Repeat after me "Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"

"Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"

That's the talking point

Period.

Lindsey opened this door.
ONE of them said it.

No explaining the nuances
No talk about "weeks.
"

That's how they treat us when one fringe person says Defund the Police, they taint all with it.
Except this time he put it in a fucking bill.
So it's GOP official policy

Now they pay the tax for it.
Repeat after me:

"Republicans in Congress want to pass a law banning abortion NATIONWIDE!"
"A Republican Congress will finish what THEIR Supreme Court Started!"


That's the second talking point
Period. Again.

Does TFG look his lawyers, who lied on their paperwork to the DOJ, in the eyes when he says

"You have to take the fall for me on this"

And then what happens after that?

They just go along with that, in lieu of pay?

They drop a dime on him and sell him out?

Where does it go?

DU Braintrust: We, and the media, need a good catchy name for this Trump scandal, like Watergate

Something the media can use.
Teapot Dome and Watergate being the best examples
I mean the GOP weaponized the word Benghazi for gosh sakes
They wont use something like "Traitorgate" or such
But what can we tag this as?
This is where we need to match and better the GOP for Benghazi, and Monicagate etc.
Branding and messaging

Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch - trump has learned from history -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch
The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch,[1][note 1] was a failed coup d'état by Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic. Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazi Party members and four police officers.[2]


J6 was his Beer Hall Putsch.
It was his one and only move he knew.
He learned it from his hero, Adolph.

DeSantis 2024

The startling revelations from Hutchinson's testimony about Trump's erratic behavior and state of mind on Jan. 6 could make it easier for Republican presidential hopefuls to challenge the former President in a primary should he run, the Trump ally added.

"This is basically a campaign commercial for Ron DeSantis 2024," said the Trump ally.



"This is a bombshell": Trump aides left speechless by Hutchinson testimony

Two workers rescued from chocolate-filled tank at Mars Wrigley factory

Two workers rescued from chocolate-filled tank at Mars Wrigley factory

Federal regulators are investigating after two workers became trapped Thursday inside a chocolate-filled tank at a Mars Wrigley factory in Pennsylvania.

Emergency crews were called Thursday afternoon to the factory in Elizabethtown, Pa., about 12 miles from the chocolate capital, Hershey. Brad Wolfe, communications supervisor for Lancaster County 911 Dispatch, told CNN that firefighters had to “cut a hole in the side of the tank to get them out.” The workers, who have not been publicly identified, were taken to a hospital — one by helicopter, Nick Schoenberger, an assistant supervisor for the dispatch center, told CNN.

A spokesperson for Mars Wrigley, which makes M&M’s, Snickers and other candies, confirmed in a statement Friday to The Washington Post that the workers were taken off-site for evaluation. “We’re extremely grateful for the quick work of the first responders,” it read. Leni Fortson, a spokesperson for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is investigating the incident, said the workers were performing maintenance work inside the vat when they got trapped.

It is still unclear how the workers got stuck in the tank and how much chocolate was in it at the time. PennLive reported that dispatchers believed the chocolate was about waist-level. Dispatchers also believed that it was dry chocolate...

This story reminded me of an old Smothers Brothers song about falling into a vat of chocolate

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
