The group of Republican candidates and potential candidates for president in 2024 joined together to forcefully condemn and renounce former President Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation on Tuesday.
“I’ve been pretty busy — I know there’s different stuff in the news,” [DeSantis] said.
Mein Gott, the GOP hasn’t had such a milquetoast asshole since Jeb.
Excuse me – since JEB!
That’s why we’ve got to leave the baggage and the negativity behind.
translation:
There will be no accountability for Republicans ever.
My first thought after reading this - they are all a bunch of lily- livered cowards.
We’re going to weaponize this law…by using it!!
Apparently, the Base (and getting “baser” every day) strongly approves of sexual assault on “uppity” women. Or any women. Don’t want to offend your own voters! I’d like to offer a word of thanks to former Gov Hutchinson. Whatever else he may have done, he’s right on this call.
And what a cat! Thanks.
If they had only known where that exclamation point was going to end up.
That’s what happens when you defend the indefensible.
It gets to the point where nothing is out of bounds. They’ve created their own reality.
“I’ve been pretty busy — I know there’s different stuff in the news,” he said.
Nothing is funnier than watching an asshole bully turn tail and run so everyone knows that underneath all the bluster and abuse he’s nothing but a self-loathing bitch.
The cowardice of the GOP continues…
That’s an insult to lily-livered cowards everywhere.
“Vote for me over Trump because . . . well . . . uh . . . you know . . . I’m not him. And, I think he was a great president and it’s no big deal about . . . uh . . . the stuff in the media I’m ignoring.”
Quite the campaign message.
Scamper?!? How about duck, dodge, prevaricate, evade…and so on. Scamper makes them sound cute.
Trump has made it impossible for them to stand up to him since he stole their base which is conditioned to follow the brashest and loudest voice. Something that Trump takes to naturally. So long as the base continues to idolize Trump, they can’t steal the base back because they can’t be bigger assholes than he is without turning the base against them for turning on Trump. And if they act like “beta cucks” around Trump, then the base won’t give them the time of day because Trump is the “alpha.”
They can’t attack him without alienating the base and they can’t suck up to him without undercutting their own justifications for challenging him for the nomination.
I prefer “slither”…
Fired up!
Ready to go!
ETA: Seriously, if I were any of these people, I’d get right to the point–show the crowds that meme of Trump yelling out the car window with the caption, “Get in, loser.” Then tell the crowd that he is indeed a loser: he lost the popular votes in the last two elections; most of his candidates have lost as well; the kinds of decisions passed down by Trump-appointed judges and the kinds of legislation being passed by hyper-Trump-ized state legislatures are deeply unpopular**. The tell them, Don’t get in the car with losers–especially that loser.
**except, DeSantis can’t afford to push that last one too hard
POI.
Party of Invertebrates.
I KNEW that E. Jean Carroll would get 'em.
Hutchinson’s interview by Stephanie Ruhle provided a contrast
