U.S. Capitol Police are called after Republican campaign arm sends
moving boxes to vulnerable Democrats

October 31, 2019

The National Republican Congressional Committee hand-delivered moving boxes
Thursday to the offices of several vulnerable House Democrats, prompting calls
for the Capitol Police to investigate what some viewed as suspicious packages.

Eva Malecki, a Capitol Police spokeswoman, said the incident had been cleared
by late Thursday afternoon.

On Thursday afternoon, several reporters posted online photos of large brown
moving boxes that were left outside the offices of some House Democrats.

“The @NRCC pulled a ridiculous stunt, leaving suspicious packages across
Capitol Hill and diverting and wasting law enforcement resources."

The techbros that earn their living from leeching off of Trump's corruption
offered up one of their childhood memories of Halloween fun.

Fresh new publicity could be exploited by Trump because the movie
"Hocus Pocus" recently was mentioned- a remake was in the works.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, and Bette Midler are declared enemies
of Trump's fantasy of becoming Top Tyrant- so they are fair game to the techbros.

After Trump was seriously rejected by thousands at the DC Nationals stadium-

He looks like he's about to cry. Tough. Think about all the kids in cages,
that he made cry. He's put us through three years of utter hell.

This isn't one of his phony rallies. This is the real deal, and I am proud
of DC for letting him hear the truth for once.

— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) October 28, 2019

As one of the creators of HOCUS POCUS, I am disgusted by this putrid act
of evasion. This is the worst president in our history, and I object in every way
his attempt to co-opt, no matter how poorly, our creation.

Leave our witches alone, oh Evil One

Trump's campaign promoted a $24 fine art print on Twitter that appears
to rip off the 1993 film's iconic poster.

President Donald Trump did not receive a special discount for his
World Series tickets on Sunday, though he wasn’t the one to foot
the bill.

The Republican National Committee paid $465 per seat in the luxury
suite at Nationals Park for Trump and his wife, 12 members of Congress
and senior White House staff members to attend Game 5 of the World
Series, according to the Washington Post.

Trump brought 12 members of Congress with him into the suite,
including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and David Perdue (R-GA),
Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Kevin Brady (R-TX),
Liz Cheney (R-WY), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Kay Granger (R-TX),
Mark Meadows (R-NC), John Ratcliffe (R-TX), Steve Scalise (R-LA)
and Mac Thornberry (R-TX.) Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
was sitting in a nearby box, per the report, though did not attend
the game with Trump’s group.


In total, the RNC paid about $14,000 for the 30 seats in the suite.
MLB had the luxury box reserved for league use ahead of time.

Seats in the private luxury box, and transportation and security paid for by the tax-payer

Election propaganda production was effortless- see how Democrats treat
the Right's heroic Trump! Victimized and attacked! So many ememies!

Nationals Pitcher Explains Why He Won't Attend White House Celebrations

“There’s a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end
of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling
of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country.
My wife and I stand for inclusion and acceptance, and we’ve done
work with refugees, people that come from, you know, the ‘shithole countries,'
” Doolittle said, mimicking when Trump referred to Haiti, El Salvador and
African nations as “shithole countries” in a January 2018 meeting.

“At the end of the day, as much as I wanted to be there with my teammates
and share that experience with my teammates, I can’t do it,”
Doolittle continued. “I just can’t do it.”

“I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and [Trump] is a guy that mocked
a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with
somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves
his hands? I can’t get past that stuff”

Seems as though the Trump loyalist machine has miscalculated

But our local geniuses clearly didn't come up with the socialist shtick.
Apparently, the mailer is adapted from a national Republican
"the commies are coming!" template. Kentucky Republicans
sent out a mailer this week with photos of Warren, AOC, Sanders
and Democrat Andy Beshear edited to hug close to each other.
(Where is Nancy?)

It proclaimed, "Andy Beshear and the national Democrats want to bring socialism
to Kentucky," listing the old southern-strategy racist trope, "Punishing success and
giving your money to others."

Both mailers are designed with tabloidy splashes of neo-communist red and yellow.
They really do think southerners are stupid.
