With apologies to Chris Rock: Republicans always want credit for some shit they supposed to do.

You know the worst thing about Republicans? Republicans always want credit for some shit they supposed to do. A Republican will brag about some shit a normal man just does. A Republican will say some shit like, “I cooperated with the investigation” You’re supposed cooperate, you dumb motherfucker! What kind of ignorant obstruction of justice shit is that? “I ain’t never colluded with Russia!” What do you want, a cookie?! You’re not supposed to collude with Russia, you low-expectation-having motherfucker!

Republicans love to NOT know. Nothing make a Republicans happier than not knowin the answer to your question. Just ask a Republican a question. Any Republican! “Hey, Republican, who was the president right before Obama, the one who lied us into war, crashed the economy, allowed the use of torture and was rewarded with a second term by a Republican majority?” “I don’t know that shit! Keepin’ it real!” Republicans love to keep it real… Real dumb!

Why Rural America Voted for Trump

Why Rural America Voted for Trump

“The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe people are fundamentally bad, while Democrats see people as fundamentally good,” said Mr. Watts, who was in the area to campaign for Senator Rand Paul. “We are born bad,” he said and added that children did not need to be taught to behave badly — they are born knowing how to do that. “We teach them how to be good,” he said. “We become good by being reborn — born again.” He continued: “Democrats believe that we are born good, that we create God, not that he created us. If we are our own God, as the Democrats say, then we need to look at something else to blame when things go wrong — not us.”

That’s not actually what Democrats believe.

Donald Trump’s Lies Versus Hillary Clinton’s Lies

Donald Trump’s Lies Versus Hillary Clinton’s Lies

When Hillary Clinton gets pressed on her somewhat slippery answers about why exactly she decided to use an off-label email server, she ends up looking evasive. She looks and acts like a normal human being who’s been caught out in an embarrassing situation. She’s admitted that she did the wrong thing, but she also doesn’t think she should suffer any consequences for it. It’s not a great look.

Trump, by contrast, is shameless. What’s his plan for ISIS? It’s a secret. If the generals are so dumb, why would he ask for their plan? He’ll get different generals.

Trump hasn’t learned. He doesn’t know basic facts about the world, and he doesn’t care. The question now is whether the American people will.

This sums it up. Hillary is basic political spin. She’s not even that good at it. Trump is a nutter detached from reality.

Milania’s Speech

I don’t care one bit about the speech but the actions of the Trump campaign after the speech are fascinating. They started by stating that Milania wrote the speech. They denied the initial plagiarism charge. They claimed that other speeches had used similar sentences before. And they ended it by blaming a speechwriter.

What’s fascinating is the incongruity of the claims. Milania wrote the speech, but is was someone else fault. Also, there was no plagiarism that was someone else fault.

And they don’t care. They are immune to cognitive dissonance.
