Megyn Kelly wants the nation to pursue "other solutions" to gun violence. Seriously, like what? ANYTHING proposed by those dirty liberals is a non-starter. I'm beginning to have a slight suspicion that she's not acting in good faith.
On the GOP's failing politics of retribution, we had a new entry yesterday. Bob Iger gave an interview about DeSantis's war on Disney by making a thinly-veiled threat to withhold or withdraw Disney's proposed $17B investment in new development and the creation of 13K jobs.
The "Another view from the Thunderdrome" captures the slight sliver lining of this Trumpian Festival of Flying Monkey B.S. - putting Trump on stage, and having him spout his inane fascist grievances, reminds Red Dog Democrats, Trump-Biden voters, and every other person who doesn't wear their bed sheets outside of why Trump can never be elected to the Presidency again.
Tubberville is so dumb I hesitate to compare him to a bag of hammers because its an insult to both bags and hammers. I'd have thought, given he was a college football coach, he'd be fairly comfortable with non-whites. When he was running I assumed, whatever his faults, he wasn't a racist. Guess I was wrong! I can't imagine what his former players think (or maybe they knew all along).
The gun manufacturers don't need the NRA lobbying for them. They have the governor of Texas doing it for free. Or maybe not for free; who's to say?
Tuberville is a great choice. His white nationalist comments were particularly vile coming from a former college football coach at a major division one school who went into black families' homes to recruit their sons, and who had rosters year after year full of black players. Has he been this racist this whole time? And has anyone asked potential Republican Presidential candidate Tim Scott what he thinks about his Republican colleague's comments?
Meanwhile, Tuberville blames the Biden administration for military unreadiness while he has stalled almost 200 promotions. Not that Tuberville's smart enough to do this, but Republicans love to shit on the rug and tell everyone "Look what the Democrats did to the rug!"
As a former football coach I liked Turbeville when he was an assistant coach at Miami and pulled for him when he was a head coach. Now I wonder if he is just a con man, because he couldn't possibly be able to recruit Black athletes to play for him now. He has gone off the deep end. Would he act like this if hae had a daughter get treated like this woman. Would he still be in line with Alabama anti-abortion stance if his granddaughter at 11 or 12 was raped and got pregnant? He like others in the cult will protect Trump at any means.
George Santos really triggers me. I think it’s because he’s a composite of every smug, fraudulent, impenetrable narcissist I’ve encountered in life, but on steroids.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville defined “white nationalist” as a Trump Republican after being asked to clarify his comments defending white nationalists in the military.
“I look at a white nationalists as a Trump Republican,” Alabama’s senior senator told NBC News reporter Julie Tsirkin, according to a transcript Tsirkin posted of their interview Thursday on Twitter.
Deplorable is such an amazingly accurate (dare I say beautiful) word. I am glad you use it. It is the lietmotif threading its way through large swaths of people who have risen to the level of their incompetency and do not have self-awareness enough to see it.
Licht says "While we all may have been uncomfortable hearing people clapping, that was also an important part of the story...." Today we learn from Tara Palmieri in Puck that the live audience was told it could clap but not boo. The disgust and disapproval of audience members – presumably a big part of the "story" – was tamped down and hidden from viewers by bootlichter (sorry!) CNN.
He may be ineligible for the weekly Deplorables award, but Donald J. Trump remains in the running for the ceremonial title of Dumbass of the Week. (That, too, is highly competitive, and not limited to politics.)
Perhaps the one good thing that came out of the CNN-Trump Town Hall is that, yet again, his uncontrollable mouth has the prospect of causing him accountability that he otherwise seldom seems to incur. If he wants to troll E. Jean Carroll and enable her to make him her personal ATM, she might as well take advantage of it. And all the better if he gives lawyers and prosecutors in Georgia, and possibly elsewhere, still more ammunition to use against him in court as they make their case for jail time for him.
The best piece of advice I could give Trump is also the one that he is least likely ever to take. In three words ... Just. Stop. Talking. Or, as Plato better expressed it: “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.”
I have to say that Tommy’s win this week is probably most painful to Marsha Blackburn. She thought she had a lock on the title of Stupidest Senator for the foreseeable future, and she lost the belt after only two years. Sad!
"But there were also people that sat there quietly disgusted or bewildered. In a TV setting, you hear the applause, but you don’t see the disgust. So Trump did not have the entire room on his side, make no mistake, even if it certainly came across that way on TV."
Be that as it may, I would be willing to bet money that every single one of those "disgusted or bewildered" people would absolutely cast their vote for t**** if he were the nominee. So tell me what exactly is the difference
A. Where did Matt Walsh play his college football or win his Gold Gloves or what branch of the military did he serve in? All these macho conservatives somehow seem to avoid ever doing stereotypically manly things
B. Graham has always veen a slimy sycophantic fraud
C. How does Kelly still have a mic when she got seriously angry over Black Santas?
I know ppl want to be kind to poor Kaitlin Collins for having been trapped in a cage with a wild boar but to me she agreed to be the lipstick on this obvious pig. Not a career highlight

Kyle Rittenhouse Jury - fantastic! E. Jean Carroll Jury - A Joke! Very logical......

Points for honesty to Tommy Dumberville, tho.

I know this isn't a Philadelphia Flyers blog, but Matt Walsh wouldn't make it past one check by Moose DuPont.
