Like invasive weeds these former trump admin and staff will spread and propagate throughout the country.
Goats are good for eating kudzu. Not sure what has a palate for Sanders.
She’s a shoe-in. Feeling even more sorry for my friends in Arkansas.
I took on the media, the radical left and their cancel culture, and I won.
Bullshitter bullshitting, I give you the fabulous Murica’s TGOP.
Didn’t she get fired by a Republican?
The problem with Sarah Sanders is that nobody knows if this run for governor is real, or if it’s just another lie.
I know it says she’s running but looks more like circling the drain to me.
At least I’ll have more occasions to mention her scary, hulking, sadistic, brother. Their handling of the dog incident highlights what a toxic bunch this Xtianist family is.
As my Dear departed Mom always said, “A turd knows its way home”…
She does realize that alot of things can be dug out with FOIA requests… things superpacs, her primary and democrat rivals can batter her with. She realizes that… right, right?
“self awareness” Not a quality you find in TGOP scum.
It’s not cancel culture when a Republican does it
If it was then all the not-actually-radical-left-wing-to-far-left cancel culture would be buried under all the cancel culture that the Republicans were doing.
there’s more to it than that. shs is not just any trumpist refugee, she is also the daughter of one of the most popular and third longest lasting governors in arkansas history. her dad, mike huckabee, before becoming another fox news ringwraith, was actually a republican who believed in governance and who oversaw a katrina recovery that was a model of organization and dispatch. during his gubernatorial period he was kind of a last remnant of the old-style rockefeller republicans with an evangelical spin. by the time he ran for his last term as governor he had managed to become so well-liked that he was re-elected with a solid majority cemented by getting almost half the state’s african-american voters behind him.
of course, when he ran for the presidency in 2008 and shortly afterward became part of fox he went from “responsible governance” to “raging wingnut” almost overnight. still, because of fond memories of his time in office i’m inclined to agree with the statement:
it’s funny really how she describes the incoming biden administration as being “the radical left” and “socialist tyranny” (if only) and if you watch her campaign demagoguery you would thing her opponents were bernie sanders, cory booker, elizabeth warren, and alexandria ocasio-cortez. seriously, arkansas is a medium sized state, it’s boundaries don’t include new york or massachussetts. she’s running for governor of arkansas but republicans can’t speak without calling every democrat a dangerous radical. when every word spoken is an actual outrage it becomes hard to be outraged, it all fades into the background but we have to stop allowing it. we have to become outraged again, before it is too late.
Does this even matter to the “impervious to facts” MAGA crowd?
I too feel bad for those Arkansas folk but I also extremely grateful shes not running for Federal office.
Yet.
Scratch that, I want to see her primary Cotton.
Talk about Appropriation and Revisionism.
Somehow she is going to defend us from the people involved in the Capitol riot. (The leftists? Antifa?!)
Somehow she is going to defend us from the people who opposed Integration/Little Rock Nine. (Wait-- those nasty Leftists? Again?)
Sadly, she’s going to (easily) win, isn’t she? She’s competent at what she does (that is, lying and dealing with liars). Sean Spicer stumbled, mumbled, and sweated throughout his tenure as Press Secretary; Sanders handled it, left while the leaving was good, and without a scratch on her reputation. She has that stability that Republican voters just love. She has the name recognition of being a Huckabee, and is in the visual memory of the voters from all her press conferences.
