I think his appointment of Smith was right on the money, and don’t want him to fuck it up. I have no other opinion of him other than that I think he talks funny. ---

That wasn’t a request to speak with Garland. It was a standard tactic to keep PAB on the front page with a dose of “the latest big lie” thrown in. The letter was to the media and PAB’s cult. It had no legitimacy. ---

It seems like Trump always squirms free at the end because somebody else fucked it up. (Comey and his ridiculous Hillary announcement.) So far this deal seems to be going along slowly, but in the right direction. We don’t need NOBODY fucking it up in any way. It ain’t currently broken, don’t fuck with it. At all. ---

Now that DeSantis has announced, trump has pissed me off by not welcoming him to the fray, with a may-the-best-man-win good sport handshake. Oh, dang, that’s right! The best man hasn’t shown up, yet! Nevermind. Dan ---

I don’t know, of the candidates declared so far Nikki Halley is by far the least loathsome. ---

By Republican standards, maybe? Here she is being quite loathsome. The video is almost 18 minutes long, about a single loathsome thing she said. But it also goes on to describe why her loathsome pandering is not a way to win a general election. (Short summary: Trans people are liars who contribute to young girls across the land contemplating suicide.)[Room Goes Silent As Nikki Haley Flexes Anti-Trans Hate On Campaign Stop - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymykCwXZLgQ) ---

Speaking for me, I’ve always found Republican policies repugnant. In these modern days, they don’t even have policies. Unless you consider tearing down the country and rebuilding it into a "Christian, Nationalist, Fascist, mess, that’s all "freedom-y, and you know … white. I don’t know much about this guy yet, but he is a modern Republican. As I stated above their policies have always been repugnant. In this age, however, just being a Republican politician makes me highly suspicious that you are probably loathsome. The jury is out for me so far, but my money says **probably** loathsome. I also side eye black Republicans. Why join a party that loves white supremacists? Makes me go hummm. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I always wonder about this, too. Because they’ve done a phenomenal job of maintaining the compartmentalization of their constituents. There are a number of single-issue voting blocs in the GOP who genuinely do not give a shit about the rest of the platform so long as they’re voting against abortion, or for corporate tax breaks, or against uppity women, or for the erosion of various components of the 1st amendment, or against the erosion of the 2nd amendment, and so on and on. ---
