Politics and cannibalism are unlikely bedfellows, yet the association has been with us for months. And it continued today as Republicans picked Donald Trump-hating John Thune as the new Senate majority leader.
Flash back to April of this year, when Clueless Joe Biden, still the Democrat president and candidate to run against Trump, told people at two Pennsylvania stops about his uncle Ambrose “Bosie” Finnegan supposedly being eaten by cannibals in Papaua New Guinea during World War II.
Outrage ensued after this due to the bumbling president providing more evidence that he wasn’t firing on all cylinders mentally.
There were basic factual errors, along with the usual Biden hyperbole. Bosie had joined the military the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, not the day after the allied D-Day invasion of Europe, as Biden said.
Bosie was riding in the plane, not piloting it as Biden implied.
Remains were not found, which is how Biden made the leap to Bosie having been eaten. By that logic, we must presume Amelia Earhart ended up on some native chafing dish, too.
Democrats were mortified that Biden had glitched publicly yet again. It was another example of why they’d kept him hidden during the 2020 campaign. Yes, even then, Democrats knew Joe was not all there.
Notable, however, is the fact they were not sufficiently taken aback by the 2020 reality, or continuing evidence such as this cannibal flap, to do anything about the situation. It was not until Clueless Joe melted down in a debate with Trump and all hope seemed lost for the pending election that action was taken.
It was then that the Democrats ate their own, by throwing Biden into the cooking pot and installing Kamala Chameleon as the candidate. I’ll bet her throat now is sore from nervous laughter, watching over her shoulder for the Democrats looking to put her on the dinner menu, too,
Political cannibalism is a bipartisan issue.
Trump is filling his administration with many Republican bright lights who currently are serving in the Senate or House. Yes, they are in states where a Republican will be picked to replace them, temporarily. But special elections will be held and the Republican majorities in the Senate and House are not such that they can withstand massive depletion.
Fortunately, word has come that Trump plans to stop cannibalizing the ranks of Congress for administration posts.
The latest case of cannibalism is establishment Republicans, the Republicans In Name Only (RINO) types who cannot stand that Trump is the face of the party and the only reason this ridiculous band of petty tyrants still can win national elections.
Without Trump, Republicans are toast when it comes to winning the presidency. Their revenge is to vote in Thune, whose history of Trump hatred is a matter of public record.
These RINOs are eating their own leader (Trump) in a show that the D.C. Swamp of which they are a part, intends to fight for its survival.
It stinks to high heaven that the Senate Republicans held a secret ballot on this, first dumping Trump loyalist Rick Scott from the leadership election, then going with Thune in the final head-to-head contest.
Moves like this will allow the dysfunctional Republican party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Expect Thune to do his best to throw sand in the gears of the Trump machine, which won the presidency, House and Senate. That’s a Republican mandate, if a person could expect the party to act in good faith.
If Thune is as bad as anticipated, just two words for him: Liz Cheney. That RINO Trump hater got her butt booted out of her House seat – losing by 30 percentage points or so in a PRIMARY election.
This reduced Liz to making the scene promoting Kamala Chameleon, and coming up a loser again. I wonder which Democrat Thune will be supporting in 2028?
Thune would do well to note that karma is a female dog, and revenge is a dish best served cold.
