“Liberals are going to kill Christian leaders!” wibbles televangelist, real estate huckster and convicted felon Jim Bakker.
Classic case of projection, I’d say.
James Allsup is a white supremacist infecting my region of the world. He recently got himself a low-level precinct position in the Republican party. There was a short outburst of “get him out.” That time has passed and he is now becoming not only an accepted member, but a prime speaker at a recent tea party meeting:
GOP: You better stop the flirting with racist scumbags. The rats are taking over your ship. You are becoming the KKK. Your president is one of them.
They’re OK with that.
We are ?! Well that’s embarrassing, I’m on holidays right now but I wouldn’t want to miss out. Can we postpone until we relaunch the War on Christmas, please ? I promise I’ll bring the guillotines.
It is possible he never made a grocery purchase that did not include a fifth of vodka.

Ron DeSantis, one of the Republican candidates for Governor of Florida, is running a campaign ad where he’s teaching his son how to read by reading “Make America Great Again”, teaching him how to build a wall with building blocks, and revealing that he’s a big Trump fanboy.
[/QUOTE]The GOP gubernatorial candidates are attempting to out-Trump each other to an almost ridiculous degree. Adam Putnam is currently blasting DeSantis based on one vote which was inconsistent with one line in a Trump speech which Trump himself was lying about anyway. I am quietly hoping “That’s Not What Trump Wants!” becomes the new “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Putnam also needs to cut back on his Just For Men purchases. We have high-def TV these days, Mr. “I’m a proud NRA sellout!” To be fair, he’s not the only one.
As an aside, I have to say I’m a huge fan of how many less-than-nutty Republican pundits have become some sort of weird Trump oracles - like “yeah he said this and then he tweeted a picture of a swastika with a Jew hanging from it, but the moon is in retrograde and if you squint and completely ignore the plain text you can sort of bring yourself to believe that what he’s *really *saying/meaning is…”
But then violent cognitive dissonance will probably never stop entertaining me.
Trump is teetotal, although it’s understandable to be having difficulty believing someone could say the things he does while completely sober.
Can’t do that in New York. Only beer sold at grocery, and you know Mr. Big Mac wouldn’t drink beer. Too crass (though, of course, Big Mac’s are not).
Phhhuulease… 1/4 pounders with cheese, no icky pickles and extra of that sweet, sweet ketchup. He has the palate of a 5 year old.
Matches his intellect.
He could just send Chris Christie out for it.
Hey, pickles ARE icky, ESPECIALLY McDonalds pickles. 
From the headline, I expected much more full throated acceptance than what was presented in the article (although the weaseling and trying to have it both ways nature of the statements made is still Pit worthy, since it shows they still care about the white supremacists’ votes).
How is introducing him as a “gentleman” before allowing him to speak at this meeting NOT a full-throated acceptance of the shitbag racist??? :eek:
I mean that I expected the “defense” to be after/a result of the Tea Party appearance. I didn’t expect her to say one thing at the gathering and then just reverse course after (more fool me, but I expected a doubling down, not a weaseling).
Maybe he wasn’t buying the vodka to drink it. Someone had to buy that Trump-brand vodka if the store was going to continue to stock it.
BTW, this was the president of the Spokane County GOP welcoming the white supremacist. Spokane County isn’t a small, back-woods county. And if there are any doubts about how bad this open-arms reception of white power shitheads is:
“Action is what the Republican Party needs so strongly,” an unidentified man says at the end of Allsup’s speech. “How’d you like to have a couple hundred people like James here in Spokane?”
That is scary stuff. The GOP is openly welcoming white supremacists. Read the rest of that article. It contains more gems like: “ ‘Oh, what about these poor illegal alien children?’ ” Allsup said in a whiny voice. “He says, womp womp.” “You have transgenders teaching your kids, you have the gay agenda, you have all this social degradation going on,” Allsup said during his speech.
If you have the stomach for it, here is the video of the GOP party welcoming a racist to talk at their meeting:
Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State of Kansas and candidate for Governor, has a long history of fighting against undocumented workers. He even has a history of visiting small cities and convincing them that they needed to implement laws against undocumented workers. Once the laws were implemented, and the cities were sued, Kobach then got hired on as the cities’ legal representative. He would invariably lose, but that didn’t keep him from pocketing large legal fees.
