Irony Thick Enough To Insulate A Polar Outhouse


Here we find Charlie Sykes being gravely concerned over Republicans who are attempting to obliterate history and destroy those who would remind us of that history:


And here we find a sampling of Never Trump Republicans, including Charlie Sykes, reacting to a certain blogger who had the impertinence to remind them of the long, ugly history of their Republican party that led to Donald Trump:

All stories are not about you, drifty, and the oh-so-unfair way you have been treated.

I can see the Lincoln project boys tied to stakes and as the fire under them is lit they will all swear allegiance to the True Republican Party.

The hypocrisy of Sykes, et al. is always a valid target. And Driftglass specializes in GOP ‘history.’ “This is Arby’s, sir.”

I'm getting quite weary of reading about "We dare not put TFG on trial or send him to prison because his minions would do violence". Maybe. They don't tend to be particularly smart or brave. And we could take precautions. I had to grind my teeth every time Obama and Holder intoned "We don't want another Waco" during the Bundy bullshit. Nobody wants another Waco. But if it takes another Waco, or ten, or a thousand, to teach the lesson then that's what we do. Appeasement only makes it worse.

Many other sites to visit. Why are you here?

Drifty didn't make the story about himself. The story *is* about those holier-than-thou lying asshole mercenaries.

I wonder if somebody's astrology advice at the lunar eclipse said, "you've had all you can righteously endure now go shoot people."

Lunatic locked in lunacy.

Ms Moon darkens each Sign, in turn. This morning's particular combination -- Sun in Gemini when Moon transits Sagittarius -- whatever that 'means' -- it is the same combination the day Trump was born. Lunatic.

Born under a bad sign.

Just a coincidence. Doubtless; suavely.
Astrology is just verbal jousting and they can make anything up out of nothing. Or make anything sound like something else.

The only story he tells is about how unfair it is he didn't get that big gig on TV

Sometimes Charlie Sykes feels the need to put on a false face and fight for his nonexistent virtue in my comment section under the nom de guerre of "Unknown". Forgive him for this: after nearly 30 years as the combative "Rush Limbaugh of Wisconsin" Mr. Sykes is now far too fragile to face any of his critics directly, even when that critic is nobody blogger from the middle of Middle America.

Why would science denying QANON wingers disguise an out house like Dr. Who's transporting portal machine?

Do you know if they made it White male use only?
