On Debates, Liars, and More Liars

Posted on by under Bits 'n Pieces, Election 2024, History, Political commentary

Last night was another {yawn} debate between Republican candidates for the presidency come November {yawn}.  Earlier yesterday, Chris Christie announced that he is dropping out of the race (wisely, I think, though he was by far the better candidate), Asa Hutchinson and Vivek Ramaswamy are still in, but did not qualify for the debate.  So, that left Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley.  I tuned in for 15 minutes about mid-way through the debate, hosted by CNN, and it was a complete waste of 15 minutes.  During that time, each was asked a few questions and neither of them actually answered the questions.  The moderators tried to steer their responses back to the original question, but with no luck.  DeSantis & Haley obviously came to the stage with an agenda and regardless of the questions asked, they were intent only on presenting their agenda and making jabs at each other.  {YAWN}

I see that ol’ George Santos, who was expelled from Congress last month, is ‘begging voters for a second chance.’  This is the man who, as he left Congress for the last (hopefully) time on December 1st after his expulsion, said “To hell with this place.”  And now, he wants to come back.

“Don’t count me out. I’ve given many people a second chance and I’m asking everybody to please give me a second chance. And I will, you know, come forward and prove to be worth your second chance. And I just want people to look at that and say, so many people make mistakes. We all make mistakes, if you really take a look deep inside, and I am sorry. And I look forward to continuing to be a voice for those who seek leadership in me.”

Have you guys noticed that there are an awful lot of whiny crybabies in the Republican Party?  Just like their “chosen one” who whines and cries over the slightest insult!  Perhaps it’s all they have, since they have no party platform, no integrity …

Speaking of ignorance among Republicans, Donald Trump made a claim at an event last weekend that even the dumbest have to laugh at.  He blamed New York Attorney General Letitia James for Exxon relocating their headquarters from New York to Texas … which happened in 1989.  Letitia James’ first foray into politics was in 2004 when she was first elected to the New York City Council.  In 1989, Ms. James had just graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from Howard University School of Law and had just begun to practice law.  Yo, Donnie!  If you’re gonna lie and make shit up, at least make it semi-believable!

Well, that’s enough for one day … I’ll save the rest of my snark for another day.  Go forth and have a good afternoon, try not to think about anything serious for at least two hours!

  3. The best thing about all of this horror is the chipmunk with its bellilaugh…. I REALLY cannot feel bad enough for you – every day a new low line, every day new fake news, lies uttered, fake facts, it‘s splitting one‘s brain.

    • I couldn’t resist the little laughing guy — glad you enjoyed him, too! Thanks, Kiki … yes, it is stressful and depressing, with no end really in sight. Writing about it is my outlet for some of the stress, and having good friends like you helps, too!

  5. A complete clown show last night thanks to Ron DeSantis, he is competing with Trump as to who can tell the most and biggest lies. . Though he hadn’t the courage to actually mention Trump.
    I was sorry Christie had to drop out, the only tell it like it is candidate and we needed him just for that reason.

  7. A mistake is an error resulting in an unwanted or unintended outcome. Every “mistake” Santos made was deliberate deceit (except for “being born,” which — as much as I appreciate rawgod’s comment — was his (Santos) parents “mistake,” at least for New York and America).

    • Exactly, mm. A mistake is unintentional, and what Santos did was fully knowing that he was lying through his teeth. Some people, like Santos’ parents and Trump’s parents, should never have bred, for they produced a sub-species that is destructive.

  8. Jill, George Santos should not waste his time or money. Plus, he may be in jail anyway. DeSantis has been wasting his time and money for a few months. Of course, Birther promoter Trump is saying Haley is not a citizen. Maybe he will blame this on Hillary Clinton like he did when he dropped the Obama Birther issue which he failed miserably at.

    • Agreed, although now that he’s unemployed, he seems to have plenty of time on his hands and perhaps he misses that $14,500 monthly stipend. The people of New York have better sense than to even try sending him back, though … he’s “one and done.” Oh, no doubt he’ll blame somebody … like Donald Trump, he can never accept blame for his own mistakes/lies. A different breed, they are.
