Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

The fright wing is now targeting singer Taylor Swift.

Initially there was a conspiracy that the Kelce and Swift duo were a part of a nefarious scheme to prevent Trump from getting re-elected. Now Faux and its personalities have taken this conspiracy mainstream. Here are some of their on air pleadings.

“Why would someone as popular as she is alienate your fans, the Swifties?” Jeanine Pirro said on “The Five,” before addressing the singer directly. “So don’t get involved! Don’t get involved in politics! We don’t want to see you there!”

“Please don’t believe everything Taylor Swift says,” urged one commentator, Charly Arnolt. “We’re all begging you.”

And Sean Hannity, using his prime time soapbox on Tuesday evening, suggested that Democrats were leading Ms. Swift astray. “Does Taylor realize the guy that they want her to endorse is a kind of stumbling, bumbling mess?” he asked.

“Maybe,” Mr. Hannity added, “she wants to think twice before making a decision about 2024.”

This is the very same group who believe that Trump fomenting an insurrection is his First Amendment rights, yet Ms. Swift cannot say vote Biden 2024? And Pirro says "we don't want you there"? Whos is the We?

Sometimes I wish Biden had better stage presence and an edgy sense of humor like Obama. All he has to do is go on camera with a deadpan face and say that he is considering Taylor Swift as his running mate and the entire right wing will melt down. She is only 34 though and may not qualify but still, anything to rile up the goobers is OK by me. She has 290 million social media followers to 80 million (?) for Trump, so that alone should rile him up.

Sounds like a plan. She will be 35 by inauguration day.

Collins quote-tweeted D’Esposito’s post on his congressional X, formerly Twitter, account and suggested,

“Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back.”

What thee fuck is wrong with these people?

During the rally, he rambled nonsense that if he wasn't elected the entire American auto industry was going to move to China.

The 91-year-old Republican suing to kick Donald Trump off the ballot
Norma Anderson, a trailblazing former GOP legislator, is among the Colorado voters who have challenged the Republican front-runner’s candidacy in a case that will be heard by the Supreme Court

Anderson, 91, is the unlikely face of a challenge to Trump’s campaign that will be heard by the Supreme Court on Thursday. She was a force in Colorado politics for decades, serving as the first female majority leader in both chambers of the legislature. She is a Republican but has long been skeptical of Trump and believes he is an insurrectionist who crossed a verboten line on Jan. 6, 2021, that should bar him from holding office again.

Not all Repubes are batshit crazy.

A glaring example of a Senate leader putting party before country, but not surprising since he blocked Obama's nominee to the SCOTUS while helping elect an extreme Scotus for the TFG. And this is a guy who does not like nor talk to the Moron.

From a column today:

The G.O.P. Bumper Sticker: Trump First. Putin Second. America Third.

“The United States has for some time ceased to be a serious country. Our extreme polarization combined with institutional rules that privilege minorities makes it impossible for us to meet our international obligations,” the political theorist Francis Fukuyama remarked on the American Purpose website. “The Republican Party has grown very adept at hostage holding. … The hard-core MAGA wing represents a minority within a minority, yet our institutional rules permit them to veto decisions clearly favored by a majority of Americans.”
