(8,200 posts)My sincere hope is that the Republican Party is totally decimated and never recovers. I have watched from the time after Eisenhower as it was steadily transformed into the most destructive enemy of the very Constitution upon which the nation was founded. They have aligned themselves with White Supremist racists, radical religious fanatics who are intent on creating a theocracy and Second Amendment radicals who have twisted its intent to the point of utter insanity. Their greatest accomplishment was the election of an outright conman, sexual abuser of women, congenital liar and demagogue spewing fascist propaganda to guide the nation. If there isn't a radical realignment I see no extended future for our nation as created by its founders. If not corrected it is doomed to become dictatorship ruled in conjunction with a cabal of the wealthy oligarchs.

(2,594 posts)Of course, there won't be anyone left to exterminate the pests since rethugs are only capable of conscripting people to "take care" of their problems. Well, I guess I can soothe myself to the idea that the cockroaches will win and inherit the planet and the rethugs will finally be roach bait.

(32,633 posts)It's what is left after the Koch-critters and Tea Party assholes are finally done with it. They may call themselves "Republicans" but we know that's not what they are. They've taken it over, and we might as well call them the Borg.
They won't get us though. We're the good guys!

And anything in the tweets thats enclosed between parentheses must be read at half-volume and double-speed.
While lacking in sonic verisimilitude (dig the big words), Colberts is the most inner-Trumpian of Trump impressions.

"Like he did on me?" Okay, seven-year-old asshole...

(82,849 posts)I'm not on Twitter, and I decline to drive any traffic to the Emperor Trump's account, but my impression is that Trump just tweets, he never gets into it on a thread.
Which is fine, of course. Avenatti can point to Trump's failure to reply to him as evidence that he shut the bullying jerk down.

Can't help but think Avenatti's life may actually be in danger given his effectiveness against the greatest threat (the Trumpster and his enabling thugs) our nation has encountered in my lifetime.

But desperate times call for desperate measures.
