The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

[Houngan]

Right, but the fact he has any support at all is infuriating.

Whither our erstwhile godhead Reagan,
Who shat upon his throne as the USSR passed by
Something something Menachem Begin
All we have left is to cry

Watching the supposedly serious Crenshaw become a complete Trumpy lunatic has been something.

I like this guy looking over at the rest of them calmly like “uh, don’t you think you guys are overacting this a bit?”

Totally reconsidering his hobby as a war reenactor.

That’s Kushner, isn’t it?

Yes and I assume this is Jeffrey Epstein:

Heh, I think you’re right.

Now @scottagibson has to go on Saturday Night Live to apologize to Dan Crenshaw.

Shit. Is this mandatory? Or is there some community service option where I can take an online class? Thinking about the airfare mostly.

[BennyProfane]

Do it by Zoom.

[scottagibson]

Maybe someone can do a painting of me apologizing to Crenshaw?

[RichVR]

Might as well apologize to Nunes’ cow while you’re at it.

Another good Republican supporting our administration in a time of crisis.

The Recount

Maybe I can organize a Texas apology tour?

I don’t think anyone expects that’s going to happen, not with the modern GOP. Instead, they’re going to twist themselves into pretzels supporting Ukraine while trying to hang Russian aggression around Biden’s neck. Even fucking Romney couldn’t pass up a jab at Biden. :(

Yes. More’s the pity.

“Morons. I have morons on my team,” Romney said Sunday.

Truer words were never spoken Mitt.

Here’s the clip:

'I have got morons on my team:' Romney hits GOP ties to white nationalists -...

Turns out he was quoting Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I wonder if he knows how that movie ended? Alternatively, couldn’t he find something from a Marvel movie? Kids these days won’t appreciate the provenance of the “morons” line.

It’s the usual Bad Faith argument by the GOP. Biden has been on the phone working NATO pretty much since Day 1 (probably before 1/21/21, actually) to repair the damage done since 1/21/17. June 2021 was huge in preparing us for the events of the past weeks:

Leadership Lessons From Biden’s G7 And NATO Meetings

I know nothing and don’t want to go on the proper thread, but I can’t see European countries reacting so quickly and so strongly without direction from the hegemony getting it right (this time) and leading well.
