The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult


Hugo Stiglitz

Recommended Posts

538 had a good 20-25 minute read on the Republican Party and how their electorate has been shaped since the 60s. I hate they call it the “whitening” of the party, cause it’s off-putting and makes one think it’s going to be a circlejerk of Dems having a moral high ground. Did a great job in showing how there have been choices in each decade to add to the party but don’t. Just as maddening is seeing the predictions of it being the end of the party and never actually being the end. Learned some things about Jimmy Carter and Jesse Jackson as well.

Oh shit. Are they really trying to abandon twitter for some alt right 4 Chan?

There's definitely been a coordinated push to get all the little conservaflakes to run to the echo chamber of safety known as Parler.    Bold strategy, we'll see how it works for them.

You know, I feel bad about this whole thing.

 

i mean, I think this really exposes that We don’t get enough Penis compliments.

i mean I don’t want to get sexual assaulted or anything.... but a nice word or two would be good every once in a while

 

 

I can’t compliment your penis if you don’t show it to me.

As an apology for the perceived partisanship, Torchy's is bringing back the original Republican until its new version is completed

Looks like Grassley is awakening.

 

 

 

Draining the swamp?  Grassley has been a senator for 40 years. By definition, he is the swamp. 

How fucking stupid do these Republican senators and representatives (looking at you, Matt Gaetz) think their electorate is?

Summary: no shit, Sherlock.  This has been our point, dude -- those of us who have seen this happening for years have raised every fucking warning flag imaginable....but none of it matters.

Because we the people are just gutpunchingly stupid.

Wasn’t sure whether to post in the RE-Opening and Closing thread or here, but the Texas GOP Convention may be shifting virtual 17 days before its scheduled start. The Texas Medical Association had been their large sponsor and started taking heat for the fact it’s in person, with no requirement for masks and in one large enclosed area at the George R Brown convention center. Estimated attendance around 6k. Apparently they have asked the Texas GOP to pull the plug. Scott Braddock reporting the chatter

All jokes aside, look at what this asshole has done to our country. These people are more susceptible to death due to the virus and Trump has divided our country so bad that they’re risking death to harm and protest each other. Shits bad y’all.

Maybe you’re not getting “nice penis” compliments because your penis isn’t that nice

Not only should the dems change the filibuster rule, but they should also pass a rule that a vote from a Kentucky senator doesn’t count. 

Unless the Kentucky senator is the neighbor of a former senator who kicked said former senator's ass in a fight.

So are republicans using the phrase “Democrat Party” as some sort of code or something?  McCarthy used it today press briefing. 

Sounds uneducated. 

Only for the last four years or so.  Where you been, man.  They can't call it "democratic" because it isn't.  It's socialist!  Hurrr durr.  I think Trump more or less invented it.

They’ve been doing it for years. If it ever had an edge, it’s long gone. Not that they’d know better

This, they’ve been doing it since at least the 80’s. Supposedly they did some research that found people felt it sounded abrasive or negative. I dunno, it’s just their usual troll job.
