Somewhere, in a GOP hideaway far far away, with rubber chicken and garlic rolls, there is an NRCC dinner going on. Kevin McCarthy, apparently unaware that he had only one soul to sell and it’s long gone, is now telling everybody how swell Donald Trump is.
McCarthy praising Trump to the hilt at NRCC dinner right now, where Trump is about to speak. Calls Trump the Rs’ “secret weapon.”

Secret weapon? Like nobody has heard of him before?
In what could be seen as a veiled McCarthy reference, Trump joked about JD Vance trashing him in the past and said if he couldn’t support people who’d said bad things about him he couldn’t support anyone, per attendee in the room.

We’re so glad to know that it’s all one big laugh riot.
Trump has made that comment before when rallying in Ohio. It's part of his stand-up routine. Not sure if he's still doing the arm raise routine in his act. pic.twitter.com/SFrxiyzkwe

I’m not even going to bring up the now trite issue of whether Trump is actually in office still, hiding in the shadows, while Joe Biden works out of a movie set, which means that he can’t run again in 2024.
This crowd of Republicans is so lost, they might as well be spinning out in space somewhere.
I suspect they are not so lost that they won’t pull the lever for a candidate with an (r) by their name in November. Still, this is an election that will be won by whichever party gets the vote out. Sure hope women are energized in November because if they’re not, they are well and truly fucked…literally if that guy in New York is anything to go by.
