First, a quick refresher on your favorite cult and mine, the Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair:
Longtime readers know that "The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair" is my shorthand for inbred Conservative meatsticks who have wallowed in wingnut Hate Radio racist dung and Fox News Liberal Conspiracy claptrap for so long that is has become the quotidian argot of their wretched lives. It is their tavern-talk -- their worst, paranoid delusions, externalized, validated, tarted up as The Unvarnished Truth and then regurgitated back to them by ghouls and treason-mongers like Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly... which are, in turn, passed around again like so many fish stories, getting bigger and wilder and truthier with each iteration. It is the shit they eagerly rub in their hair -- the shit which, year after year, they sculpt into ever more elaborate pompadours because everyone else in their dingy, lightless corner of Universe is doing it and they lost their sense of smell 40 years ago.They preen over each other. They are happy in each other's company. They praise each other on the little, individual touches with which they have customized their Shitheap Toupees -- an extra layer of Benghaaaazi, perhaps, appliqued over something something the New Black Panther Party because ACORN!.And all is right with the world...right up until they leave the cocoon of their Wingnut Pig Sty and step into the normal world, where they are Shocked!Shocked! that ordinary people flee from them in horror....
This is the distinctly Republican trait that just drove a stake through the heart of the administration of President Stupid.
See, for the last half century or so, the Republican party has kept two completely different sets of ideological books.
There was the racist, paranoid, Democrats-are-gun-grabbing-baby-killers, media-conspiracy red meat bullshit they fed the bigots and imbeciles to get them to the polls. This has been the electoral rocket fuel of the GOP (and the bread and butter of Fox News and Hate Radio) which Republican party leadership and the Beltway media have consistently dismissed as either irrelevant or nonexistent.
And then there was the real agenda which the leadership of the GOP and the Conservative movement carried out on behalf of the men who wrote the checks. This is the agenda of court packing, gutting regulations, massive tax cuts for the rich, killing the social safety net, etc.
Then along came Trump: a pure grifter and sociopath who didn't even bother to pretend to care about the party establishment's second set of books and instead went all-in on the juicy, crazy, toxic, racist bullshit the GOP has been feeding its base under the table all along. This is how he won the hearts and minds of the rage-drunk meathead base and why they remain nearly 100% dog-loyal to their Dear Leader to this day.
(By the way, this is not a new observation. Unlike every Never Trumper out there flogging a book about how Trump corrupted their awesome party, I've been writing about the depraved GOP base since I started blogging 14 years ago.)
What the Republicans got when they nominated and elected Donald Trump was the Chieftain of the Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair. Someone who has been so steeped in treason and lies and corruption for so long that his rotting brain can no longer comprehend the difference between right and wrong. Cannot understand why he should have to hide anything because everything he does is, by definition, awesome and beautiful and completely legitimate. This is what decades of letting Limbaugh and Hannity take a shit in their skulls has trained every wingnut to believe without question. That whatever they do -- however grotesque and insane it may be -- is automatically praiseworthy and brilliant because they believe it.
Because their peers praise them for it.
Because they dine out on each other's madness and regurgitate it back into each other's mouths.
Which is how it came to be that the entire Republican Party -- from the very top to the very bottom -- is now irreversibly mad. And so, given this condition of self-reinforcing lunacy, why wouldn't their Dear Leader strut around on live teevee bragging about the thick, luxuriant, treasonous shit with which he has pomaded his hair.
Because in the eyes of his demented followers, it is actually quite beautiful.

And besides...it's no like they can't all just throw their MAGA hats into the same backyard burn barrel that still contains the warm ashes of their Bush/Cheney 04 lawn sign and their dog-eared copy of Going Rogue.
Because we all know the "Fuck Your Feelings" couple will be Independent Constitutional Conservatives who never heard of Trump turning Humanity up to 11 to listen to how Trump was a Democrat who hacked the Republican Primary process to steal the nomination and the new Democratic President (Insert Name here) is the worst evil super villain AND most incompetent lout to even hold the office...two weeks before that person is even inaugurated.
I heard the comment that trump let the transcript out simply because the Ukrainian president was worshipping him in it. Therefore it was an excellent conversation that everybody needed to see.
Now that's an image. The fake president's followers topping their poop toupees with their MAGA hats. And they wonder why normal people find them repulsive.
Sorry...... It was the Meatstick comment that did it. Don't blame me.

The saying , "everything in Texas is big". Except Trump's hands.
Which makes me curious.
When Trump proclaims, he has a big Brain".
How does it match up to Brain in Texas?
Did he measure Rubio and Pence's brains and compared his to them as the size base line?
