The strangest thing about this epoch of American history will always be that tens of millions of grown ups decided to form a cult like devotion to, of all available people, Donald Trump.
The response from a Trumper is genuinely helpful:
It really isn’t about Trump. It could be any republican who had a backbone who would simply stand up against you libs. He’s doing it. He not perfect, but he’s a fighter…and we loved fighters.
In short, we'd have formed a cult around any crazy-ass dumbfuck who nursed our petty grievances and validated our racial hatreds.
We proudly endorse this group of Democratic candidates. In addition to being well-qualified, these candidates have exhibited empathy, a trait sorely lacking, especially among those in House leadership. Our interactions…
Ah yes, the good ‘ol the decedent slipped and fell onto the knife my client was holding, um, a few times, defense:
Real America’s Voice host Karyn Turk wondered if the FBI had “planted” evidence.
“Nobody observed it,” Bobb confirmed. “No, there wasn’t. To your point, this was a completely unnecessary power flex. It was a weird flex. It’s quite honestly sad to see what they have done to our country.”
“No, there is no security that something wasn’t planted,” she added. “I’m not saying that’s what they did.”
She’s just saying it would be irresponsible not to speculate. I mean it’s out there.
This is the way a lawyer talks when her client is in a world of hurt.

The FBI seizure of evidence at the loser's shithole palace has the GOP and the GOP's propaganda arm popping off and vowing revenge. It all sounds very "Banana Republic" to me.
Ingraham: "When we get power back, it’s time to hold everyone accountable.. the military leadership, the civilian leadership, the civil service, those in Congress who have abused their power"
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy: “When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned,” McCarthy tweeted. “Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar.”
I'm moving this from the open thread:
I watched a little bit of Fox News last night to get a flavor for what kind of nonsense they were spoon feeding the moronic dipshits known as Fox News viewers. The major themes seemed to be:
But, but , but Hilary Clinton's email server.
But, but, but Hunter Biden is crimes and gangstering.
Banana Republic!
We can't enforce laws because fascist might get mad.
Be prepared to hear "Banana Republic" a lot. Alan Dershowitz, who Fox News considers to be smart, was exclaiming "Banana Republic!" last night, and that seemed to be picked up pretty quickly by the braying Fox News mutton heads.
There might be more, but I couldn't stomach watching more than about 10 minutes.
I met some DL commenters and chatted with some of our best legislators last night at the York fundraiser. FWIW, here is my take on York's chances.
The convicted Auditor is popular in Sussex. She is the kind of person who shows up at everything. Knows everyone's name asks about the kids by name and people love that shit. She is a Karen's Karen. If it was a general election York would have a heavy lift, but this is a primary.
Primary voters aren't normal voters. They pay more attention and know the increased value of their vote. Primary voters aren't as easily swayed by the glad-handing things the convicted auditor excels at.
That said the wild card is the unions. I have't tracked endorsements, but I watched the union vote swamp much better candidates in primaries because the numbers they can turn out in a primary are significant.
