Wow, passed over by FAUX News, Mark?

Not blond enough, I guess.

Sad…

This endless string of conservative “think tanks” exists for one reason and one reason only - to preserve the unimaginable wealth of the people who fund them.

A networking platform for conservatives?

Too scared to leave the RWNJ bubble and enter the real world, or did the real world laugh at your resume???

The differing infrastructures of the two parties explains their respective positions.

The Democratic Party’s infrastructure?

Basically nonexistent.

That means most Dem operatives, if they leave politics or say something stupid that gets them pitched out, are on their own and have to find jobs in the economy. Sure, there are the plumb jobs like David Plouffe got at Microsoft, but their number is limited.

As for the Republicans, they have a vast, organic infrastructure supported by a seemingly unlimited number of billionaires. One can fuck up, say something outrageous, even incite insurrection, and one will always get a paycheck for the rest of one’s life in some bogus institute or foundation.

That may be one of the true reasons that cements most Republicans’ SS-like loyalty to the party, come what may.

DeMint, who serves as CPI’s chair, described Meadows as “one of the most widely respected conservative leaders in country,”

Don’t buy a used car from these folks.

Nice how you can fail into a good paying job in the GOP. They will never let one of their own go without.

So, Meadows has transitioned from a taxpayer paid liar to a RWNJ, privately paid liar.

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

I wish them joy of each other.

PLEASE let’s stop calling them conservatives, which they’re not? We’re still losing the framing game and letting them define the terms. They’re reactionaries, fascists, anti-republicans, anti-democrats, authoritarians, theocrats, corrupt, thugs, anything but that which they’re not. Trying to destroy democracy and spreading vicious lies is NOT conservative.

Turds of a feather, and all that.

I’ve been on this flat earth for almost 64 revolutions of the Ye Almighty Sky Turtle crossing the crystal ceiling up high. I’ve done things I am ashamed of, I’ve accomplished some good, too. But, I always review current and future actions and decisions through a prism of experience, education, and a sense of what is right and what is very, very wrong. Regardless of the temptation, I avoid the latter to my best ability. I can sleep at night, as a result. (Even sky turtles must rest)

How can these GOP mostly bags of hot air and water live with themselves? How can they, with a straight face, continue to push falsehoods, lies, and dangerous conspiracy theories? I simply cannot understand how they can continue without massive internal strife and self-analysis, and regret.

Anyone here have any ideas - how do they do it? Do they practice auto-lobotomization on weekends, removing the last remnants and shreds of shame, respect, and honesty? Is there some GOP camp where they hypnotize each other, and convince themselves facts don’t matter anymore? Are they on drugs?

If so, please share. On second thought, don’t share. Medical marijuana works just fine.

Well, it’s hard on them, too. They cry all the way to the bank.
