Infighting Is Funny

The Hill reports: Donald Trump threw the Republican presidential campaigns for a loop on Monday, announcing that he’d break from a group seeking to gain control over the debate process and go it alone. Representatives from nearly every campaign — including Trump’s — gathered at a Washington-area hotel on Sunday night to hash out a list of demands they hoped …

As they threatened several days ago, this morning Westboro Baptist is picketing “adulterer” Kim Davis outside the courthouse in Rowan County, Kentucky. “That man that Kim Davis is living with, and calling her husband, IS NOT! Her husband is Dwain Wallace, who she married when she was 18-years-old,” read a press release from Westboro, according to WPMT-TV. “It does not …

Westboro Baptist says they will picket the Rowan County Courthouse on Monday to teach Kim Davis a thing or two about adultery. Via press release: Kim claims that she has lived in proud sin for many years, divorcing and remarrying, not one time or two times, in fact you need a score card to keep track. Her lawyers, being smooth …

Porno Pete is furious with Southern Baptist Seminary head Albert Mohler for denouncing ex-gay torture. Because in doing so, Mohler has conceded that homosexuality is an actual thing. Seriously. Miranda Blue has the quote at Right Wing Watch: “Al Mohler has given credence to the idea of homosexual sexual orientation. And we know that sexual orientation is a political construct, …

Teabagistan is going apeshit today over the news that the young woman who yesterday confronted Donald Trump about women’s rights is actually a volunteer for the Bush campaign. The Washington Post reports: As Trump supporters googled [Lauren] Batchelder’s name, they found a resume listing “intern at Jeb Bush for President 2016” and a Twitter feed containing pro-Bush tweets. Daniel Scavino …

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy today announced his bid to succeed House Speaker John Boehner, who rocked Capitol Hill this weekend with an unexpected announcement to that he will resign from Congress next month. Teabagistan’s preferred candidate, at the moment, is Rep. Daniel Webster, a disciple of bizarre Duggar-affiliated Pastor Bill Gothard, who recently resigned from the Christian institute he …

Donald Trump is demanding an apology and calling for FCC fines after a comment made about his latest GOP debate performance by National Review editor Rich Lowry, who last night appeared on The Kelly File to declare that Carly Fiorina “cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.”

This could NOT possibly be any more delicious.

Yesterday Donald Trump called on his supporters to stop watching Fox News and just now he declared that he will not be doing any more interviews there “for the foreseeable future.” Today’s move is just the latest salvo in the long-boiling Teabagistan uncivil war in which far-right sites like Breitbart have sided with Trump against Fox.

Via USA Today: It looks like Donald Trump’s war with Fox News is back on. “I am having a really hard time watching @FoxNews,” the Republican presidential front-runner tweeted late Monday. The New York businessman, whose clash with Fox began after the Aug. 6 Republican presidential debate, later singled out talk show host Bill O’Reilly, tweeting: “Why don’t you have …

Ted Cruz would like to institute his own version of Christian Sharia, so it’s not surprising that he would denounce Ben Carson for saying that a president shouldn’t intertwine his religious views with his public life. Via the Huffington Post: It’s not every day that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) publicly breaks with one of his fellow Republican rivals for the …

Teabagistan’s weeks-long civil war over Donald Trump continues to rage as evidenced by Ben Shapiro’s reaction to Trump’s ridiculous debate claims about autism and vaccinations.

For several weeks all of Teabagistan has been in a simmering civil war divided along pro-Trump / anti-Trump sides. Things began to ramp up last week when Glenn Beck called wannabe Trump running mate Sarah Palin a “clown,” adding that he was embarrassed to have ever supported her. Beck apologized the next day, but that wasn’t good enough for Breitbart, …

Breitbart has the latest infighting deliciousness: Thursday on his radio show, while discussing his appearance on CNN, radio talker Glenn Beck took aim at former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) on the heels of Wednesday’s rally against the Iran nuclear deal near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. in which they both made appearances. Beck said, “Don Lemon brings up Sarah …

Remember a couple of weeks ago when Donald Trump tweeted a reach-around to Tony Perkins, prompting Perkins to tweet back a Jedi mind trick about Trump confirming for the Values Voter Summit? Well, get ready for the Fundies Vs Trump cage match to ramp up even more, because Trump is definitely NOT going to this year’s Duggar Fest. And wow, …

As I noted last night, until very recently the talibangelicals have largely held their fire regarding the faith of Donald Trump. That began to change this week after Trump declared that “the law is the law” and that Kim Davis should look for another job. This morning the American Family Association comes after “cracker-eating” Trump with a denouncement conveniently provided …

As we expected, Donald Trump is blasting both barrels at Ben Carson, who yesterday finally played the “I’m more Jesus than Trump” card. The Hill recaps this morning’s interview: Donald Trump said on Thursday that fellow 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is being hypocritical for bringing religion into the race. “Who is he to question my faith?” Trump asked …

Thus far the fundamentalists have pretty much held back on their usual “Is he a REAL Christian?” test for Donald Trump because they’ve been so pleased with his racist attacks on immigrants. Two weeks ago when Trump declared the bible to be his favorite book yet couldn’t cite a single verse, wingnuts sites screamed with faux outrage that Trump had …

Watching the live stream, you could see a very frustrated Ted Cruz pacing back and forth in a holding pen off to the side of the Kim Davis stage. The New York Times tells us what went down: The rally Tuesday had been scheduled before it was known whether Ms. Davis would be released. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, also …
