Lordy, lordy, lordy – will The Darnold EVER quit providing me with material?
Making fun of the right-wing nutjobs who populate Free Republic has always been easy, but these days, the limbo bar of stupidity has gotten about an inch off the ground. Also, they’re starting to run out of “conservatives” to throw under the bus.
Example?
Limbaugh: Trump’s comments on NFL ‘starting to make me nervous’
The Hill ^ | October 11, 2017Posted on 10/12/2017, 4:36:29 AM by SMGFan
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday voiced concerns about President Trump’s comments on NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice, saying Trump should not have the power to dictate who can kneel during the anthem.
“There’s a part of this story that’s starting to make me nervous, and it’s this: I am very uncomfortable with the president of the United States being able to dictate the behavior and power of anybody. That’s not where this should be coming from,” Limbaugh said on his show. Limbaugh said he believed Trump’s motives were “pure,” but he argued that the president’s actions were unhelpful in the broader debate on players kneeling.
“Trump is continually tweeting — I know what he’s doing, and I understand why he’s doing it, and his motives are pure; don’t misunderstand. But I don’t think that it is useful or helpful for any employee anywhere to be forced to do something because the government says they must,” he continued.
“We don’t want the president being able to demand anybody that he’s unhappy with behave in a way he requires,” Limbaugh added.

Is it finally time to panic now that O’bunghole’s message of “America Sucks” has taken root in El Gordo de Oxycontino’s beloved NFL? /s

It’s called the bully pulpit. He used it effectively and it was his right.

Vanity Fair: Bannon believes Trump only has 30% chance of completing full term
CNN ^ | October 11, 2017 | Sophie TatumPosted on 10/12/2017, 5:54:26 AM by rightwingintelligentsia
Washington (CNN)Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has privately confided that he believes President Donald Trump only has a 30% chance of completing his full term, a source told Vanity Fair.
According to two of Vanity Fair’s sources with knowledge of the conversation, Bannon warned Trump several months ago that the biggest threat to his presidency is not impeachment by Congress, but the 25th Amendment — which could allow his Cabinet to vote to remove him.

I think there may be a 70% chance Trump resigns in disgust before his term ends – but only by his choice,

Not necessarily BS even coming from CNN and without named sources. We just don’t know.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it were a real risk and that Bannon was cognizant of it as a real risk.

The new narrative is that Trump is dangerous and crazy and that the cabinet is running the country. Folks, the Deep State is beyond desperation now and they’re reduced to spreading rumors and innuendo about this administration in a desperate attempt to get the president to resign. Pretty pathetic!

“these days, the limbo bar of stupidity has gotten about an inch off the ground.”
Your grandmotherly kindness is hereby noted, while the Freepdardi
have been busily digging a pit underneath that limbo bar.
Have you seen the NFL pre-game controversy expressed in terms of Black men and their owners concerned about their behavior in the field? What century are we in?
And they pay those uppity nigrahs plenty of money, too. What could they possibly have to protest about?
