US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

Peter King represents Long Island, not Staten Island. His successor will still be a knuckle-walking goon, of course.

Did someone say... Buttafuoco?

Peter King stood head & shoulders above everyone else

He’s been principled & never let others push him away from his principles

He’s fiercely loved America, Long Island, and his Irish heritage and left a lasting mark on all 3

I will miss him in Congress & value his friendship https://t.co/GSXizZ2c5D

holy shit Chuck

above everyone else

above...EVERYONE else?

he definitely believed he stood head and shoulders above migrants and refugees, that's for sure

Yeah when you advocate torture it's a good idea to be head and shoulders above the people you're torturing.

struggling to work out what leaving a lasting mark on his irish heritage means tbh

I wonder, when the party inevitably splits in two somewhere down the road, which side will get/want to keep calling themselves 'democrats'.

Peter King always struck me as a behind the scenes villain's hapless proxy mayor in a Batman movie.

Peter King is an Islamophobe who held McCarthyite hearings targeting American Muslims, said “there are too many mosques in this country” and blamed Eric Garner for his own death at the hands of police.

Good riddance. https://t.co/cYZOrnaK2M

She back

take notes Chuck

is politics local

Her timing is exquisite.

struggling to work out what leaving a lasting mark on his irish heritage means tbh

Being a big supporter of the IRA, I guess?

Making it harder for women to get birth control...is all i got

Also is Chuck aware that Peter isn't dead

Like he just retired, you don't gotta lick his balls with that faux bipartisan reverent tone thing u do

It's of the utmost importance that a public which only knows a politician on the basis of his shitty politics also be made aware of what an awesome golfer and Tex-Mex chef the representative in question is.

It's like going on the Yelp page for your brother-in-law's abysmally-rated plumbing company and regaling the haters with paeans to the dude's model car collection. IE, who the fuck cares.

“You can shoot me but you’ll have to kill us all. Something”

WTF was that??

That's next month's title sorted early

surprised that isn't a super deluxe remix

Hamlet: (parenthetically) Something.

That's very "fool me once ... won't get fooled again."

Did he mean like "Isn't that something?"

For anyone who cares about this stuff

Thread: The booing of Charlie Kirk, Don Jr, and Kimberly Guilfoyle by alt-right activists was the culmination of a month-long campaign that received no press attention.

xpost I think he meant like '(*squints in vain at word he either can't read or can't pronounce on the teleprompter*) Something.'

I assume Trump will shortly label this Trump-appointed Judge a "Never Trumper"

The article from the tweet thread caek posted: https://thebulwark.com/the-alt-right-turns-on-the-gop-establishment/

I am staring at this bit and I may not recover:

Fuentes and his allies are portraying themselves as “true conservatives” who are fighting against a corrupt and secular GOP elite that cares more about billionaires and Israel than the millions of white Christians who voted for them. Even Pepe, who once served as the alt-right’s amphibian mascot, has been replaced with Groyper, an obese cartoon frog that has also become the term by which Fuentes fans refer to themselves.

King’s district voted both times for Obama and he won his last reelection by his narrowest margin in awhile with 53% I believe. Probably saw the writing on the wall for 2020.

amphibian mascot

he was a guppy?

All context aside, when you begin to refer to yourself as a 'Groyper' it's time to consider precisely when you made a wrong turn and if it's too late to course correct.

why are these dudes obsessed with frogs

i think king would have held on but he probably resented having to spend money campaigning for the first time when he could be lobbying

The alt-right is a very small pond in which it is easy to be a big frog. If the GOP establishment succeeds in absorbing the alt-right, those frogs know their position as leaders with followers will end. They must figure it is better to stay at the front of a very small parade than shuffle along behind a larger one.

maybe so, but the premise of that thread is that equilibrium is breaking down

groyper for presidetn

I assume that they're all just waiting for the kiss of a princess to reveal their true and magnificent form but I'm afraid I have some bad news for them.

Fuentes

Ha, that's the kid with the prematurely-aged voice who had to leave BU after Charlottesville. Previous discussion: the alt-right

I guess he has his own frog faction now.

Wasn't Alex Jones obsessed with frogs, too?

I'm not sure, is "frogs" a code-word for steroids?

Or a pill that makes you 10% redder overnight?

Anyone remember like a decade ago when all the hormones in our water supply were supposed to be turning our frogs gay or something? Is that something to do with this? I'm so confused.

whats wrong with frogs

That weird Trump clip reminds me of:

I love the RHCP and Anthony Kiedis is so hot and i hate all you fuckers who diss them but shot all the people who like them!!
