Is Rubio Trying To Determine If He Should Wake Donald Trump?

 

WISGOP's Memorial Day Mishaps

 Memorial Day is one of the few days of the year when Republicans like to pretend to give a damn about the brave men and women who serve to protect our nation.  Fitting that description to a tee was Tom Trumpfany, who was out and about, glad-handing, and pretending to honor our fallen soldiers:

Naturally, Trumpfany made no mention of how much he honored our vets when he voted to cut services, housing, health care, and food assistance for tens of thousands of vets.  What a guy!

Another point is that the Milwaukee County Republicans, who apparently have already given up on winning in their county, went to Elm Grove to help Tiffany, sharing the same picture:

If you look closely, you'll see Will Martin, WISGOP's chosen candidate for Lt. Governor, standing next to Trumpfany:

Yet neither Trumpfany nor the Milwaukee County Republicans mentioned Martin. Could it be because he's Black?  Given their track record, it could very well be why they are dissing him like that.

Probably Had MAGA Stickers On The Back

Definitely not a smart person: 

Only a MAGA would be so arrogant and so stupid at the same time. 

WISGOP Settles For Fourth String Candidate

This past weekend was the state convention for the Republican Party of Wisconsin.  Among the activities were a lot of drinking and then picking out which candidates they were endorsing. The results were unintentionally and unironically hilarious.

They decided to endorse their fourth-string candidate, Tom Trumpfany Tiffany.  Early in 2025, WISGOP was begging their two favorite carpetbaggers, Eric Hovde and Tim Michels, to return to Wisconsin and run, but neither one wanted to throw away their millions to lose yet another election.  Later in 2025, during their state convention, Josh Schoemann won the straw poll.  However, Schoemann dropped out due to lacking the testicular fortitude to stand up to President Pedo when he endorsed his little bitch Tiffany.

Anyone who has been following Tiffany's social media timelines knows that Tiffany is a racist.  He is constantly harping about immigrants who are alleged to have committed a crime while ignoring the exponentially larger number of white, US-born citizens who have committed the same crimes.  

In a twist of irony, WISGOP took that information and chose to endorse Will Martin, a Black man, to be their Lt. Governor candidate.  

Oh, wouldn't you love to be a fly in the Tiffany campaign war room for the rest of the summer?  I bet it's a laugh riot.

I Still Have A Question About The White House Correspondents Dinner

 Thankfully the alleged gunman never made it past the security officers outside the White House Correspondents Dinner. The Secret Service did their job and took the suspect into custody and no one was hurt. 

But here's my question and it bothers me a bit. Most media outlets reported and the prosecutor stated in court during the suspect's initial appearance, that law enforcement fired five shots during the incident. But the suspect didn't suffer any type of gunshot wound. Highly trained and supposedly highly skilled officers who were probably within five or ten or twenty feet of the suspect fired their guns and he wasn't hit?

Thankfully no one else suffered a gun shot wound as a result of police actions but where did those bullets go? Five shots as close range and the suspect wasn't hit? Why isn't anyone asking about the training of the agents on the scene. If they hadn't been able to tackle him quickly, could he have made it into the dinner hall because the officers on duty couldn't shoot straight?

No one thinks this odd?

LinkedIn Thinks The FBI Is Looking For Me!

 I got a few of these emails from LinkedIn in early March and then April suggesting that I apply for jobs at the FBI and Secret Service. Then they stopped for a while but got two of these in the last two days. Hmmmm....

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is hiring a Special Agent: Education/Teaching Expertise:

Tom Tiffany shoveling the BS

Last week, Jessie Opoien of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Tom Tiffany's campaign advisors had told him not to underestimate Francesca Hong: 

The memo compares Hong to other potential Democratic candidates Tiffany could face in the Nov. 3 general election, viewing her as someone whose nomination "virtually guarantees elevated Democratic enthusiasm and turnout in Dane County and the Milwaukee media market, where statewide races are decided."

In contrast, the memo expects "more moderate and establishment Democratic alternatives would likely produce lower base motivation and depressed turnout."

"Unlike more moderate or establishment Democrats, Hong energizes the progressive base in a way that could drive record Democratic turnout precisely when midterms historically favor the party out of power," the consultants wrote. "Her issues resonate broadly with working- and middle-class voters and have some crossover with our populist positions. Hong could bring some turnout advantages with positions that reach outside Democrats' core base."

All of which jives with what we have seen in Wisconsin and nationally in elections.  There has been a major - as in double digits - shift to the left.  After the SCOWIS election last month, it showed that even the counties that Justice-Elect Chris Taylor lost still shifted to the left.  

Nationally, the trend has been the same. Furthermore, often the winner is the person conventional wisdom said was too radical left to win, such as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Apparently, some people have missed these facts.

Right-wing hack James Widgerson jumped on the article, mocking it and trying to claim that the memo was a clever ruse by the Tiffany campaign to trick Opoien, her editors, and thousands of readers into voting for Hong.  

Bruce Murphy, editor of Urban Milwaukee, doubled down on the dumb:

In short, Opoien and the JS got snookered, no doubt promised exclusive access to this disinformation intended to convince Democratic voters, whose number one concern is choosing a candidate with the best chance of defeating Tiffany, that Hong was the one causing sleepless nights for Republicans. The paper was so proud of its scoop that it did two stories on this, the first suggesting Hong’s campaign was on the rise, with the secret GOP memo as a key exhibit, and the second entitled “What a leaked GOP memo says about the candidacy of Francesca Hong.”

If the memo was a trick from Tiffany's campaign, it backfired badly.

Keep in mind, Tiffany is the GOP's fourth-string candidate. In early 2025, WISGOP was desperately trying to recruit its favorite carpetbaggers, Tim Michels and Eric Hovde, to return to Wisconsin to run.  They were so persistent that Hovde felt it necessary to make a video telling them he wasn't running. Things were too nice in Laguna Beach. 

In the 2025 Republican state convention, Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann beat Tiffany in a straw poll.  However, to be fair, Tiffany was still waiting for Fearless Leader Trump to give him permission to run.  Schoemann didn't drop out of the race until Trump endorsed Tiffany.  

The fact that Tiffany has squarely hitched his campaign to Trump, and Trump is polling worse than any president in history - See, he's number one at something! - It's no wonder that the Republicans are experiencing a severe enthusiasm gap. 

On the other hand, Hong's supporters are not showing any lack of enthusiasm whatsoever. The Tiffany memo - real or fake - is only going to add fuel to Hong's fire, which is something Tiffany doesn't need, but so richly deserves.
