Kemp Censured By Two County GOP Parties Even After Signing Restrictive GA Law | Talking Points Memo

I swear, Republicans are getting stupider by the nanosecond.

I’m not sure what censure of someone who is actively working to secure your party’s unfair advantage is supposed to even mean.

Suffice to say that they’re “more conservative than Genghis Khan”…or something.

The Republican Party is now the Donner Party.

Bon appétit!

As per Charles Pierce, the “prion disease” is prevalent in these people.

O/T but when I worked in a bookstore just out of college I accidentally (?) entered the title of a history book of that ill-fated expedition into the database as “A History of the Dinner Party.”

By all means, Republicans everywhere, please continue with your intraparty efforts at destruction. It’s so entertaining.

The fratricidal fight within the Republican Party won’t be vicious everywhere, but several Republicans in Georgia are “going to go through some things.” The same is true, as I see it, in Arizona, and probably in Ohio, where the Republican state legislature has worked to impeach Republican governor Mike DeWine for paying attention to public health, and where the upcoming Republican primary for the Senate seat will be an important indicator for the Republicans in the state.

There are opportunities for Democrats in all of these places. Let’s keep donating to Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight and like-minded organizations.

Overheard in a restaurant: “Donner, party of 87!” The dessert menu was atrocious.

But instead of discussing GA wingnuts, why is this story completely absent from TPM?

And who told Georgia Republican voters that the election was crooked, leading them not to vote in the Senate races? Just wondering.

That’s better than me. I thought that “Donner Party” was the subtitle of Reindeer Games.

But yeah some bleeding heart idiots tell us that democrats ought to reach out to rural white voters. Fuck them, we ought to teach them what “pulling yourself by your bootstraps” is all about.

All of this confirms my opinion that with Republicans, more than Dems, that they set themselves up to eat their own. There are people in this Trumplican party that love to point out their purity, while condemning their own members for following the law.
They really should just change their name to “Can’t Fix Stupid Party”.
