Runner-up = Residents of MA, who have already seen what a difference a Dem governor makes Biggest Loser of 2019 = Snowflake Trump, for not making the cover of 'Time' (I laugh my head off imagining his ass-kissers running around wildly, until they hit on the 'bright idea' of transplanting Trump's head on Greta's body) Best Politician - Pelosi, who has shown what an iron fist in a velvet glove really means Worst Politician = Gaetz? 'Gym' Jordan? It may bring accolades on FOX News, but prostrating yourself before your Messiah on television will be your eternal 'fame' Most Defining Political Moment = Whistleblower's report. Turncoat Of The Year = Sen. Graham. Tweets, interviews, opinion columns from the past indict his current attitude. ("It's like he had a brain snatch!" LOL) Most Boring = Sen McConnell Most Charismatic = AOC (otherwise, FOX News wouldn't have their panties in a wad!) Bummest Rap = Corbyn is anti-semitic Fairest Rap = Giuliani is batshit crazy (but keep spilling your guts, PLLLLLEEEEEEAAASSSSSEEEE!) Best Comeback = Greta to Trump's attacks Most Original Thinker = Pelosi. She seems to be 3 steps ahead of Trump - and at least one step ahead of her own caucus Most Stagnant Thinker = Donald Trump, Jr. It is amazing to me that anyone thinks he's going to be a 'big draw' in 2020 Best Photo Op = Pelosi, the lone woman at a long table of men, standing and shaking her finger at Trump - hands down Worst Photo Op = Congresswoman Hill's naked photos 'leaked' by right-wing operatives Enough Already! = 'Biden leads other Dem candidates in the polls' Worst Lie = Trump's abandonment of the Kurds, then threatening to 'destroy' Turkey's economy - then inviting Erdogan to the White House Capitalist Of The Year = Bloomberg, who is convinced he can buy his way to the White House Honorable Mention = AOC, for driving the right-wingnuts crazy - and for giving as good as she gets on twitter Person Of The Year = Pete Buttigieg - even if he doesn't succeed, he has made acceptable the idea of an LGBT President Biggest Winner of 2019 = Residents of VA, who will finally benefit from common-sense legislation. Runner-up = Residents of MA, who have already seen what a difference a Dem governor makes

Biggest Loser of 2019 = Snowflake Trump, for not making the cover of 'Time' (I laugh my head off imagining his ass-kissers running around wildly, until they hit on the 'bright idea' of transplanting Trump's head on Greta's body)

Best Politician - Pelosi, who has shown what an iron fist in a velvet glove really means

Worst Politician = Gaetz? 'Gym' Jordan? It may bring accolades on FOX News, but prostrating yourself before your Messiah on television will be your eternal 'fame'

Most Defining Political Moment = Whistleblower's report.

Turncoat Of The Year = Sen. Graham. Tweets, interviews, opinion columns from the past indict his current attitude. ("It's like he had a brain snatch!" LOL)

Most Boring = Sen McConnell

Most Charismatic = AOC (otherwise, FOX News wouldn't have their panties in a wad!)

Most Stagnant Thinker = Donald Trump, Jr. It is amazing to me that anyone thinks he's going to be a 'big draw' in 2020

Best Photo Op = Pelosi, the lone woman at a long table of men, standing and shaking her finger at Trump - hands down

Worst Photo Op = Congresswoman Hill's naked photos 'leaked' by right-wing operatives

Enough Already! = 'Biden leads other Dem candidates in the polls'

Worst Lie = Trump's abandonment of the Kurds, then threatening to 'destroy' Turkey's economy - then inviting Erdogan to the White House

Capitalist Of The Year = Bloomberg, who is convinced he can buy his way to the White House

Honorable Mention = AOC, for driving the right-wingnuts crazy - and for giving as good as she gets on twitter

Person Of The Year = Pete Buttigieg - even if he doesn't succeed, he has made acceptable the idea of an LGBT President

I am back from my Thanksgiving vacation with a report from the trenches regarding your experiment. Oh, golly, how I could write multiple paragraphs loaded with stupid things all the dipshits said, but I'll be nice about it and cut right to the chase. CUT TO THE CHASE: The majority of the right wingers share an uncanny inability to "connect the dots" in any way whatsoever and show a gobsmacking double standard they're totally unaware they possess. I had more than one conversation wherein I was informed by right wingnuts that the POTUS has the right to have anyone investigated by anyone and for any reason, and therefore Trump has done nothing wrong asking (bribing/extorting) a foreign nation to investigate an American citizen. So to clarify their beliefs, I'd ask again if they thought it was okay for the President of the United States to request that a foreign government announce and/or perform an investigation into an American citizen the president claimed was corrupt. Without any hesitation by a single dipshit wingnut, they all responded that it was okay for Trump to investigate anyone and ask anyone else to do that. Then I turned the conversation to the investigation of Donald Trump and multiple members of the Trump campaign being investigated by the FBI/Obama administration. Without blinking an eye, every single one of them claimed that it wouldn't be okay if Obama and/or the FBI investigated Donald Trump or anyone in his campaign. So I'd then respond: So the only thing you're really taking issue with is that Obama/FBI shouldn't have investigated Trump and those multiple members of his campaign... Obama/FBI should have called on a foreign nation to investigate Trump and company... because we've already established your belief that it's okay for a POTUS to have a foreign nation investigate anyone he believes is corrupt. It was priceless how you could almost physically see light bulbs turning on by the looks on the wingnuts faces. Yes, sir, I've spent weeks connecting the dots for multiple wingnut rubes over my Thanksgiving vacation and laughed so hard I cried. Now how pathetic is that? __________ <b>Enough Already!</b> -- Right-wingnut Ignorance/Double Standard Okay, CW.
