US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

[mikal]

Rueben will be a good senator.

Too bad there’s no chance of getting a win in West Virginia.

But in other news….

Dems in disarray

NYT: And here is why that could be bad news for Biden.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I like this, some good ideas about how Biden should present himself and how he should be presented. It's really not complicated

And women in NC will vote for him cause the R next to his name.

Then there’ll be nightly broadcasts, written stories, blogs, etc about we didn’t KNOW he was actually serious!!!!!!!??!

I'm not sure what nightly broadcasts every is watching but the non Fox nightly broadcasts shit on that guy pretty much every day for his views.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

That Robinson guy is frightening, it just gets worse and worse with idiots voting for these people.

That he said that at an event hosted by… *checks notes* the Republic Women of Pitt County is… uh, something.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Marge is wearing a red MAGA hat to the State Of The Union, and she was just yelling at Biden. She's a real class act

 

[BEAL]

Not surprising for these two. Consumed by their hatred they can’t even support innocent people in any circumstance

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

And the Speaker and who knows how many Republicans wouldn't applaud when Biden talked about the lives of innocent Palestinians.

Both of these things are pathetic.

lol

I loved Katie Britt in The Blind Side.

 

[BEAL]

Think this was my favorite Joe moment of the night

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Has any man ever done the SOTU response from a kitchen? I couldn't even watch that, Stepford wife vibes.

Guess that's where women belong-after all we have one Republican saying we should go back to when women couldn't vote, we have the Supreme Court and the GOP taking away our autonomy over our bodies and our health.

Happy International Women's Day!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

How will SNL do this when it's already such a parody?

Lifetime movie actress meets sorority recruitment video meets community theater audition.

I guess she's a gun fan too, but of course she is.

It was so so bad. The GOP really has no one in its party that can rise above horrible acting, bad faith arguments, and grifting to the MAGA base.

She’s probably not this overly dramatic but this is how they must act to keep that 30-40% Trumpist Racist Ignorant base on their side.

The choices for GOP are to retire cause they can’t deal with it or want the death threats that come with going against Orange leader, or they kiss the ring



Either way an entire party has been destroyed and taken over by nihilistic trolls

The hardest part for rest of us is that we need to keep voting / engaging like it’s the end of the republic for decades to keep these people from burning it all down

Edit to include this update

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

lol

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i will never understand how the republican party allowed Donald Trump, a 2-bit broke hustler who couldn't make money off a casino, to completely co-opt the party.

centuries from now people will study this time at the end of the american empire.

 

[BEAL]

It would be really funny if it wasn’t also so damn scary the damage being done.

 

[mikal]

lol

Am I watching a horror movie preview?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

 

[mikal]

I don't even know that SNL can do anything to top this. If I were them, I wouldn't even touch it. It's perfect the way it is.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Julia Ioffe, Washington correspondent for Puck News, said: “Imagine you’re sleeping over at a friend’s house and you get up in the middle of the night to pee and you hear a weird sound so you follow it to the kitchen, where your friend’s mom is drunk, crying, and rambling about the national debt. Those are the vibes from Katie Britt right now.”


Her husband played four seasons for the New England Patriots.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

By the way Marge was told by the Sergeant at Arms to take off her MAGA hat. It's a violation of the Hatch Act.

I bet she never did.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

And as for Biden's speech we need more of that from Joe Biden. Full on Dark Brandon and calling them all out on their bs.

 

[BEAL]

Thing is about the Britt family home….its a mansion.

Someone guessed her fridge based on the base value of a sub zero fridge and matching cabinets etc to be around $10,000

Everything about it was so fake. The America’s Mom, the ASMR voice, and she flat out lied about the sexual assault victim story (taking place in America AND during Biden….it happened in Mexico around 2004).

But there’s never any consequences anymore for the GOP. If this were a Dem, they’d probably resign.

[BEAL]

Haha
