AOC is "just a bartender" but I bet this lady is the Second Coming of Mary for RepublicansThey elected this skank named bobert to the House that dropped out of high school due to a pregnancy and worked at Burger King before serving beer in some dive bar her and her husband run.
But hey she's carrying a gun. It doesn't matter if a slug is more intelligent. It's really disheartening to see how the Republican party has embraced ignorance as if being stupid is patriotic or something. I remember a time when the Republican party embraced intelligence. But that was years ago and William F Buckley Jr has long since passed away. He was a jerk but at least he was intelligent. Today's Republican party is a cesspool of the most ignorant in America.

Campaign disclosures show Senate Dems in ExxonMobil exposé got almost $333,000 - Raw Story - Celebrating 17 Years of Independent Journalism
Campaign disclosures show Senate Dems in ExxonMobil exposé got almost $333,000
A pair of reports published Tuesday in the wake of a damning exposé featuring secretly recorded ExxonMobil lobbyists further illuminated the fossil fuel giant's efforts to influence powerful centrists in Congress and beyond.
The New Republic's Kate Aronoff revealed that "centrist think tanks are raking in Exxon cash," citing a company report, while HuffPost's Alexander Kaufman reviewed an analysis by the advocacy group Oil Change U.S. of campaign contributions to six Democratic U.S. senators named in Unearthed's June exposé.
The videos from Unearthed, Greenpeace U.K.'s investigative journalism arm, feature one current and one former ExxonMobil employee, Keith McCoy and Dan Easley, who thought they were discussing the company's lobbying efforts with a recruitment consultant.
While ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Darren Woods claimed that McCoy and Easley made "disturbing and inaccurate comments about our positions on a variety of issues, including climate change policy, and our interaction with elected officials," the reporting has increased scrutiny of the company's lobbying and finances over the past two weeks.
The Oil Change U.S. analysis focuses on campaign disclosures of six Democratic lawmakers McCoy mentioned: Sens. Chris Coons (Del.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), and Jon Tester (Mont.).
Asked on a May video call which lawmakers ExxonMobil targets, McCoy first named Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. He continued:
Collin Rees, the senior campaigner at Oil Change U.S. who conducted the new analysis, found that over the past decade, the six Democrats collectively received nearly $333,000 from lobbyists, political action committees (PACs), and lobbying firms affiliated with ExxonMobil.
"This is a story about how lobbyists curry favor, and specifically about how Exxon's current lobbyists have spent decades currying the favor of these six Democrats to position themselves to do things like safeguard fossil fuel subsidies and pare down infrastructure packages," Rees told Kaufman. "Exxon has hired these firms and lobbyists because they've contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to these Democrats, both before and after they were hired by Exxon."
Tester—whose office didn't comment on the story—led the group with $99,783, followed by Sinema ($70,800), Coons ($68,650), Manchin ($64,864), Hassan ($26,699), and Kelly ($1,500).
Kelly, a newcomer to the Senate, doesn't accept corporate PAC money—which his spokesperson highlighted Tuesday, telling HuffPost that he "has not met with the individual in the original Exxon video, and hasn't spoken with anyone from this company in the Senate."
Hassan's spokesperson said "the video only says that Sen. Hassan is up for reelection... it isn't for her support of their policies but simply because she is up for reelection," while spokespeople for Sinema and Coons told Kaufman that the analysis' totals are "inaccurate" and "incredibly misleading."
"To the Exxon 11—here's your chance to show that you stand with the people who elected you, not Big Oil."
—Janet Redman, Greenpeace USA
An ExxonMobil spokesperson said the company "complies with all federal and state regulations and lobbying laws," and has "a responsibility to our customers, employees, communities, and shareholders to represent their interests in public policy discussions that impact our business."

The other Republicans McCoy named were Sens. John Barrasso (Wyo.), John Cornyn (Texas), Steve Daines (Mont.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). He noted that it is easier to have conversations with senators who are up for reelection in 2022—such as Rubio, Kelly, and Hassan—"because they're a captive audience, they know they need you and I need them."

Kush better include some quality time with the FBI and grand juries in his plans too, rumor has it he's squealing his head off to the feds and with Abby Lowe as his lawyer, I have no doubt he is. I think Kush will end up living in Israel to avoid future complications.

Jared Kushner plans to move away from politics and start an investment company, report says
Sources close to the matter told the news outlet that Kushner is finalizing the launch of Affinity Partners, an investment company that will be headquartered in Miami. The firm is still in its planning stages and is expected to launch in the coming months, according to the sources.
Kushner is also aiming to open an office in Israel, which would establish regional investments between the country and India, North African and Gulf nations, sources told Reuters.
Since leaving the White House in January, Kushner has been out of the public spotlight and moved to Florida with his wife, Ivanka Trump, and their two children.
He has spent the past six months writing a book about his time working for Trump, according to Reuters. Kushner secured the book deal with Broadside Books, a conservative imprint of HarperCollins. Trump was reportedly envious of the seven-figure advance that Kushner received for the memoir, according to a CNN report in June.
The New York Times reported last month that Kushner has told some of Trump's closest advisors that he wants to have a "simpler relationship" with his former boss and father-in-law. As Trump remains in the political sphere, hosting rallies and endorsing GOP candidates for the 2022 midterms, Kushner has largely been absent from his circle.

I'll say this for Black Rifle Coffee... there was a photo for Kyle whateverthefuckhis name is - the Kenosha murderer - wearing a Black Rifle shirt. Rednecks suggested that Black Rifle hire him as a spokesperson. Black Rifle said "no fucking way!" and now they are the subject of a boycott from the Trumpers. Black Rifle is all upset about it. But when you build your business on crazy, violent rednecks, its too late to complain about their actions.
