bigotry, anti-black racism* and insane conspiracy theorizing.

*He brings to mind a certain self-loathing character from the Boondocks, tbh
