About Those Evangelicals

The best way to get a clear understanding of what these guys are really saying is to substitute "me" or "my" or "mine" whenever you hear the word "god". 

Via Mock Paper Scissors, here's Reverend Fishdicks:

Sometimes, there really is somebody out to gitcha.  Sometimes, it's just dumb luck they don't.  And sometimes, you get lucky because the guys trying to get you are a buncha dumb fuckin' snakes.

This Just In

Exclusive video from inside the Trump Scampaign® - as Donald experiences the effects that typically accompany Twitter Withdrawal.

Unconfirmed reports also suggest he was a bit miffed at the whole Comey SNAFU.

The Trump Scampaign®

Aside from a few - Jeb, Kasich, McCain, and some others - Repubs "running" for POTUS have had a distinct aroma. Take it, John:

It's been said before, by people smarter than me - and as such, bears repeating as long as the grass grows and the wind blows - Trump is not some kind of weird anomaly. Trump is doing what the GOP has spent 30 years telling their voters to look for, and prodding them to vote for.

And BTW - try not to think about the fact that Nu-Skin is very much the reason Jason Chaffetz is in office:

Accused in several states of operating an illegal pyramid scheme, the Provo-based multilevel marketing firm has decided to mount an offensive. Nu Skin takes issue with the way national and local media have portrayed the company."Enough is enough," said Jason Chaffetz, Nu Skin administrative assistant for public relations. "We're frustrated and disturbed that a number of inaccuracies continue to be perpetuated."

I thought the only thing that could stop a bad man shouting "gun" at a Trumpkin hatefest is a good man shouting "gun" at a Trumpkin hatefest

Today's Tweet

(Oops.  I had a great Tweet for this, but I fucked up embedding it - sorry about that. I'll try to find it again and fix it for ya.)

Anyway - this is supposed to be a clever dig against the Purity Police, but like I said, I blew it.

You're not pushing people away from Hillary so much as you're pushing people away from taking part in the process. You're reinforcing the thinking that maybe they can't take the chance of "voting for the wrong one" so they won't vote at all.

Low turnout favors the bad guys - it always favors the bad guys - it's why the bad guys are always trying to keep people from voting - because when everybody votes, the bad guys lose.

You're doing the GOP's work for them, and you should stop doing that.

You don't have to say anything good about Clinton, and you can go back to slagging her all you want after Tuesday.  And I promise, if you just manage to shut up for a few more days, your farts will still smell as sweet to you as they apparently do now.

Thanks, Trump

Thank Trump for the one good thing he did. He exposed Evangelicals, who are his supporters as the shameless hippocrates they've always been. pic.twitter.com/hqOpc1oKMR

Crazy Uncle Liberty's last stand

 -and (paraphrasing)-

I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton. I believe in my heart that I'm voting for the republic itself.

Today's Keith

That the FBI is rat-fucking for Trump should be the biggest of the big-time Holy Fucks, and as Keith says, those agents should be fired as of at least last week, and it should be reflected on their records to the point they'll be forever hard-pressed even to land jobs as crossing guards or Port-A-Potty attendants or javelin catchers.

The saving grace is that they are, after all - wait for it - Gubmint Employees, and therefor - wait for it again - a buncha fuckin' idiots.

Makes me wonder why Republicans in particular would trust them to pull it off.

Get out and vote

It never feels like it's enough, but it's what we've got

And eventually, if we keep doing it right, it works

Gotta Wonder

In Trump's defense, he probably has never read the First Amendment.

Or the rest of the Constitution.#ImWithTur pic.twitter.com/vPw6AQQNtH

Today's Nostalgia

Call me silly and old-fashioned, but I find myself yearning for the days when the FBI and the Russians weren't on the same side.
