NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

If you don’t think, you can’t ever be wrong. Infallible!

“I have in my hand a list of 100 members of the communist party working in the government!”

Sounds like Joe McCarthy. Mmm… I wonder if there is any person who’s a direct link between McCarthy and Trump?

Satan.

Satan needs his ass kicked.

How far did this guy think he was gonna get? And what dumbass plan did he have if he got away?

Now now, there’s no indication that this stupid idea was perpetrated by a Republican. (But that’s sure the way I’d bet.)

He believed the lies about poor election security.

Not bad:

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Vanity Fair, August 2017

In 1973, a brash young would-be developer from Queens met one of New York’s premier power brokers: Roy Cohn, whose name is still synonymous with the rise of McCarthyism and its dark political arts. At 27, Donald Trump took the ruthless attorney as his sometime guide, learning many of the tactics that would inexplicably propel him to the White House. MARIE BRENNER untangles the symbiosis that bound them until Cohn’s death from AIDS in 1986

Tailgunner McDrunkyface has defenders. I have seen instances of RWs arguing that there were communists within the US government and they have evidence of it. Of course, we know the movie industry is an arm of the government, so that was the place to start.

I’m sorry, who?

This is why I’m not a fan of all the nicknames. Not just here, all over the internet. A nickname that makes perfect sense and is beyond obvious to one person is meaningless to another.

McCarthy was a Tail Gunner in WWII and was an alcoholic.

Joseph McCarthy. He falsely claimed to be tail gunner in WWII. The term Tail Gunner Joe was used derisively, and was the title of a biopic starring Peter Boyle.

McCarthy was also known to have an alcohol problem.

Good lord, if this is what Trump is like on alertness medications, imagine how he’d be sober!

And is the Ronny Jackson who’s spending Congressional campaign funds in Texas the same Ronny Jackson who’s doping up Trump?

EDIT: To answer my own question, yes, they’re the same person.

I thought he really was one, but it looks like while technically he played in that position it was just basically on friendly games, so to speak:

Thanks

As someone that’s been on Adderall for more than half my life, my WAG is that the Trump we saw in Merchan’s courtroom is un-medicated Trump, or close to it. Not so much the falling asleep part*, but the general not paying attention, fidgeting, flipping through papers, doodling etc. I think if he was loaded up on amphetamines during court, the pictures we’d see would show him scowling to the point of being disruptive, constantly trying to interrupt, making comments under his breath etc. More than he was anyway.

*I’ll bet he has sleep apnea that’s contributing to that. Also, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if his lawyers preferred him dozing off instead of micromanaging everything.

The True Believers have decided Trump isn’t MAGA enough for them and are plotting to throw the convention into chaos.

AKA Dr. Ronny Johnson, according to cognitive test Acer Donald Trump.

This is great - I love it! How do we enhance this infighting? Maybe suggest one group of MAGA fruitcakes is planning to “rig” the nomination. The Democrats have been successful in getting Republicans to nominate crazy and weak candidates around the country that end up getting trounced - how to keep these “factions” fighting with one another?

Mike Flynn. Jesus Christ. I’d actually vote for Trump before voting for HIM.

As annoying as I find maple trees (genus acer), I have to report that they object to having any association with Agent Orange.
