Gaslighting and agitprop is all the GOP have but, as long was the they can get away with it – corporate media I’m looking at you now – it’s clearly a strategy that remains effective.

“The House Republican Conference, currently chaired by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), did not respond to TPM’s request for comment.”

Ha! Lizard Cheney, the spawn of a shooter! Is she from the left or the right?

“White nationalism and racism are pure evil and cannot be tolerated in any form,”

I eagerly look forward to the GOP sharing this message with rank-and-file voters, as soon as they clear it with the head of the Republican party.

Unfortunately, the GOP has absorbed the Trump ultimate strategy, blame everything that they are responsible for on the Dems. Its called group projection.

The most depressing thing about this is it will work on both a large number of people and most of the MSM.

“Rep. Gus Bilirakis’s remarks do not represent the views of the national Republican Party, since he omitted the Gay Agenda, feminazis, fluoridation, chem trails, murdering and raping Mexicans, Hillary’s email server and Comet Ping Pong Pizza, Benghazi, tax cuts, and the Socialist Kenyan Muslim Usurper’s tan suit”, responded Rep. Liz Cheney, as she chewed on the left arm of a barbecued immigrant child.

All the more reason for the Trump Party to pass sensible gun safety laws to keep them damned violent lefties under control, right?

So now the line between left and right is somewhere between Nazi sympathizer and full Goebbels? Did not know that.

I’m not so sure about the mainstream media. Most Republicans, sure. CNN, ABC, CBS, WaPo, etc., have been regularly calling these lies for what they are: Lies. Not everything, of course (there’s so much every single day!), but they’ve been getting their licks in. Even The NYT. That said, I do wish they’d cancel their contracts with half their idiot “conservative” opinion writers. Hugh Hewitt, WaPo, comes to mind, and a few others.

However, I’ll give credit where it’s due. On this, we’ll see. I hope you’re not correct here.

If the Left actually started arming themselves with AR-15s and open-carried them on a regular basis, Republicans would be calling for removal of the second amendment.

Yeah. Go with this, guys. Sounds like a plan.

While you’re at it, blame the Kennedy assassination and Watergate on Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar.

I just had to look at the title of Thiessen’s latest to know how bad it was:

China does not have the upper hand in Hong Kong. Trump does.

I always like to read the comments because the skewering is delightful reading. Maybe he should try comedy. He’s unintentionally good at it.
