2 a.m. The bar is closing. Republicans have had a series of strong and nasty Trump cocktails. Suddenly Ted Cruz is beginning to look kind of attractive. At least he’s sort of predictable, and he doesn’t talk about his sexual organs in presidential debates!

Any speculation as to how pissed off Republicans will be that Obama is going to SXSW instead of Nancy Reagan’s funeral?

(sadly, it’s a prior engagement, it’d be even funnier if it were by choice)

9 AM. David Brooks wakes in a strange bed, head throbbing. He looks to his side across the purple satin sheets and sees the tousled blond combover resting against an incredibly classy gilded headboard. He promised himself never again, why can’t he stay away?

Damn. Tactless phrasing aside, the idea that THIS is the Democrat they’d choose to attack for not supporting veterans is beyond belief. Let’s recap:

  • Army veteran
  • Married to fellow veteran
  • Lost both legs in war, then continued to serve in army via medical waiver
  • Inspired to enter politics by fellow disabled veteran and former Republican Presidential candidate Bob Dole, who visited her during recuperation and later dedicated his biography to her
  • Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs
  • Winner of the 2007 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Veterans Leadership Award
  • In congress, called to make funding of veterans’ health care mandatory (not discretionary) and demanded more oversight and benchmarks for improving veterans care

Oh, and as far as “not standing up for veterans” goes it turns out she does indeed stand up for them, every day. ON STAR-SPANGLED AND CAMOUFLAGED PROSTHETIC LEGS. She’s practically a comic book caricature of an über-patriot, like some supporting character that Captain America would point to while saying “that’s what a REAL hero looks like.”

Edit to add: bonus “classy” points for choosing International Women’s Day to attack this particular veteran.

It doesn’t have to make sense. It only has to sound good. #MakeAmericaGrateAgin

When your communications director is having to deny you’re dropping out before your own state (which you’re going to lose) votes, you’re done.

It’s a perfect example of how reality does not matter to the Republican party.

This is the real reason why Drumpf is taking control of the Republican Party: With the Oculus Rift and other VR headsets being released this year, the Republican Party could make a fortune claiming intellectual property rights on all things Virtual Reality.

This arsehole was a congressman?

Maybe ‘us’ means racist conservative talkshow hosts? In which case, that bit’s fair enough.

I’m just going to assume that’s a parody account.

If it’s not a parody account, please don’t tell me it’s not. I have a limit on how much faith in the human race I am allowed to lose each day and I’ve already passed it.

Vox Day (ugh) claims that a woman in Chicago doing a Nazi salute was really a false flag operation by a Bernie supporter, except he got the wrong person.

Popehat advises vox might want to consult an lawyer given that erroneous “doxxing”. Vox returns the favor by mocking the mental well being of Popehat (seriously can Ted be any uglier on the inside?).

Little Donnie Trump Jr. jumps in to be the truther his dad taught him to be. (tweet since deleted)

However, Drumpf Jr. is also getting a schooling from…John Legend.

Is this the Sweeps week of the election cycle? So many cameos…
