Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sarah Huckabee Sanders Join Kari Lake as VP Hopefuls for Trump

It seemed at one point not too long ago that the losing candidate in the race for governor of Arizona, Kari Lake, was the presumptive choice for vice president on a 2024 ticket with Trump. However, you could only see her last Tuesday if you watched one of two radical right-wing podcasts. 

She visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago immediately after the gubernatorial election was called in favor of her Democratic opponent. She has never conceded and has a lawsuit challenging the results of the election that hasn't yet been dismissed. She was trying to endear herself to the other loser who didn't concede with that visit to his home, and she continues attempting to remain close to him by appearing on radical right-wing podcasts to confirm theories about why she lost that she had not yet imagined. She, like Trump, are only popular among conspiracy theorists who are hellbent on being stupider than Trump. I would say also stupider than her, but she is much smarter and far more calculating than Trump. 

Tuesday, however, provided two Tea Party RINO women opportunities to audition for Trump on live television as to why they should be his vice-presidential running mate in 2024.

Top Secret Documents with Biden Less Like Mar-a-Lago and More Like Watergate

When news broke last week that top secret documents had been discovered in an office used by Joe Biden, the cries of hypocrisy and double standards rose from the right like it was the 15th ballot and Biggs just voted "present." However, the differences between that and the Mar-a-Lago raid are so significant that even people with Lauren Boebert's level of education might understand them if the differences were drawn out for them in pictures. My hope is to inspire thought, and I accept that thinking is not something people like Boebert do often. 

Anyway, for the rest of you, here are the reasons that the top-secret documents found stored improperly in Biden's possession is not like the Mar-a-Lago raid. In fact, it is probably no more scandalous than the cover-up of the Watergate break-in by Nixon.

Biden's people discovered the documents and notified the National Archives and the DOJ. The documents in Trump's possession were requested and then demanded by the National Archives. The documents weren't returned. Many boxes of documents were seized by the DOJ via an FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. In Biden's case, a dozen or so documents were discovered and immediately returned.
