Republican Politicians Distance Themselves from Trump. Sorry, Too Late

Even in deep red states, republicans stand up to Trump.

Florida GOP Gubernatorial Nominee Byron Donalds

Byron Donalds’ campaign updated his website this week stripping away numerous references to Trump’s endorsement, removing his photo with the president and taking “enact the Trump agenda” off his issues page.

What a hoot.

Kansas’s former GOP governor backs Democrat over Marshall for Senate

The Hill reports Kansas’s former GOP governor backs Democrat over Marshall for Senate

Former Kansas Gov. Bill Graves (R) on Tuesday endorsed Adam Hamilton, a Democrat challenging Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall (R).

Saying the country is “facing increasing partisan gridlock and division,” Graves said it is “time Kansas does something different” and elect Hamilton, a Methodist minister.

“For the last six years, Senator Roger Marshall has turned his back on Kansas,” the former governor remarked in a video Hamilton shared to social platform X. “In contrast, Adam Hamilton stands as a bulwark of kindness, humility and service to others.

“It is for those reasons, and many more, that I believe Kansas should send Adam Hamilton to the U.S. Senate.”

Cornyn will be gone, but payback is a bitch. Best of all Paxton will lose.

You have to admit though, that he is perfectly qualified for the job.

Q: How So?
A: He supports banning news agencies that disagree with Trump’s agenda.

That is the only job requirement.

Lt. Aldo Raine to Oberst Hans Landa:

But I do have one question?
When you go to your little place on
Nantuckett Island, I image you gonna
take off that handsome looking SS
uniform of yours, ain’t ya?

That’s what I thought. Now that…
I can’t abide.

I mean if I had my way, you’d wear
that goddamn uniform for the rest of
your pecker suckin life. But I’m
aware that’s ain’t practical. I mean
at some point ya gotta hafta take it
off.

So I’m gonna give you a little
somethin you can’t take off.

The best scene of one of my favorite movies ever. Not sure how good a human being Brad Pitt is, but dude can act.

” You know Lieutenant, you’re getting pretty good at that!”

“You know why you get ta Carnagie Hall, dontcha? PRACTICE!!!”

Also, his fight scene in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is cinematic gold. Makes me laugh every time I watch it, especially when he makes fun of Tex. But I think I am way off topic now.

Big Tarantino fan here. Just found out there’s a litmus test in Inglourious Basterds — in the cafe scene, did Landa know that Emmanuelle was Shoshana? I maintain there’s no proof.

I wish I had more faith in the American electorate to hope that they will follow through and vote all these spineless opportunistic bums out.

But I doubt it. Rather than voting with integrity, they’ll pull for the party or because of bribes or for other base reasons.

And even if they do, I can’t honestly say that the alternative candidates are deep down any better.

There are far too few Massies or other principled options out there.

Everybody know that you need more than 3-4 comanies providing a product or service for there to be any market competition — otherwise they will collude (whether explicitly or silently) on prices and terms of service.

In the US there simply is no political competition.

  • Hell, even in Russia they had 11 parties, and five managed the 5% vote threshold to be apportioned seats in Parliament (Duma).
  • The last 5 years Putin’s party had a minority and frequently needed to find allies to vote through legislation.

I get what you’re saying about the US two party system but then you quickly lose me when you hold up the Duma as a model alternative.

Near as I can tell the Duma is a rubber stamp to Putin with a 75% or so lockdown by Putin’s United Russia party, and that the other parties are at best interested bystanders. Maybe I’m missing something, but I see nothing that substantiates your assertion.

If only there were some other, not run by a fascist state, parliament to look to! If only such places existed! Oh well, guess we should turn into Russ- oh wait we’re already there.

It’s Team Crazy v. Team Chaos…sad part Mish is in my part of the world there are some decent GOP folks running in this hard blue to purpley state, ruled by Team Crazy. It’s a real challenge to get any balance in Oregon given the lead tire dropped around the neck of the candidates in this midterm cycle. And it was all avoidable…

Trump has gone from a feared president six months ago to one where the cracks and defections are shredding his regime on the daily.

Once the House flips to the Dems, the wheels are going to grind to a halt other than the executive orders, the illegal actions (like bulldozing buildings), the pardons, and the endless corruption.

As long as he keeps his fingers off the nuclear button, I think (hope) we’ll make it through.

We have an amazing ability as a species to muddle through. Hoping you’re right about a nuke. I heard a listener on my talk station tell a host that the way to fix it is to nuke Tehran. The irony…nuke the country so they can’t get a nuke…That’ll teach ’em. /sarc
