Not content with mere ratfucking, voter suppression, gerrymandering, and bad faith, the GOP is now finding ways to avoid pesky primary elections, since their own voters might choose someone unelectable.

She'll be replaced by Markwayne Mullin, who may have a flair for cosplay too.

We'll let you get away with AI slop this one time.
Excuse me, but MAGAs and Fox News all agreed that nobody really cared, because most liberals just hate Trump and never even heard of the East Wing before he decided to improve it by tearing it down completely.
They were very insistent on telling us what we really thought, remember?
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
A photoshopped image of then-Rep. Steve King, with a quarter of his head appearing to have been "sliced," revealing it's actually a ripe orange cantaloupe, seeds and all.
As will this illustration.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
Have social scientists explained why coming up with endless ways to be cruel is the Right's preferred medium for creative expression?

Strong "Stephen Miller can't be a racist because he's Jewish" energy
Well next you're gonna reveal that Stephen Miller can't be a racist because he's Jewish.
I love that there's a reggae Talking Heads cover band, Talking Dreads.

We're going so lawless, so fast. And so batshit crazy, too.
Well after we elected the antichrist, things just kept rolling
Americans in the ME face mortal danger and the embassies say there’s little help they can offer. But most also still have satellite TV
Just imagine *that* in a Graham Greene novel.
FIFA Peace President Would Evacuate Americans From War Zone But Has Ballroom To Plan

It's also "ALL the Americans," not "now the Americans," stupid googles.
I was wondering about that too; maybe the related worries over "white slavery" and of course the ever-present fear of miscegenation.
It's like they read a book about the Gilded Age and thought, wow, we should do all of this again -- tariffs and trade wars, massive corporate power, white supremacy and immigration fights, a creepy sex panic and, of course, unlimited acts of brazen corruption and graft.
Goddamn it, I knew it's Fagen, not the Dickens spelling. Anyway, still a classic song.

Now the Americans are gone except for two
The embassy's been hard to reach
There's been talk and lately
A bit of action after dark

Donald Fagin, The Goodbye Look
Yes, my Tivo is about 30 minutes behind real time, why do you ask?
OK, that was sweet when Roy Cooper, in his NC primary victory speech, said he's running to help farmers like 'Joyce and Jeannette"
Even though he's a plumbing contractor who's never been in combat, Markwayne Mullin is *just like* a traumatized soldier with a thousand-yard stare.
He’s seen some shit, man.
Trump explains that the war he planned for months actually happened so fast there simply wasn't time to think about evacuating Americans.
To be honest, he kind of took himself by surprise, you see.
I really did think the Riyadh Comedy Festival would help bring peace to the Middle East
If. you're not terrified that there are a bunch of apocalyptic fundamentalists commanding troops and actively telling them that the war in Iran is designed to bring about the end times -- you SHOULD be. @doktorzoom.bsky.social @wonkettemedia.bsky.social
From a comic book depiction of the Rapture: Close-up of a guy in blue bell-bottomsa,an improbable leisure suit jacket with sports-jersey stripes on the sleeves, a white guy afro, and a goofy grin. He's looking upward, but at what?
More complete version of the image sure looks like he's staring at the young woman in the foreground, who appears to be experiencing a physical as well as a spiritual rapture.
This dude's goofy face. But we know exactly where he's staring. Male Gaze strikes again, even during the Rapture.
This was kind of fun to write, in a sick-making way.
Our midlevel military command structure is now in the hands of people who attend storefront Gospel churches.
