🎼Look, look at the brain flying
Ubu Don visited Washington, D.C. on Thursday to show off his debraining machine, only to find his fawning Republican nobles had already been debrained.
Digby will be along presently with a more thorough account of yesterday’s Capitol Hill follies starring Republicans’ 34-felony-convicted former president and 2024 presumptive nominee. Suffice to say it’s udderly insane the tolerance MAGA Republican “leaders” have developed for self-humiliation. How these adults can live with themselves having sacrificed all self-respect on the altar of Trump is beyond comprehension.
A major political party in the most powerful country on Earth has lost its collective mind. It’s gone from Andy Borowtiz satire to deeply unsettling. The U.S. Constitution may not be a suicide pact, but the Republican Party now is.
Lickspittles and Toadies
Sarah Longwell of Republican Voters Against Trump described how Republicans who once saw Trump as too corrupt, unfit, and uninformed (you fill in the rest) for the presidency have become Trump lickspittles and toadies. He threatened their lives and fomented an insurrection and yet they press near to touch the hem of his garment.
You may not be taking crazy pills, Dear Reader, but Dear Leader’s supplicants have gobbled whole handsful. Hell, I’m embarrased for them.
You’ve hear by now about Trump’s unhinged, weekend ramble about sharks and sinking electric boats. He’ll soon be telling his rallies about how he once wore an onion on his belt, “which was the style at the time” and no one from his party will blink. (I’m getting dizzy just typing that. They want to hand this blathering idiot the nuclear codes.)
Trump
Trump’s shark story was so bizarre that someone with facility with AI patched it into a famous scene from Jaws.
Trump has in the past smeared American cities from coast to coast. But reports from his meeting with the Republican caucus had him calling Milwaukee, where he’ll be nominated next month, “a horrible city.” What kind of idiot does that? The Trump kind.
Jordan Klepper made a “The Daily Show” bit out if it. Why am I not laughing?
