    I enjoy that pollsters are starting to poll for what happens if Trump drops and Vance is the top of the ticket, while Washington republicans are trying to figure out how to oust Janky Douche.

    At this point I wouldn’t be completely surprised if that chair that Clint Eastwood shouted at a few years ends up on the ballot.

        What’s delightful is that their whole… (waves hands frantically) thing1, takes all the most crucial tools off the table. Imagine this safety sign posted at the RNC:

        Absolutely NO:

        • compromising
        • back-tracking
        • changing your mind
        • making mistakes
        • wrong opinions


        All one can do from there is lie while doing one of those things anyway. At a certain point people are going to take notice, which just makes it worse.

        1 - Machismo? Rampant authoritarianism? Sociopathic narcissism? I can’t keep up.

          Yes.

      That was 12 years ago :(

          honestly, with the rate at which the gop has gone balls to the wall deranged it feels more like 50 years.

          think about it: the reason talking to a chair became a meme was because it was so unbelievable. the reason vance fucking a couch became a meme is because it’s so believable.

      People told me that it was impossible for the Republican party to even concieve of replacing Trump. Yeah? How’s that going now, huh? Personally, I’m looking forward to Trump ripping the party in half.

        That’s the problem when you have a bunch of narcissistic opportunities vying for power. Eventually, they start trying to push each other down the stairs…

        That’s where you’re wrong. The chair would actually have fewer felony convictions and rapes. Allegedly. I don’t know that chair personally. But the point is that “fewer” is the grammatically correct word for the point you’re making.
