Good lord.  This scheme to implement an autocratic presidency is playing out just like the Star Wars prequels.  Kennedy even looks like Jar Jar Binks.  If we’re going to be stuck with a tyrant, couldn’t he pick a better film to rip off?

Trolling and mocking the mothers of murdered children.

Please know I’m thinking thoughts of how I’d love to have those odious assholes experience the horrors those mothers have experienced.

And I dare any of the remaining few posters here who still attempt to defend the garbage that is the current Republican Party to explain this disgusting display.

Putting aside the mean-spirited mocking symbolism of the pearls (though it'd be funny to ridicule the other meaning of a "pearl neckless), what is it with Republicans and their dependency on symbolic trinkets like badges and pins? Look at the Sheriff Clark guy from Wisconsin and his fake badges or the obsession with flag lapel pins.

I mean, understand that it's likely rooted in military tradition - kinda like how boy scouts have merit badges (no disrespect to that org). What's interesting to me is the psychological/social value they feel they gain by wearing them. Not really sure what I'm getting at here. It's just an observation of their own kind of "virtue signaling," a concept they seem obsessed with mocking.

Looks like those pearl wearers also partied with our favorite Russian honeypot.

And the assholes are now trying to spin this stunt saying they wore the pearls as a gesture of support.

Yeah, pairing it with a rifle lapel pin while hearing testimony from the mothers of children murdered by FUCKING GUNS screams “We support you!!”.

Seriously, how does that crooked toothed, flabby jowled, plastic haired, foghorn leghorn wannabe , soulless, degenerate, pernicious, malignant reprobate look himself in the face and not just put a gun in his mouth to rid the world of the flagitiousness he leaves in his wake.

Yep, let's boycott Girl Scout cookies because........AOC

 

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/conservative-calls-cookie-boycott-aoc-used-girl-scout/

 

Quote

A conservative columnist celebrated International Women’s Day by attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and calling for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies.

Former sportscaster Jane Chastain, who became the first woman to call an NFL game in 1974, warned in her WND column of the informal March 8 holiday’s socialist origins and association with the United Nations, and she suggested the event had corrupted the Girl Scouts.

 

Quote

The conservative columnist complained the organization no longer promoted God and country, but instead focused on self-confidence — and she was infuriated the Girl Scouts had boasted of a certain alumnus who was recently elected to Congress.

 

Quote

“In fact,” Chastain wrote, “the Girl Scouts are celebrating the victory won by their alums in the 2018 midterms on its website, beginning with their star, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who attributes much of her success to what she learned as part of this organization.”

 

Quote

“Now Girl Scout alums make up 72 percent of female senators and 60 percent of the women in the 116th Congress,” she said. “Although the website tries to strike a bipartisan tone, it is no accident that, among this year’s freshmen, Carol Miller is the only Republican, and she is much older, 68, than the rest. Her training in scouting was well before the feminist takeover that occurred in 1970.”

 

Quote

Chastain made a few widely promoted — but false — claims about the Girl Scouts, Planned Parenthood and a so-called “global agenda,” before invoking Ocasio-Cortez again to divert girls to the explicitly religious conservative American Heritage Girls.

“So before you decide to embrace an International Women’s Day celebration or buy the cookies, ask yourself, ‘Will the country be better off with more representatives like the young socialist Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez?'” Chastain wrote.

Personally, I think GS cookies taste like dirt.  

But their sales are for a good cause and teach life lessons, so I always buy a shit ton and do the troop donation thing.

Why does Jane hate the troops!!!!

Woah, let's hold on just a moment here.

I might be able to eat my considerable body weight in Tagalongs if given the opportunity.

https://www.cjonline.com/news/20190308/white-linen-restaurant-bans-lawmakers-lobbyists-after-altercation

Quote

The owner of a downtown Topeka restaurant says he banned a group of high-ranking Kansas House Republicans and Statehouse lobbyists for being disrespectful to staff and other patrons while dining at the business.

White Linen’s manager and owner describe a boisterous scene that intensified in response to directives to the 12-person crowd to be quiet and the manager’s decision to cut off the flow of alcohol to Rep. Blaine Finch, a Republican from Ottawa and speaker pro tem.

Quote

The altercation at the fine dining restaurant, which is two blocks north of the Statehouse, unfolded in the early evening hours of Feb. 27 after lawmakers wrapped up business for the first half of the legislative session.

“They showed up and just started drinking and drinking and drinking,” said White Linen owner Adam VanDonge.

He said Finch was served five old fashioneds in a 90-minute span. Also in the group were House Speaker Ron Ryckman, R-Olathe, Rep. Susan Concannon, R-Beloit, and lobbyists Dan Murray and Rachelle Colombo.

 

Quote

Kris Van Meteren, a former executive director of the Kansas Republican Party and adversary of Ryckman and Finch who works for Singularis Group, a political consulting agency, said the incident generated a lot of discussion in GOP circles.

“People expect better than that of their elected officials,” Van Meteren said. “Is it newsworthy? I think it probably is.”

White Linen’s manager, Cassidy Merriman, said she made an exception when she allowed the large group to dine that night. The restaurant only seats 25 and appeals to those seeking a quiet date night or anniversary celebration. Parties larger than six typically aren’t accepted.

 

Spoiler

Merriman said the group was rowdy enough to upset those dining at other tables. One pair who left told Merriman they couldn’t hear each other speak.

Merriman asked the group to lower their voices. After she left the dining area, a server reported to her that a person in the group was obviously drunk and giving a toast to everyone in the restaurant.

The manager, who has 10 years of experience in food service, said she asked Finch to step into the hall. She told him the toast was inappropriate and explained she wasn’t going to serve him any more alcohol for a while. She encouraged him to drink some water.

“I was just doing what I had to do as a manager,” Merriman said.

In the hallway, she said, Finch was polite. Back at the table, the mood turned. The servers could hear members of the large dining party cursing. A person with the party went into the kitchen and began yelling at the sous chef.

Merriman called owner VanDonge, who was at home.

“She’s just bawling,” VanDonge said. “She’s in tears. She can’t hardly talk on the phone.”

VanDonge arrived as the group was leaving and confronted the lawmakers and lobbyists. They accused Merriman of being rude, VanDonge said, but “everyone knows she is not like that.”

VanDonge said he got worked up about it. They were dropping “F bombs,” he said, and disputed whether liquor laws applied to the situation. Someone said to his wife, a Washburn University law student, “I think it’s cute you’re in law school, but you’re wrong.”

Someone else asked, “Do you know who this guy is?”

“I’m just like, ‘I don’t care,’ ” VanDonge said.

He told them they were banned from returning.

Finch declined to explain what happened that night.

“I’m not aware of anything happening,” he said.

Ryckman’s spokesman, Eric Turek, said no one was drunk. Concannon said management was rude.

The incident compelled VanDonge and his wife to reiterate the restaurant’s alcohol policies in a Facebook post that evening. They will refuse to sell alcohol to individuals who are visibly intoxicated and not on their best behavior. They hope customers will understand their effort to maintain an inviting environment.

“We look forward to serving you,” they wrote.

Concannon and Murray both replied in comments that no longer appear.

“Look forward to serving me?” Concannon wrote. “No way! #cassidycancel”

“The customer is always wrong,” Murray wrote. “Would love to share the full story.”

In an interview, Murray said no one in the group behaved inappropriately.

“Absolutely not,” Murray said. “I’m disappointed this is even a story.”

VanDonge said he offered $50 coupons to other patrons who were dining that night. He and his wife support Merriman and her actions.

“They came into our restaurant and completely disrespected everyone,” VanDonge said.

On a five-star scale, the restaurant averages a rating of 4.9 in Google reviews and 4.8 at OpenTable. On Yelp, every rating is a 5 except for one by Susan C. on March 2, who wrote: “Extremely rude management is not worth tolerating for the good food.”

In a Friday news conference, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly was asked whether legislators involved in the restaurant clash should face some form of discipline.

“I believe in the separation of powers. That is the legislative branch,” Kelly said.

Van Meteren, the veteran political consultant, said lawmakers should be forthcoming about the incident. If a proprietor takes action on social media, he said, it is a mistake to “duck the issue and say nothing happened.”

“Nobody wants to see their elected officials behave inappropriately,” Van Meteren said.

The chicanery simply doesn't stop with these assholes. Greg Abbott filling courts with GOP judges whom voters rejected:
 

Quote

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has quietly been stocking courts across the state with Republican judges freshly rejected by voters, employing one of the strongest powers of his office to stem the erosion of the GOP’s decades-long dominance in the state.

In the three months since the worst election night for Texas Republicans in a generation, four of Abbott’s last six judicial appointments to fill key court vacancies have been former Republican judges who lost their 2018 races. One was elevated to the Texas Supreme Court just weeks after being voted out of a lower court in Houston.

Texas is among a handful of states that hold partisan elections of judges from lower-level district courts all the way through the highest appeals courts. The ability to fill vacancies is one of the strongest tools of the governor’s office.

Falwell Jr. and his wife appear to have simply "befriended" a then-21-year-old pool attendant while the husband and wife were staying at the ritzy Fontainebleau. They then welcomed the pool attendant into their lives, began flying him around on a private jet, and even put up millions of dollars to help his business ventures. Falwell and his wife have appeared in Facebook photos eating at Macchialina with the pool attendant — a Florida International University graduate named Giancarlo Granda, who now lives in Washington, D.C., and attends Georgetown University.
