I happened to catch a little of the medias "Nicki Haley Rehabilitation Tour" this morning, wherein the media fawns all over Nicki for some weak-ass statement "distancing" herself from Donnie Dipshit.
Imagine my surprise when that statement is a world-salad of "he led us down a wrong path" and "we shouldn't have listened to him", "we shouldn't have followed him".
Now, someone a hell of a lot smarter than me is going to have to explain how that is different from; "I was allowed to believe things that weren't true"
I've suspected all along, despite her "air of reasonableness", or the "whiff of normal" you get from Nicki, she's really just Donnie Dipshit in a dress, with bigger hands.
That little whiff of "normal" you get from Nicki is really just an illusion.

(40,212 posts)She is a political opportunist. She had a front row seat for nearly 4 years to Trump's psychopathy yet she choose to gave a big speech during the convention. After the insurrection she said that everyone should "Give him a break."
Ugh. She is a terrible person.

(51,284 posts)They printed out copies of Mr. Trumps post this one containing an unsubstantiated suggestion that an older protester shoved and injured by the police in Buffalo was an Antifa provocateur who staged his own assault for any Republican who might try to fall back on what has become a stock response: I didnt see the tweet.
It did not work. Even faced with documentary evidence of the presidents inflammatory remark, most Republicans averted their gaze on Tuesday, declining to comment as they darted through the hallways of Capitol Hill and appearing to wish away what was on paper in front of them.
Their reactions were the most vivid illustration to date of an extraordinary dynamic among elected Republicans that has been building almost since the moment Mr. Trump took office behaving as if they have no idea what he is doing or saying. After thousands of tweets carrying falsehoods, racist language and demeaning barbs against their own colleagues not to mention the news reports, book excerpts or speeches that have roiled this administration lawmakers in his party have largely settled on blissful ignorance as a way of avoiding defending the indefensible.
All I can say is they are liars, fools and traitors.
