Graham famously understands/has understood Republican demographics for quite a while:

> We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.

–Republican Senator Lindsey Graham

**[Source](https://washingtonmonthly.com/2016/03/04/were-not-generating-enough-angry-white-guys/)**

And, yeah: where they’ve chosen to mine for new voters next is really just horrifying.

Ever since I heard someone call Josh Hawley “Kid Hitler,” I’ve been so impressed by the rightness of the nickname that I can’t stop thinking of Josh Hawley as “Kid Hitler.”

Funny, the way the human mind works.

Four+ years ago when **DesertRoomie** first heard Mike Pence had been selected as DJT’s VP running mate we were in the car and it was kind of noisy when it came up on the radio. “What was that? White Pants?”

I’d heard it the night before so instantly corrected her, “No, Mike Pence, 'though White Pants works pretty good as well.” He’s been ever after White Pants in our heads.

Technically they’re lying to their conference. Trump (I refuse to “CFSG”. Seriously, can we can that bullshit?) had no involvement.

We will stop it when he stops being a lying cheating traitorous dick. Or if he dies.

Y’all do as you please. My only concession to his eventual demise will be changing his title to “the _late_ America-hating fuckstick.”

I prefer the more elegant ‘disgraced ex-president Trump’ and use this construction almost every time I refer to him.

I prefer the phrase ‘disgraced twice-impeached one term former President”. That way I don’t even have to mention his name,

Can we have something with even more characters?

The disgraced one-term traitorous ex-president who fought like hell to say in office and sued every state that certified an election that he didn’t win only to be laughed out of court every single time.

I will continue to use shitgibbon, if only for brevity’s sake.

Really. “Cadet Bonespurs” or “Cheeto Mussolini” are more fitting.
