President Biden yesterday criticized the GQP over their wacko attacks on Disney, saying the “far right has taken over the party.” Via CNN:

“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden said at one point on Thursday, later adding: “It’s not even conservative in a traditional sense of conservatism. It’s mean, it’s ugly. I mean, look at what’s happening now in Florida: Christ, they’re going after Mickey Mouse.”

Dammit- That's the way to go - Lovin' my Joe

1. K&R

[TreasonousBastard]

2. This is definitely not the Republican Party of my parents or grandparents. Those Republicans...

looked to the future and only argued over the best way to meet it. Assholes like Trump and his asskissers were outliers.

[DENVERPOPS]

46. The Republican Party of our parents and grandparents

had many "Statesmen". There are none in the Republican Party now........

I think it was Lincoln that is quoted as saying:

"A statesmen is interested in future generations, a politician only in the next election"........

[Magoo48]

56. This Republican Party is a strong, organized, corporate-backed fascist movement with real power.

They are out to end Democracy and nothing less.

[peppertree]

3. Having to hear Repugs go on about how Mickey's ears "actually represent the Devil's horns"

can be enough to make you have a Donald Duck fit.

[IronLionZion]

7. Donald Duck doesn't even wear pants

that must be proof of something. Then how can Goofy talk and have a family while Pluto is a pet. They are both dogs

[peppertree]

10. "They are poisoning our children's minds!!"

"Not like our great, God-fearing President Trump!"

[IronLionZion]

13. Deplorable

[niyad]

21. I wonder how his sycophants get around this skin-crawling pic of pedo-in-chief

and his daughter.

[sop]

31. I mean, just look at that pic. What sort of father takes a photograph of his teenaged daughter

in a short dress, kissing him on a bed while he plays grab-ass and leers into the camera? And it's not the only such image, I've seen others.

Who does that? Only a pedophile.

[IronLionZion]

40. The party of removing the marriage age in Tennessee

and wants to normalize child brides.

[Wuddles440]

55. The American Taliban!

[noiretextatique]

37. He *really* likes Ivanka...a lot!

[DENVERPOPS]

47. There are a whole bunch

of pictures of "daddy" and Ivanka that are even more nauseating than this one.

Several of the pictures show his hands on Ivanka in places that no one would ever touch a young girl, much less a daughter, grand daughter or niece.....

[Backseat Driver]

35. Ummm...FYI, if you don't already know, about Donald Duck's naked untanned bit:

[IronLionZion]

39. Tucker knows the importance of sunshine down there

[Marcuse]

41. I hate when that happens.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

57. That's good!

[niyad]

23. Please tell me that you are joking about the ears.

[NNadir]

4. I love the President as he rises to the American tradition of...

...a great President following a disastrous one, but this sarcastic remark alone would lead me to love him.

[Oppaloopa]

5. After living here for years I am betting on the mouse.

[IronLionZion]

11. I would be fine with them nailing Trump to the cross

[soldierant]

51. And also tying him to it

as was sometimes done because people kept sliding off the nails Sometimes they even skipped the nails for the hands/arms and just used rope.

The actual cause of death was asphyxia. Nails in the hands or arms didn't reallt contrubute to that, but nails in the feet might slow it down while also making it more painful as the victime would raise himself up to draw some breath but would not be able to sustain that position for any amount of time.

[AdamGG]

53. Let him suffer for our sins instead of the other way around

[robbob]

12. They are going to make a big deal about taking the lords name in vain.

Just watch…

[robbob]

24. Totally in agreement...

But their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

[Initech]

9. Hey Mr. Biden, please blame the source of this insanity: Fox News.

They're mad that they lost their plaything by not having Trump in the White House and now they're acting like spoiled toddlers who don't get a toy while their parents shop at Target.

[Ocelot II]

14. They went after Mr./Ms. Potato Head and Big Bird, too.

You'd think they'd be too busy irradiating their junk to spend all that time hating on cartoons and children's toys.

[IronLionZion]

15. They can give themselves cancer through cooking their balls

it's the next logical step after drinking bleach, shoving UV lights inside them, eating horse paste, and drinking their own urine.

[Ocelot II]

18. Becoming sterile would be a good outcome, too.

[wnylib]

20. The Onion could never top that.

Thinking back to my high school Civics classes in the 1960s. Nobody would ever have believed it then if someone had said that the Republican Party would end up like it is today. They would have said, "Yeah, sure. Let me have some of what you're smoking."

[packman]

26. Don't forget the Tele-Tubbies

Especially that purple one


AND The Wiggles -

[llmart]

54. Also, Teletubbies...

It was because the purple one was supposed to represent gays. Or some such nonsense.

[malthaussen]

16. Disney is on the side of the angels this time...

... but in general, I disapprove of the special status they used to have in Florida.

[halfulglas]

19. The mouse is going to hit back hard.

Let's sit back and watch the show. The mouse is way older than DeSantis.

[sop]

33. Mickey's high-priced lawyers are busy drafting the complaint as we read this. This bill won't stand.

[Ray Bruns]

34. My money is on the mouse.

[wnylib]

22. Gives new meaning to the phrase "Mickey Mouse stuff."

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Hannity put up a picture of Donald Duck glowering at his nephews, and..

...a cooked turkey on their table. Naturally, the question he asked was the one on everyone's lips...are Disney characters cannibals?

First place my mind went.

FML


Further...I would love for Joe - and everyone, in fact - to be using the word "regressive" instead of "conservative."

[ancianita]

28. Biden is totally right about The Ugly. The 1,001st reason to donate to Val Demings!

[KPN]

29. LOL. Love it. Go get 'em Joe!

Joe Biden has always been a scrapper, that's for sure. That's one reason why TFG was so afraid of him. No question in my mind. Joe is the right guy in the WH in these dangerously bizarre times. He's not perfect, but he definitely won't be pushed around ... and he hits back which is exactly what needs to be done when faced with fascist bullies.

[melm00se]

30. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

and this will continue until the pressure is off Disney. Once folks here remember how much of the media landscape the rat owns, opinion will turn against them.

[Joinfortmill]

32. He says what we're all thinking. Love that about Joe.

[Hekate]

36. Loveya, Joe

[C Moon]

38. That is awesome! It's so FDR or LBJ! Go Joe!!!

[OMGWTF]

42. CALL THEM OUT! EVERY DAMN DAY!

[Initech]

45. Agreed!!!!

[hamsterjill]

43. We need more of this!!!

You know…comments that represent sanity!

Go, Joe!

[Emile]

44. Never thought I see the day when Republicans attacked Mickey Mouse.

Just when I think I've seen it all, some crazy right wing shit comes up again.

[myohmy2]

48. +1...

...

[Evolve Dammit]

49. Deplorable. H was right and understated. Fucking, racist fascists would have been more appropriate.

The "vast right-wing conspiracy" was spot on thirty years ago. Reagan, Newt, Norquist and thousands of "helpers." Like Rush and Murdoch, Bolton and Stone. Just mentioning the most prominent agitators. Thousands more. This has been decades in the making, and we are on the verge of civil war if DOJ doesn't get their shit together. Get rid of Wray, and Garland is on very thin ice if we want to remain a democracy. DO SOMETHING. If you don't, suck it up and enjoy a dictator in 2024.

[Cha]

50. KR TY!
