GOP self owns really do hurt all of us in the end 😔

Walter Einenkel at Daily Kos:

The GOP attempted to distract the public from Donald Trump’s conviction by bringing Attorney General Merrick Garland in front of the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. While Republicans like Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida pushed conspiracy theories, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California shut them down in an embarrassing defeat. “I'm starting to think you're in a cult,” Swalwell said. He proceeded to point to the cognitive dissonance among the GOP’s Trump apologists, and then he listed off the 37 countries that ban convicted felons from entering.  While Swalwell rattled this off, Republicans objected and Committee chair, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, pounded his gavel. 

Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) brough some truth bombs for everyone by calling out the GOP’s sycophantic loyalty to Convicted Felon Donald Trump.

Absolutely insane stuff

I can’t help but feel like, on some level, conservative support for utter fucking morons like Elon Musk and Donald Trump comes from pure spite. It’s as if they’re saying, “yeah, we know these guys have the intelligence of a brick; but we’re going to make them presidents and billionaires and public figures because fuck you, that’s why. Because we are so much better than you; that our worst, most idiotic self-centered assholes get positions of power and lives of luxury while your best and brightest can’t even afford a house or healthcare.”
