Goodbye to a world-class crybaby

That’s the thing about Boss Trump, the only president to be impeached twice. Everybody’s always picking on him, and nothing has ever been his fault.

By Gene Lyons Jan 14, 2021, 11:25am CST

Last week was a bad one for right-wing crybaby culture. Scarcely had Boss Trump’s paranoid mob retreated from the U.S. Capitol than the whining began. My favorite thing on Facebook was a photo of two guilty-looking dogs welcoming their master at the front door: “We’re so glad you’re home,” the caption reads. “Antifa have done a s—t in the hallway.”

This even before news reports documented that members of the mob had done exactly that in the halls of Congress — urinated and smeared feces on the walls. A junior high school rebellion if ever one was.

Several members of the GOP Clown Caucus — Matt Gaetz of Florida, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Paul Gosar of Arizona — nevertheless argued, as Gaetz put it, that the rioters were “masquerading as Trump supporters and in fact, were members of the violent terrorist group antifa.”

Over on Fox News, Laura Ingraham took up the cry.

The mythical antifa, that is, which has never been shown to exist as an actual organization outside the metaphysical netherworld of Trump’s tweets. It’s at worst a campus debating society, otherwise a hoodoo; a haint; a boogeyman signifying his followers’ fears.

Particularly how badly he has been treat by Obama and Hillary and their sheeple army. Witch hunts, hoax viruses, failure to recognize all of his glorious accomplishments. The greatest stable genius to ever occupy the White House, and all we did was complain and plot against him.

The Capitol "protest" is the fault of the BLM riots. ANTIFA led the insurrection at the capitol. The election was stolen by massive voter fraud. No wonder they hate us....

The land of deniers.
