Nature Returns to Chernobyl


For those of you who had your memory degaussed by four years of Il Douche, this is what "normal" used to look like and why it is a place back to which no one in their right mind would want to return.

For example, here we find Mrs. The Federalist blaming us Libtards for the existence of Marjoe Gortner Green
Just as Andrew Sullivan, America's Most Ubiquitous Gay Tory Catholic Libertarian Conservative  Phrenologist Public Intellectual, blamed us Libtards for the existence of Trump's very own malformed H.R. Haldeman homunculus, Stephen Miller

Here is Politico insisting that "bipartisanship" = capitulating to the demands of Marjoe Gortner Green's party.
And if you've forgotten what this dynamic was like back in "the good old days", just Google, "Why won't Obama lead?" on the Twitter machine.


Here we have a "respectable" Republican using all of his weasel words to evade an obvious question about one of his psychotic fellow Republicans.
Back in the Olden Times we had several media outlets devoted to letting Republicans off the hook, the most prominent and successful of which was called "Meet the Press".  

Meet the Press was a real innovator in the field of Republican exoneration-by-avoidance by not only inviting "respectable" Republicans on to lie about whatever atrocity their party had committed that week, but cutting out the middle man and inviting the most malignant Republican sociopaths themselves onto the show, then not asking them any substantive questions:

Most frequent ‘Meet the Press’ guest in 2009: Newt Gingrich.

The net result of which was effectively laundering the reputations of the most malignant Republican sociopaths over and over and over again.  

The Gingrich Rules: Privilege Has Its Memberships 

And then, of course, there is the matter of Mr. David Fucking Brooks returning to his pre-Trump default settings.

The GOP and the mainstream press want 2015 back so badly you can taste their desperation in the air.  

Whether they'll get it or not is still very much an open question.

Sorry I cannot indicate how much I agree. I don't Chirp and avoid Farcebook. But also, you left out the "centrists" on NPR like Peggy Noonan who never met a Republican who couldn't make her swoon

So why has Ms. Greene not been indited for threats to a member of Congress? Particularly since those threats were before her election.

The Republican rendition (see what I did there) of why the democrats are the real socialists. I would like to see the republican version of the revised Marion Webster definition of the word socialism.

Ms. Greene isn't green, pick your own shade of grey. I know it's an insult to the shades of grey, but what are you going to these days.

Also, I believe (yes, it is my opinion) that BEAT The FLESH was the prelude to the opinionization of the news. Am I the only one who now sees the news shows made up of opinions of the news and little actual factual recounting (see what I did there) of the days actual news. Redundancy more than just a lifestyle.

Is not the bank robbing's gang m get away car driver not part of the gang and it's robbery"

Can this spot light that has been producing hundreds of excuses (that cannot seem to stick to the wall) and contradict each other .
Can this wave of truth and fact have continued longevity enough for them to run out of generalized GOP lies and leave them with the Jewish giant laser shaped like a menorah used to attack California and not Iran excuse to stand on as their last hill on bulshit mountain?
