  • They have been doing it for decades. I’m fairly certain Newt got them to do it as part of his intentional strategy to divide Washington (then, in lockstep, all these fuckers started talking about how “divisive” Obama is, imagine that) with his GOPAC training.

    But it predates even that by decades.

    It annoys me because every time I hear some brat of a Republican in a high position use it, they sound exactly like that stupid kid that knew that “ain’t” is not a word, but they’d say it anyway to annoy teachers (or anyone that knows the English language, really). Or when you hear someone who has probably been corrected a thousand times on words like “supposedly” still say “supposably”.

    It just sounds like a defiant jackass demonstrating the Peter principle.

    I wish to Zeus that reporters would make a pact to ALL start asking Republicans that do this simple questions such as: “You don’t know the proper name of the DemocratIC Party?” or “Surely you know the name is the DemocratIC Party? Why don’t you say the right name?” or “Do realize how childish your entire party comes off when you cannot even say ‘the DemocratIC Party’?”

    Really just shame these motherfuckers. At every chance when they do this. I wish Democratic Senators and Reps would do it on the floor, too. Same with guests on outlets like Faux, because Faux does it, too.

    It’s not a huge thing, but the complete childishness of the Republicans ALL doing it nearly uniformly should be pointed out as the childish and juvenile bullshit that it is.



  • Yep.

    The same people all butt mad about people kneeling while a song played and a piece of cloth was displayed AT A GAME (not sure why all that performative “patriotism” is included in a game, but here we are, I guess) are now studiously ignoring Donvict stalking right past a flag lying on the ground at the WH…or in a “special container” according to the Confederate apparatchiks at the WH, but either way, it violates the flag code, which these people pretend to give so many fucks about.

    Until it turns out in a plot twist, no, they don’t really give a fuck about the flag code at all, they are furious about others protesting black people being murdered by cop and pretend they aren’t really mad about that…“don’t bring politics into my sportsball that already has performative “patriotic” rituals inserted into it for some reason”.


  • The other comparison the Professional Left podcast makes - and it’s more apt than ever for the Confederates - is the notion of the Nazis burning their uniforms as they fled the battlefield and lost the war.

    These people are going to construct alt versions of the Republican Party, call it something else, most likely, but still run Republican Party candidates. Terms like “maga” and “America first” and “teabagger/tea party” are of course meaningless terms that can be made to stand for virtually anything.


  • Maga is a personality cult centered around an 80 year old man with obvious health issues.

    Part of me really does wonder what all these asshole cult members and/or those vying to build their own little cult after he’s gone will do if he were to die in the WH while that stupid ballroom is still nothing but an AI-generated set of plans. What are they going to do with really egregiously out-of-touch and stupid things like Donvict’s ballroom?

    They seem to have zero platform, really. It’s just trying to own the libs, enrich Donvict, strip the country for parts, enshrine corporatism and coddle the already ridiculously rich.


  • I’ve been saying for a while that a few years after Trump dies, you won’t be able to find anyone who claims to have supported him and I think potentially this is the beginning of that.

    As the Professional Left keeps saying - “burn the lifeboats” - they just had an episode talking about how Marge seems to be the very first who is constructing that lifeboat. Just like all these fuckers did after W’s fantastic flameout.

    Looks like Fuentes is also doing it, too - although it’s the darker path as compared to the made-up teabagger (their original name)/ “tea party” movement, and it involves “graduating” from “maga” to “America first” and he has hats to sell everyone, just like Donvict did…




  • Came here to say this, and I’m not on the dating scene at all, but you see it in just so many other contexts. It became so ridiculous even decades ago, reaching ludicrous speed under donnie. The Professional Left podcast, at least, constantly mocks the notion.

    When someone says they are an “independent”, I think very few are genuine. I think many of them are just conservatives that are lying, some are possibly Libertarian who are also just lying, some may be very low-info, but thinks this makes them sound S-M-R-T, and then the very last group may possibly be actually independents.



  • LOL, Laura Loomer:

    1. Says it’s not about Israel
    2. <Proceeds to talk a lot about Israel>

    I’m thinking she is only saying this now because even if she saw all the Nazi shit before ( and seriously, how could you not?) she was willing to overlook all that as long as the GOP was sufficiently loyal to the very worst shit that Israel was up to. Now that there are a few cracks in that front, she’s now worried about all the obvious rampant Nazi shit in her party.
