Some nascent spines in the GOP Caucus

Projection, much?

[Horace]

Nothing wrong with being gay, or having a feminine mindset. But if one has an issue with it, I would suggest not paying any close attention to the male phenotypes that end up resonating with left-leaning politics.

You folks are all missing the goal of all of this...the Nobel Peace Prize - missed out last round - but this time he's gonna win that thing if he has to surrender Ukraine or threaten nuclear annihilation of Norway.

[Horace]

The field is wide open for Trump to earn a Nobel Peace Prize to a far greater extent than Barack Obama's glorified DEI participation trophy, but I'm sure even Trump is aware enough to know that the Nobel referees would sooner rewrite the rules mid-game than signal a touchdown for him.

That's why he'll threaten to Nuke Norway - can seem the meme already.

I too am at a loss for words, but not at the simple question.

The story about the Florida patient who beat and broke every bone in a nurse's face - read a comment with 15K likes suggesting that Trump will likely want him in his administration.

I wish Kelly hadn't cut him off as I wanted to hear what his response would be. "Well in my closed door session, you'll note that just before Russia crossed into Ukraine territory, a satellite caught a Ukrainian soldier on the border appearing to do the "fake punch" taunt to a Russian soldier, so technicallyyyyyyyy Ukraine started this shit. Don't start nothing, won't be nothin', I always say."

There is a word after all:

Sycophancy

[Horace]

He's certainly confused, and afraid to say the wrong thing. In this case, the confusion seems particularly stupid, as "Russia invaded Ukraine" crosses no rhetorical lines his bosses haven't crossed.

[Doctor Phibes]

He certainly didn't look particularly comfortable with his waffling. He's clearly been instructed by somebody who is more accustomed to bullshitting completely shamelessly.

[Horace]

@Doctor-Phibes I don't think Trump runs such a tight ship that he instructs people what to say or not say. I think his staff have to absorb the rules by osmosis, and I think this guy is not very good at that.

This lamentable performance has nothing to do with him being told to say something that is completely unsupportable?

I beg to differ.

[Horace]

@Doctor-Phibes I thought I said that his interpretation of the unspoken rules were at fault. Also, that his interpretation was stupid.

[Renauda]

Trumpigula has proven by the tumultuous number and scope of EOs this past month that he is indeed a micro-manager. The ridiculousness of a presidential EO banning paper drinking straws is but one example of micro-management at the highest level. There is no reason then to suggest he would not micro-manage what nominees will or will not say in Committee hearings.

He wants sycophants, and only sycophants on his team.

They won’t say it anymore.

Hegseth also wouldn’t answer the question. Saying only ‘its complicated’.
