Imagine having less integrity and spine than... Chris Christie and Mike Pence. The bar's in the goddamn cellar and they still fall over it.

I think you mean "still slither under it", but your point stands.

It was funny watching Laura Ingraham last night, at least it was for the 47 seconds I was able to stomach her horrific visage. But her crying and whining was music to my ears. Horribly-sounding music but music nonetheless.

But they ARE investigating hunter and everything

So where the Two teir Justice? Except that if anyone else was on the hook for fucking trying to overthrow the government, we would not get to sleep in our own beds

even Iran/Contra was less of an insane clusterfuck than this.

"This only matters to MAGA cultists who will never vote for DeSantis."

If Trump strikes an Agnew deal or his LAD blows out from too many hamberders I have no doubt that they will cleave unto Pudding Ron. His track record of creating misery for those they hate is currently overshadowed by Trump musk, but it's still their pheremone of choice.

None of the other current wannabes has that delicious whiff of gleeful cruelty...

Give Mike Pence his participation trophy. "Coups are bad...m'kay?" Let it never be said that he did not do the least he could to in defense of the republic.

He's trying to play both sides - the patriotic side and the MAGAt side.

I have a relative like this, who's trying to play both sides in a scheme to steal a family member's money. Those kind of people are always seen for what they are, and are ultimately and completely abandoned by both sides.

Pence: “Joe Biden's disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States”

Reality: economy’s doing great despite Freedom caucus efforts to undermine it.

Problem: Republicans have come completely unhinged from objective reality.

"I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts."

But no reforms about cases being heard by judges appointed to the bench for life by the defendant. NO CONFLICT! NO CONFLICT! YOU ARE THE CONFLICT!

Seems to me that DC IS the home of the plaintiff in this case. So he's advocating that criminal defendants call the shots as to venue? Are his fans listening?

Expand full comment

Yes he is. But the Constitution sets the venue for federal cases in Article III.

It seems that wherever the crime was committed should be where it is charged. Until this bullshit nobody had a problem with that.

So if a black man, from say Baltimore, takes a little roadtrip to the Villages and joy rides some dumbfuck MAGATs tricked out golf cart into the nearest canal, that trial should be moved back to Charm City. Good to know.

Or a Texan who just wants to shoot up some liberal hippies on California, I can just go back to Texas and use the “they deserved it” defense.

Is "they needed killing" still a defense in TX?

That seems to be Abbott's position.

" Republicans seem to think we’re overly attached to Hunter Biden, when I would gladly lock him up, as well, if it meant Trump died in prison."

THIS!!!!

That's what I couldn't quite put my finger on...They somehow think that WE think that Hunter Biden is some kind of 'hero' or 'power broker' on the left... I mean I truly feel for the heartbreak of his relationship with his dad but that idea that Hunter is someone the left is rallying 'round is just so weird...

So when are investigations into Trump kid activities going to start????

I know…and the real irony is that Orange Poop would throw ALL of his children in jail if that would get him off the hook of all his crimes.

What else do they have? Joe is pretty much squeaky clean, so was Obama. I guess they realize they've gotten all the good they can out of Hillary.

Thank God the Vice President's first name is difficult to properly pronounce.

Sounds about right...They hardly ever bring Obama or HRC up anymore

So many profiles in courage today, I'm gonna need an IKEA bookshelf to store them. Perhaps the Krükatig or the Sältfritt.

Which one of those means "failure files?"

"Joe Biden's disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States"

All those poor people who are now un-unemployed and working all those jobs. It's a shame.

That and inflation keeps going down, down, down the drain.

I wasn't aware Biden had ordered the DOJ to unleash the Kraken on people like Nikki, Asa, or Rhonda. Although there is a very valid reason to check into some campaign finance shenanigans by DeSantis and his kidnapping of migrants in Texas and flying them to Massachusetts under false pretenses. For some reason the only potential Republican candidate for president in 2024 being investigated and indicted is the one inciting an insurrection and illegally trying to hold on to power. Something no other president in our history has done. Along with many other corrupt actions that no one in the DOJ seems interested in pursuing, like the obstruction noted in the Mueller report or the possible financial crimes reported by Italy to John Durham. If anything, Trump is getting off lightly.

Imma go out on a limb here and say Chris Christie will eventually beat DeSantis in the polls. He won’t beat Assmouth, who likely has the GOP nom sewed up, but I feel like he’s got enough stones and brains to eventually force DeSantis out of his “Second Place Loser” position. He’s still loathsome, but in a “Yeah he’s a dick, but he’s a dick who isn’t Assmouth” sort of way, which will appeal to a small but not-insignificant number of Repugs. Luckily it won’t go beyond that, as Assmouth will win the primaries, then get humiliated (AGAIN) in the General.

Except he's fat and America is tremendously fat-phobic. For that reason and the Obama Hug after Sandy, he doesn't stand a chance.

'I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts.

So nothing shoujd ever be heard by SCOTUS ever again? Ron DuhSantis, that ivy-league education was wasted on you.

Even measuring from the balls, you'd get a negative number from supplicant Mike Dense.

PSA: The only thing a poll measures, 16 months before the election, is name recognition. Given that GOP voters pay even less attention to politics than average voters, it's obvious why Trump is ahead. An interesting poll would be to ask voters if they know who DeSantis is and what his current job is.
