Gerald Ford, the only President of the United States who was NEVER elected, will be remembered solely for pardoning Nixon. And appearing on The Simpsons.
Only the best people.
He will be remembered for more than that. When Nixon quit and Ford took over, the entire country breathed a sigh of relief. The man who had stained the office was gone, and all of his criminal associates with him. There was finally a decent man in the Oval Office.
Thump has stained, sullied, and disgraced the office far more than Nixon ever did. And he does it every day, several times a day. For those who are too young to remember when decency reclaimed the White House, I only hope history will soon repeat itself, and then you’ll know what that feels like.
One difference; Could you name one Republican… ONE. Who could “reclaim the White House” should Trump be tossed out tomorrow?
Maybe Mueller.
He’s disappointed a lot of us by being so passive about the misrepresentation of his report. But he does still have a reputation for having some decency and some patriotism.
eta: I don’t mean to damn him with that faint praise, but merely to express skepticism about his overall ability to clean up Trump’s mess, should he be drafted to try. He’s kind of overly-concerned with being non-confrontational, it seems to me.
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
Possibly Justin Amash, although… he’s no longer a Republican. So no.
ETA: Not that I would want him to. Wing nut libertarians scare me as much as Republicans.
the acostas couldn’t look more like a strict christian family with dark secrets if they tried
His two daughters look like the twin creepy kids from The Shining. They look like their heads were stuffed into goldfish bowls for haircut day.
Where have I seen that haircut before?
Pence looks like he’s playing pocket pool. Or he’s trying not to grope Mrs. Acosta. Or Mr. Acosta.
ETA: Who’s the distorted guy that looks like a bad Photoshop job?
And thanks to Chevy Chase on the first SNLs, being really clumsy.
No.
I think it’s his father, Rene, based on the caption.
More from the moron here:
Tell me a story, a fairytale. Tell me how this shithead is not a wannabe dictator.
They’re not even pretending anymore…
“…beholden to the courts…”
WTF does that even mean? Anyway, how does he know a multisyllable word like “beholden”?
Now Mnuchin says the government is running out of money faster than he anticipated, in a letter to Nancy Pelosi:
I love Americathon but that was due to John Ritter and others being funny. Seeing this play out in real life is not as funny and while the president of both has the same penchant for women besides their wives… Moulan from North Korea was Hot! Dang. Life imitating art never seems to work out.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the party of financial responsibility !
It’s routine business (the US shouldn’t have a debt ceiling in the first place) and needs to be approved. That being said, Trump/McCarthy need to deliver at least 50% of the GOP House votes, and Pelosi can top it off with safe Democrats.
And McConnell can do it all on his own in the Senate.
Pelosi: “Sure thing, Stevie, my boy. Now which of the tax cuts are we going to repeal along with it?”
