Serious question: If you exorcise MAGA from the GOP, what's left at this point?  Mitt Romney and who else?  The Joe Strauses have retired.  The McCain's have moved on to the great congressional hearing in the sky.

Exorcising MAGA from the GOP at this point would be like trying to exorcise the fly from Jeff Goldblum:

It can't be done.  There's nothing left of the infected host to save.

I truly don't know how we get out of this, because we no longer have two political parties.  We have one political party, and one psychopathic death cult that is LITERALLY PROMISING TO END THE REPUBLIC TO INSTALL AUTHORITARIAN FASCISM.   This only ends in unspeakable pain and blood.

Patrick McHenry goes after Mike Johnson:

It would actually mean something  if they said “Either Johnson gets it together or we are going independent”.

I'm really thinking about voting in the R primary.

One of the people Dunn and Wilks are targeting is my local rep, Lynn Stucky.

Y'all remember Katrina Pierson? She got 50k to run against Holland.

And a little more recent

There was seemingly a flirtation with TX 06

And here we are today

Lynn Stucky. I have to vote for Lynn Fucking Stucky

It's fun, and in a red state, actually gives your vote some meaning in races that the R will probably win anyway.

I voted Roy Moore in the 2017 R primary because Mo Brooks was an angry little snow monkey, Luther Strange (despite being 8 feet tall and having a super-villain name) was a slick little conniver, and there was some other guy I forget because he bored me.

Moore was already proven crazy so I picked crazy for my personal entertainment. I figured he'd win one term then get frog-marched offstage after some national embarrassment and we'd get a very public Federal enema (which actually does help, I recommend it sometime.)

Little did I know that the ghosts of 14-year-old girlfriends past would rise up to crush Roy Moore under the granite slab of his own religiosity.

So yeah, have some fun.

Well, your voting choices are none of my business.  But if your next art show isn't titled, "Federal Enema", I will find you and punch you in the brain.

Philandering Ken Paxton keeps calling Dade Phelan "Drunk Dade."  Meanwhile, Ken Paxton endorsed Nathan Criswell, a wife-beater who violated a restraining order.  This is what Criswell did to his wife:

 His "endorsements" are a direct copy of Ken Paxton's, which means he's carrying water for Tim Dunn, which means for all his talk about limited government, he's all for an overreaching role of the government in the private lives of the citizenry. Plus, Michael Berry "endorsed" Donald Trump, a man who bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women and being able to get away with it because he's a star.

One guy in the election took on an active shooter. The other guy in the election took on his wife.

Which one do I endorse?!

Must really burn up Paxton that he can’t do shit about Cornyn, all the while Cornyn mocking him with the prison talk and maybe making a few people look into Paxton.

It’s a wonderful story and had massive potential to be a great film given the cast and director.  But “the Counselor” flopped as a movie.  The parallels, though, between Ken and the protagonist are substantial.  And of course written by a man who spent a lot of his life in Texas.  
 

ken is in survival mode.  And one doesn’t always make the best decisions in that mode.  
 

“it’s not a question of whether you’re going out at this point, counselor.  It’s a question of who you’re taking with you.”

I loved the Counselor.

Describing Cameron Diaz fucking a windshield like a catfish sucking its way up the side of an aquarium was some of Cormac McCarthy's very best writing.  RIP

Came here to post this. 100% pure awesomeness.  The response to Cornyn's tweet is almost 100% bots slamming him for being a RINO.  Same with Lindsay Graham's tweet in praise of Mitch McConnell.

I want to vote on the R Primary but it is hard when you are weighing the Paxton supported candidates vs the Abbott supported ones.

Paxton wants to get rid of anyone that supported impeachment. Abbott wants to get rid of anyone that is against his voucher scheme. Finding a candidate that was for impeachment and against vouchers means going to the Dem primary.  

Is there a place to look this shit up instead of reading the crap that comes in the mailbox?

thats how bizarre the times are.  haley is as solid a republican as they come, and she has to run as a third party?  trump is the third party candidate.

Guess Nikki will need to be elected first before rules and laws don't apply.  Of course they didn't apply to Dotard before either, or he wouldn't have been allowed to run based on paying a prostitute, therefor compromising him in the first place.  Oh but what are we going to do.

Republicans are now in the purging rolls portion of the election timeline now.  Will this be handed back to the state rights again?

Hell, I still think there's a good chance Haley winds up Trump's VP candidate. It would likely help him with some in the "Never Trump" camp, I bet. All she has to do to get back in his good graces is to say everything said prior to that was just typical campaigning. Trump loves people who love him. That's all she has to tell him.

We'll see. I'm expecting worst-case scenarios at this point. She could help him in the general if they can make up. Trump's a whore. He'll do it if he thinks it will help him. I also don't think very highly of Haley either. I could see a scenario where she decides being Trump's VP is better than nothing at all. And she would't be the first "mortal enemy" of his to do a complete 180 when you least expect it.

I don't know. Romney pathetically tried to beg his way back in and Trump told him to get fucked. And that was for a cabinet position, not VP.

Back in 2016? Things are much different for Trump now. The stakes are WAY higher. He HAS to get elected however he can. If she can help him, he'll welcome her back provided she publicly bends the knee(s).

I'm not saying it will happen. I'm only saying it would not surprise me in the slightest -- you know, this timeline and everything.
