And in other “Loser”-related news (off topic for just a minute)

Chris Licht the bright fella over at CNN who thought I’d be a great idea to give Trump a global platform to continue spewing his lies and all manner of hateful isht is (drumroll please) OUT!!!

Now he can take his sorry (closet racist) azz over to Trump and ask him for a job.

That is one crazy list of people trying to become the president. Repubs already let us know they are not taking the black guy serious. And the rest of them are only running because they want Trump to go to jail before the election so they can slide in there. But what is up with Cornel West? I think he is not all the way there in the head sometimes. He has always been a hater for some strange reason.

In reply to Wil.

But why does Pence think that he has a chance of becoming president? That was good question even before the events of Jan. 6, 202. […] H/t Wil

Slate:

Mike Pence is officially running for president. Why?

Well, because he wants to be president—that much has been clear since he accepted an invitation to be Donald Trump’s running mate in 2016 despite his obvious incompatibility with Trump as a matter of both personal comportment and ideology. Among other things, Pence was a “traditional family values” guy and national security “hawk” vis-à-vis figures like Vladimir Putin; joining the Trump campaign was pretty obviously a case of careerism over principle. And when you’re ambitious, and you’re the vice president, the next job you’re probably looking for is the big one!

But why does Pence think he has a chance of becoming president? This was a good question even before the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

In the Republican primary, he’s now contending with a huge number of voters who believe he betrayed the party by refusing to help overturn 2020. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has more money than Pence, is polling way ahead of him, and has been targeting the religious and social conservatives Pence would need to form a winning coalition. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is running on a return-to-traditional-Republican-values theme, which is expected to be the theme of Pence’s campaign as well, without any of Pence’s Trump-related baggage.

Could that happen? Yes. Will it? No. But what has Mike Pence ever demonstrated as a public figure if not an immense capacity for self-delusion?
