    The split contest has generated plenty of controversy, with former state party chair Amy Tarkanian last year calling it “a nightmare” and “a debacle.”

    It is so weird to see a full-blown “let’s imprison our enemies and I can kill my opponents if I want to” fascist in the race, and party officials still calmly operating the same orderly processes that gave us Jimmy Carter.

    If this is a nightmare, I don’t know what words you could use to describe what Trump will do if he wins.

      The words

      If Trump wins, you’ll never have to vote for the president ever again.

      It’s even better than that. They are “competing” in two separate systems in Nevada. Because she isn’t in the one he’s in, he wins that one by default, and she “loses” by not competing. What a goddamn moron.

        He knows his supporters are a bunch of dummies that don’t educate even if the book hits them in the head. He isn’t targeting people who tend to have 2nd thoughts.

    Member when she ejected all semblance of seriousness or common sense by accepting the UN position from Trump and sycophantically parroted all his demented word-salad “talking points” for years?

    Member that? That’s good karma. Karma moved on her like a bitch.

    Everyone who throws their lot in with Trump gets shit on. No Exceptions

      Right?

      Like… When she was governor, I didn’t necessarily like her, but I felt like she…was not as bad as the average Republican, at least. Which is honestly high praise for a Republican.

      When she got the UN job I thought that was a great pick by the Trump transition team, that she’d at least be a bit of outwardly facing sanity to the world, to hide the shit that was going to no doubt hit the fan domestically.

      2017 me had no idea how naive I was about how eagerly the entire GOP would drink from the Trump punch bowl.

      Depends on whether there’s MASSIVE PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT BY CROOKED JOE AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AGAINST HIS POLITICAL OPPONENT or not:

      Actually mostly looks like uncaptioned links to far-right websites and friggin’ Newsweek.

      Sheesh, Truth makes Twitter look wonderful & bot free (no idea if they’re real posters or not, but all the replies are like this).

      PS: he topped at 30k likes in the past day. The pre-X-Twitter ban did the world some good I guess?

      Yeah, I was going to say. It’s been a few years since his dumb tweets would make national news every day, but this seems par for the course from what I remember. Misspelled, all-caps, grammatically incorrect word salad has been his thing since long before he was president.
