I never thought I’d see the day when a politician spewing obvious lies in an interview, engaging in ad hominem attacks against the interviewer, and storming off like a toddler would achieve anything but alienation.
But this will go mostly unnoticed by his supporters. Cue Carr threatening NBC’s broadcast license in 3, 2, 1…
It always makes me think of black folks telling funny stories, like:
“Everybody was minding their business, ain’t nobody said shit. This fool walks in with a whole ass baked potato in his mouth like it’s normal…”
So I enjoy the memes from that angle, even if they’re not coming from the original intent.
That said, even that angle doesn’t make this one work.
And the party chooses the reps, or how is that done?
I live near Paxton, and he’s the pick of the scum litter. I’d like to think him winning the nom today would mean an easier path for Talarico, but I’m not convinced of that. After all, magans like to double down on awful people to sate their baseless grievance urges.
When you say proportional representation–is that to say the number of representatives per state is decided by the population level? If so that sounds great.
But without districts and candidates therein, how would you determine who is voting for what?
I’ve seen many statements over the years calling the DNC leadership incompetent and bought.
Honestly until now I haven’t been interested enough to look into them.
But even I can see the blatant, out of touch jackassery amid the facts around this autopsy report. If this were any other major organization I think it would be gutted and started anew.
Galindo, a therapist
That’s kind of a giveaway that she’s another Crockett, a literal straw-woman propped up by fascist donors who hope to torch her for an easy R win.
Sure, any therapist could also want to persecute Jews, but to reconcile that desire with being a mental health advocate takes a special brew of crazy.
The donor ploys are obvious. It makes them look dumb and desperate. Saying that, fellow voters often find the capacity to get duped. So we’ll see, I guess?
Edit: Well shit, I missed that she already won the primary. So the dupe took hold and this is the aftermath.
Also OP: You’re not even trying to hide that you’re a fascist tool? What a fulfilling life you must have.
It is, and poor old Thomas is working on his fourth decade. What an American, to have given up so much of his life to serve the public. At least he’s enjoyed gratuities from equally selfless patriots along the way.
I was going to flip the situation to demonstrate Republican hypocrisy. If Biden had pulled the shit Trump did over the 2020 election and his supporters had responded the way maga did…
But that can’t make sense. Biden wouldn’t have done that, nor would supporters in any significant numbers.
The mass lunacy is all on one side. J6 is the most glaring example of this con man and his army of degenerates in action, and Republicans/followers are completely OK with knowing the truth of this.
After Trump dies of malignant narcissism and has been gone awhile maga will find itself in a hopeless state of irrelevance. But even then they won’t admit to themselves that it was their own doing.
Some of us know but keep the damn things off anyway
The founders didn’t account for the level of government vulnerability to bad actors when they made SC seats lifetime appointments.
Or disproportional representation, the Patriot Act, Citizens United, etc…so many huge holes left for those who would exploit them.
So much has changed that makes term limits in SCOTUS an important check on assholes. But those who have helped usher in the fuckery items listed above will do all they can to avoid losing ground. They’ll trample all over we the people as long as they can continue to sucker the rubes into actually voting for this shit show.
Is it true?
Could I really have lost touch with the tenets of this office?
No. it’s the citizens who are wrong.
I’m hopeful there may even be republican dissent for all the overstepping. I think there are still plenty of traditional, small government types who are looking out for number one by faking support while privately being under duress.
If that’s true, it may embolden the equally cowardly dems to finally take appropriate action. One can hope, anyway.
Dungeon Crawler Carl vibes
When he’s gone and we’re working on plugging these exploits never used by more honorable men (I realize this includes Nixon, ugh), I think historians will begin to point out all the horrible shit. But they will say he did inadvertent good by exposing vulnerabilities in the government.
That’s if things go well and a majority collectively learn in hindsight how fucked up things are.
According to Cheney, Eastman intends to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Not a lawyer, but I’d bet SCOTUS doesn’t have jurisdiction over a state issued law license.
This is all the better because we know he’s seen it. And this is exactly the type of trolling he loves to dish out so much being thrown back in his face.
So not only could he have lost supporters over the slop, the reply slop is superior. It ridicules him with Epstein while highlighting what a farce his inner circle is.
He’s probably simmering on it every time he stops focusing on further bungling things with Iran. I hope it’s a contributing factor to some stress-induced condition that hurts like hell.
How is it smart? Honest question, because it strikes me as pissing off the countries that charter those ships as well as the oil companies (boo hoo, but they have pull with all their money).
Fuck sake, now he’s threatening third-party vessels with his malevolent idiocy. This is a big misstep of an escalation, no?
Strong Man look weak. Look scared. Strong Man pay big money for end fight. Fight not over. Strong Man not know what do, want go home, forget fight. Strong Man tribe not forget.
