Kagro in the Morning - April 4, 2022

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are together again for a new KITM! That’s the good news today. The rest, well...

At Donald Trump’s latest Big Lie Jamboree, Michigan congresswoman Lisa McClain got to bring her lie game up to the podium, telling the crowd about how Donald caught Bin Ladin. Yes, Lisa McClain is an actual member of Congress, and not a Cecily Strong character, yet. Whatever can be said at a MAGA rally, the crowd will always be at least two lies ahead. The infrastructure to support such delusion is daunting and requires a steady feed of lies. Removing viewers from the Fox News teat for only a month tends to wean them for good. CBS hired Trump flunky Mick Mulvaney for access to just that kind of viewer.

Americans strongly disapprove of how the GQP treated Ketanji Brown Jackson. That doesn’t trouble Republicans, nor will it alter their plans. Just wait until there’s a replacement that alters the balance of the rigging they already put into place and see how they behave. In Ohio, land of bad haircuts and worse ethics, Secretary of State Frank LaRose certainly wouldn’t mind it if the Ohio Supreme Court Chief were to be impeached for following the Ohio Constitution. His legislature flushed their constitution a couple of decades ago.

By the way, the Jan. 6 committee is now wondering if a criminal referral for Donald Trump would really be necessary, considering how they are a little behind in stuff and all. Donald Trump will continue being a criminal, probably for the rest of all of our lifetimes.

Donald Trump has no reason to believe that lies and bluffs wouldn’t carry him forever. Neither did Vladimir Putin, until very recently. At that point, putting up and shutting up became equally bad choices so Vlad picked the one that might potentially kill him last.
