    I don’t think anyone would be upset if the white house smelled like curry. That would be a nice atmosphere. But what’s racist about the rest of it? I think this all went over my head.

      It’s preying on the fact that a lot of call centers were offshored to India and other countries. That resonates well with their voting bloc

        Yeah, somehow I expect the “Jews have space lasers they use to start forest fires” lady aint a paragon of virtue here.

    If you’re a racist it’s occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

    Fuck both these people.

    Considering that Trump and Loomer were chilling together before and after the debate, I’m pretty sure that they share a lot in common.

      Perhaps you have jumped parallel universes to a better, more sane one. I know I’ve jumped universes at least once. Unfortunately it was from a normal sane universe to this dumpster fire timeline.

    I was going to say I agree with her but I realized I can’t.

    She is right it is racist but it is certainly not above Republicans nor Trump to be openly racist.

    Even in her admonishments to other people, she sets aside a little time to kiss Trump’s ass and make sure he knows she loves him. Get your own fucking identity, weirdo!

    It absolutely represents both Trump and MAGA.

    What this is is MTG seeing the potential writing on the wall and slowly trying to sneak her way into more normal speak so she doesn’t get fucking tossed out the door on her ass with the rest of them if Kamala wins and the “normal” republicans begin to purge their party of MAGA losers.

    She’s essentially thinking “I’d better start toning down my shit, just in case.”

      I predict a massive loss for the GOP, all the way down to dogcatcher. Imagine all the politically ignorant voters that will show out to vote against Trump and will mark D on all the races they know nothing about. Then there are those of us who are politically aware and are marking straight D’s, because fuck all this nonsense.

      You are spot on about the coming purges. Blood. Bath.

        I hope so. If there is a god, the one I want to see lose the most is Ted Cruz. I’m so sick of his smug face. He gives the rest of us Canadians a bad name. We’re sorry we sent him to you.
