Republican Party of Wisconsin chair Brian Schimming seen clutching his pearls after remarks to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,10/3/2024

Like, chill, dude!
"They think it's cute to go do this thing in Ripon, but the truth of the matter is, people are not going to vote on the fact that Liz Cheney went into Ripon today," Schimming said. "You know, of the of the top 20 things that might move voters in this election, Cheney is like, number 270."

You have more urgent matters to fuss over, Chumley.

Politico, 9/30/2024
Some battleground state Republicans say they’re worried they see little evidence of Donald Trump’s ground game — and fear it could cost him the election in an exceedingly close race. 
In interviews, more than a dozen Republican strategists and operatives in presidential battlegrounds voiced serious concerns about what they described as a paltry get-out-the-vote effort by the Trump campaign, an untested strategy of leaning on outside groups to help do field work and a top-of-the-ticket strategy that’s disjointed from the one Republicans down the ballot are running. [emphasis added]
Schimming was not interviewed for this article.

U.S. 40 Cross Section of the United States of America (Chapter 40: Hayfield)

 
That was then (1953).  



From chapter 40:
No portrait of Kansas along the course of U.S. 40 -- or along any highway -- would be complete without one agriculutural scene.
This is now.  A stretch of U.S. 40 between Lawrence and Topeka, though not likely in the same location as in 1953.

Majority of members of Brookfield (Wisconsin) Common Council vote in favor of voter suppression

 
In Brookfield, 80% of residents are white and 50.3% are female.

HeadlineWTMJ, 8/21/2024
All who spoke at the meeting in public comment on Tuesday night talked in favor of having the drop box option. 
“What I’m asking you to do is realize that people with disabilities and older adults don’t have the ability to have the control to get to the city hall to drop off their absentee ballot during office hours all the time,” said Julie Burish.

Related reading:

One of them is Brookfield, the western suburb of Milwaukee. Residents there requested access to drop boxes, saying it would eliminate a barrier for voters with disabilities and older adults who can’t always go to the city hall to drop off their absentee ballot, TMJ4 reported. But officials voted to opt out after the city clerk and city attorney said drop boxes would require extra work to set up and monitor and that they were unnecessary in a post-pandemic election.

Carl Hiaasen's "Potussies" spring from the pages of fiction into real life

 
Photo and headline New York Times, 9/30/2024
“Those beautiful ladies from North Carolina are here again without their husbands,” Mr. Trump observed at a rally in Mosinee, Wis., on Sept. 9, veering off from a rant about the 2020 election. He gestured toward the rafters and a row of a dozen impeccably coifed women in brightly colored pantsuits, as if they had wandered in from an Easter gala. 
The women waved and blew kisses at the former president, who speculated that the women had attended “249 or something” rallies. “That means they have money,” he said approvingly.

Related reading:

Hiaasen said he based the character of Mastodon on President Donald Trump. 
When he is at his Palm Beach residence, Casa Bellicosa, which Hiaasen said was inspired by Mar-a-Lago, Mastodon spends his time tweeting, baking on his state-of-the-art tanning bed, and being worshipped by a group of elderly society dames known as The Potussies.

Excerpt from Amazon Book Review
Squeeze Me is the story of a bumbling President (code name Mastodon), a philandering First Lady, Burmese pythons, a group of Palm Beach socialites/presidential groupies who call themselves the POTUSSIES, and a wildlife wrangler named Angie Armstrong. After a founding member of the POTUSSIES is found dead (and during charity ball season, no less!), the President attributes her murder to the "rampaging immigrant hordes," but the real culprit is something else entirely.

Robert, Michael, were you unaware?

Representative Derrick Van Orden attended the March to Save America rally in Washington on January 6 and joined the march to the Capitol, but claims he didn’t participate in the violence. He has said that he “went there to stand with them, to stand up for electoral integrity.” After being en- dorsed by Trump in 2022, he finally won the congressional district seat long held by Democrats, which he narrowly lost in 2020.
