Maybe you're thinking of Mein Herr.

Madison Cawthorn tells Tucker that if he loses the lawsuit that gets him tossed off the ballot, the “will of the people” will be subverted. You really CANT make this stuff up.
 
Donald Trump’s new social media venture, Truth Social, launched late on Sunday in Apple’s App Store, potentially marking the former president’s return to social media after he was banned from several platforms last year. The app was available shortly before midnight ET and was the top free app available on the App Store early Monday.

​

The good news for the former president is that there appears to be quite a bit of interest in the new platform. The bad news is that yesterday was not a successful day for the Trump Media & Technology Group.

For one thing, the rollout was plagued by systemic errors and breakdowns. Users not only couldn’t use the platform, they struggled to create accounts.



For another, the Truth Social logo looks remarkably similar to the logo used by Trailar, a British green energy company, for the last few years. The British company’s head of marketing said it is currently “seeking legal advice to understand next steps and options available to protect our brand.”

But even putting these relevant details aside, it’s not at all clear when people will actually start using Trump’s social network in earnest. The original plan was to have a fully functional platform by President’s Day. That was yesterday, and Team Trump obviously missed that target.

Nunes said he expects a “fully operational” service by the end of March.

In the meantime, there are ongoing questions about who and what are responsible for the Trump Media & Technology Group’s financing, which has reportedly drawn the interest of investigators at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

The funny thing is that was the argument for putting a business guy in charge all along. They would hire the true experts for every position regardless of party affiliation. In fact what happened is he hired the biggest idiots at every position strictly on party affiliation.
 
You mean to tell me that a guy who bankrupted his own casino and has dozens of other failed business ventures doesn't know how to properly develop and release a new technology platform?

1. They stole the code
2. They implemented it incompetently
3. It will be hacked and all its users' information stolen within 6 months

Probably lifted it from that other conservative version of Twitter that died a quick death after being deplatformed and allowing PII to be stolen - what was that called? Parlor? Parle Vous? Something like that. ;-)

It actually is stolen code. They took open source software, modified it, and locked it as proprietary against the open source agreement without giving credit to the open source base.
 
In his (Tucker Carlson) monologue and in a follow-up interview with former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Carlson promoted the slander—often featured in Russian state propaganda—that when American politicians talk about defending freedom or democracy, they’re really just serving their own commercial interests. He offered two explanations for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine: corrupt financial ties between Ukraine and President Joe Biden and a secret plot to drive up energy prices. “Maybe expensive energy would be good for the many renewable deals their friends and donors are invested in,” he speculated—the “they” referring to Biden and other Democrats. In the interview with Gabbard, Carlson nodded along—“Right,” he interjected—as Gabbard accused the American “power elite” of betraying both “the American people” and “the Russian people.”

Of course, Carlson also likes to target immigrants, and in his remarks on Tuesday, he impugned the patriotism of Alexander Vindman, a Ukrainian-American who came to the United States at age four, joined the military, and earned a Purple Heart in Iraq. Vindman “believes you have a moral obligation to defend his homeland,” Carlson told viewers, deriding Vindman’s objections to the invasion of Ukraine. In case anyone missed the dual-loyalty smear, Carlson added: “Your job is to take up arms in defense of Alexander Vindman’s home country, or else you’re evil.”

As Carlson defended Putin, he referred repeatedly to race. Americans shouldn’t “hate Putin,” he argued, since Putin hadn’t committed the offense that would have most clearly warranted such hatred. “Has Putin ever called me a racist?” he asked, describing the questions he wants viewers to ask themselves. “Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? . . . Is he trying to snuff out Christianity?”

This works in this country.
 
For those of you about to be introduced to Kim Reynolds for the first time following the SOTU next week, I'm sorry.

I will say she is probably the best example of the average modern day Republican, though. She's not full-bore Boebart or DeSantis, but still does a lot of the same political moves, just quieter.
