Those two are far worse, in my opinion. Not a high bar though.

Ya know...in a world with a Cheetos President, a land war in Europe, instability in the middle east, high oil prices and rampant inflation, a veritable Bond Villain is the richest guy on Earth...

The Onion buying InfoWars? Its a little win, but its still a win. I'll take it.

Plus...solid investment. They can just re-release Jones' back-catalogue but now its properly labeled as 'satire.' No muss, no fuss.

They weren't allowed to release it so close to the election as it could have swayed the election results.

I mean, maybe? Republicans don't generally seem to care about criminality or misconduct otherwise, so I doubt the 'highly critical' contents would have changed the outcome. But then again, it does seem a bit of a ridiculous policy if the report contained reasons -- as it surely does -- that someone might not want to vote for Gaetz.

The report is 99.9% likely to get leaked so if this is some kind of plot to bury it it is unlikely to actually work.

Trump is about to announce an anti-vax conspiracy theorist (RFK Jr.) as Health and Human Services Secretary:

This seems like parody.

It's like he's just picking the worst possible candidates for each position as a joke. Watch the world burn before he dies.

I wonder how long until leaded Gasoline is back on the table? That is undoubtedly the largest factor in both consistent elderly GOP base voting AND the private prison population growth. Make america great again!

The Democrats face demographic headwinds as blue states shed population and electoral college votes. The flight of voters from California, Illinois, and New York to red states like Texas, Idaho, and Florida is going to redraw the electoral map.

The national party doesn’t control housing policy in Democratic cities, but their failure to build housing will hurt the party going forward.

Quote:

As California goes, so goes the nation, but what happens when a lot of Californians move to Texas? After the 2030 census, the home of Hollywood and Silicon Valley will likely be forced to reckon with its stagnating population and receding influence. When congressional seats are reallocated to adjust for population changes, California is almost certain to be the biggest loser—and to be seen as the embodiment of the Democratic Party’s failures in state and local governance.

The liberal Brennan Center is projecting a loss of four seats, and the conservative American Redistricting Project, a loss of five. Either scenario could affect future presidential races, because a state’s Electoral College votes are determined by how many senators and representatives it has. In 2016, after her loss to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton argued that she’d “won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward”—an outlook that she contrasted with Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. But now Democrats’ self-conception as a party that represents the future is running headlong into the reality that the fastest-growing states are Republican-led.

According to the American Redistricting Project, New York will lose three seats and Illinois will lose two, while Republican-dominated Texas and Florida will gain four additional representatives each if current trends continue. Other growing states that Trump carried in this month’s election could potentially receive an additional representative. By either projection, if the 2032 Democratic nominee carries the same states that Kamala Harris won this year, the party would receive 12 fewer electoral votes…

What particular policy do you think RFK will implement to improve regulation in this space?
