Also, if von ShitzInPants is a participant there must be a cut-off for his mic whenever he employs patented interrupting and talking over the other candidate.

I agree. Just substitute the audience with canned laughter like a sit-com.

That is debate in MAGA circles. Lots of people were surprised that the GOP decided in 2020 that Trump was their platform. In retrospect it was an entirely accurate representation of GOP beliefs. Insults, blather and audible attacks while the opponent is supposedly using their time to speak. For us olds remember when Al Gore was attacked because he grumbled during GWBs recitation of lies.

The MAGA Party • Nebraska Examiner
The Douglas County Republican Party held its regular biennial convention on April 6 to elect members to its central county and state committees, and to choose delegates to the state convention.
As a former Douglas County Republican Party chairman and state party official, I have participated in many of these conventions over the years. What makes this year’s convention different is the wholesale takeover of the party by an organized group. These efforts are not new. When I was chairman we faced similar efforts by other groups including those supporting a single candidate or issue. These groups were able to elect their members to party positions but were unable to accomplish a complete takeover of the committee and party structure as did supporters of former President Donald Trump at this convention.
I believe this is part of a national strategy by certain Trump supporters to take over local parties and to exclude anyone not a Trump supporter. This effort is described in detail in “Finish What we Started,” by Isacc Arnsdorf, describing an organized national effort based on interviews with Trump adviser Steve Bannon and others.
There is of course nothing wrong with organizing to elect party officials; it is what partisan politics is about. The problem in this case is in the result:
- It defeats the fundamental purpose of a political party, which is to elect its members to political positions. This requires the party to nominate and support candidates who have broad support and have the best chance to win election. The rise of the MAGA movement has resulted in the party endorsing candidates who are challenging the party’s incumbents. We can see this happening now. The county party has rescinded its endorsements of current Republican incumbents: Don Bacon, in the 2nd Congressional District, and Pete Ricketts in the Senate. The party also voted to censure Don Bacon.
The party’s endorsed candidates have no hope of being elected, which flies in the face of the party’s fundamental purpose.

Evidently not. Or, judging by legislative output, not much at all.

Tony should start a band called “The A. Blinken Project”.

What an odd coincidence that Trump surrogates who attend his trial come out and use the exact same talking points, nearly word for word, that Trump used previously to violate the gag order.

Isn’t it puzzling how many Trump administration functionaries look like Nosferatu?

To take that a step further, I’d like to see voters eliminated from elections.

In light of what we’re doing to aid Israel in their attempt to seek “retribution” for the Hamas attack, this was a stupid stunt.
