One thing that is entertaining about the last half of the last week of the last month of the year is that various political commentary awards begin to pop up. Crooks & Liars has its Crookie award, the New Republic has its Scoundrel award and best of all, the Lincoln Project has its Abes. Let’s take a look at just a few of them, shall we? Here’s the clip that’s running in 4th place. If this is what’s running fourth, the first three have got to be horrible, right? Sadly, you are right.
4TH PLACE: Next in line for this year's top picks in #TheAbes category “Race to 2nd Place” shows exactly why Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee. No look further than "2nd GOP Debate in 90 Seconds"pic.twitter.com/NiJxge9RyW

5TH PLACE: The more Ron Desantis tries to look like a tough guy, the more he faceplants like a fool. See for yourself in "Wannabe," our 5th place ad for #TheAbes category “Race to 2nd Place”pic.twitter.com/bdC56FSUm0

Never forget; Nikki is a Civil War revisionist come-lately. https://t.co/gQwR6mhHvK

That last one was a killer. OMFG. That was roll off the couch time.
This was an edited version of a soccor score.

Photo shopped yes. But a great gag nevertheless and it did catch the zeitgeist of that exact moment. Now this next one is my personal favorite. This is indistinguishable from an SNL skit. If you weren’t actually looking at live people, alleged public servants, you would never believe this was real. Here, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, is the GOP conversion to Hitler and Nazism.
3RD PLACE: The MAGA GOP is having a moment… Coming in at 3rd place, in #TheAbes category for "Laugh to Keep from Crying," "HitlERA" shows how MAGA has embraced their Hitler era… and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon…pic.twitter.com/LqtinDfhTD

4TH PLACE: The colorful characters at a Trump rally never fails to disappoint. Coming in at 4th place, "Clown Convention" brings you up close and personal with the best and brightest MAGA sycophants. pic.twitter.com/tbF0nH1jTf

That is as good a note as any to leave on. You don’t want to OD on MAGA. It is still morning. There will be many more of these as the days go by. Brace yourself.
The American version of the nazi party, the continuation of the slave holding confederacy, and, to reference a famous book: The Confederacy of Dunces! Damn…all I see is fat morons in red hats with murderous intent. Where the hell did Scarlett O Hara get off to? Tomorrow is another day! Nikki was right…the Civil War WAS about people wanting to have the freedom to do what they want without that evil federal government stopping them from kidnapping, torturing, raping, and working those lazy ni**ars til they died. Another proud moment for the FORMER GOVERNOR of South Carolina!
One? Only one person who admits to being a racist moron? Come on magats…how is the confederacy gonna rise with this level of timidity? Come on out of the woodwork cockroaches and into the fray!
There seems to be a single pest lurking at PZ these days. Get lost moron, back to the gutter of X, TS and the like.
As a native Southerner…I’m ashamed of my misguided brothers! No rebel yell? Damn Yankees have them hiding in U-Hauls! At least Hitler could muster 40,000 nazi salutes in unison at Nuremberg. I’m a feared they are a generation of cowards…watered down from the soliders who stormed the hills of Gettysburg for a lost cause.
