Just Take A Minute To Fathom This: Trump Is Threatening To VETO a DEFENSE BILL Because... [View all]

...he's throwing a hissy fit at TWITTER for flagging his comments.

That's right. There's a Republican President who is holding America's NATIONAL DEFENSE HOSTAGE until Congress punishes fucking TWITTER for hurting his little FEEWINGS!



I'll tell you what, Republicans. Don't ever claim to be the party of national security again! Just don't even BOTHER with that bullshit again.

Oh yeah...and unless 'family values' now includes getting your ass spanked by a porno movie star with a FORBES magazine, while your third wife is at home nursing your kid, you can just knock THAT bullshit off, too!

The Republican Party, in the age of Trump, has finally revealed itself to have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEOLOGY. Free trade...blah blah blah...family values...blah blah blah...fiscal responsibility...yadda yadda... FUCK OFF! You HAVE NO IDEOLOGY, NO MORALITY, and NO PRINCIPLES. You don't even believe in DEMOCRACY anymore. You liked it when democracy won elections for you. Then you liked the Electoral College better, when you started losing on numbers. And now that you're losing on BOTH numbers AND the Electoral College, you just want the Supreme Court, or a hand full of State legislators to just THROW OUT election results, altogether. Just support ANY convoluted formula of anti-democratic machinations that Mark Levin, or Greg Jarrett can claim is 'constitutional,' as long as it lets YOUR 'side' win.

You don't believe in ANYTHING anymore. You're strictly a TRIBAL PARTY, like Saddam Hussein's 'dead enders' in Tikrit. You support the Republican Party because it's the party of white rural America, and THAT'S IT.
