Stupid Republican idea of the day

And maybe some projection as well given the Republican’s actions in Congress over the last 8 years.

Did he give us any hints as to how he was going to know who voted for Clinton? The good news would be that he doesn’t actually know, and can’t. That bad news…the really bad news!..would be if he does know.

ding ding ding - winner!

Maybe Comey gave him a list.

The federal workforce is something like 20% black. Negroes, who work for the hated gubmint? They aren’t Newt Gingrich voters, that’s for sure. So he’ll purge the blacks, because they would vote against him, and it’s “political” and not “racist.” But people don’t vote for Newt Gingrich because he’d fire them for doing their jobs, and also he’s apparently some kind of a political racist.

So really, it’s “I’m going to fire them because they’d oppose me getting into a position to fire them, and they’re right because I would fire them anyway.” But the real primary reason?

Maybe because Newt’s white tax dollars paying a black lady’s civil servant salary sticks in his Neo-Confederate craw.

Or maybe because he’s a dangerous nut who wants to wreck the government and undo the New Deal for weird corrupt reasons.

Or maybe he just really believes in a radical version of state “efficiency.” He was a northern Republican originally.

But it could be all of the above. Political racism, and even an endorsement of genocide, keeps popping up in the GOP, going back to the deliberate genocide in the Indian Wars, through the pro-Nazi America First bunch in the 1930’s, through more recent eliminationists.

And even many Trump voters who consider themselves “not* that* racist” are aware of the stereotype and what they are voting for. Trump is embraced because he superficially fits an idealized idea of kyriarchy: The man in charge, the patriarch, his blonde family living the American Dream.

But then we get stuck with his nasty little crook friends, like Newt.

Shouldn’t Newt be dead by now?

And could he take Kissinger with him down to Hell?

The diabolic is strong in the USA, and it keeps its avatars alive a long time?

Kissinger frightens Satan, he won’t let him in.

Satan is busy constructing another circle for these guys.

With a wall. Big, thick, beautiful wall.

Paid for in Limbo.

Trump inaugural cake honoring the armed forces metaphor for coming administration’s military plans. With its design copied from previous administration with the exception that while the original was real, Trump’s version was mostly Styrofoam.

I refuse to believe it. This is too heavy-handed symbolism to exist in real life. :slight_smile:

Kellyanne Conway: Swallow our bullshit if you want access.

When she was told her “alternative facts” were actually falsehoods, she said to Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, “If we’re going to keep referring to the press secretary in those types of terms I think we’re going to have to rethink our relationship here.”

She should be treated with alternative courtesy.

The best part is the company that made the knockoff not only acknowledged Goldman, but donated their fee to the Human Rights Campaign.

I like the phrase “alternative facts”! Nothing is ever a lie, ever again! No one ever has to admit they don’t know what they’re talking about, ever again! This is gonna totally fucking rock!

From the resulting Twitter hashtag:

Alternative right, alternative facts = good

Alternative energy, alternative lifestyle = take their coats
