It turns out, it was the GOP all along--or anyway, there was an election-denier who weirdly enough submitted multiple ineligible GOP ballots.
Strangely Blogged
This blog kills fascists. Eventually. It's a process I'm working on. Be patient with me.

I wonder why Speaker Johnson is so passionately weighing in on the Ronna firing… oh… https://t.co/Ek1OdMBDyN pic.twitter.com/uh7JEewLpr

This is what I was talking about: the GOP would take the opportunity to read McDaniels' firing as being about cancelling Republicans when it is really about not giving a platform to election deniers and insurrectionists. Maybe she was "normie" by the standards of today's GOP, where asking if the 2020 vote was legitimate is now a qualifying question. But what if we just altogether derided the absolutely batshit claims that got us here--the Venezuelan voting machines, the German servers, the Italian satellites, the Chinese thermostats, that absolutely shit-pilled people seem to have believed in and are now losing their livelihood for--
I'm talking about Jeff Clarke, for whom this shit was that real.
Or maybe for Mike Lindell.
Ginni Thomas doesn't have a "job" per se, but she believed in the German severs.
There is a lot of rubbish otherwise sane people seem to have believed or pretended to. All of it pretty loosie-goosey bullshit.
These ideas are toxic waste, and were deployed by the Trump administration as if they were actually real, when they look like, in the clear light of day, nonsense. Why in the world would any reputable news outlet support anyone who lent support to so much bullshit?
UPDATE: The RNC is considering limiting NBC's access because of the McDaniel firing. But, but--they fired her first? LOL.

Joe Lieberman RIP
I enthusiastically voted for Gore/Lieberman, although they did not, per history and SCOTUS, win. I did not always agree with Senator Lieberman, and truly did want the US Senate to skew more liberal. I never understood why someone whose VP chances were screwed up in part by Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan, would associate himself with No labels.Former US senator and Democratic Party vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman died at age 82 in New York City after suffering complications from a fall, his family said https://t.co/KNXD9UnQf7

TWGB: Trump The Bible Salesman
Did She "Take One for the Team"?
I tried to avoid commenting on the NBC/Ronna McDaniel thing because the idea of a television network stunt casting a political commentator so obviously from "the conservative" side felt like a weird gimmick to me. I don't watch opinion-driven news that much for my own health and mental well-being. When I watch people obviously dissemble, I want to throw things at the tv set. If I were a news host who had someone on my set just being an insultingly gross liar, I would want to throw them off my tv set.BREAKING: Ronna McDaniel is out at NBC News.

Cesar Conde, Chairman of the NBCUniversal News Group, emailed the staff writing “After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.” pic.twitter.com/ymy9lDprUL

TWGB: Not Like King David, Either
This morning, while working out his deep feelings over how impecunious he was about to be, Trump shared with us a Psalm that, like 2 Corinthians, he had no context for, and as a matter of course, was funny to people who do know scripture. Trump didn't compare himself to Jesus, he was biting off old busy-shanks David. He was saying, though he didn't even know, the beginning of a harsh imprecatory prayer against one's accusers, that basically says, when God is on your side, they just let you do it, and your accusers will get fucked up in due time.
You know why I know this one? Because it was deployed on President Obama not as the King, but as the evil overseer. And I knew when I heard it then, it was intended as a word of wrath being dripped in the ear of those listening like poison, asking them to act. And Trump is giving himself to "prayer" (curses) against his foes. Because he wants others to carry out his wrath. Not God. Just...someone.
Act against Judge Engoron. Act against the prosecutors. Act as if God whispered it in your ear.
He's as subtle as a sock in the face.

A Golf Clap for Mr. Trump
You know, the sort of thing a tyrant can't really cope with is generally the small stuff grown people usually don't sweat, like being the butt of a joke or losing at something every now and again. In order to cope with being Donald Trump, he has to cheat at golf and win awards for matches held at his own clubs. Joe Biden gets that.Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment. pic.twitter.com/nyDivqPwoI
