Of the 19 GOP candidates questioned by The Washington Post, a dozen declined to answer or refused to commit. Democrats overwhelmingly said they would respect the results.

They would happily and unquestionably accept any race that they win, but any that they don't win is absolutely rigged and wrought with fraud and inaccuracies

this is of course terible news, but she only has 25% of the vote and while italian governments are now more stable than in the previous century they rarely last 2 years anyway. so who knows what will come of this...

they used to be the party of stupid but have now become the party of treason. of course they accuse their opponents of the same. not sure if this will end well, or how, but i'm sure many strategic competitors of the usa are cheering for them...

Special master to Trump’s lawyers: ‘You can't have your cake and eat it too’

Judge Raymond Dearie pushed Trump’s lawyers repeatedly for refusing to back up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.

Motherfucker begged for a special master, thanks to that incompetent bimbo judge he got the special master, now he won't cooperate with the special master.

This Special Master is not Barr-like?

And, regarding the Desantis/migrants fiasco:

The migrants are suing.

And Desantis is making lame-ass excuses/defenses. I've never seen him look like such a wuss.

So, there's that!

DeSantis sent people who were in TEXAS to Massachusetts. Which state does he run again?

Even though the DOJ was against the whole special master bullcrap, if there had to be one it was OK for it to be Dearie.

From Zakaria's newsletter:

Up Next: Italy

When Italy votes this Sunday, Giorgia Meloni and her far-right Brothers of Italy party are expected to win power. At the World Politics Review, Dave Keating sees Italy’s and Sweden’s elections as following the same trend, in which nationalist parties revamp their images and policies to become palatable.

Like France’s Marine Le Pen, “the Sweden Democrats and Brothers of Italy are no longer calling for their countries to withdraw from the EU,” Keating writes. “Instead, many Euroskeptics want to devolve a range of powers from Brussels back to national capitals, while using the bloc’s strengths to pursue their policy priorities, like an even tougher EU-wide approach to migration.”

Meloni rejects any link to fascism, and in a recent Washington Post interview, she stressed social conservatism—Meloni opposes gay adoption, for instance—and a need for open debate. But a Brothers of Italy win could sweep extremists to power, Jamie Mackay opines in The Guardian.

Then again, some say Italy is merely casting about in a characteristic way. “The fact that Giorgia Meloni is on the brink of power has … more to do with how easily Italian voters are seduced by anti-establishment candidates,” Venezuelan columnist and former trade-and-industry minister Moisés Naím writes for the Spanish daily El País, calling Italy “the European poster child for anti-politics.”

Speaking of fraud (REAL FRAUD this time):

NY Attorney General James files fraud lawsuit against Trump

Finally!!

That one has been ongoing for years. I thought some resignations last year signaled that Trump would get away with something yet again.

They used to call Reagan the Teflon President. Nothing ever seemed to stick. But Teflon Fucking Don beats them all. Two impeachment trials, Mueller fumbling at the 99 yard line, etc etc etc. He'll probably die of natural causes before seeing justice.

You're confusing it with the criminal case conducted by the Manhattan district attorney. This is a civil case conducted by the New York State Attorney General.

Don't worry - it's easy to get shit mixed up when there's also the Georgia investigation, the classified documents investigation, the January 6th investigations (one by the House, one by the DOJ), and about 900 more because there isn't an atom of this piece of shit that's not rotten to the core.

Let's remember how we got here. Letitia James: "I will remind everyone that this investigation only started after Michael Cohen, the former lawyer — his former lawyer — testified before Congress and shed light on this misconduct."

While everyone else was grandstanding, it took AOC less than five minutes to spark what would become a major lawsuit against the orange antichrist. Alexandria fuckin' rocks.

a comment on britain's new fiscal policies, found in the financial times:

If the government were a company they have just fired the board for the third time and decided to elect the Christmas party committee to run the firm.

and in the article that inspired that comment, larry summers is quoted saying:

The UK is behaving a bit like an emerging market turning itself into a submerging market

"submerging" market xD
