The party IS fracturing. Every passing day, it gets more and more fragmented. I saw polls that had him winning 20% of a general election. That is insane. That WILL spin some folks off as independents, because that's the only chance they have. He loses, his fans DO NOT MATTER. That's the thing the donors are working on. His base becomes the same as Tupac and Elvis: useless, because neither of them can win a fucking election either. The voters are one part of it. If they show up for Trump and nothing else, the other candidates get MUCH worse and we're seeing that. If the candidate quality continues to decline, the donors and other party players (think endorsements from unions, other elected officials, etc.) stop participating. The entire electorate and the electoral process is degrading all because of one grumpy old dick bag who can't admit he lost a popularity contest. He will die, and the Trump movement will have a bunch of folks try and succeed him. He will not be usurped, I agree. There is noone behind him that can do what he does, somehow. He loses, the GOP fractures into pieces. We're seeing this now, because each new poll is showing him losing handily, and again...logically, he hasn't done shit to become more electable since 2020. He dies, they double down. He loses, the insanity simply stops getting the attention, because the people who vote for the MTG's and Matt Gaetz' of the world stop being enough to win an election.
Trump is complaining that Fox is using unflattering photos of his neck. You could say he's... jowling with rage.
So Trump just released a video asking the other Republican candidates to drop out of the race. Really. (Unless this is a deepfake.) https://twitter.com/i/status/1692237256784752895 I, for one, hope this is real, and that Rhonda, Race Bannon, Apu, and the rest drop out with promises of cabinet positions (like all the Dem candidates did in 2020), and he gets fucking creamed by all the Dem/ "undecided"/ Independent voters who are completely sick of his bullshit. It will be even funnier the second time.
I hope he runs. I hope he wins the primary, loses again, and he and his criminal cult become a bunch of irrelevant gay-pussy laughingstocks just like the libertarians did.
As much as DeSantis told The Mouse™ that he's done, and moving on, they've decided to just press things by filing even more claims against him and his administration. As much as I fucking hate MouseCorp™ and the like, I really, really hope they just go after DeSantis full steamboat willy, until he's just a grease spot left on the road. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/18/disney-seeks-damages-from-desantis-board-for-contract-breach.html
I envision that animation's soundtrack as the legal team's entry music. (I've got a day off today for a long weekend and may have been enjoying a frosty beverage after running errands all morning).
Yup, you can’t let these fuckos even breathe. These time, you keep shooting J.R. until he goes down and STAYS down.
Giuliani has been arrested. Please fit his cell with pre-knotted sheets and a sturdy overhead pipe, plus every sharp object known to mankind. Maybe your country will get lucky and he’ll just kill himself right away, or get perhaps get shivved to death worse that Whitey Bulger times ten. Whatever be the case, his entire “legacy” being turned into shit chowder is the greatest thing any decent person in America could ask for. It is a great day knowing that sycophant cum rag is being undone by the same bullshit he helped drum into law. Fuck that piece of worthless shit and anybody who supports him eternally, period.
Booking photos released for Giuliani, Powell, Ellis, Eastman, Cheesebro, Latham, and Smith. Ellis is the only one who took the lesson of Tom DeLay to heart; the rest look like straight goons.
Can somebody please explain to me WHERE IN THE ACTUAL FUCK I can watch the GOP debate without it being some goddam pre/post game commentary, or some unemployed hipster talking over it? I went to FOX FUCKING NEWS, and all I can find are clips, with their shithead "news" anchors giving their input.
