FAFO

 

He FA'd and definitely FO'd, or is it F'd A and F'd O?

Whatever...

Have a good weekend. 

Profiles In Spinelessness

 

Mitch bows to MAGA.

Jeff Sharlet (via Rick Perlstein): "One Of The Mistakes People Make Is They Say 'It Doesn't Look Like European Fascism In 1936'"

 

"That's because it's American Fascism in 2024." 

Well, You Tried

 

Haley receives a participation trophy. 

I suppose it's kind of good to have a nominal opponent of TFG. If nothing else, it gives the elite media an excuse to publish a few some-Republican-voters-disapprove-of-fascism stories. 

Whether they follow through come November is, well, what the stakes are. 

These Boots Were Made For Walking Away

 

DeSantis points to his poll numbers...

Meatball Ron never had a chance, but was still nice to watch him implode like the Ocean Gate submersible, and would've been fun to have a bit more schadenfreude before the plug was pulled. 

Oh well. 

As expected, he turned lickspittle, endorsing TFG even as he bowed out. 

One-note tribute acts are no match for the real thing. 

Others have commented on how the elite media fell all over themselves presenting DeLoser as Trump-minus-the-negatives, which tells you a lot about them. I'll just point out, again, that the GOP base is  full MAGA--they LIKE TFG. 

As to the rest, well...will they put country above MAGAfascism? Guess we'll find out.
