Remind Me Again, Who Gave These Mopes The Conch?*


Have you noticed how Republicans are always willing to sacrifice other people's kids to their own, failed political fantasies?

Have you noticed how Never Trumpers are still trying to con their audience into thinking that if we could just catch Republicans lining up to support Trump commiting one more crime, or one more act of treason or spewing out one more monstrous lie...then we could torch 'em!  And all our Never Trumper superiors require of us stupid Democrats is that we behave flawlessly at all times, and never put a foot wrong!  


On this subject, Nichols really went all-in.  Mounting his high horse Contrarian Indignation and riding it all the way out to where Jesus lost his sandals.  You and me, kiddos, we're just like MAGA.  

So, are we still supposed to ignore the Never Trumper's open, seething contempt for us and never never say a discouraging word in return because something something the enemy of my enemy is something?  Is that ridiculously one-sided deal which we never agreed to still in force?



Hey look!  A two-fer!  One smug, contrarian asshole reposting another smug, contrarian asshole.



Simply posting his own fury and contempt for us stupid Liberals obviously did not slake Nichols' thirst for shitting on us.  He hadda go scrounging for other people to tell us how terribly wrong we are.


Hey look!  Another two-fer!


What a coincidence!  I had just left a lecture by Tim Miller about how our ridiculously high Liberal standards and ridiculously stringent Liberal litmus tests are holding us back...


I get the strong impression that ol' Tom would have relished the job of being an asshole contrarian judge writing dissenting opinions on the Nuremberg court.  "Ladies and gentlemen, the actions of these Nazi judges were in complete accordance with Nazi law, which were enacted by the Nazi government.  To hold these men accountable for their actions would be a slap in the face of the sacred idea of the Rule of Law!"


From the undisputed king of bad political advice...


From the shoutiest shouter of shitty political advice...


And, inevitably...


This is just a small sampling of what the Never Trumpers who have colonized the media are saying about us and about our president.

Because you know the corollary to the No Fair Remembering Stuff rule, right?



On the one hand, it would probably be rude and uncivil of me to reiterate for the hundredth time what an act of incandescent idiocy it was to hand over what little is left of the "Liberal" media to a small handful of recently-former Republicans who had previously spent their entire professional lives hating our living guts, opposing everything we believe in, and building the very same Republican monster factory that eventually drove them out of their own party and onto MSNBC.

Instead of, y'know, promoting actual Liberals who have actually been right about the Right all along.

On the other hand, I have never pretended to be anything other than  rude and uncivil.


No Half Measures



*In case you don't get the "conch" reference.

I love to read your pushback on these never-Trumpers, but could you try to have your screenshots of their idiocy in better focus, or maybe a little larger so that they are readable?
