Scum, MAGA's Scariest Creatures, And Cancun Ted's New Book

 

Jimmy Kimmel discusses the Republican "debates," the Malignant Loser's counter- rally (with completely addled Roseanne Barr), and a special reading from Sen. "Cancun Ted" Cruz's "boring" new book.

Republicans In Disarray: We're In Agreement!

 

We didn't watch the Christofascist Republican shitshow last night -- precious time we could never have gotten back.  However, in reading some of the post- shitshow analysis, we find ourselves agreeing with some of the comments made by the various also- rans on the stage.  It was sweet Republican- on- Republican verbal violence.  A few favorites:

Bootsie DeSantis on the Malignant Loser's record

“He should be on this stage tonight. He owes it to you to defend his record where they added 7.8 trillion to the debt that set the stage for the inflation that we have.”

Nikki Haley on Vivek "Ramasmarmy" Ramaswamy

"Honestly, every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say.” *

Chris Christie on the no- show Malignant Loser

“You’re ducking these things. And let me tell you what’s going to happen. [If] you keep doing that, no one up here is going to call you Donald Trump anymore, we’re going to call you Donald Duck.”

More "debates" please!

* A line that could apply to everyone on the stage, actually.

QOTD -- You Accept What's Happening?

David Rothkopf has some thoughts about how the seven dwarfs on stage at tonight's Republican Presidential Debate should be questioned:

The man who is far and away the most likely candidate to represent the GOP in next year’s presidential elections has dropped all pretense of respecting American laws, values, principles, or democracy itself. He is asking to be made our Caesar. It’s not hyperbole. Accept what’s happening.

So the question before every American right now—and especially before the so-called leaders of the Republican Party—is: Do you support a president who threatens his critics with death? Do you support a president who seeks to silence freedom of speech in America? Isn’t it long past time to acknowledge the threat Donald Trump represents? To stop laughing it off or making excuses for it?

More importantly, real journalists would not only pose these questions, they would insist on real answers. They would follow up when the candidates attempted to deflect or dodge the questions. They would ask the debaters, “How many crimes does this man have to commit or threaten to commit for you to dare to criticize him?”

The questioners will be former Bush press secretary Dana Perino, imported hack Stuart Varney, and Colombian Ilia Calderon, the latter being the only one for which we would have just the slightest hope.

We won't be watching.
