Well, in one sense - looking back - it’s irony makes it awesome now. But at the time it made her look like a clown.  I wasn’t even a big fan of hers but at the time, I was just confused.  Why is she doing that??? I thought.

Agreed. This is the activist equivalent of Cindy Lauper’s ‘diversifying’ into Pro Wrestling. WTF David. Isn’t using money, power and connections to - pointlessly - crush someone what the bad guys do?? He might actually manage to make some people feel sorry for the My Pillow twat.

If you’ve got any experience dealing with humans you’ve already been told this.  If you say, “Calm down” to someone who’s upset, what does that person say in response?  “Don’t tell me to calm down!”  Eventually you figure out that does not work.

Well, the defund the police has been the metric many use for branding entire swaths of the population as socialists. It’s a spectacularly simple rhetorical devise. Cast large groups of your own population as radicals. Which will cause more and more over time to actually radicalize. All that’s needed are a collection of…

I think it’s hilarious that Mitch thinks he can still say, whoa!, I don’t want it THAT deep. He was perfectly fine with all the lunacy the base could send out into the world, so long as he got his way on all legislative fronts. Now he wants out? Now! He must have known. He may be explicitly - and gleefully - amoral,…

I’d say, don’t bother with editing him out of these things. Just find a way to not send him any royalties. The idea shouldn’t be to shame him. Currently there’s an entire ecosystem rewarding people who are willing to commit shameful acts (owning the libs). Trump uses that dynamic to his advantage politically. But if…

At the heart of every movement to a totalitarian regime is a lie. To be part of the movement you have to hold on to your believe in the lie at all costs. Doing so is in fact the test of membership in the movement. Sounds to me like that’s the trap your dad is in.

They’re holding an angry wolf by the ears - in the form of the their base. They probably don’t really want to hang on, but they sure as hell don’t want to let go.

I love the grammar in the description ... “and provides a green comfortable power source for your outdoor activities. Allowing you to release yourself during camping, outdoor adventures and RV trips with confidence.”

Yeah.  It’s more likely he just won’t stop others from doing the dirty work.  But who knows.  Maybe he will actually do the right thing this time.

We need to hang this garbage around the neck of every republican who equivocates about their previous full throated support, or worse, their complete silence. They rode the Trump train and white grievance for power. For cheap personal gain. They should be forced to admit exactly that publicly, every one of them. And…

The GOP’s tag line for Pence when he runs in 2024 — “Mike Pence! Hollow as the eye of the hurricane.”  I think it’s a winner.

Money.

And I am certain the GOP establishment will in fact reward him handsomely for his treachery to the country. They’re already talking about how brave he was in the face of all that pressure. “See how our man resolutely stood up for nothing!” Refused to act in our darkest hour. Powerfully put his own political calculus…

Should be from the Bay of Pigs.

Well congratulations!

Very fragile. Yes. That is exactly right. Trouble is, he always has been. Being fragile is the width and breadth of his professional life. Well, he’s got abject cruelty down cold as well. If he had a spine he would not be the ‘man’ he is. Sorry, no spine here, only spleen.

Heavens no! Not reckless language!! From our president?!!?  Why we’d all better give him the sternest of talkings-to.

Yeah. I think even his old buddy Mitch would be just too happy to cut his throat publicly. After he’s out of office.

At first I was thinking, they don’t have to. Just get Donny, “three-extra-donuts” pissed off about something and point him at the DOD. Still in charge. But now I see your point. The VP, the cabinet and secretaries of, well, whatever, would be left with no choice but to remove him. And they would finally have some wind…
