Gingrich is like a food product that’s pretty gross to begin with, like pickle loaf, that’s long past its shelf life and turning green. Now we are getting to the stage with Gingrich where he’s old, cantankerous and bitter, and he was a terrible person to begin with. We all know how much he enjoyed having affairs (proving there really are people out there for everyone) while his wife was dying of cancer. He’s judging Joe Biden and using Trump as his counterpoint? You’ve already lost the argument.

Joe just gave a pretty lengthy State of the Union address and scarcely had a stumble or a misspeak, and even caused Republicans to clutch their pearls because of how feisty he was. But Newty thinks Joe is “out of touch with reality.” Ok, Newt. Most of America and the world was watching Joe last week. Had he been even slightly shaky, the media would have been ALL over him. To Hur’s (minimal) credit, he did stick with his statement that what Joe did was different than what Trump did. Joe inadvertently mixed some sensitive docs in with the papers he kept. Trump took dozens of boxes of documents, clearly without any effort to separate anything. Trump stacked boxes everywhere, refused to return anything, refused to allow searches, refused to sit for an interview, then had his lawyers lie about returning all classified documents. Probably most damning, he lied about surveillance and evidently ordered his staff to destroy video evidence of the handling and moving of sensitive material. Anyone else would be screwed, facing at least a few years in jail and possibly being tried for treason. Oh, I so want the FBI to catch Trump selling classified docs to Russia. Sooner or later that’s got to be his final act, right?

It's ALWAYS the projection with the GQP..........they can't help themselves.......it's in their nature.

No story about Newt is complete without mentioning he resigned as speaker in disgrace because of his numerous ethics violations.

Psst! Hey, Kyle Rittenhouse. You want to know what it does to a person to devote every moment of their life scrambling to hold on to that fifteen minutes of fame for just a bit longer? Do a google search on "Newt Gingrich".

“I mean, you can argue that Trump shouldn’t have had them in Mar-a-Lago under lock and key, but at least he knew what he was doing."

I am incredibly skeptical that the proven rapist Defendant Trump ever knows what he is doing. He just does whatever he thinks will get him laid or money.

So, according to Gingrich, we know the proven rapist was acting illegally.

Can you imagine if this case went in front of a real judge?

I wish Newt would have tried to live on the Moon for a few years.

It’s not too late. The first manned Artemis mission is scheduled for later this year. I’m sure they wouldn’t have any problem dropping him as they orbit the moon.

Well......his fat ass WOULD present some payload weight problems, in so far as attaining escape velocity on launch by the Orion MPCV.......not to mention the interior dimensions of the Artemis crew module.......sooooo......there's that......

Maybe we could, I dunno...send him up in bits over several missions?

Expand full comment

Well yeah, we could......but then we would miss the shot of his frozen scream permanently etched on his fat, misshapen, face as he slowly free falls to the Lunar dust bowl.......

And why the FUCK does anyone care what this fossil has to say about anything?

The same reason we care when Uncle Bill cuts a long greasy squealer in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner.

I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

I have an unusual first name that I took a lot of shit for growing up, so ordinarily I never make fun of anyone else's.

But sometimes I think it's logical that someone saddled with a name like "Newt" would grow up pissed at the world.

He's cranky. Calista must have refastened his chastity belt.

Newt conveniently forgot he was married when he was cheating on both his previous wives.

Expand full comment

And the only reason he isn’t cheating on wife #3 is that he probably can’t get it up any more even with a bottle of Viagra and an air compressor.
