Hilarious: Pence says something reasonable & polite... and Republicans FREAK OUT!!

Massive F-bomb warning

HuffPo: Linky link

MAGA Crowd Melts Down After Mike Pence Says Something Reasonable

...In his post, Pence thanked President Joe Biden for making “the right decision” and “putting the interests of our Nation ahead of his own” by ending his presidential campaign.

He also said Biden’s departure from the campaign and the assassination attempt on Trump suggests that it’s time for “leaders in both parties to project calm and send a message of strength and resolve to America’s friends and enemies.”


Pretty banal civil stuff, right? Well, in Trump's MAGAGOP, civility equals treason. They didn't just carpet F-bomb him, they call him Judas 😄

Hopefully I'm able to link to the hi-larious tweets below (including one from the king clown himself). If not, follow the link above. It'll tickle your eyes.

Now that he has no power, Pence can act like an actual Christian again:

His ex-co-partisans have no such moral compass:

I pray for Mike Pence, but I don't know if he's listening.

They had their Reichstag Fire yesterday. Tomorrow, they'll start their Nuremburg Rally in Milwaukee.

God help us. This election will be a tough fight.

Good luck, DUers.

Shooter had explosives in his car. I'd be more worried if they found a time machine in there too.

At least the deranged kid was only worried about what still might happen in the future, not something from his own past.

Hope lives

a Republican warning us about Trump... from 1964



(Actually the old footage is from a Johnson '64 ad, but the parallels are eerie. Of course this was all a worry about Barry Goldwater, who would be considered a RINO in today's Republican Party)

A deep dive on the astounding awfulness of the SCOTUS immunity ruling (by the "legal eagle", Devin Stone)

In case you're not pissed off enough, Stone provides a point by point rundown of how the Scotus has made the president a near absolute monarch untouchable by checks and balances, particularly in the area of criminal behavior by a president. He lays out the skeleton of the arguments and expla .ins the numerous arguments by the three dissenters (Sotomayor, Kagen, Jackson) that demonstrate what a fiat-based rejection of all legal precedents in US history



This ruling isn't just bad, it's Dred Scott bad. It's Korematsu bad. It's Buck v Bell bad. They've used the authority of the Constitution to literally weaken the rule of law where it concerns the one office holder holding the greatest ability to harm the nation by violating the law. They've effectively amended the Constitution to make the president in law what Vladimir Putin is in practice.

NYT via TPM: Trump Widens Lead After Biden's Debate Debacle, (LV 49-43, RV 49-41)

Trump Widens Lead After Biden’s Debate Debacle, Times/Siena Poll Finds

Donald Trump is ahead of President Biden by six percentage points among likely voters in a new national survey. Overall, 74 percent of voters view Mr. Biden as too old for the job, an uptick since the debate.

Mr. Trump now leads Mr. Biden 49 percent to 43 percent among likely voters nationally, a three-point swing toward the Republican from just a week earlier, before the debate. It is the largest lead Mr. Trump has recorded in a Times/Siena poll since 2015. Mr. Trump leads by even more among registered voters, 49 percent to 41 percent.

Doubts about Mr. Biden’s age and acuity are widespread and growing. A majority of every demographic, geographic and ideological group in the poll — including Black voters and those who said they will still be voting for him — believe Mr. Biden, 81, is too old to be effective.

Overall, 74 percent of voters view him as too old for the job, up five percentage points since the debate. Concerns about Mr. Biden’s age have spiked eight percentage points among Democrats in the week since the debate, to 59 percent. The share of independent voters who said they felt that way rose to 79 percent, nearly matching the Republican view of the president.


?===============================?

Of course it'll get worse after their convention and better after ours. That's how it generally runs, although I kinda remember Trump not getting that much of a bump in the very unusual year of 2020.
