I grew up hearing the word "insufferable" without really thinking about what or who it could apply to.  But Trump is the very definition.

 

in·suf·fer·a·ble

/inˈsəf(ə)rəb(ə)l/

 

adjective

adjective: insufferable

too extreme to bear; intolerable.

"the heat would be insufferable by July"

 

having or showing unbearable arrogance or conceit.

"an insufferable bully"

:picard: MSNBC.....

 

They have one of the best reporters / anchors in the business in Mehdi Hasan....so they decided to cancel his show:

I'm guessing he has a contract that he can't get out of, but CNN should poach him if they can figure out a way to do it.

Yeah I was shocked at that.  I thought he was great.

Chokes on her lunch.  Then uses said incident to "joke" attack as opposed to doing the decent thing and be humble/thankful.  Such class.

 

Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats. Thanks, Dr. @RandPaul!

The Gavin Newsome - Ron DeSantis "debate" happened on Faux last night, with Sean Hannity as the moderator....

 

Predictably, it was a lot of cross talk, accusations of lying and insults, but Newsome did manage to score a direct hit with one comment....After being asked by Hannity if he would state for the record that he wasn't running for President in 2024, (DeSantis had accused him of running a "shadow campaign") Newsome said "correct".

 

Later in the debate, he circled back to the topic and hit Darth Santis with this zinger:

Quote

"One thing ... that we have in common is: neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024,"

Good news....

 

House expels GOP Rep. George Santos over ethics violations

GOP Rep. George Santos told CNN after the House voted to expel him that "it’s over."

“The House spoke that’s their vote. They just set new dangerous precedent for themselves,” he added.

When asked if he would still stay and use nonmember privileges because he is not convicted, Santos said, "Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place.”

Pressed if he knew this was how it was going to go, Santos said, "I had no skin in the game." 

And then he said, "You know what? As unofficially no longer a member of Congress, I no longer have to answer your questions."

The House leadership did everything they could yesterday while this was being debated to save their useful puppet. 

 

They're worried about setting precedent to get rid of proven liars who defrauded voters both while in office (attempted) and on the way to winning a seat!!!  That speaks volumes and is a bit telling.  Capitol Hill needs to be scrubbed down with bleach.

It appears that the 2 Democratic votes No on the expulsion were from Virginia and Georgia.

 

112 GOP votes no.  Of course some of the usual suspects Elise Stefanik, Chip Roy, Nancy Mace, Gym Jordan, Space Laser Lady, Gosar, Gaetz, Bo Bo.  You get the picture.
