Please join me.

In blissfully watching the Republican party's panicked implosion at the growing probability that the Donald will be their presidential nominee.

Stayed up late last night watching their spokespeople, in deep shock, desperately pontificating about how Rubio could possibly eke out the delegates to win the nomination. They created the Donald problem and now they're stuck dealing with it.

The only thing missing was the popcorn.

That's something we can all agree on?

Its so beautiful.

I hope we see the same thing on our side eventually. I'm jealous. The repugs are going all in against the status quo. We should be too.

GO Bernie!!!

People have underestimated him at every step; don't make the same mistake.

He's tapping into a huge cross party wave of absolute disgust with a Washington that has been purchased by the 1%.

Imagine what he will do with Hillary and her $21,000,000 in "speaking fees" taken after she activated her SuperPac and started running for president.

50% of R's 50% of I and 20% of Dems = President Trump.

Ha can't do that against Bernie. Sanders will clean his clock.

And I think it takes an extremely peculiar view of reality to think that it is.

It used to be that people could bash Republicans with joy around here. I've been lurking, and sometimes posting off and on since 2003. But not anymore. It's basically Dem bashing 24-7. Sad.

"Donald Trump Has Got the Empty Suits at the RNC Sweating: Especially the Obvious Anagram, Reince Priebus." by Charles Pierce

Let's get right to it. The winner of the House Cup by acclamation this week is This Week With The Clinton Guy Shocked By Blowjobs. The show wins the coveted jug by lending itself as a platform to obvious anagram Reince Priebus, the emptiest suit in American politics and titular leader of a Republican Party that is currently treating him like gum on its shoe. This weekend, He, Trump won in South Carolina, thereby proving that nobody in Priebus' office knows anything, or has the kind of influence that can stop He, Trump from doing whatever he wants with the Party of Lincoln. Priebus now seems to be channeling Kevin Bacon from the parade scene in Animal House. Remain calm. All is well.

PRIEBUS: No, I don't think so, George. I think that if you look at all these exit polls on both sides of the aisle, I think people are just sick and tired of—of politics in general, sick and tired of Washington, DC, and I think just actually sick and tired of—of all the—both parties. So I mean I—I think it's just a general feeling out there that's real. I wouldn't deny it. But, obviously, all these, uh, folks are fighting to be the nominee and spokesperson of our party, um, and we're going to be there to support whoever that nominee is.


As though you have a fcking choice, Reince. If He, Trump runs the table, he's going to have you serving drinks on the helicopter in a French maid's outfit.
