GQP Proves “We Can Do Whatever We Want And No One Can Stop Us.”

The Icarian Posted on March 8, 2024 by adminMarch 8, 2024

The GQP sent several powerful messages this week proclaiming “we can do whatever we want and no one can stop us.”

On Tuesday in California, disgraced former baseball player, deadbeat dad and political nonentity Steve Garvey won a senate seat for GQP without a campaign and without a single campaign ad.

Adam Schiff -- Put his career over public good

Adam Schiff — Put his career over public good at time when Dems could ill afford it, screwing the party’s ability to control the Senate and House.

Adam Schiff’s cynical political play to pit Barbara Lee and Katie Porter against each other played directly into the GQP’s hands and helped Garvey mightily. Anti-Garvey campaign ad “he’s just too conservative” ads turned out to conservative catnip and actually helped energize the nearly moribund state GQP and brought them back to life.

Schiff’s selfish and cynical strategy essentially gave control of the senate at a critical moment to the GQP, made it more difficult, if not impossible, to retake the house and screwed the state Democratic party up and down the ballot by reenergizing the GQP.

Thanks Adam.

George Santos. Yes, he’s back and more popular than ever among CONservos. Proven criminal George Santos was prominently displayed at the STOU. He’ll run again.

The GQP loves its criminals and its criminality. Lies and cheating are the way the GQP rolls since it’s the only way they can actually win.

‘Bama Sen. Katie Britt responded to the STOU from a kitchen, symbolic of where the GQP think women belong. We couldn’t see her feet, so we don’t know if she was also barefoot.

And the tRUmp’s takeover of the GQP party and, most importantly for him, all of its cash, was completed with the installation of his henchmen in all major areas of control. The alleged political party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of tRUmp/Putin Inc. Meanwhile, tRUmp had a peptalk and cuddling session with leading fascist mastermind Viktor Orban, who is helping the former guy and his followers turn the USA into Hungary II. The GQP’s political plans are a near exact carbon copy of Orban’s successful democracy crushing strategy.

Don’t Be A Sucker – yet we have so many and another is born every nanosecond.

The Icarian On Mastodon

I can’t explain how hard I’m rooting for the yotes. Spin up an HOA. Claim adverse possession. Seize more territory. Just keep going.

When you frame it as “well I’m paying Scholastica a few hundred bucks so that other people can tell me my ideas are trash” it kind of completes the masochistic cycle.

Why aren’t pickoff attempts just balls?

Can I just ask, and, I mean, if this has already been answered then I apologize. But the “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon” stuff. What does that have to do with bombing energy targets? That little reflexive defense of escalation, is there any thought behind it at all or nah?

Okay but just answer the question, have we tried injecting the troops with the fluid drained from POTUS ankles?

I want someone to do a deep dive on a photo of an ICE agent and tell me what currently-in-bankruptcy mall store he bought his “tactical” “gear” from. I just know some of that stuff came with a free ninja star.

Cannot recommend writing based on findings from instrumentation you built. When you’d ordinarily be able to just say “this clown didn’t think of xyz,” you remember.
You’re the clown.

Welp the elixir has once again worn off, as it always does. Blackburn, enjoy your return to the scrap heap sir.

The weird social convention with suggesting a meeting is you’re never really asking people if they want to have one, you’re jumping right to whether they’re available.

Prefer the win to a loss but a little freaked out the Bednar is getting hit now.
