I woke up this morning with a giant smile! The party to the right of us is collapsing

[Peacetrain]

in such a puddle of curdled pudding, and there is no one to rescue them.

They have done it to themselves by embracing the crazy. They knew it was crazy all along. Think about the outrage of those who ran against Trump in 2016.. I can still see them all in my minds eye from Lindsey Graham to Ted Cruz.. the breast beating and then the collapse as human beings as they embrace the craziness of Trump for power

I did not stay up late enough to watch the Huckabee rebuttal to the STOU.. but was so glad to read that even she understands that there is a real choice.. the Normal (Democrats) vs the Crazy (the new Republican Party).. who knew

1. While I appreciate you optimism, I am not sure that the Republicans are near death.

Perhaps it comes from being from Florida and watching my state goose step towards authoritarianism. Perhaps I should never have studied the rise and fall of the Third Reich, for I see history repeating itself and it scares the hell out of me.

Just the simple fact that Traitor Trump is, at this time, a viable candidate for the Presidency and that his main party opposition is sure to be DeSantis should be a wakeup call. A significant percentage of Americans want hate and chaos to rule, they believe that there cannot be both freedom and structure in the nation and that is the big problem.

The bottom line is that the Republican Party is going to run one of two criminals to lead the nation and that is troubling.

3. Keep up the optimism. It's better than consistent pessimism.

Since each is a choice and opinion.

4. Yup, the inmates have been let out of the asylum and are running the show.

5. "Curdled pudding"

[Peacetrain]

6. I know... I almost wish I had said curdled milk after looking at the pictures

of the right side of the aisle... It was not only MTG..

7. Curdled pudding is perfect.

It happens when it isn't properly cooked. That certainly fits the bill.

8. Democrats had a great night last night...

and I have a feeling we're going to have a great primary season.

9. It was wonderful

And the joy was palpable every where... The Republican party has become such a thing of gloom and doom and constant gnashing of teeth about one thing or another..
