Some nascent spines in the GOP Caucus

I think you nailed it. Maggots are closeted faggots. Hence all the Trump homerotica.

[Jolly]

Projection, much?

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."

[Renauda]

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.
