Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin on Monday likened the competition to become Donald Trump’s running mate to the reality business TV show that raised his profile. “The veepstakes right now feel like ‘The Apprentice’ but to prove just how unprincipled and willing to grovel you are,” Griffin said on Monday’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” which she co-hosts. Griffin’s damning summary came amid a discussion on the various ways in which Trump’s potential picks have in recent weeks debased themselves to curry favor with the presumptive GOP nominee ― from South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s dog-killing admission to Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) refusal to say if he’ll accept the 2024 election result. (HUFFPOST)
Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio downplayed the violence of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, telling CNN that he was “extremely skeptical that Mike Pence’s life was ever in danger.” Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida showcased his willingness to defend hush money for porn stars by calling on New York jurors to acquit Trump of the charges against him. “This is a trash case; there is no crime here,” he declared on Newsmax, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York showcased her intense thirst for Trump’s nod by echoing his claim that Jan. 6 rioters are “hostages.” Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama apparently thought her fundie baby voice/angry mom bit would appeal to the former president’s idea of what someone from veep central casting would look and sound like. (MSNBC)
For my BLOG, today, I had it quite easy. I did not have to pontificate, preach, or add snark, or sarcasm. I did not have to do anything but showcase the words and deeds of a bunch of EMPTY, SELF-SERVING, PATHETIC MINIONS who have little problems in losing their genitals and backbones to become nothing but accomplices in the destruction of America. BUT what should trouble those of us who want Democracy to survive… IS the fact that these Buffoons could be the second person in line to become President!
