That is probably the worst Republican attempt at "spin" I've ever read. There's the usual petulant failure to use the adjective "Democratic" correctly, which as far as I'm concerned justifies dismissing anything the speaker says. Anyhow, the "Dems in disarray" claim sounds like a stupid joke at this juncture, yet there Johnson is dutifully trotting it out. The Republican top-tier ticket is pathetic: a criminal and pathological liar at the top, and a cringeworthy sycophant in the second slot. Trump must be freaking out right now: he is going to lose the election, and justice will finally come for him in 2025 as he faces the resumption of whatever is left of his criminal cases after the SCOTUS's butchery on "immunity."
Careful what you wish for there My Johnson.......You DO realize that if Biden resigns, Kamala becomes the 47th president right? Not only would that be ground breaking and glass ceiling shattering simultaneously, it would put her in a position of being commander in chief, meeting with heads of state as the 'Most powerful person in the World', writing executive orders (and breaking ANY laws she sees as 'bothersome' per Alito and the gang of six), rounding up a bunch of seditious mofo's from congress viv-a-vis J-6 and shipping their sorry asses to some black-site in East Shithole Africa........but just IMAGINE the fucking absolute havoc it would cause the Trumpelforeskin merchandise folks that have already printed those "47" t-shirts......and coffee mugs......and 'collectors' cards........I guess you could ship them off to UNICEF in Africa on the black ops flights........just spitballin' here......
"Elected Democrats around the country who are in panic mode. They don’t know what to do and they don’t have a viable plan B. And they’re running out of time. So, it’ll be interesting to see what happens."
Well, Mikey, you got your wish. Democrats will be striving mightily to make a Harris nomination happen. Sure, there's risk involved, but it's certainly an interesting and exciting story. The media is gonna love it, and the public won't be able to tear their eyes away.
And if we do unite and match on behind Kamala to November? The Misfit Mobilization Moment, when the fractious heroes come together as a team, is always everybody's favourite part of the movie.
It'll be interesting, won't it? Have fun, Mikey. The best part is just starting.
It’s not about whether or not the insurrectionists have an actual legitimate case, it’s whether they can cast doubt on the election results in the ignorant brainpans of their devotees.
I mean just look at this stooped lawsuit here in Michigan:
“ The campaign of former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have filed a lawsuit against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, alleging the state has violated the National Voter Registration Act. A complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan asserts that Whitmer lacks the authority to designate federal Small Business Administration (SBA) and Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) offices as voter registration agencies.” - https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/15/rnc-trump-campaign-sue-whitmer-benson/74413364007
That’s right, they’re against SBA and VA offices also doing voter registration. Anything to give them a reason to drum up another insurrection every time they lose an election.
I think they believe it hurts our feelings when they do that? It's also a great tell for all the "I am a lifelong liberal but I am leaving the Democrat Party because of reasons" Tweets
It's part of the phenomenon whereby stupid people exasperate and wear down intelligent people by repeating stupid things. If they do it long enough, intelligent people realize that there's no hope of enlightening the serial repeaters, so they just give up and go along. The Republicans do this not only with single words like "Democrat/ic" but also with ideas, stats, you name it. Example: most Americans think the GOP is smarter than the Democrats on economic matters. It's demonstrably false, and the only reason anyone believes otherwise is that the Republicans long ago kept repeating the lie until the press started to repeat it, and now almost everyone buys it.
They all fell in line like gelded sheep when dear leader started doing that “Democrat” party bullshit. It’s helpful in identifying MAGA at least. If a Republican says “Democratic” the way it’s been labeled since its inception then they’re still normie Republicans. Needless to say, hearing it has become vanishingly rare.
It all started in the 40s, popularized in the 80s with limbaugh, and put on steroids by tfg. Now it is almost mainstream; I even see Democrats using it.
I didn’t realize it went back that far. I haaate it so much, it’s so disrespectful, and I hate that it elicits that reaction, which is exactly what they’re going for. It’s psychological warfare.
We could of course call them "the Republic Party," but the key difference here is that we are literate, and most of them are not, so we don't like to get caught misusing an adjective.
Sure, Mikey, instead of cherry-picking years, let's look at the convicted felon's track record over the whole four years of the convicted felon's term.
From 2017 to 2020, the national debt increased by 30%, his response to the pandemic was completely botched, and there was a net loss of 2.9 million jobs. Also, a huge decline in national prestige. Let's not do that again.
That the angry god of the old testament has not yet choked Mike Johnson on a wad of purity pledges for the abject amoral hypocrisy of being an important functionary in trying to steal the 2020 election for his felonious, raping, mendacious, obscene, manifestly unfit idol, and then weeping crocodile tears for Democratic primary voters this weekend, puzzles me.
Mikey childishly uses that ancient pejorative epithet "Democrat Party". I suggest that as soon as someone uses that phrase that we should immediately stop reading or listening to that person, and just walk away.

Ta, MM. Kamala's campaign is a juggernaut.
it's like the GOP dared them to do it... so funny
So if Manchin wants to re-register as a Democrat couldn't the party just say "no takes backs" and tell him to GTFO?

Hint for Speaker Johnson: When you're concern-trolling about the other party betraying its primary voters, you should at least use its correct name.

Fair. The grammar of it alone is an offense.

I can but I am tired of it.

Or had sex in the back of the Uber.
Probably did. Trust your intuition.
For years now, the only thing Fox News could say about Kamila Harris was :
" Word Salad, Word Salad ! " They would all sit there nodding theirs heads sayin', Yup
Word Salad
This is gonna be funn.
