The Republicult™ On Parade

I think AOC explained this situation well:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Points Out The Delicious Irony In Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool Fiasco

"The New York Democrat also explained why the debacle was predictable."

As per this article:

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) waded into the controversy surrounding the algae- and peeling paint-plagued Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Tuesday.

Asked by the MeidasTouch Network for her take on the fallout from President Donald Trump's troubled $14 million renovation project, the New York Democrat suggested the problems were predictable given the current White House's anti-science agenda.

"I mean, when you defund science research, when you don't really understand the first thing about science, yeah, they talked a bunch of smack," she said.

Ocasio-Cortez then zinged: "They said they had to repaint the pool and now they've turned the place into a swamp. They turned it into an actual swamp."

The "swamp" of Washington, D.C., was, of course, what Trump repeatedly vowed to drain during his three presidential campaigns."

So, it looks to me like it's time for a remake of that old Swamp Thing movie. Perhaps the people at The Onion would be interested in taking the project on. After all, they seem pretty flush with cash these days.

Unfortunately, this MAGAt represents a congressional district with a Cook Partisan Voting Index (Cook PVI) of R+10:

Tom Emmer Decides The Real Problem Is Being Called A Racist, Not Being One

"He said this out loud. Weird flex, Tom. "

As per this article:

"House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) apparently decided this was the week to stop mincing words. At a recent event, Emmer declared he was "done being even the least bit careful" before informing his Somali-American constituents that they "don't assimilate" and should "go the hell back to where they came from" if they don't.

Emmer represents Minnesota's 6th District, home to one of the largest Somali-American communities in the country. Emmer does not appear to have considered the irony of telling his own constituents to leave.

"Guess what? There is nothing racist about calling out a criminal," he said. "So when I say that..."House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) apparently decided this was the week to stop mincing words.

This article continues on about this particular incident in detail. But, you get the idea. In the Turd Reich under the POSOTUS, they don't have to hide their identities behind their ol' KKK white hoods anymore.

It looks like the POSOTUS is giving a gift to the Democratic Party:

Trump announces midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas in September

As per this article:

"President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold their first-ever national convention ahead of November's midterm elections, an unusual event aimed at boosting turnout in races that will decide whether the party maintains control of Congress."

And, further along in this same article:

"Democrats have said the GOP convention will be a chance for them to tie Republican House and Senate candidates to Trump, whose approval rating is underwater."

And so, it appears that the Democrats know they're being given a gift. Now, we'll see if they actually know how to utilize this gift.

It looks like what we have here is a failure to indoctrinate:

Only One Student Has Enrolled in New WVU Program Designed to Counter 'Woke Ideology'

And, it's in West Virginia no less. What's a cult to do?

On a campus of a few thousand eligible, they probably would have had at least some who would be interested, however when they are choosing electives they will choose modules more relevant to their career path. It wasnt just that its a stupid course, it also got kicked in the teeth by capitalism.

Is that like the conservative equivalent of gender studies?

Is that like the conservative equivalent of gender studies? 

Well ... I hadn't given it any thought until you brought it up. But, taking into account how opposed the typical conservative is to critical thinking, I'd have to say, yes. Yes, it is. Final answer.

The POSOTUS may have lost an easily replaceable fluffer, and the Republicult™ may have lost an easily replaceable cheerleader, but:

Lindsey Graham is gone, Israel may never find another friend like him - comment

"Lindsey Graham's death leaves Israel without one of its fiercest advocates and raises urgent questions about the future of US support."

We're apparently going to attack Cuba.

This has been building for a while they have had rolling power outages, two black starts, due to fuel blockades by the US in recent months. Trump wants to expand the country as part of his legacy, and this would make sense.

Its really sad to see, the people there are incredible, seeing them keeping 60 year old Lada's on the road mad max style and all taking pride in their country, really welcoming and kind people, they dont have much but they live well and take care of each other.
