It's time to clean the toilets again. I'll catch the recaps on PBS, MSNBC, and CNN.

The only thing of interest in this debate will be the zingers. They'll be all over the internet on Thursday for my convenience.

Thanks for sitting through the shit, Evan.

I'd like to thank the brave volunteers of Wonkette who will watch this debacle and report on it so I can avoid potential brain damage doing it for myself.

“Much of the event will likely be about shitting on Ron DeSantis for sport.“

Now that is some must-see teevee!

I know Evan didn’t mean it literally, but, it’s Republicans, it could actually happen. (Anyway I can dream can’t I?)

Be there, or be elsewhere?

Eight losers enter.

That's it.

Did we ever get that mug shot of Trump that Georgia promised us?

He doesn't get booked until Thursday.

“Some people are saying” that he is going to do it tomorrow, that, along with the ritual tea-bagging he will receive from Tucker Carson, would most likely steal the whole news cycle.

He was trying to negotiate with his team to get him there when it would dominate primetime, so Wednesday would interfere with the "debate" and Friday is news dump night. Maximum disruption would be Wednesday, but he's already disrupting with Cucker at that time. He's stupid enough to tape his show with Cucker and then suck the oxygen from him. One thing I know, I ain't watching.

This may be his last chance to insult and rant about everybody in Georgia who is being mean to him. As well as declaring his imminent exoneration.

Not anymore, that 20,000 bail payment means he has to STFU, but we all know he can't. Hope he earns himself pretrial detention.

I hope you do liveblog it because your posts will be much more informative than anything these bozos say.

Some context for the debate:

MKE will be experiencing what is likely to be the hottest day of the year on Wednesday, 110 heat index, 75% dew point.

There is going to be some ugly attitudes due to the weather.

Most of the debaters are already brain-dead so the heat will only make them smell funny.

Please let it turn into a total Jerry Springer slap-fest.

It's really the best way to memorialize such a great man. RIP Jerry (1944 - 2023)

Eight losers, none of whom will ever be president.

What’s the point in watching this debate? They’re all just cannibalizing each other, fighting over the scrapes among the 40-50% of republican voters that are at least willing to consider not Trump.

Does Pence really think he can persuade the people who wanted to kill him? He doesn’t even a chance at being nominated secretary of the Department of Kissing Trump’s ass

Ramaswamy? I don’t know if America is ready for a vegan Hindu president, but the GOP sure as hell isn’t.

Christie? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haley? Does she even know why she’s running?

Actually, there can be a useful thing from this:

Pence has specifically said that abortion should not be a state-by-state issue. If he throws down the gauntlet on a national ban the rest will have to pick it up or try to dance on the edge of it.

It never hurts to have voters reminded that this remains a present danger.

as in, "Remind me again why I can't stand you assholes."

De Satan really typifies today's Republican Party; he is so awful, so repellant, that the more he campaigns, the lower his polling. To know him is to loath him.

Expand full comment

Absolutely.

There is a saying that Trump is what a stupid person thinks is smart and what a weak person thinks is strong. They revere him.

DeStalin does what they would do if they were able. He is the revenge they would levy on people better than them.

to be fair, they deserve Larry Elder

Yup. Cali had to put up with his bullshit last year, so everyone else gets to take a turn now.

Just got the first image of what Trump's first day in prison will be like, right here:

Will they scrape off his makeup before they do the mug shot?

What a fucking clown show. Just a total slate of unserious losers.

Worse than 2014. No head clown. Just a blur of nobodies. This will be a punishment assignment in high school classes around 2050. "List the Republicans at the first 2023 debate. From internal memory only."
