[Trump-Endorsed Minnesota Gov. Candidate Mike Lindell Isn't Even Registered to Vote in the State]

As the original article from The Minnesota Star Tribune is "paywalled," I have, instead, posted an accessible review.

Running for election to high office in places where the candidate does not have their primary residence has become common in the GOP. Still, this clown takes it to the next level:

Trump-Endorsed Minnesota Gov. Candidate Mike Lindell Isn't Even Registered to Vote in the State

As per this article:

""Lindell does not need to be registered to vote in Minnesota to run for office here," the Star Tribune's report noted. "But his lack of knowledge about his voter registration status is notable for a candidate who has called for strict scrutiny of voter rolls and made election integrity the central pillar of his campaign and political life.""

This useful idiot to the GOP should have been bankrupted years ago. So, I can't help but wonder which greedy oligarch(s) is/are still funding him.

[This AI tool doesn't just speak languages—it invents them]

This AI tool doesn't just speak languages—it invents them

As per this article:

"Artificial intelligence isn't just capable of translating between existing languages—it can also create entirely new ones.

That's according to a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the Association for Computational Linguistics on ConlangCrafter, a tool the authors developed that leverages large language models (LLMs) to create novel languages with their own grammar rules and vocabulary.

"The idea of ConlangCrafter is: 'How can we make new languages that have different linguistic features than what we normally see in natural languages?'" explained Morris Alper, the paper's first author and an incoming assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences."

Okay ... swell. So, developers, what else ya got?

'Tis the 50th day of the Season of Confusion in the YOLD 3192, and once again time to celebrate Confuflux, the Season's Holyday.

Yeah, that ol' Hodge/Podge, etc. thing is happening once again.

Hail Eris!

 All Hail Discordia!

[Lindsey Graham is gone, Israel may never find another friend like him - comment]

The POSOTUS may have lost an easily replaceable fluffer, and the Republicult™ may have lost an easily replaceable cheerleader, but:

Lindsey Graham is gone, Israel may never find another friend like him - comment

"Lindsey Graham's death leaves Israel without one of its fiercest advocates and raises urgent questions about the future of US support."

*shrug*

Is that like the conservative equivalent of gender studies? 

Well ... I hadn't given it any thought until you brought it up. But, taking into account how opposed the typical conservative is to critical thinking, I'd have to say, yes. Yes, it is. Final answer.

[Only One Student Has Enrolled in New WVU Program Designed to Counter 'Woke Ideology']

It looks like what we have here is a failure to indoctrinate:

Only One Student Has Enrolled in New WVU Program Designed to Counter 'Woke Ideology'

And, it's in West Virginia no less. What's a cult to do?

[Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September]

It looks like the POSOTUS is giving a gift to the Democratic Party:

Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September

As per this article:

"President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of November's midterm elections, an unusual event aimed at boosting turnout in races that will decide whether the party maintains control of Congress."

And, further along in this same article:

"Democrats have said the GOP convention will be a chance for them to tie Republican House and Senate candidates to Trump, whose approval rating is underwater."

And so, it appears that the Democrats know they're being given a gift. Now, we'll see if they actually know how to utilize this gift.

[Karl Rove Predicts Iran Will Try to Hurt Trump in Midterms]

In simple terms, the Iranian theocracy has won this little war. And, they know they are now stronger than they've ever been. And so, it's now just a matter of them extracting the reparations they want from us, and they also know time is on their side.

The POSOTUS believed he had the military capability to force a regime change in Iran simply by ordering a short bombing campaign. But, the result of his failed bombing campaign is that the Iranian theocracy now has the capability to severely weaken the Turd Reich. And, although the Iranian theocracy can not actually destroy the Turd Reich outright, they can easily weaken it by occasionally restricting the flow of oil through the Straits of Hormuz.

Therefore, I see no reason for the Iranian theocracy to come to any kind of a final agreement with the Turd Reich prior to the U.S. Midterm elections.

The original interview this article is based upon is behind a WSJ paywall. But, this is a short summary:   

Karl Rove Predicts Iran Will Try to Hurt Trump in Midterms

As per this article:

"Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove predicted the Iranians would try to hurt President Donald Trump in this fall's midterm elections by creating problems during a Fox News hit over the weekend.

Rove made the point shortly after anchor Paul Gigot observed that Trump "has some persuading to do to convince the public" that the United States' war with Iran has been successful."

And, as per further along in this article:

""Well, even if it happens, I'm not convinced that it's going to be that dispositive, that that's going to determine the outcome, the election, [it] will help, obviously. But look, we're not the only ones who know this. We're not the only ones paying attention to oil prices," replied Rove. "Remember, all of these negotiations with Iran need to be completed by the middle of August. The Iranians are not dumb. They know that the fall campaign starts in earnest on Labor Day. I would not be surprised to see them attempt to have an influence on the outcome by creating problems in mid-August, and causing oil prices to rise and uncertainty to grow.""

And so, I'm obviously not the only one who suspects the Iranians are going to continue to toy with the POSOTUS and his Turd Reich.

[Tom Emmer Decides The Real Problem Is Being Called A Racist, Not Being One]

Unfortunately, this MAGAt represents a congressional district with a Cook Partisan Voting Index (Cook PVI) of R+10:

Tom Emmer Decides The Real Problem Is Being Called A Racist, Not Being One

"He said this out loud. Weird flex, Tom. "

As per this article:

"House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) apparently decided this was the week to stop mincing words. At a recent event, Emmer declared he was "done being even the least bit careful" before informing his Somali-American constituents that they "don't assimilate" and should "go the hell back to where they came from" if they don't.

Emmer represents Minnesota's 6th District, home to one of the largest Somali-American communities in the country. Emmer does not appear to have considered the irony of telling his own constituents to leave.

"Guess what? There is nothing racist about calling out a criminal," he said. "So when I say that..."House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) apparently decided this was the week to stop mincing words.

This article continues on about this particular incident in detail. But, you get the idea. In the Turd Reich under the POSOTUS, they don't have to hide their identities behind their ol' KKK white hoods anymore.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Points Out The Delicious Irony In Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool Fiasco]

I think AOC explained this situation well:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Points Out The Delicious Irony In Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool Fiasco

"The New York Democrat also explained why the debacle was predictable."

As per this article:

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) waded into the controversy surrounding the algae- and peeling paint-plagued Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Tuesday.

Asked by the MeidasTouch Network for her take on the fallout from President Donald Trump's troubled $14 million renovation project, the New York Democrat suggested the problems were predictable given the current White House's anti-science agenda.

"I mean, when you defund science research, when you don't really understand the first thing about science, yeah, they talked a bunch of smack," she said.

Ocasio-Cortez then zinged: "They said they had to repaint the pool and now they've turned the place into a swamp. They turned it into an actual swamp."

The "swamp" of Washington, D.C., was, of course, what Trump repeatedly vowed to drain during his three presidential campaigns."

So, it looks to me like it's time for a remake of that old Swamp Thing movie. Perhaps the people at The Onion would be interested in taking the project on. After all, they seem pretty flush with cash these days.

'Tis the 27^th day of the Season of Confusion in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192, and time to not give a damn about celebrating the Confusloth Whollyday.

Carry on.

[Italy's Meloni says Trump 'made up' story that she 'begged' him for photo at G7]

The Ego has landed. Again:

Italy's Meloni says Trump 'made up' story that she 'begged' him for photo at G7

As per this article:

"Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, has said she is astonished after President Donald Trump told Italian TV she had "begged" him for a picture with her, in comments that have provoked an open row between the two leaders.

Meloni said Trump's comments were entirely "made-up", and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has cancelled a trip to the US early next week."

And, that's why he's it's the POSOTUS.

[Trump calls for impeachment of Senate Democrat who called ending Obama's Iran deal 'bad mistake']

The POSOTUS just can't handle constructive criticism:

Trump calls for impeachment of Senate Democrat who called ending Obama's Iran deal 'bad mistake'

As per this article:

"President Trump on Sunday called for the impeachment of Democratic Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), after the lawmaker criticized his decision to pull out of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in his first term.
 
"Senator Jack Reed, a Dumocrat from R.I., lied when stating the the Deal we just made is not as good as the Obama disaster known as the JCPOA. Reed is either an outright fraud, or incompetent," Trump wrote in a Sunday post on Truth Social.

"The Obuma Deal was a road to a Nuclear weapon for Iran, cash and all, one of the worst and dumbest (hence Dumocrats!) Deals ever made by the U.S. Our Deal is a WALL against Iran ever having a Nuclear weapon, the complete opposite of Obuma. Impeach Jack Reed!" he added.
 
A sitting senator cannot be impeached but can be expelled through a resolution that requires a two-thirds majority vote."

Now we replenish our popcorn supplies, sit back, and watch how many members of the Republicult™ eagerly jump on the Impeach Jack Reed Bandwagon.

[After White House bout, UFC fighter disparages Michelle Obama as 'a man']

Here's yet another example of a white trash MAGAt hero preaching to his choir:

After White House bout, UFC fighter disparages Michelle Obama as 'a man'

The former first lady and her husband, former president Barack Obama, have frequently been the targets of racist insults.

As per this article:

"UFC fighter Josh Hokit used his post-bout interview Sunday night at the White House to disparage former first lady Michelle Obama.
 
In a post-fight interview, the heavyweight fighter praised President Donald Trump for hosting the event, which was intended to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
 
He then insulted the mother of one of his rivals, thanked Jesus and ended by shouting: "And lastly — Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?""

After all, that's what MAGAtry is all about. There may be a Presidential Medal of Freedom coming this asshole's way in the near future.
