General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

YOUR SUNDAY MOMENT OF ZEN
How it started:
Where the Trumpublicans are now:
Trumpublican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana suggested that President Biden's Black female SCOTUS pick won't know "A law book from a J. Crew Catalog."
History keeps repeating itself. The republicans have a perfect opportunity to dominate both houses except for one thing. They can't get out of their own way. The country is leaderless and facing several major crises created by the head of the DNC (that would be obiden) and then you have people like kennedy who just steps in it. In spite of the current disaster within the DNC I would not be surprised to see them win seats in November.
Tucker Carlson reminds me of Atwater, an amoral self entitled brat. Starting in school, they both liked to scheme to pit friends against friends and then watch and take glee in their dirty work. Did you see the documentary done on him back in 2008: Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story? Made me sick to my stomach.
The country is NOT leaderless. That statement is a partisan one, and one that is blind to everything Biden has accomplished in a year and without any support of the Trumpublicans.
Let's start with the fact that Trump left office WITHOUT any program for getting vaccines into arms. Trump bragged about the warp speed in getting a vaccine, good for him. But what good is a vaccine unless it's put into arms? Trump. Had. No. Plan.
President Biden stepped in and his administration got a plan going.
I don't mean to say that everything is perfect in the current administration. There has NEVER been a perfect presidency. Ever. No. Not even Ronald Reagan's, which was one of the MOST CORRUPT administration in post war history -- and Reagan didn't know what the hell was going on at the time his lackeys were committing crimes. So there's that.
With Biden, we have dignity, a respect for the office of the presidency, and a willingness to care about the people who did not vote for him. Trump was none of that. He disgraced and sullied himself, the office of the presidency, and his country.
But all you can say is negative, negative, negative about President Biden?
"In spite of the current disaster within the DNC I would not be surprised to see them win seats in November."
Skudrunner are you deliberately obtuse or do you enjoy yourself as such?
Last week the RNC called the insurrection of January 6, 2021, a "legitimate political discourse," even when there is existing videos, taken by people in the House chamber, of REPUBLICAN lawmakers crouching in the House chamber to hide from the "legitimate political discourse" of the mob trying to break into the chamber to "get Nancy!" and "HANG PENCE!"
Now the question to YOU, skud, is "HANG PENCE!" "legitimate political discourse?" Can you answer that for me?
Also, is smearing human feces on the wall of the Capitol, spearing Capitol policemen with an American flag, beating Capitol policemen into unconsciousness, using bear spray on Capitol policemen, and wanting to stop the Constitutionally required counting of the electoral votes "legitimate political discourse?" Can you answer that for me?
Please don't bring up the riots following the murder of George Floyd, because as bad and wrong as those rioters and looters were, THEY WERE NOT TRYING TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTION OF A US PRESIDENT. Can you understand the difference?
You just stated the there is a "disaster" within the DNC, and yet any sane person would look at you and scratch his or her head and wonder what you were smoking, since the RNC just put out a DISASTROUS statement calling a SEDITIOUS INSURRECTION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES "LEGITIMATE POLITICAL DISCOURSE."
The problem, skud, is that a majority of your fellow Americans looked at that announcement and realized that the RNC is INSANE.
Possumlady A judge and Tucker Carlson's own employer's lawyers (FOX) stated in court during a lawsuit against Carlson by former playmate and mistress to trump, Karen McDougal, that:
"...you can't expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson's mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson's critics. It's being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News's own lawyers in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. It worked, by the way.
[The opinion leaned]... heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "
SOURCE That's lawyerese for "Tucker Carlson is a lying scumbag whose own employer knows he's a contemptible liar."
Go read any far-right Trumpublican blog and understand that they watch FAUX NOOZ faithfully and eat up Carlson's manure like it was whipped cream.
And, IMO, that's why this country is such a mess. Even when Carlson's own employer states he's a bullshit artist, his fans still watch and believe his bullshit. Why? Reality isn't what they want it to be, so they accept Carlson's despicable lies because it matches their paranoiac visions of America, not reality.

This is an exact quote from Donald Trump:
"Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are hearing is not what’s happening."
- - Donald John Trump
I guess your resident troll, skudruner, buys into that and the "legitimate political discourse" b.s.
The Republican Party is dead. It is now officially a Cult of Trump.
