There's a reason why Repub./ Fox suddenly for mask wearing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

They changed their posture practically overnight because Karl Rove warned them they could lose the election
unless they became anti-Covid, sez the twittersphere.

Apparently Rove is still a thing with them, albeit being low profile.

[a kennedy]

1. Ya mean ham head still has power???

[underpants]

4. It's a sign that they need help

and they know it.

[erronis]

9. "ham head"? I thought W called him "Turd Blossom". Both work.

I'd actually like to hear W's favorite terms for the oranganus. Anybody have a list started?

[trof]

18. turd blossom...that's what W called him.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. You need the illustration

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. OMG........I had completely forgotten about that!

Seems like yesterday. I joined DU because of Bush, and by extension, Rove.

[BumRushDaShow]

24. Colbert was (and still is)

a master at his craft.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. That looks more like a Spam head than a ham and that's appropriate.

Spam Rove.......

[BumRushDaShow]

27. That or as others mentioned in the thread

[leftieNanner]

2. Karl Rove???

Anybody else remember him scampering out of the booth in a panic to check the numbers when they called Ohio for Obama??

He thought they had Ohio rigged - oops!

Can't believe they are turning to him for help.

[Salviati]

7. They'd be better served by consulting his saltier alternative:

[guillaumeb]

8. They need his expertise in cheating. eom

[Horse with no Name]

3. They are also relying on amnesia

We were always for masks....except when they weren’t

[Under The Radar]

5. Rove is the Republican James Carville

A realist that they all respect and mostly fear

[pwb]

6. Rove pops up along with death.

Deaths in high numbers are coming to the unlearned fox and talk radio red states. It is sick the people they are killing with politics and calling it a hoax for four months.

[erronis]

10. Guess we're about to hear from insecticide-Delay, trenchcoat-Abramoff. Grinch is already spouting.

Sad when the washed-up dregs of lobbyists and failed operatives are given any air time.

Can't trump/repugs get boner or ryan to endorse them? Wonder why not.....

[LuvNewcastle]

13. I think Ryan will pop up again later.

He saw that the GOP was going to self-destruct and got out to save his political hide. He's always been ambitious. I expect to see him back in the House or maybe the Senate when it's time for them to rebuild their fractured party.

[safeinOhio]

15. He has been working out.

Getting ready for a race.

[Wounded Bear]

11. If only Repubs could recycle resources as well as they recycle operatives...

[whopis01]

12. Yep. They realized the great power that Trump has

to drag them down with him.

[Baked Potato]

14. Trump delivered tax cuts and judges. Time for some compassionate conservatism.

[Person of Interest]

16. When Turd Blossom speaks....

Republikkklans listen!!!

[yaesu]

17. When the racists found out covid hit black Americans the hardest they were on the air the next day

demanding the opening. Freedom works, fox & trump.

[BlueIdaho]

19. Too little, too late.

The bone headed Trumpers have their marching orders and are out there throwing tantrums and pitching fits about their “freedoms” and their beautiful god given lungs and they just can’t deal with a change in tactics.

Trump and his acolytes have blood on their hands and there’s no putting the pandemic horse back in the barn.

[keithbvadu2]

21. They had to kill 125,000 before they saw the light?

[debsy]

22. Rove was instrumental in getting Bush the "win" in 2000.

And, let us not forget, he was the "mastermind" of the strategy to bring one party rule to the GOP. Of course, they have accomplished their goals by "legalizing" cheating (gerrymandering, voter suppression, Citizen United, etc.). Don't expect them to roll over and die when they are so close. They have filled all open federal appellate judgeships, are hoping to have Clarence Thomas retire so they can appoint yet another Supreme Court justice, and they have transferred trillions of dollars to the uber rich. They are going to pull out all the stops and play their best Toccata and Fugue in D minor and - if we become complacent - they will cross the finish line and achieve autocracy. We need to pay very close attention to EVERYTHING they are doing and saying and cut them off at the knees every time so they cannot advance their agenda any further.

[malaise]

25. Yep - they can see the polls

America is against them
