Turns out the lion-slaying douche dentist killed himself a forty-five thousand dollar elk in California six years ago. At this point I’m guessing his fellow trophy boys are wishing he’d never taken up their hobby; they can’t be enjoying the spotlight.
And yet RWNJs insist the hunters are the real victims.

Is anyone else troubled by the fact that David Bliss is coaching college basketball again (NAIA, but still), but Abar Rouse is still, last anyone heard or cared, working making aircraft parts?

Hegel writes somewhere that all great historical events and people appear, so to speak, twice. He may have added, “the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.”
I kinda like Howard Fineman, but this is disgraceful

#RedState #ErickErickson has more cojones than most of GOP candidates combined. Graham & Perry deserve credit for calling #Trump out early
.
“early”… after his years of birtherism, and after all the Hispanic (and he was never talking about Canadians, Irish or Australian kids working in bars and resorts all over the country) bashing, but when he went after John McCain. That’s “early”
@efgoldman: No, but The Donald says all this loud and proud and is not afraid to bypass the dog whistle routine and say it in plain, unmistakable wingtard venacular.
The teabaggers eat that shit up. They so want to call B. Barry Bamz a ni*CLANG* without the *CLANG* they can taste it, and they want their heroes in the public spotlight to say it.

The Donald says all the crap they are thinking PLUS he points out how the wheels fell off the bus when they let their ideology get in the way of governing.

I was disappointed when I learned that the Lena Headey scene in Game of Thrones was CGI too.

@Villago Delenda Est: I drove past the house of a Trump supporter today. He was an old guy, sitting on his porch, apparently very fond of spray paint. He had a Trump sign he spray painted himself, and a Bernie sign with a slashed circle spray painted over it. He’s probably still mad that the government hasn’t gotten out of his Medicare.
Yeah, farcical indeed. (Unabashed pimping, but thematically relevant.)

Self-plagiarising a comment from Alicublog:
For a couple of decades now, rightwing political culture has been pushing the idea that Randian psychopathy and narcissistic neediness are the ideal personality types. So wealth obtained through chicanery and grifting is the truest proof of character. The MBAs who clamber to the upper echelons of a company because they are narcissists, destroy it because they are narcissists, then fail upwards to a better job elsewhere to repeat the process, are the people you should choose as leaders. “Alpha males”. And so on.
Part of that promotion was Trump’s TV shows, where Trump polished his persona as a sleazy opportunistic vulgarian braggard, while viewers were invited to (a) envy his psychopathy while he walked over people out of whim, and (b) admire his mastery of style over substance, bluster over accomplishment.
So Trump has been rehearsing his role a lot longer than any of the other candidates, while the Republican base have been trained to applaud him. That is why it’s so entertaining when Johan and the rest of the NRO bleat that “Trump’s popularity will vanish as soon as he opens his mouth and our base realise that he’s all bluster and opportunism and vulgar display.”
@efgoldman:
He’s almost a poster child for Cleek’s Law, which is part of the reason the TeaBaggers love him – living vicariously through his screechings.

If everything is farce and 90 percent of everything is crap, how long will it take to get to Chicago?
