Gotcha!
You know how we’re always saying that whatever Republicans are accusing you of doing is exactly what they are doing.
We’ve got a good one for ya today.
Former congressfool and Trump White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, major supporter of voting “reform” to keep people from cheating while voting just … bingo! … cheated while voting.
His wife, Debra, drove the get away car. In the very least, they were partners in a voting law heist.
The New Yorker first reported that Mark and Debra Meadows submitted voter registration forms that listed as their home a mobile home with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they had never lived there. North Carolina officials announced last week that Mark Meadows is under investigation for potential voter fraud.
Oh, please, they could not possibly live in a mobile home. I mean, look at the size of her hair. It would at least have to be a doublewide.
The Washington Post article reminds its readers that another woman North Carolina was prosecuted for voting while on parole.
How about the hair on the vile Marsha Blackburn? One would think that a brush through that mess would be better looking on TV. Her hair made me itchy.
1Maybe voter ID laws should include a photo ID – – and one of your “house?”
C’mon Mark.
2Oh, but it was just a(nother) dishonest mistake. Any repugnantican politician could make such an error in judgement. And do every day. Does anyone really think he’ll be prosecuted in N Carolina for being just another lyin repugnantican? Nah, won’t happen.
3Besides, voter fraud is only for democrats. For repugnanticans, it’s just being creative.
Steve@3 you left off something:
Besides, voter fraud is only for democrats. For repugnanticans, it’s just being creative…
…and patriotic.
Those people have such a messed up perspective of fairness or patriotism.
4“…whatever Republicans are accusing you of doing is exactly what they are doing.”
Listening to KBJ’s confirmation hearings and getting creeped out by the R’s repeated questioning about child pornography.
5The Rethuglikans are the worlds’ ace projectionists. In the whole era of ‘movies’ there were never so many projectionists employed.
The fraudster Meadows won’t see a minute of guest time at the Graybar Hotel, ain’t got the right complexions.
Lots of juicy details on the Meadows pair of fraudulent voting artistes:

BTW, in many states Anglos get away with this scot-free [Rethugs anyway], while POC get years in the slammer.
Remember that lady around DFW who not too long ago mistakenly voted ‘something’, got nabbed, tried, and sentenced to 5-6 years in the TDC? For a minor procedural mistake.
6And Abbutt and the whole yowling pack of Rjackals howled for months, while they aimed to pass even more voter restriction laws.
She and Senator Marsha Blackburn must use the same hairdresser – Mr. Vegematic.
7$105,000 for a trailer? What’s that all about?
8Along the lines of Malarkey’s comments above, it appears that again today, fled texas cruz is not only possessed but obsessed about child pornography at the Judge Jackson hearing. It’s not really a hearing but a a platform for repugnanticans to campaign.
9Lock him up! As with the commission of a crime with a gun enhancement, there should be a special enhanced punishment for those who pretend to write the laws while breaking the law.
Dang. And, I was concerned after many failed attempts to have my name removed from the voter rolls in AZ and CA, that maybe I needed to do more so as to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing. While I never “double voted” or thought to do so, was substantially relieved when one of my attempts to remove my name met with the sweetest of ladies with many years of voter roll experience. She managed to remove my name in both states. Yes. Indeed. She was a Democratic poll and voter rolls worker.
10Malarkey @ 3: this was explained to me by a neighbor who “would never vote for a Democrat”. The Republicans *have* to cheat at voting, to combat the vast numbers of Democrats who are doing it. It’s purely a defensive action provoked by the dishonesty of the Dems.
She explained this in an exasperated tone, as if correcting a child who Simply Did Not Understand How the World Works. It’s like fighting heavily armed soldiers with signs that say “Love, Peace, and Flowers”. You have to get down and dirty like the enemy, dontcha know?
11Still laughing about the hair, JJ. I love your posts and am so happy to see more of them recently.
12Off-topic, but juicy news about the Salon’s favorite radio personality, Alex Jones:
https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Alex-Jones-skips-deposition-in-Sandy-Hook-17022979.php
Seems he got his mommy to write a note excusing him from PE class, but the coach told him it was not good enough. Now Jones is going to have to suit up and run around the track while the other kids point and laugh.
[This guy must leave a trail of slime everywhere he goes. Had his lawyer show up at the 9 AM deposition with the Sandy Hook families to tell them that he could not come because of some medical condition. They should tell him that they understand, and that their kids could not attend on account of being dead.]
13Oldymoldy @7, Hey, you must not be in Texas.
Around the Corpus Christi-San Antonio-Austin areas, real estate has been smokin’ at valuation increases of ~20% this last year, 10-15% the last couple decades plus.
In my mostly rural county adjacent to a big city containing county, even mobile homes on small acreage are selling in a matter of days-two weeks for $250-$700K! Usually cash on the barrelhead over the listing price. It’s absolutely insane.
I’ve semi-closely followed and dabbled in RE for ~55 years now, many ups and downs [Remember the devastating TX oil-RE bust/crater of the mid-’80s? I was buying.]. I’ve never seen anything like this.
My ex last year sold her nearby ~25y/o mobile [~2400sqft] on a few acres for north of $300K, yeah $300,000+ clams for a mobile [had paid ~$65K for it orig]. Bought a quite small city house for ~$200K cash recently and has change left.
That $200K city house was ~$40K fifteen years ago, been appreciating at ~8-15%/yr since [avg ~10-11%/yr], insane.
My place was $120K ~20yr ago. when it hits $2M I’m gone [a few years hence @12%/yr avgapr]. Then I go really mobile, floating away.
Unless there’s another bubble bust [like if the Mango Mofo gets in and everything goes to hell in a handbasket].
14The Surly Professor @12, you reminded me that I was going to mention here [and forgot] that the local 12PM teevee news had a segment about it. Which they apparently haven’t preserved online. So this will do : https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/newtown-families-alex-jones-fails-to-show-up-for-deposition/ar-AAVpYWd

And for fun:
Nearby baby alligators!
Trey cute, until they get about eight feet long..:

I could offer them some dietary suggestions, starting with TFFG…
15How does this work? Dr lizard of Oz running for congress in PA when he lives in NJ? And Biden wisely asked for him to resign his trumpf appointed position on the Nutrition Advisory council today (he’s been grifting phony supplements for years). Of course he refused which will help his campaign. How do these people get so crazy? Maybe he has a rusted out mobile home in PA.
16A trailer? Really? Did he actually think that would make him look like just another hard workin’ guy like his constituents? And he deliberately never lived in it? That should really piss of all the hard workin’ guys who do and only wish they could live in an actual house. And was it simply an investment? Hey, a rusty roof tells you a lot about the inside. He would have to pay somebody to buy it and that is probably what he did considering the stated amount of money he got for it. Easy sleezy peezee! Andhe will never learn cuz he is so speshul.
17We’ve been watching the Meadows saga for a while over here in NC…seems the local Repub D.A. won’t touch it, but asked the FBI to investigate. (That way it’ll look like a Biden witchhunt, dontcha know?)
Mrs. Meadows rented it for 3 months as a vacation getaway – she stayed a week or so. Hubby never even visited…..they both live outside DeeCee, but maybe they’re planning to return to the Old North State sometime in the far distant future????
I’m hoping for SOMEBODY to throw the book at both of them! I’m sick of POC getting slammed for honest mistakes while the actual criminals are running the legal system.
18And Mrs. Congressfool! HOneuy, if you have to stick you finger in a light socket just to get the hairstyle you love so much, something’ ain’t right with you!

Kwhite the conniving voter fraudster.
20The lady facing hard time is named Latisha Bratcher Jones.
You can fill in the rest.
21Does anyone remember Bush [residence in Texas, registered to vote in Texas, Texas drivers license] and Cheney [residence in Texas, registered to vote in Texas, drivers license in Texas] being elected President and Vice President in flat out violation the Constitution (amendment 12)?
Oh yeah. At the last minute Cheney changed his voter registration to his vacation home in Wyoming.
I do believe that’s voter fraud.
After we let the ratbastards get away with that one, Republicans are just following in the time honored tradition of violating the Constitution.
22Some hedge fund manager named Peter Schiff keeps complaining because President Zelenskyy doesn’t dress up when addressing Congress (or the British and Canadian parliaments). He hasn’t said a word about Blackburn’s hair. I’m glad the folks at this salon are on the case.
23Buttermilk Sky @23,
JFC!
President Zelenskyy has been actively and bravely leading his nation from a capitol under constant attack and siege. This heroic leader also makes incredibly dangerous forays in the countryside to rally the soldiers and citizens of Ukraine in their struggle against a vicious invader.
He is also under an intense threat of assassination at any moment, so Volodymor is probably constantly on the move from one safe location to another.
Let alone dodging Russian air, missile, and artillery strikes night and day.
And yet is still urged by a pampered prick from NYC to waste very valuable time preening himself to the standards expected by some vapid chickenshit vampiresquid?
This manicured prissy-assed mega-wealthy NYC sonuvabitch Peter Schiff [who probably has a butler and staff to help him get ‘suitably’ dressed] has the unmitigated gall to criticize a true patriot whose every living minute is fraught with immense danger!?
All I can say is: FUCK YOU PETER SCHIFF! And the jackass you rode in on [Hi, Ted..].
24High Five Sandridge @ 24!
25The only reports I saw of actual voter fraud were done by rePUKEians!! And that is not counting the biggest rePUKEian fraud…gerrymandering!
26Off-topic, but other shenanigans by Republicans: Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE1) was convicted on all three counts in California federal court yesterday (two counts of lying to the FBI, one count of taking a cash contribution from a Nigerian billionaire of $20,000 old-school in a brown paper bag).
My guess is Fortenberry will not resign his seat (he’s said he’s going to appeal). Our state GOP is trying to underbus him. Our state Dems think they can flip the seat, despite more extreme gerrymandering this time round.
There is nothing requiring Fortenberry to resign from Congress even if he is jailed: He can still collect his salary and deny a special election which might cause a Democratic pickup.
27Oh, damn! My son just told me the real reasons why a married man, especially a Congressfool, would have a rusting trailer out int he woods. One does not have to actually live in it, only visit it for various and even perverse reasons. And I still say that at 47 he is too young to know such things!
28Robert @25, Thanks. I just reacted with that ‘blast away’ without even verifying it.
Did later verify, and Mr. S is as bad an GQP asshole as assumed.
He has a long history, and is a minor MAGAot teevee and RWNJ radio celebrity.
In addition to his suspicious looking financial endeavors: he’s a principal in several ‘managed funds’, and a gold-precious metals selling company…
He even founded and runs an offshore bank that has been the object of several financial and tax evasion investigations.
So he’s about your usual Rethuglikan grifter. Not as flashy as TFFG the Rufous Ratbastard, but every bit as criminal.
