Cont: The thread for stupidity from GQP politicians who don't have their own thread Part II

"If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that post.

Hegseth is brazening it out at the moment doing the usual MAGA thing of insisting that the well known facts are simply wrong and that everyone is out to get him - exactly as Trump does. As long as he continues to do this, Trump has no need to get rid of him.

Exclusive: The White House is looking to replace Pete Hegseth as defense secretary

The White House has begun the process of looking for a new leader at the Pentagon to replace Pete Hegseth, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly. This comes as Hegseth is again mired in controversy over sharing military operational details in a group chat.

The defense secretary is under fire after revelations that he shared classified information in a group chat with his wife, brother and lawyer, according to the official.

Republicans see economy improving? How? How are they improving their states if in congress? The tax cuts will not revive what tariffs broke.
But 83% of Democrats and 54% of independents see the economy getting worse. Among those believing the president's policies will have a positive impact, 27% say it will take a year or longer. However, 40% of those who are negative about the president's policies say they are hurting the economy now.

Its no longer about facts, it's all about "feels".

The majority of Americans were better off at the end of Biden's term than they were at the start but the changes were marginal for most people so they didn't feel better off and they'd been bombarded with messages about how expensive everything had become. Rises in prices are remembered, rises in income are forgotten.

People who believe in Trump and his administration will feel that they're better off - especially if the media they consume tells them that they are, or at least soon will be.

If you have to resort to facts these days, you've already lost the argument.

Won't matter where her emails are now. Her ID alone could easily give access to a clever hacker...someone from, say, Moscow or Beijing or Pyong Yang may be able to do it. So yeah, typical MAGA playbook - being a useful moron for Pootie.

Remember Rep. Al Green’s Cane? Republican Congresswoman Claims, Without Evidence, ‘There’s a Gun In There,’ Calls the Black Man a ‘Boy’​

Click to expand...

It was a signature moment of the Democratic resistance to Donald Trump as he began his second term: Longtime Texas congressman Al Green frantically waving his cane, jeering the president as he delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress in early March.

Green was eventually escorted from the chamber after ignoring repeated requests from House Speaker Mike Johnson to sit down. He was later censured by the Republican-dominated House.

But some Republicans just can’t seem to let go of Green’s protest. Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert, who tried to shout down former President Joe Biden at his 2022 State of the Union address, said Green didn’t need the cane to walk, adding, “If that gold-plated cane isn’t a pimp cane, I don’t know what is.”

Now, another GOP lawmaker, Tennessee Rep. Diana Harshbarger, is claiming the cane is just a prop to conceal a firearm. She also seemed to disparage her 77-year-old Black colleague by referring to him as “boy” in an interview with a conservative Christian podcaster Booney Crawford.

The two were discussing how members interact behind the scenes when talk turned to the Democrats’ response to Trump during his March address.

“Is it like, you know, like here locally, or I guess it’s everywhere, where attorneys will get in a courtroom and they’ll fuss and fight with each other, but as soon as it’s over, they go out to dinner, have coffee, whatever?” Crawford asked in a recent interview.

“Well, Lord Jesus, they make money that way, too,” Harshbarger replied. “They get up and rant and rave and tweet, or X, or whatever it is.”

“Hold their signs up during the State of the Union,” Crawford noted.

Harshbarger said she wanted to grab some of those signs from the Democrats but didn’t because “Al Green was over here with his cane, and I’m like, gosh, dang it, boy, put that … He does not need that cane. That cane is a prop.”

“I swear it’s not real,” Harshbarger continued. “And I’m wondering, one of my colleagues said, ‘screw the gold part off of that and see if there’s a gun in there. ‘”

“I’m like, I don’t know about that man,” she concluded, “He’s just weird Al.”

Probably, but just in case someone forgot the reference, "beneficial skills" was the term used by DeSantis in passing the Florida law that mandates the teaching of the benefits of slavery. I think De Santis lacks some of those skills, and a visit to the beckoning shores of El Salvador might rectify the situation.
 
The only reason this is getting any traction is because the FL state legislature is angry with DeSantis for not bowing to Trump earlier than he did. OTherwise this would be neatly swept under the carpet.

Yep, I remembered. Hence my recommendation of his removal to a prison farm permanently. He can get to live the rest of his life with nothing to look forward to.
