So last week there were a lot of shenanigans involving the Republican Party and der Fuehrer Donald Trump so let's play catch up, shall we?
There was a Republican presidential debate Wednesday night that may have mattered for a minute or so. I didn't see it all but I saw enough to determine what I consider to be a defining moment.
The moderator asked asked the 8 candidates to raise their hands if they would support the eventual nominee even if that person was convicted of a crime? Two people did not raise their hands: Chris Christie and Ava Hutchinson.
Well, for a moment there was a third: Ron DeSantis. After the question was asked, Ron looked to his left and his right and saw most of his fellow candidates were raising theirs.
And the audience was cheering in support of this.
So Ron DeSantis raised his hand to show his support if the eventual nominee is a convicted criminal.
It was quite a telling moment for DeSantis and the party, their continued fealty to the lumbering monstrosity that is der Fuehrer Donald Trump.
Who didn't even show up.
To be blunt, there was no up side for Li'l Donnie to attend the debate. For a guy who is currently up with a 62% approval rating among the Republican candidates with everyone else polling in the single digits.
Li'l Donnie made a cursory effort at counter programming by having an interview with Tucker Carlson that was released 5 minutes before the debate on Twitter. (Fuck you, Elon Musk! I am not not calling Twitter "X" because the idea is like you: stupid!) The interview was the usual Trumpian "blah blah blah" of the election was stolen, it wasn't fair, etc etc etc.
Li'l Donnie needs some new material. So the interview with Tucker was a dead duck and provided nothing to command attention.
But there are other ways to get the attention of the nation back.
Such as getting arrested.
Any interest or heat generated by the mostly tepid debate was quickly dissipated by Donald Trump the next day when he showed up in Fulton County, Georgia to be arraigned for the latest of his indictments and felony charges.
There was a debate Wednesday? Fuck that! We've got to watch Trump and his fellow indicted co-conspirators show up to be fingerprinted, post bond to stay out of jail and get their picture taken.
Where we got the mug shot seen 'round the world.
So did Nikki Haley make any headway at the debate to be considered a viable candidate? Is Ron DeSantis in free fall after the debate?
Who cares?
Donald Trump sucked up all the oxygen on Thursday being arrested.
And Li'l Donnie was still drawing all the heat on Friday with what the motherfucker did while being arrested.
Donald Trump told the officer writing up his arrest report he is 6' 3" tall and weighs 215 pounds.
Below is a graphic comparing Donald Trump to various professional athletes who average 6' 3" in height and weight 210 to 225 pounds.
Is Donald Trump really 6' 3" tall and weighs 215 pounds?
The answers are...
- No!
- Hell no!!
- Fuck no!!!
Take your pick.
So while being arrested for among other things lying about shit, he continues to lie about stuff we can clearly see is a lie.
The same shameless liar that most of the the shameless candidates for the Republican nomination vowed to support if he he get the nomination and convicted of any of the 91 crimes he has been charged with.
The same shameless liar currently polling as the leader of the Republican presidential candidates.
And raking in the campaign dough.
Trump raised $7.1 million since he was booked on Thursday.
Trump is ready to lead the way into Hell.
And a lot of people are willing to follow him there.
Even his rivals.
