The Orange Lives Matter Coup Won’t End This Trumpist Chaos
After inciting a mob of his drooling followers to sack the Capitol, President Donald Trump proved he’s too dangerous to hold office, even if it’s just for another two weeks. But don’t count on his Cabinet to do the right thing, not even after the first attack on the Capitol since 1814.
“These people are gutless, spineless, chickenshit, horrifying, boot-lick traitor scum,” Rick Wilson says on The New Abnormal. “Even if Donald Trump had his finger on the trigger and was saying, ‘I’m going to nuke Peoria’… these people would not pursue the 25th Amendment. Everyone’s just fooling themselves.”
This was a day that was stupid and pointless as it was dangerous. A day for a thousand self-owns. Molly Jong-Fast wonders why these people are protesting the Electoral College when “the greatest irony here is the Electoral College is the only thing that gets Republicans in office. And yet they’re coming out against it, right? I mean, we’ll go to a popular vote. Let’s go, bitches!”
Trump Just F*cked Himself and His Party in Georgia
The crew muses about what would have happened if Mitt Romney had gotten his hands on Ted “Fat Wolverine” Cruz on Wednesday after shouting at him across the rotunda. Does the shirtless, horned “Q-Shaman” supply QAnon with psychedelics that explain why they believe the wacky things they do? How does one wax Roger Stone’s Richard Nixon back tattoo? Is Mike Pence planning on starting his own gang of “Prude Boys” with his newfound free time? And what exactly were those Trumpist morons really trying to accomplish? All of this on this special bonus episode of The New Abnormal.
