Well, Rudy got the AZ Legislature.

Giuliani COVID-19 diagnosis closes Arizona Legislature

The Arizona Legislature will be closed all next week after at least 15 current or future Republican legislators may have been directly exposed to COVID-19 by meeting with Rudy Giuliani.

:thumbsup::D



In all fairness though, he didn't close the AZ legislature. It's not in session and cannot be called into session without a supermajority and while the GOP has a majority in the AZ legislature it is not a supermajority. They go back into session in January.

Which is why populists typically struggle if they actually succeed in taking power. They are good at promises, easy solutions, and proposing things no one else want to back, but once asked to actually lead, they typically lose popularity quickly.

Another reason why Trump's continued popularity, and 74+ million votes, is so baffling. I know his supporters live deep in post-fact Trumpistan, but you'd think a quarter million dead Americans would be enough to turn people away from him.

They are leiving in another reality, one promoted by FOx News and other Right Wing Media.
They automatically reject any thing negative about Trump as beind lies from the Deep State GLobalist controlled MainStream Media.
Also, Trump tells them what the want to hear;That the only real Americans are of WHite European descent, and America has been taken away from them by the N words, the Spics, and the Chinks, and only Trump can restore White Supremacy. None of this is said in so many words, but it lies, disguised by euphemism and dog whistles, at the heart of Trump's appeall.
 
it's a clear sign of insecurity and immaturity.

It's not really possible not to be patronizing when the others side talks and acts like teens in puberty.

I suppose I should confess my sins; I did say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" in a proud manner back when Obama was prez. What do you think of my chances of getting a pardon from Dear Leader?

Incompetent, arrogant, science denying, hubris, it's everything.
Trump and his moronic minions are totally incapable of treating a real crisis.

He, and the US, were "lucky" for three years, and then a crisis came, with a vengeance.

Another possible explanation is that they actually believe their hoax nonsense. That said, I'm inclined to agree that hubris pretty much covers it.

The thing is, though, a quarter million deaths are a quarter million deaths. I'd have thought it'd make them highly critical of Trump and everything about him, period. But apparently not.

Right.
Imagine you were in Jonestown in 1978. And imagine you stopped someone with a request for them to answer questions. If the reply is “sure, just let me finish this Kool-Aid* before I go over there to lie down.” Then there is no reason to be surprised that you can’t get them to use objective, provable facts and logic to believe something bad about Mr. Jim Jones.

It doesn’t matter if 250,000 US deaths or 2,500,000 US deaths are reported. Once they have drunk the juice, no number is going to shock them back to reality.

FFS, there were folks in the Dakotas on ventilators who were told that they had a couple of days to live and they vehemently denied that they had COVID and were about to die from it.

Right. Stalingrad is lost, the 6th army is gone, and the army is forced to "tighten the front", but we are totally winning the war.

*6th army, not 9th.

The latest news about Rudi gives me cause for a lot of suspicion. Pure conjecture, but I suspect that this is just a ploy so that he can escape from providing his always "soon-to-drop mountains of evidence" and then later claim that the COVID prevented him from proving Biden stole the election.

faking a stroke is a tried-and-true way to get out of the mess you made, after all.
I've been using it since I was six!

Given the competence of these morons, we'd know about this in about 1.5 hours.

Trump, the only man on earth who likes cucumbers.. apparently.

"After segueing between various topics, Mr Trump told the crowd at the rally: “Blueberries, peppers, squash and cucumbers. Who does cucumbers around here?”

He added, as the crowd cheered: “Because I like cucumbers. I’m the only one. I like cucumbers.”

...and what, pray tell, does he do with said cucumbers ?

Reminiscent of his little kerfuffle with a Sharpie and a weather map, just because he didn't want to admit making a mistake, Trump brags about a weapon that doesn't appear to actually exist (Business Insider via MSN)-



The man is a hypermoron.

I doubt any country is ever going to make trade deals with a Republican President in the foreseeable future: this disdain for fact makes honest negotiation impossible.

I think they might be less inclined to deal with a Repugnican in any particular effort, but the damage which has been done is much worse than that.

What has been made evident is that the U.S. cannot be expected to bargain in good faith because any time there are Repugnicans in power then any agreements made in the past are deemed worthless, that there is no continuity of honor or commitment.

I don't know how long it will take for the U.S. to rebuild what the last four years of Repugnican destruction of its reputation has ruined, but it won't happen with one Democrat in the White House, or even two ... or three.
