MAGA senator baffles with election claim: 'Dumber than a 5-pound bag of applesauce'

A MAGA Senator baffled political analysts and observers on Thursday during an interview on the right-wing TV network Newsmax.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) claimed during an interview that President Donald Trump was justified in raiding the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center on Wednesday because he was "cheated" during the 2020 general election. Trump has consistently claimed that he won Georgia during the 2020 election, even though a recount and multiple courts have certified that former President Joe Biden won the state.

"It all goes back to the 2020 election," Tuberville, who was elected to the Senate in 2020, said during the interview. "They cheated the heck out of President Trump. They cheated some senators. There's people that are up here in the Senate and House right now that got in because the ballot boxes were stuffed."

On Wednesday, Trump's FBI raided the Fulton County election office and confiscated more than 700 boxes of material related to the 2020 general election, including ballots and the county's voter rolls. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was part of the raid, according to reports, which fueled speculation that the administration would use the materials to subvert future elections.

Political analysts and observers reacted to Tuberville's claims on social media.

"He's dumber than a 5 pound bag of applesauce and half as useful," journalist Andrew Donaldson posted on X.

"I’ve never understood how it was possible to 'cheat' so Trump lost but many Republicans, like Coach Tuberville, won down ballot," Joyce Vance, a law professor at the University of Alabama, posted on X.

"Uh huh, and yet somehow, SOMEHOW despite all of this purported cheating, you managed to unseat an incumbent senator by 20 points. Guess they just forgot that race," Brian Rosenwald, senior editor at Made By History, posted on X.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
