Wow! Blow me down!

Here he is whining to Steve Bannon:

GA State Sen Colton Moore has an update after he demanded that Gov Kemp remove DA Fani Willis: “The knives are out. They have cut me out of the Republican caucus. The most MAGA, hardest-fighting Senator. It’s absolutely unbelievable.

McCarthy, definitely.

After McCarthy initially handed his balls over to the MAGA extremists like Gaetz, I thought McCarthy's days were numbered drastically too. But, with no known replacement, I've become less and less convinced that Gaetz is going to be able to force McCarthy out. Of course, that would require Kevin to recruit some democrats to save him, and while I'm sure he'd rather not and democrats have little interest in bailing him out, as bad as an alternative as it is and as much as it will be hard for Kevin to accomplish with Trump's balls in his mouth at the same time, what's the alternative? Or, should that be, "who's" the alternative?

You want money for the border Kevin?

How do you feel about supporting Ukraine and the child tax credit?

At least Sara Huckabee Sanders is restoring dignity to the party by embezzling only $20,000 or so, that we know of so far.

It's AR, that's filthy rich in AR.

Et tu John Kelly?

“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.

“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”

I assume he means Emperor God trumpty dumpty help us.

"Don't negotiate with terrorists" used to be an R standby.

(By the way, we should not lose sight of this being another in a long line of historical examples that appeasement doesn't really work.)

I think the hard 1/3 of the country that still supports this shitshow needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves some very difficult questions about what animates that support. Because I come back to a single answer, which is at least understandable, if less-than-noble.

And - like all of us, I presume - I have close friends and close family in that 1/3.

I think cult/rube believer status and self reflection have been demonstrated to be mutually exclusive.

They see most self owns as owning the libs.

I expect the in-house cult members to make that clear shortly.

That's all well and good - and, if true, supports the (very supportable!) argument that the only REAL way forward here is for the GOP to melt down to the atomic level.
