I know disgusting things will crawl out when you turn over rotted logs, but I never thought

the rotted log that is today's GOP was so large, with so many rotted roots.

There doesn't seem to be any end to the disgusting revelations.

This should be the main news story every day, on the mainstream media that so far can't keep up and often don't seem at all interested in trying.

Why have all Republicans signed onto Trumpism? It's baffling and frightening. It's also ultimately self-defeating.

Your last sentence reminded me of a story about Norman Mailer's, "The Naked And The Dead." Throughout the book (in order to get it published), Mailer wrote "fuck" as "fug." When he met Tallulah Bankhead, she said, "Oh, so you're the one who can't spell fuck!"

Enjoy your weekend, pwb!

Think about it. How are Republicans going to exist after this? Republicans are going to go back to a platform again? As bad as it was before Trump. There is no way back for them. Once the Christian right breaks away from the white supremacist's the numbers will fall. If they keep trying to get a leader to pull them together it will just make it worse. R's will be like the Whigs. People keep saying I am crazy. But it seems clear to me.

to do with my having posted another thread this morning

https://democraticunderground.com/103467479

but since you just told me in email that you hadn't seen it, I guess it was just one of those odd coincidences. And as you said, we do feel like we're in the Twilight Zone these days.


(Editing because I just noticed the post #. 34343. I like that.)
