Kevin McCarthy is the dimmest of dim bulbs. He’s also a damned liar.

Just after McCarthy ended the press conference, Trump tweeted his thanks for the GOP leader’s remarks.

Audience of one.

And also this, from the party of Lincoln:

Yeah, sure. Lincoln. Pull the other other one, it squeaks. Department of Fixers.

how were Trump’s tweets racist? Let us count the ways. I’ll start:

  1. Used the schoolyard taunt of telling someone non-white to go back where they came from which carries an intended implication that non- whites do not belong in this country.

“Party of Lincoln” that believes “in the content of the individual.”

I am a little thick with lack of sleep, so can someone explain what he meant by the content of the individual?

He was knee deep in bullshit. That’s all. He doesn’t know what he meant.

I believe he meant to say that he is dumb as a brick. It seems that is always what “Hold My Beer” McCarthy means … whatever he says.

Poor Kevin. Despite all he does for his discriminated Cherokee relatives, the stupid Democrats don’t understand that this is about the “beliefs of ideology”, i.e. word salad. Of course, Bakersfield was the home of the western branch of the KKK and Oildale used to have a sign at the city limits that said “no ni#***rs and no Okies”. Problem was Okies couldn’t read. Where does he think the Wallace Democrats went when the GOP ceased to be the party of Lincoln.

Gotta take my walk. Every day more weird and stupid than the previous one. It’s like a perpetual motion calamity wrapped around a debacle inside a fiasco.

Hide, idiot! Say nothing and hide!

It’s like mosquitoes flying towards a bug zapper. They’re awful, they’re mosquitoes, but the lack of self-preservation makes the hair on my neck stand up.

And you know, Kevin, you know he won’t protect you. Won’t lift a finger for you when you need it most, even if it costs him nothing. You all have to know this by now.
