Michael Harriot reports on the candidates for a congressional seat in Alabama:
His statement is complete word-salad.
By Trumpâs standards, itâs clear and comprehensible.
This Gaudy Bus at my Early Voting Center Blocking Parking

We can probably expect a lot more of this. Note that the mayor moved the ballot box after the city attorney told him he had no legal authority to do so.
One thing that did come as a response to that legal action was Representative Clay Higgins posting a tweet that was so vile and explicitly racist that even some of his own Republican colleagues condemned it:

It takes a lot these days for a Republican politicianâs statements to be seen as âshockingâ but damned if they arenât still trying their hardest.
And yet thatâs not stopping him from doubling down on it.
Also Iâm not sure how much effect the condemnations will have when the top Republican in the House stands with Higgins.
filing charges against our President and VP
So those dirty Haitian immigrants filed charges against Biden and Harris? I must have missed that! This asshat needs to go, promptly.
The tweet is a slightly more verbose and sophisticated way of saying âthose Haitians are uppity n*****sâ.
Higgins received backlash on Wednesday after he wrote, âLol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu [sic], nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters⌠but damned if they donât feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP. All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th.â
Return to tradition! An elderly person saying a storm is coming because they feel it in their bones. /s
What does the Farmerâs Almanac say?
Just donât ask a pollster: theyâll tell you they were great if they guessed right, and explain how you didnât understand quite how the caveats worked if they didnât.

Remember: thereâs only one poll that actually counts. Itâs the one where they count your votes and declare winners. Get the job done and good luck!

bit of a friend-of-a-friend story, but⌠Statistics prof acquaintance had a post-doc who was part of a (fairly well-known) polling agency, who stated: âThey like to make lots of early notably differing surveys so they can later point to the one which was proven âcorrectâ; they call it the Jeane Dixon strategy.â
FYI for folks in OhioâŚ

If you or someone you know is a voter in Ohio, pass along this information so you or they can check your registration.
(might have to start a separate âElections 2024 Dirty Tricks Editionâ) So if you receive a text offering you a chance to sign up to vote by mail, be very suspicious. (in the comments section we learn of other states beside Florida where this is occurring)
Shenanigans are afoot

So I just got the above text message and I think this is a neâerdowell committing election fraud.Why? While I was born in Florida and first registered to vote, the last time I voted in the state was the â00 election. The state has never contacted me in the intervening quarter century about anything election related (and youâre really telling me DeSantis is concerned about me voting, a registered Democrat? If so I have some choice Florida property to sell you, real cheap!), and most concerning the sender is in Rhode Island.
mum and i both got this message today!
we ignored it, because we plant to vote in person, on election day (our small community will have short lines, if any). but, damn! fraudsters abound here, no doubt about that.
Heâs hawking watches today. Fun fact, the watch selling for 100 grand is not water proof or even water resistant.
And nope, no money goes to the campaign, he just sold his name again.

As usual, Trump doesnât understand the law. He has to be charged with something so he can be jailed. The gun charges are obvious and easily provable federal crimes (as he did indeed have a gun when he wasnât supposed to, and that gun had a destroyed serial number).
It doesnât mean there wonât be more charges in the future, but it will take more time and effort to build a federal case for those. Attempted assassination of a president charges have a high bar, further complicated by no shot shots being taken, and Trump never being close enough to be in any danger. This makes intent harder to prove.
Ironically, the feds charging with attempted assassination would also make it harder for Florida to bring about state charges as the federal charges would supersede any state prosecution.
tl;dr: the system is working as intended, and this guy will likely never see the light of day again. As usual, Trump needs to just STFU.
