“Fake Communists Booted From Arizona GOP After Donation Stunt”
Another entry in the things you never thought you would read category.
All Democrats are communists is a common trope on the right wing, so of course a couple of dim dums would come up with this kind of stunt. Hoist on their own credulity. I’m sure they were not really booted, just wrist slapped for embarrassing the party and told to try smarter next time. Not quite ready for project veritas.
I know it doesn’t matter in a sound bite world, but IF a “Communist” or “Communist Party” wanted to contribute to an election without a Communist Party Candidate, they would likely contribute to a Democratic candidate since that would be “as close as they could get” to similar interests, so this is just idiotic on it’s face, and not likely to have worked anyway. Sheesh
Better headline:
“Russian-Backed GOP Tries To Tar Anti-Russian Dems As Russian-Backed.”
Funny part, I don’t think the Russians did it this time. It is kind of home brewed stupidity on their part. I can hear the Russians, “We have standards.”
From each according to his derpbility, to each according to his willingness to violate campaign finance law.
The derpers control the means of derpduction
Finance director Lindsay Coleman immediately drove the money to the
local Republican field office and returned the jar to one of the men
involved in the attempted donation.
Now that’s a Lindsay with bite. Sen. Graham can go home and snarl at his hamster. Maybe it will pretend to be impressed.
I’m surprised local gop didn’t say, “boys will be boys, we’re not going to ruin their liiivvvves over a youthful indiscretion” and promote the volunteer to a paid position.
I guess they can still surprise me.
What this really shows is that the intellectual level of the GOP has fallen in direct proportion to its Trump/Tea Party-ification. It used to be that the GOP hired the best and the smartest staff, and would run circles around us (think Rove and Atwater). Now they are at the anti-intellectual level of Beavis and Butt-head.
I agree, the Russians would be horrified to be associated with this bunch of moronic amateurs.
The NRCC has a poll in the field to justify cutting off Wendy Rogers. They have 80 people bobbing in the water and only a few life preservers. Here is betting that Wendy doesn’t get one. The $39 in “Communist funding” is probably the last money she will see.
Agreed. The only thing holding them up is one sided power. If they lose that, they no longer have tools to work with. Nunes is a good example of what they would left with.
Nunes with no subpoena power = Hapless chump under investigation
totally off topic but I can’t shake this thought:
tRUmp as salesman of himself: 3.5 years selling the American public on what a great… he is, with a generous assist from russia, fox and the repubes = lower approval today than when he lost the popular vote in 2016 - pure genius
tRUmp as businessman: full power of US government behind him without repube congressional oversight, continuous violation of emoluments clause, and direct foreign government infusions of cash into his personal businesses, giving himself UUUUGGGEEE tax breaks = Forbes says he is worth less today than when he was sworn in less than two years ago - stable business genius
Democrats have been trying to neuter the repubes since the beginning of their shared history, what a waste of time, two years of trumpian repube government and the repubes are staring at an extinction level event - what a leader (of angry white men and subservient white women) to the bottom
life’s irony
SPECTRE The AZ GOP does not tolerate failure.
Stay away from piranha tanks, boys.
Have their names and photos been released yet? These two little shitheads should have to face the public for being un-American tools.
Dumbasses should have known that only republicans take communists’ money.
Well, there’s dumb, and then there’s really dumb, and then there’s Arizona Republicans.
“Fake Communists” is my favorite band after Radiohead.
