You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up

In an interview with Megyn Kelly today on Kelly's podcast, Donald Trump said he didn't know who gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation.

He did.

It was him.

[Joe Guy]

I think Trump is in some kind of competition with himself to see how stupid he can be in public.

The Texas GOP voted against a proposed ban on members associating with Nazi sympathizers

The Texas GOP executive committee voted against a measure that would ban Republicans from associating with Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathizers.

The committee, by a vote of 32 to 29, removed the clause from a pro-Israel resolution, according to The Texas Tribune. The resolution would have banned members of the party from associating with people who "espouse or tolerate antisemitism, pro-Nazi sympathies or Holocaust denial," according to the outlet.

Members of the executive committee who disagreed with the inclusion of the language said that words like "tolerate" and "antisemitism" are too vague, according to The Texas Tribune. Some committee members said the ban was akin to "leftist" tactics and would be problematic for the party, according to the outlet.

"It could put you on a slippery slope," committee member Dan Tully said.

The measure came just two months after former Republican Texas state representative Jonathan Stickland met with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Fuentes is an avowed Hitler admirer who has called for a "holy war" against Jews.

The Texas Tribune took photos of Fuentes entering Pale Horse Strategies, a conservative consulting agency owned by Stickland, in October. Following the meeting, nearly half of the executive committee called for the party to stop associating with Defend Texas Liberty, a political action committee headed by Stickland, the outlet reported.

The language in the pro-Israel resolution was proposed as an alternative to cutting ties with Defense Texas Liberty, according to the report.

The committee ultimately passed the resolution without the provision, according to the Rome News-Tribune, a local newspaper.

Rolando Garcia, a committee member who drafted the language, said its removal "sends a disturbing message."

"We're not specifying any individual or association," Garcia said, according to The Tribune. "This is simply a statement of principle."

The Texas GOP did not immediately return a request for comment from Business Insider.

It would have been difficult to enforce, since most Texas Republicans would have been prohibited from associating with themselves.

Did anybody watch any coverage of the oral arguments today on Trump’s immunity appeal?

Mind boggling.

The appellate argument yesterday was jaw-dropping, but have you seen today's proceedings of the House Special Committee for the Investigation of Hunter Biden's Penis? Spectacular GOP shitshow!

Also, Jasmine Crockett needs to be made president of everything.

[MajGenl.Meade]

have you seen today's proceedings of the House Special Committee for the Investigation of Hunter Biden's Penis?

Is that oral argumentation?

Oh, that's the House *Judiciary* Committee's Special Investigation of Hunter Biden's Penis. You want the House *Oversight* Committee's Special Investigation of Hunter Biden's Penis:

.

I know it can be confusing when the GOP requires so many committees to investigate Hunter Biden's Penis. There must be something big there.

Thanks for clearing that up, I got bored watching the other one and had stopped after about half an hour.

MAGA World has lost its damn mind over Taylor Swift and it's just as stupid as every other conspiracy theory they're peddling/embracing. It is indisputable that she had a great game Sunday against the Ravens as KC offensive coordinator, and she will kick a 60-yard field goal in the Super Bowl after flying in from 4 days of sold-out concerts in Tokyo where she will also perform the world's first underwater heart transplant.
