It’s probably time to call in James Cameron to help raise it again

Well we won’t, as the Qanuts won’t support him. So, a vanity run, really.

I don’t know that I’d go that far when characterizing his record.

Yes, he ultimately ended up certifying the election, but he also signed the Texas v Pennsylvania amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to help throw out millions of votes (despite the suit lacking any sort of standing, and being “constitutionally, legally[,] and factually wrong about Georgia” in the words of Georgia’s AG, which rings pretty true when you read the brief). When he did finally vote to certify, the GOP letter he signed very clearly implies things would have gone differently if he had been allowed to vote for the slate of obvious fraudsters that were stopped before they made it to Congress. There was a long line of fundamental safeguards that prevented the illegal toppling of the government, every one of which was stressed to its breaking point (mostly with Austin Scott’s help), and any of which could have tipped the scales, but Scott wasn’t exactly on the side pushing for Democracy. That said, you’re right. At least he did better than Jordan, I guess?

For the record, Scott’s other political stances are:

• Life begins at conception so abortion at any stage for any reason is murder
• Pro death penalty
• Anti gun control
• Anti same-sex marriage, let alone the raft of other LGBT issues

So… several decades and a few million voters removed from where the actual American population stands, and farther to the right than even mainstream fiscal conservatives, but that’s par for the course these days.

Perhaps I’m missing something but why would you have to settle for any GOP candidate at this point? I mean unless you support the party itself why settle for the best of the worst at all when they don’t have a chance of getting elected with the Q cult refusing to support him?

At this point the best we can hope for is someone least likely to cause a government shutdown.

Good points, I missed that when looking him up. Terrible person that at least occupies the same reality. Sometimes I still can’t believe this is where we are.

This might be the best choice

There are lots of choices that could be made. Off the top of my head, there’s the choice to form a consensus government of the middle half so that the essential functions of government are taken care of, like paying for services they’ve already signed into law, approving military leadership appointments for the hundreds of vacancies in our armed forces, and ensuring that pregnant women and disabled veterans on food stamps don’t starve when the “Freedom Caucus” tries to intentionally shut down the government (again) even though the GOP already agreed to spending levels. Because remember, the Senate and White House are both controlled by Democrats, so the only way they can sign something into law is with a consensus involving the other side, and there’s actual work to be done.

Your premise that a divided GOP is required to rely on themselves alone is something they did to themselves by choice over and over again.

She’s not a horse! Jeezus people.

She’s a horse’s ass.

I didn’t know Sarah Jessica Parker was from Georgia or that she won a seat in Congress. TMYK™

Mr. Ed probably generates less horseshit than any Republican in Congress
