    If you’re a racist it’s occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

    Fuck both these people.

    Considering that Trump and Loomer were chilling together before and after the debate, I’m pretty sure that they share a lot in common.

    Even in her admonishments to other people, she sets aside a little time to kiss Trump’s ass and make sure he knows she loves him. Get your own fucking identity, weirdo!

    Idk, Trump eats his steak well done w/ ketchup, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the food he likes is incredibly bland compared to what Kamala Harris likes. I’m guessing she’s also a fan of jerk and other Carribean foods, since her dad is Jamaican, so I’d much rather attend a dinner hosted by Harris than Trump.

    Also, if liking curry is a bad thing, then what does that mean for Vivek Ramiswamy? It seems he’s trying to place himself as the successor to Trump.

    So yeah, not sure how this was intended to be offensive. Curry is delicious, and Indian people rock (I work with several). And with Trump, I need a translator to understand what he’s trying to say anyway since he rambles so much and can’t seem to stick to any particular position.

    I don’t think anyone would be upset if the white house smelled like curry. That would be a nice atmosphere. But what’s racist about the rest of it? I think this all went over my head.

      It’s preying on the fact that a lot of call centers were offshored to India and other countries. That resonates well with their voting bloc

    What’s wrong with your house smelling like curry? It’s delicious. Better than smelling of hamberders and old man farts.

      Or maybe she meant “I agree, but don’t post that where EVERYONE can read it!”

    I’m going to need a source that MTG called out racism. That is some alternate dimension shit. The only reason I can think of is that maybe because the racism specifically was about Indians and JDs wife is Indian or she has a significant Indian population in her district. That is the only way this makes sense.

    Goddamn but I never thought I’d live to see this line. The line that is too far for her. I really hope I’d be dead by now. I don’t want to live in a world where she’s not the furthest most extreme crazy I can think of. Sometimes you live too long.

    It absolutely represents both Trump and MAGA.

    What this is is MTG seeing the potential writing on the wall and slowly trying to sneak her way into more normal speak so she doesn’t get fucking tossed out the door on her ass with the rest of them if Kamala wins and the “normal” republicans begin to purge their party of MAGA losers.

    She’s essentially thinking “I’d better start toning down my shit, just in case.”

      I predict a massive loss for the GOP, all the way down to dogcatcher. Imagine all the politically ignorant voters that will show out to vote against Trump and will mark D on all the races they know nothing about. Then there are those of us who are politically aware and are marking straight D’s, because fuck all this nonsense.

      You are spot on about the coming purges. Blood. Bath.

        I hope so. If there is a god, the one I want to see lose the most is Ted Cruz. I’m so sick of his smug face. He gives the rest of us Canadians a bad name. We’re sorry we sent him to you.
