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

surprised that isn't a super deluxe remix

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!!

whiniest bitch on the planet

tired of all this frog bs (other than you)

xxp

I admit as I was typing I was thinking "I wonder how frogbs feels about all of this"

Narrator: the Whistleblower Protection Act was signed in 1989.

hi, long island expat here. democrats have a shot at gaining king's seat. the party—new york's last remaining GOP machine—has been riddled by scandal (my high school student body president pled guilty to lying to the fbi!), people are increasingly sick of trump, and the demographics are just changing enough. it's not anything close to even money, but king only won by 15,000 votes last time, down from a 71k margin of victory in 2016.

the weird thing is, IIUC, king is personally popular. his retirement is a significant blow to their chances of holding that seat. is that right?

I got something they can hold

Read the Transcript. It is PERFECT!

I guarantee you none of those clowns have "read the transcript"

those guys should feel way more embarrassed to wear those shirts than they are

So nice when the night shift at Outback steakhouse shows up to do politics

those 'read the transcript' shirts are pathetic on a level rarely seen in American politics...I feel like you'll be seeing those pics in a history book some day

It's quite a feat to negate, through sheer awfulness, the deep pity your day-to-day existence might otherwise elicit. Their master has taught them well.

That's not the Outback night shift, that's the table of bros who sexually harass the 16-year old hostess working the Outback night shift.

dudes like that wouldn't last one night in a fast casual kitchen

Lol Neanderthal

hmm... I guess Outback is a table service restaurant

what's wrong with working at outback steakhouse?
