post-2022 - deplorables in disarray thread

Trump super fans are impossible to argue with because they don’t actually believe in logic

Saving the full article for post-work hours. But damn, read the first part and that writer nails it. Thanks for posting.

I’m sure logic is why some Proud Boy J6 patriot went out drinking on St.Patty’s day, crashed his Tesla and was killed due to the lack of seat belt wearing.

Ok, now they're really in disarray: https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/sources-florida-sen-marco-rubio-mentioned-as-possible-trump-running-mate/

Rubio would help with NV and AZ

absolutely shameful.  there was no money involved here, it's just recognizing what has been proven... those 9 must be on the kremlin payroll.

It just astonishes me that people will continue to vote for fuckwits who want to cut their Social Security, which is our money not some handout… but you know trans people, etc etc

Gotta love it another Republican House is going to resign early, even further reducing their majority

Oh and crazy lady from GA files motion to vacate Mike Johnson as speaker

It’s going to a real shit show until the end of this term

[sweetcell]

MTG filing a motion to vacate is at the behest of trump/putin.  by removing the speaker, the GOP will go need to spend days or weeks finding a new speaker, until then any aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will continue to go nowhere. 

fantasy-land: the Dem recruit 4 or more non-MAGA Repubs and elect a speaker of their choosing (i suspect it would need to be a Repub, despite the majority of the votes coming from Dems), one that will among other things bring the Senate's foreign assistance bill up for a vote.


Edit  or they strike a deal with Johnson - you keep your speakership with our support in exchange for bringing up the aid bill immediately

Man the courts just go out of their way to help Trump….

Fair warning to the JA, get out the smelling salts and make sure the fainting couch is close by

Saw this on BlueSky it’s a heck of a metric

Truth Social "lost $40 million over the past four quarters while generating a paltry $4.6 million in revenue—less than half that of an average Cheesecake Factory restaurant."

A scam for the ages

continuing my quest to post the dumbest stuff here...

"it was three buses of basketball players in town for march madness, ya EEDIOT" 

p.s. don't bother looking this one up, in terms of MAGA dumb this one was world class

[Justin Tonation]

GOP official who claimed 2020 election was stolen voted illegally 9 times, judge rules

Every accusation, etc....
