GOP Insanity Containment 2: This is the Place. This is the Time, Cowboy.

[Trolly]

On paper, DeSantis is a great candidate: young, is a governor of a key state, is shameless and great with politics stunts. Then he goes out and just gets trucked.

The part both parties seem to always inexplicably miss is the value of being funny! It’s a huge part of Trump’s appeal and why Obama beat Hillary.

I hope Christie runs just to try to be the fatter bully who can sling some insults in the debates.

Gladiator was objectively the most insightful political movie of its time but no one seems to have gotten the point. If you can work the crowd, nothing else matters.

Scott Walker 2.0, Paul Ryan etc.

@grue

The term bride-elect is doing some serious, serious work here.

bride-elect

Never seen that term before. Is that common? Normally I hear 'bride-to-be"

@Aofrantic

I genuinely don’t know why other than “im an escort” any 20 year old woman would consentually sleep with a hideous looking 45 year old

There have got to be some women out their with a weird fetish for this sort of thing. I’ve never encountered it, but statistically it seems like it has to exist.

I think they get it at some level. It’s just hard to be funny. Trying to be funny and failing is how we end up with gems like “Pokemon go to the polls”

or at the very least charismatic

Desantis sounds like he’s singing Frankie Valli when he talks and cannot find a suit to fit him to save his life.

And being actually funny often involves taking a bit of sociak risk, which the corporate, bought and paid for, over coached career politicians absolutely will not do.

@Riverman

Every accusation is a confession.

I’m liking the new and improved “believe all women” analog,

@Trolly

When you are a politician and someone asks you “Do you eat pudding with your fingers like some kind of sick fucking weirdo?”, your answer is “Hell no, what are you even talking about?”

Not quite right.

If you’re Trump, you say “sure, why not, live a little” followed by “and your wife seems to like it”

[NoMatterWho]

@Riverman

the value of being funny

It’s how Biden beat Trump.

Not sure if that has been posted here but I just read an article on a german news page about that:

GOP proposal opens more jobs to Iowa teens

Dotzler also expressed concern with a provision in the bill that would make it so any business that employs a student in a work-based learning program is not subject to civil liability for any claims involving that student, even if the incident is due to the business’ negligence.

With lightspeed back to the dark ages.

Trump gives MOST INSANE Interview Yet

[Rivaldo]

[wiper]

[NoMatterWho]

Trump’s blame America first stance doing BIG NUMBERS on the Unstuck Politics Bored.

[NoMatterWho]

Also, lol at anyone that prefers that insane mongoloid to DeSantis.

Why does this House hearing on NYC crime look like it’s being held in a half-lit middle school cafeteria somewhere?
