“I may be a serial sexual harasser who paid $50 million to cover up my crimes, but I’m no woke hypocrite!”
That’s outstanding. Onion nails it, again.
Honestly, I don’t know why anyone listens to that arrogant, vacuous taint sniffer. The sight of him makes my skin crawl.
I’d almost respect Bill O’Reilly if he’d said that. (Almost.)
The problem with his ridiculous statement (pasted a few posts up by Steve_MB) is that he is clearly posturing as Mr. Righteousness. He’s not even remotely admitting that he’s been accused of conduct not dissimilar to that Cuomo has been dinged with.
He’s saying ‘harassment and sexual assault happens only on the Left, and We never do any of that sort of thing!’ And many on his side will accept that absurd claim.
This right-wing seizure of “woke” as the new demonization adjective-of-choice is, of course, steeped in the deepest of projection and hypocrisy—as always with the right.
They just don’t seem capable of thinking up valid criticisms of the left. They’re forced to wait until the left criticizes them, then deploy their trademark “Rubber/Glue” tactic, clunky as it is.
Look, if we drop every GOP candidate who is an arrogant, vacuous taint sniffer who makes people’s skin crawl, we’ll lose half the party!
I mean, seriously - Ted Cruz is one of their Elder Statemen, now. This problem runs deep.
And that is all they fucking have.
Nothing more.
Useless.
Many of them probably don’t remember why he’s not on Fox anymore… so, yeah.
Once enough Florid people die (if they’re mostly Republicans), DeSantis might not have enough votes left.
I saw a headline somewhere today (at RawStory maybe?) mentioning that Covid-19 has now killed more Florids than the number by which DeSantis won his election. Hmmm…
ETA:
Abbott forgot to mention… When all y’all out-of-state doctors come a-stampeding into Texas to help pull our asses from the fire, bring your hospitals with you!
Tommy Tuberville attempted to troll the Senate Democrats by adding a non-binding amendment to the infrastructure bill that would punish localities for defunding police.
It passed 99-0.
You make that sound like a bad thing!
I’ll give those guys a little bit of credit for walking the walk - they railed against the vaccine and didn’t get it.
Compare and contrast with Fucker Carlson, who coyly won’t say, but you know he knocked people over getting to the front of the line.
I think this is the biggest problem with guys like Potatotown, here. Far too many of these idiots seem to actually believe their own bullshit. I mean, did he really think this would be the ultimate “Gotcha!”? Did he really think any significant number of Dem Senators would fall for such an obvious ploy, even if they did think defunding the police was a good idea? Did he really think that?
Well, apparently so, because he actually tried to pull this stupid stunt.
Well, he did think Nazis were socialists and communists.
And for this dipshit, Alabama traded in Doug Jones.
But hey, you can call him Coach.
Of course they were socialists, it’s right in the name!
But don’t besmirch “nationalism” because of them. You can’t take that part of the name so seriously!
“The Nazis were socialists” has become just a regular old Republican talking point, it’s the sort of stupid thing you can say without actually believing. But his whole “Defund the Police” vote? That was an actual action, that he should have known would blow up in his face, and yet, he did it anyways. Which means he didn’t know it would blow up in his face.
That just goes so far beyond a stupid talking point.
Speaking of whom, he’s been suspended from YouTube for posting lies about vaccinations.
It would be nice to put a name in there - there are so many candidates, and I had to click back twice (twice!) to find out that this particular stupid Republican is Rand Paul.
