Wingnut Wrapup

Well, five weeks in, and here is what we have: A traitorous President in league with a foreign dictator The most corrupt President ever, openly using his position for personal profit An uncontrollable, vicious liar A level of incompetence and disarray in the White House that is almost impossible to comprehend Savaging of the most basic rights of American citizens, such as the right to travel openly without government permission. So, what do the wingnuts have to offer to try to turn people's attention away from these multiple abominations?  Let's dive in and take a look. and here is a good place to start.  I swear to God this is something I actually read on a right wing website yesterday: The Resistance:  "FBI Issues Warrant For Obama’s Arrest After Confirming Illegal Trump Tower Wiretap...Former president and breaker of laws, Barack Obama, will either surrender himself or be picked up by the FBI sometime today to be booked and charged with unlawful use of autho...

Tomorrow is a travel day for me, so I thought I'd get this out today. And off to the races!  What a time we're having; aren't you excited to see how they try to lie their way out of this one? Donald Trump, President of the United States: "This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine."  Right, Donald. Matt Vespa, Town Hall:  " NYT: Trump Aides Had Contact With Russian Intelligence, But No Evidence Of Collusion Found" If you are a totally brain-dead wingnut.  Otherwise, the evidence is everywhere, Matt.  And Matt gives the whole game away later in his article: "None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier." We are talking about pee pee gate here, just to be clear, not high treason.  No evidence for the golden shower story, according to Matt.  The evidence for the rest of it is right in front of your face, but is apparently not important enough to worry about.

A bunch of stuff from the last few days that I need to shovel out there, in preparation for the Flynn freakout that is going to get into high gear any moment now. Today's Wingnut Wrapup respectfully dedicated to St. John McCain, who had this interesting perspective on history: "I wouldn't describe any operation in which American soldiers died as a success." How about D-Day, John? And on we go...Let's start out today with one of the most inscrutable analogies I've heard in a long time: Alan Keyes, Renew America:  "Christian living may be like a relay race in which team members run the course side by side (instead of seriatim), passing the baton from one to another and back again. The goal is to cross the finish line without losing a soul, and without leaving behind anyone willing to join the team and run in good faith. " Huh?  If the goal is to have everyone cross the finish line together, it isn't much of a race, is it?  Why not sto...

Wingnut Wrapup- Special SMOTI Edition

So, it turns out that the Trump administration has just given press credentials to attend daily briefings to Jim Hoft, the legendary Stupidest Man on the Internet, or SMOTI as he is known far and wide, and a fixture in virtually every Wingnut Wrapup I have written over the last ten years.  I thought I would assemble his output, just from the last six months of Wingnut Wrapup, minus a handful of mentions that were so topical that they wouldn't make sense any more.  I've included the replies I made to him, because, I guess, I'm just that kind of malignant narcissist.  So, here we go! Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "CNN Quietly Releases Updated Pic Showing Trump’s Inaugural Crowd Size Greater than Obama’s 2009 Inaugural Crowd" And here it is, from the Stupidest Man on the Internet: A photo from the Capitol, in which you can't see a thing past the reflecting pool, of the mall itself.  Man, these people are into lying to themselves. Jim Hoft, Gateway Pund...

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA!!!!!

Green Eagle is pleased to be able to bring you this important announcement from Breitbart today: "Exclusive — The Spirit of America: Conservative Grassroots Leaders Plan Massive Pro-Trump Demonstrations Nationwide... Conservative grassroots leaders are planning a series of massive pro-President Donald Trump rallies nationwide, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. On Feb. 27 and March 4, the rallies—dubbed the Spirit of America Rallies—will spring up nationwide in cities and towns across America...These rallies, organizers say, are meant to be a peaceful show of force from the “silent majority” that delivered Trump a landslide electoral college victory over failed Democratic president Hillary Rodham Clinton."  Well, let's just get this out of the way first.  Trump did not win a landslide victory, and Hillary is only a "failed Democratic President" on some other planet. Anyway, pointing out the obligatory Breitbart lies out of the way, let's deal...

Man, this has been painful lately.  I found some of this stuff and then couldn't even bear to look at wingnut websites for days.  Sorry, but here I am, at it again. Jonah Goldberg, Town Hall:  "'America first' Isn't a Trump Creation" No, it isn't.  As I remember it was popular in the 1930's among people who supported Nazi Germany. And now, what passes for humor on the right: Finally, American workers are going to be safe from 76 straight months of job growth. Christine Rousselle, Town Hall:  "House Votes To End Taxpayer Funding of Abortion" Something that ended in 1976.  Next:  House votes to end slavery.  House votes to go to war against Spain.  House... well, you get the idea.  Glad to know that the House Republicans are using their time well. Tyler O'Neal, PJ Media:  "President Trump Promises 'Major Investigation' into VOTER FRAUD" Just like the 'major investigations' into Benghazi and Hill...
