The Bold and the Bellowing
Hats off to a Houston Republican precinct chair who is as disgusted by Donald Trump as the rest of us.
A longtime precinct chairman for the Harris County Republican Party announced his resignation Tuesday. The resignation came as the party nominated Donald Trump as its Presidential candidate.
“How can you work with a guy like that?” said William Morris. “He’s a racist, a liar.”
Bravo. I have taken William’s name off my Goofy Old White Guy list. I know he’s celebrating that today.
I cannot let Wednesday morning start without mentioning that I made strange noises last night when Chris Christy said …
“We have a man who judges people based on their performance regardless of your gender, race, ethnic or religious background. We do not need to settle for less.”
That’s nice. Where is that man? Does he have a name? How’d he get into this convention?
And our friend, Shiela Kennedy, has passed along the apt phrase “The Party of Cultural Resentment.”
Trump began this political cycle with his embrace of birtherism–a stance firmly grounded in the conviction that an African-American could not possibly be a legitimate occupant of the Oval Office.
Trump’s Presidential campaign has been upfront and unembarrassed about its anti-Mexican, anti-Muslim positions; it has been somewhat more covert in its appeal to white supremacists and anti-Semites, but not much. David Duke remains positively euphoric about Trump’s candidacy, as are a number of other avowed racists.
So, if you’re wondering why they cannot bring themselves to admit that Melania’s speech was stolen from Michelle Obama, remember that they cannot even admit that they are racists. They have rung the bell at Delusion Mountain.
Thanks to Mazie, Bernard, and Shiela for the heads up.
I think they have climbed, settled, and built a fortress on delusion mountain.
1Don’t sell them short. The bigot idiot voter is a large number.
2It will be a big job to get out the vote, The Gross Old Pervert’s.
Have spent 25 years smearing Hil. And there is no IQ test to stop them from voting.
Apparently, this was not her first venture into plagiarism. She apparently also tweeted a quote from Marva Collins without attribution.
3I was at MickeyDee’s last night for a quick, late burger. The R-Con was on CNN. Some female thing was defending Melania, Trump, and his brood. I was bad. I said loud enough for anyone to hear: “Shut up you f..king, stupid bitch!”
I will not apologize.
4After a week of denying the plagiarism, they now have a scapegoat. They made a young woman staffer “confess” to having taken some ideas form Melania over the phone and didn’t check Mrs. Obama’s speech. She claims that Mrs. Drumpf admires Michelle (try not to vomit from that lie) and suggested ideas from her speech. What really happened was that Mrs. Drumpf presented them as her own words. The staffer claims she offered her resignation, but Drumpf refused. choke. choke.
5JAKvirginia, I applaud your restraint! Seriously. Every time I see a snacilbupeR bumper sticker, I remind myself that I have a brilliant and gorgeous wife, a wonderful son and another son due to arrive within days. Those thoughts keep me from doing anything snacilbupeR st00pid or at a minimum, rash.
😀 Take the “Melanin Challenge” – or, as Nancy might have said, “Just Say No to Drumpf.”
6Trump’s Presidential campaign has been upfront and unembarrassed about its anti-Mexican, anti-Muslim positions;
Just this past week, Chokelahoma guv Mary Failin says Drumpf’s campaign has been one of racial healing. I kid you not.
7Prup-Melanomia did manage to leave out the last line of M Collin’s quote. She only plagiarized 99% of it.
8Diane: If they did what you say, it would be Trump Delusion Mountain (copyrighted). Now that I think about it…. it is!!!
9It is being reported that the writer was on the corporation payroll, not the campaign’s.
10Has anybody there even read the rulebook?
Does anyone at this train wreck of a convention look happy? You know, how the other party has people dancing in aisles, and not all white, real talk about policy beyond jailing/hanging people, esp. an uppity woman.
11@JAKvirginia. We must be related. Those are my exact words when I hear one of them, and I too say it loudly. Don’t give a flying cluck who hears.
12Sheila Kennedy is our beacon of hope in central Indiana. She was a staunch Republican until the party left her behind. Now she gives us lonely Dems something to live for.
13The goal of the current GOP seems to be to criminalize being a Democrat.
14@Maryelle#5- I don’t believe dRUMPf is as well-heeled as he’d like everyone to think,but he’s evidently well-heeled enough to buy someone willing to fall on their sword.In the America of today that might not take all that much.Especially Republican America.
15@ LynnN:
I think you’re on to something there.
They certainly make the life of any Democrat who runs for president hell. It started with Jimmy Carter [retribution for the calling out of Nixon’s crimes] and has just gotten worse with every Democratic president [and candidate] since.
I think an intermediary goal is to make Democrats just give up on the idea of running for president before they begin. Another is to figure out how to gerrymander entire states the way they have the districts within them. Then, with no Dems running for president and both houses of Congress gerrymandered out of all recognition, they can pass the laws that will make being a Democrat a crime. Making us wear a large “D” sewn onto our clothes will be next.
Ah, a snacilbupeR utopia, at last.
