Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

[Boreas]

All this does is put that asshole in front of millions of viewers for an hour-long campaign appearance. I wonder what Lorne Michaels' politics are.

To be honest, I see no real difference between David Duke and Donald Trump except packaging and regional accent. NBC, SNL and (sadly) parts of MSNBC are intent upon legitimization of Trump for some reason.

Paul Ryan for speaker of the house? Bwahahahahaaaaa.


"But if the conventional wisdom is that Paul Ryan is selfless, brilliant and "the only one who can fix things" for his party, the reality is something altogether different. A quick glance back at his record reveals a self-promoting opportunist who has erected a 21st century Potemkin façade to mask his staggering intellectual dishonesty and political cowardice, a losing war against basic math, shocking condescension towards women and the poor, and a reactionary governing philosophy that would turn back the clock to the Gilded Age. And that means Paul Ryan is uniquely qualified not for GOP Speaker of the House, but Republican Turd Polisher-in-Chief.

"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused repeatedly to endorse Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as a “true conservative” on NBC News’ Meet the Press Sunday, withholding the label amid an ongoing power vacuum in the House created after Cruz’s allies chased Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) into resignation and stymied Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) campaign to replace him."

All media are publicity whores and NBC is lining up with the rest of them. Ratings for Fox from the GOP presidential debates has become addictive and now everyone wants a piece of Trump. He is happy to oblige while getting free air time. What else is new, NBC is 'in bed with the devil'?

And there you have it. That's the Republican plan. "Select Committee" after "Select Committee", day after day "investigating" every bogus scandal they can invent. It will make what they've done to Obama look like child's play.

These people don't give two shits about the country or about democracy. All they care about is power, for themselves and their billionaire masters.

I really do hate them.
