Confession of perverse joy...

...in seeing the Republican Party disassembled in so many different directions. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.

But the Democratic Party is not exempt from this social upheaval. The Democratic Party has always had its share of mediocre minds and outright idiots, if the truth be told. There is a very real threat that many of these simpletons will be persuaded by Donald Trump to join his troupe. He speaks in one-and-two-syllable words that they understand.

That is why this election is most important in getting out the vote. That is the only option we have in countering this political upheaval, in my opinion.

And you wouldn't want to be in my company.

I too, am experiencing Schadenfreude watching the top of the party, men I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, pounce on Trump's delayed KKK-distancing. As if it will turn the nomination to Rubio.

As ye sow, so ye shall reap. Hoist by their own Petards.

In particular a large monkey house stocked with all the meth, Red Bull, loaded guns, ammo, and potato masher grenades (not to mention monkeys) it can hold.

The best thing about it is watching the full-on Monkey Frenzy on teevee and the intertubes. Better than pro wrestling.
