Sunday Talk: The truth is out there

This Sunday’s Daily Kos entry is especially humorous…

Daily Kos

In this week’s episode of “GOP Theater of the Absurd,” former car thief Darrell Issa presented incontrovertible evidence that former Secretary of State/current 2016 presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton personally murdered Ambassador Ben Ghazi—or something to that effect.

Despite this revelation being hyped as a “bombshell” by Fox News et al., it wasn’treally all that shocking to anyone who’s been following the Clintons for the past few decades; after all, their body count has been well documented.

In fact, being the Machiavellian-type characters that they are, it seems likely that Bill and Hillary orchestrated Ambassador Ghazi’s murder (and the subsequent “cover-up“) in order to get President Obama impeached (as retribution for his 2008 primary victory)—but only time (and “whistleblowers“) will tell.

Be sure to tune in next week for the latest developments in this never-ending story.

Sunday Talk: Home of the brave

Daily Kos ~ Silly Rabbit

On Monday, Senator Marco Rubio—whose parents famously fled Castro’s Cuba before that was even a thing to do—ganged up with seven other senators (including John “TehSurge” McCain and Lindsey “Benghazi” Graham) to unveil a bipartisan framework for comprehensive immigration reform.

No doubt this was a calculated move by Rubio; he doesn’t need any GOP consultants telling him that “send them all back” is no longer a viable electoral strategy—but it was heroic nonetheless.

He now finds himself on the opposing side of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the National Review; they recognize that offering millions of freeloaders a path to citizenship would be good for the Democrats, and as such, bad for the country.

On the other hand, an influx of foreign invaders would necessitate giving little womenzunfettered access to the biggest, scariest-looking guns imaginable—which is what America is all about.

Well, that and Israel, apparently.

Sunday Talk: Good to the last drop

I love this weekly feature on Daily Kos.  I’m always compelled to share it with TFC readers.

This week’s intro is particularly humorous…

By: Silly Rabbit  for Daily Kos

On “Blue Monday,” millions of Americans—chief among them, former POW John McCain—watched the second inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama, and hoped/prayed that he would apologize for decisively winning the past two elections.

Much to their dismay, however, instead of surrendering to some bullshit fantasy of theirs, Obama forcefully made the case for progressive values.

His words proved to be too much for top Republicans; some went into hiding, while others went off the deep end—all but accusing him of lip-syncing to an audiobook of The Communist Manifesto and/or MeinKampf.

Now, I’m not a psychiatrist, but if I were one, I’d say that the GOP’s problems are rooted in stupidity, psychopathy, vaginaphilia, racism, objectivism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, and stuff.

Also, too.
