People are still talking about the now preposterous possibility of a Christie presidential campaign that isn’t an abysmal flop. But once folks come back to reality — and even more once Christie comes back to planet Earth and even tacitly admits his career in politics is likely over — there’s a dark story that’s ready to be told. And that is that Chris Christie has stepped on and pissed off enough people on his ascent through New Jersey and now national politics that it is going to be a brutal fall. There’s no soft landing in the offing. This is probably just a hint of what’s coming.
Utah National Guard brushes off possibility of military takeover of Utah.
Louie Gohmert: “Once I observed the map depicting ‘hostile,’ ‘permissive,’ and ‘uncertain’ states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,’ and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution.”
Pamela Geller compares herself (favorably) to Rosa Parks, causing even Fox News host to do double take. Watch.
Was ISIS behind the failed attack on Pam Geller’s Muhammad cartoon event in Garland, Texas? Today ISIS has taken responsibility for the attack and claimed more will be coming. Predictably, right-wingers have swelled at this claim of responsibility to elevate the significance of the attack and claim that ISIS has mounted its first attack on the US mainland.
Let’s wait to see if there turns out to be any evidence at all for this claim.
American right wingers claiming that hate group leader Pam Geller is the new Charlie Hebdo will be sad to hear that of a surviving member of the magazine’s staff says Geller is no Charlie Hebdo.
Pentagon denies “wild speculation” that it is preparing a military takeover of Texas.
One of the best parts of the conspiracy theory embraced by top Republicans in Texas is the idea that shuttered Walmart stores are actually being prepared as either staging areas or detention facilities for President Obama’s planned military takeover of Texas. Some theorize that the military and Walmart may be preparing tunnels connecting the shuttered Walmarts as part of the takeover. But Walmart now says there’s “no truth to the rumors” that they’re involved.
We’re trying to keep you updated on people who think we need to be worried that President Obama may be plotting to take over Texas with US military special operations forces operating under the guise of a military training exercise. So far we’ve got the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, Sen. Ted Cruz, Chuck Norris, Rand Paul and Ron Paul.
So far the only people to push back in the opposite direction seem to be people who’ve already been tossed from politics for being RINOs.
