Prickly City by Scott Stantis for November 20, 2023

Democrats are certainly absurd.

Both equal, right Scott?

“The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.”― Albert Camus

Absurd?

My vote is for the so-called ‘Freedom Caucus.’

~

Representative Chip Roy went scorched earth on his Republican colleagues on Wednesday, haranguing them for years wasted on inaction and chaos as opposed to doing their jobs.

The Texas Republican and Freedom Caucus member spent his time on the House floor on Wednesday shouting and wildly gesticulating at his caucus, condemning them for capitulating on promises by working with Democrats and lamenting the party’s transparently vacuous approach to building a border wall.

“One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing."

“One.”

“That I can go campaign on and say we did,” Roy said.

“One!”

Republican Congressman Melts Down Asking What His Party’s Even Doing

Representative Chip Roy began yelling at members of his own party during a House hearing.

Again, the two sides.

A court just said that Trump committed insurrection, but it did not disqualify him.

Launching a violent coup because you lost an election does NOT disqualify you from running again.

How absurd is THAT?

But let me quote the President:

“The press and pundits keep being surprised. They can be surprised as much as they want. But since I came off the sidelines to go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump, we haven’t stopped winning and he hasn’t stopped losing.”

Or everyday here.

The biggest difference is trump is set out to destroy our democracy while Biden is here to make sure we don’t lose it

FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!! …………. or Stanti Got-Nuthin Monday

So when Trump becomes dictator with his concentration camps should every democrat leave the USA or turn into a freedom fighter?

‘A mentally deranged, horrible man’: MSNBC analyst ‘freaked out’ Trump could win in 2024

Why is Biden absurd? He is a strong, experienced leader dedicated to democracy and the Constitution. Would I prefer more Democrat choices? Sure. But not because Biden is “absurd”.

If Trump were normal then yes, Biden would be absurd. But Trump is not, he is abnormal. What is absurd is the number of Republicans still supporting him.

More false equivalence from Stantis. One is an insurrectionist loser, the other won the last election fair and square, and has accomplished good things for the US since then.

But both are absurd?? Get real.

I didn’t even know there is such a thing as National Absurdity Day. That in fact there is in itself patently absurd.

Add Kennedy and it’s still absurd.
