Still an asshole

Not funny.  Not cool. Appalling.  Describes Mike Huckabee himself.

Dipshit

Note:  he's not really going to do either of those things.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

They ARE serious

Fuck the Constitution.  Not to mention, he hasn't even gotten a second term yet.

Make sure every Republican Senator sees that before the impeachment trial.

And nobody has done anything illegal to oust him.  These people are insane.  Serious, but insane.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said he will appear on alongside Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night to “explain” how President Trump “will be eligible for a 3rd term.”

Huckabee claimed Trump’s critics, including former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats in general, as well as the news media and House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, would make the president eligible to run in the 2024 presidential election. He also said he was “named to head up the 2024 re-election.”

[...]

The president has previously joked about running for president indefinitely.

  The Hill

As we've been saying all along, he's not joking.

Impeach the motherfucker.

Dear god, Huckabee has gone full tilt

Nuts.  And by the way, that's "you're".

Perfect.

Spicer dancing addendum

Holy shit.

No shit.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Life after DC

Dear God.

The duo earned a 12 out of 30 from the judges for their routine.

[...]

“It’s like you were being attacked by a swarm of wasps,” one judge said in critiquing Spicer’s performance.

[...]

[Partner Lindsay] Arnold, 25, has described Spicer as being at a “pre-pre-school level,” adding that he “definitely isn’t natural at it.”

  The Hill

Spicer himself seemed quite pleased with his performance.

Spicer, who will reportedly earn at least $125,000 for being on the show, told The New Yorker earlier this week that joining the show “wasn’t part of the plan” but that he was “just making money, trying to enjoy life.”

That's DC for you. "Just making money."  How doesn't matter, but it's a real bonus if you get to be on TV.

I guess I should make that before and after DC.

Sad!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Holy shit.

Not enough thoughts and prayers

No surprise here.

"Despite all those who are denouncing the idea of prayers for the victims ... I will continue to pray for the victims and their families and for an end to this mindless violence, and I hope you will, too," [Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R)], who ran for the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 and 2016, wrote in a blog post on his website.

"In fact, amid all the finger-pointing and blame-laying and repulsive attempts to turn these tragedies to political advantage before the bodies are even cold, I would posit that the lack of thought and prayers is probably the single biggest factor in what is behind them," he continued.

[...]

He specifically called out former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, for calling the president racist, questioning how "someone who has repeatedly denied being racist can be an 'open, avowed racist.'"

  The Hill

Wait till Huckabee reads the New Testament.  Particularly those first four books in each of which Peter denies three times that he knows Jesus.

Alexandria comes out swinging

Good for her.  (And a lesson in understanding how careful she's going to have to be on Twitter, because every error she makes will be magnified and published.) 

 And, not sure what false statement she's referring to, but what is he talking about: "someone who thought there were 3 branches of Congress"?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

We now have the most disgusting GOP in history

And Mike Huckabee is at the top of the ladder.



Willie Horton anyone?

Color me truly surprised

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) stepped down from the Country Music Association (CMA) Foundation Board of Directors on Thursday amid backlash over his appointment.

[...]

Huckabee's resignation comes just one day after he was appointed to the role, [...]

  The Hill

And the reason is, to me, very surprising.

[...] and follows vocal opposition to his election from some CMA members over his opposition to LGBTQ rights.

Country music fans were offended by Huckabee's bigotry!  Damn!  I'm going to have to put down my country folk brush.

“What a terrible disappointment to see [the CMA Foundation’s] mission clouded by the decision to align with someone who so frequently engages in the language of racism, sexism, and bigotry,” [CMA member Whitney] Pastorek told CMA executives, according to the Tennessean.

The CMA Foundation is the CMA's charity and is dedicated to promoting country music education programs in the U.S.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

In case you wonder where Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets her nastiness

Great Christian examples, Sarah and her dad.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

The Ignorance - It Hurts

Trump probably thinks the same as Huckabee. And Huckabee was also a candidate for GOP presidency. The difference is, as Paul Ryan infamously said, Trump is new at this; Huckabee was a fucking governor.  Either he's intentionally misleading his Twitter followers, or he's an idiot who should have never been in government in the first place.  Or both, I suppose.

You’re probably hearing a lot of this because it’s the Republican talking point. But it’s only meant for those who really don’t understand the most basic ideas about our government. That is to say, it’s meant for the Trump base.

[...]

Jeff Sessions isn’t Matlock defending Trump in a very special episode.

There is no attorney-client privilege. There has been no executive privilege asserted; either it is asserted or the questions must be answered.

  Politics USA

Or not, apparently. And if the Senate Committee is not going to charge Sessions (Coats and Rogers, too) with anything - at least contempt - then they're not doing their job.

Sessions said he’s protecting the President’s right to invoke exec privilege [...] but there’s no such thing as maybe might be executive privilege one day, so it’s secret for now. It’s not as if Trump didn’t know Sessions was testifying.

[...]

The Attorney General doesn’t work for the President. The Attorney General is supposed to keep a wall of separation between the White House and DOJ investigations, and Mike Huckabee’s attempt to mislead on this point is a perfect example why Republicans are a threat to democracy.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

And....

UPDATE:

I don't know what he's talking about with Warner, but here's Huckabee an hour earlier:

He should be embarrassed, and ashamed of himself.

Hope Springs Eternal in the Trump Camp

Charles R. Black Jr., an influential Republican lobbyist supporting Mr. Trump, said the campaign was in a continuing struggle to tame him.

“He has three or four good days and then makes another gaffe,” Mr. Black said. “Hopefully, he can have some more good days.” Of Mr. Trump’s advisers, Mr. Black said, “They think he is making progress in terms of being able to make set speeches and not take the bait on every attack somebody makes on him.”

Mr. Trump’s advisers now hope to steady him by pairing him on the trail with familiar, more seasoned figures — people he views as peers and enjoys spending time with, like former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York and former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.

  NYT

Oh my god. Can this get any better?

After a meeting in late May between Mr. Trump and Karl Rove, the architect of George W. Bush’s presidential victories, Mr. Rove told associates he was stunned by Mr. Trump’s poor grasp of campaign basics, including how to map out a schedule and use data to reach voters.

Are we siuppposed to believe that Dubya could do those things?

Mr. Rove later told people he believed Mr. Trump was confused and scared in anticipation of the general election, according to people who have heard Mr. Rove’s account.

Countdown to Trump's reaction to this article.

These Fuckwits Want to Be President

Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee have seized on an odd argument to argue against taking Syrian refugees: The U.S. is too cold for them.

Huckabee and Trump both cited Minnesota as being too cold for refugees.

“A friend of mine lives in Minnesota and he calls me up and he says, ‘Can you imagine, it’s 130 degrees in Syria and now they want to send some of them up to Minnesota where it’s 30 degrees,” Trump told supporters in Knoxville, Tennessee on Monday. “These people are going to be very very unhappy,” he added. “It’s cold, and beautiful, but it’s cold.”

Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee said nearly the same thing in an interview with Fox News radio.

“And if you think about it, we would be bringing people in who lived in the desert their entire lives, and they would be completely disrupted, not only in terms of their culture, their language, their religion, my gosh even in terms of their climate,” Huckabee said Monday. “Can you imagine bringing in a bunch of Syrian refugees who’ve lived in the desert their whole lives that are suddenly thrown into an English speaking community? Where it’s maybe in Minnesota where it is 20 degrees below zero? I mean just I don’t understand what we possibly can be thinking.”

  Buzzfeed

Well, I think I know what YOU'RE thinking.

Jesus, as though there are no cold deserts, and as though a constant war with danger of loss of life or limb for you and your family would be better than adjusting to a colder climate.

Huckabee made the same comments to Breitbart News radio on Monday too.

“Why would we remove people from a desert climate,” said Huckabee, again. “There’s no reason under god’s earth to send people who have lived in a desert their whole life, who may speak Arabic or some other language and put them in Minnesota for the winter. Can anybody tell me that makes any sense, it simply does not.”

Dear Mr. Huckabee, although I can tell you are truly caring about the welfare of Syrians, it appears you are not well informed on their country's climate.  May I offer you a link to Syrian climate information since you are obviously too stupid to find out for yourself before you spout off?

The interior has four different dry climate types: the central part of Syria has a cold steppe climate and a cold desert climate. Further to the east this changes into a warm steppe climate (northeast) and a warm desert climate (southeast).

[...]

During the winter daytime temperatures are mild, especially along the coast. During the night subzero temperatures in the interior are not uncommon. During the winter snowfall is not uncommon. [...] Under the influence of daytime temperatures snow will almost always melt within a day. An exception to this is the mountainous region in the southwestern part of Syria. In the higher regions chances of snowfall are higher, and snow may remain for a longer period of time. Some regions are even suitable for winter sports such as Mount Hermon which is situated on the tripoint of Lebanon, Israel and Syria.

And, Mr. Trump.  You're plainly just an ass.  "These people are going to be very very unhappy."  It's not like they're planning a vacation.  They're obviously very very unhappy in the middle of a goddamned war.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway, asshat.
