Surreal Moments in Debate Performance- Florida Edition

One of the greatest bits of theater of the absurd, courtesy of Florida Governor Rick Scott:



Scott is already doing a poor job of running for re-election, as befits an out and out criminal.  It was a sign of the stupidity of Florida's voters that he won the first time, but the mainstream press has already signaled that if he loses this time around, they will blame it all on this four minutes of non-debate, rather than the fact that he is a corrupt monster from a party of corrupt monsters.

Oh well, give it a look, it's pretty funny.

Update:  Here's the headline of Town Hall's coverage of this story:  "Charlie Crist Violates Debate Rules, Forces Debate Delay."  That's their story and they are sticking to it.

"It was a sign of the stupidity of Florida's voters"

This is Florida we're talking about. As any readers of Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen can tell you, Florida is the closest place on earth to Bizarro World. (Some readers of the late Molly Ivins might claim that Texas deserves that distinction. I'll stick with Florida.)

One gets a sense that, in Florida, being honest would be a hindrance in trying to get anything done, and only a corrupt monster can accomplish good things, even if it's merely by accident. There's no need to blame stupidity for Rick Scott's being governor when sheer weirdness will suffice.

Zog, you can have both- stupid weird people. Otherwise known as the Republican base.

Hey GE, off topic style question.

Since I am weird (and probably a little stupid too (but definitely not a Republican)) I've finally gotten around to using this picture to prove it.

If it's too much let me know and I will (try to) restrain myself.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
