This week in GOP stupidity

 Ronna Romney-McDaniel's television career, at least at NBC, is over before it really started.

The former chairperson of the Republican National Committee, pushed out the door by Donald Trump in what amounted to a bloodless coup so he could take over the RNC and use it as a personal piggy bank, so they say, was hired by NBC as a contributor. However, that didn't end well.

McDaniel was let go today, two days after getting publicly excoriated on Meet The Press, and after NBC personalities, including former Press moderator Chuck Todd, questioned the wisdom of their bosses hiring McDaniel, who until Sunday didn't definitively admit that Trump lost the 2020 election. On Sunday, she finally did, but it was too little, too late.

By now, you've all heard about the boat crashing into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, collapsing the bridge, and plunging several innocent commuters into the river. The boat sank, as well.

Leave it to some ill-mannered GOPers to try to paint the accident as anything but. Like, for example, a terrorist attack. Which it wasn't.

Georgia Misrepresentative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene was promptly blasted on X for trying to sell the idea that it was some sort of attack. Greene has no shame, and will say anything to keep her name in the headlines. They're dealing with tragedy in Baltimore, and she's trying to imagine something else happened.

Absolutely no shame.

===================================================

Also on Sunday, Fibber Jordan went on 60 Minutes, and co-anchor Lesley Stahl, in the course of her interview with Jordan, fact-checked him right to his face about misrepresentation, among other things, leaving ol' Fibber flabbergasted.

Farron Cousins explains:

The truth hurts, doesn't it, Fibber?

Finally, the Baron of Blasphemy himself, Trump, is trying to compare himself to Jesus. It just happens to be the week before Easter, so we get the timing. I will remind that the late musician John Lennon once opined that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus, and, a few years later, Lennon was killed by an obsessed fan.

So what would be Trump's fate in correlation with Lennon? While we don't wish ill on anyone, getting convicted in at least one trial, coupled with another election loss, would be torture enough on Trump's fragile mind.
