The Republican primary debate

The two South Asians, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, standing next to each other at the recent debate, shaking their fingers, I thought one was going to eat the other, and yelling at each other. Quite a sight. Is this India, in its various iterations? As some used to say — Only in America. The only other BIPOCer (that’s Black Indigenous People of Color, for the still uninitiated), Tim Scott, the only Black Senator in Congress, and now with Max Hurd, who says he’s not running for re-election to the House, the only Black in either chamber, Scott, a self-described “nice guy” defining the term cipher, of whatever hue, and Chris Christie, is he an honorary African, being Italian?

Well, what do we have here?

What we have is an 80 plus police motorcycle-cade to escort The Orange BlubberBlabber Mouth to the infamous Fulton County prison. (Who be payin’ the freight on this bloated display?) The only indicted co-conspirator to submit his own height and weight — 6’3, 215. How about 240, Tubby?

Or is that Tubberville, the ex-football coach, the Alabama Senator holding up the approval of hundreds of commissions in our military, endangering our national security, BIGTIME, because he disapproves of paying for military women to cross state lines for necessary medical care, thanks Tubbs, “How could I be a racist, when I coached football?”

Huh?

Speaking of Christie, I did love his answer, getting the biggest laugh of the evening, in fact, the only laugh, when the moderator asked him about UFO’s. He said something like You too are from New Jersey and you are asking me about UFO’s?

And then there is Mike Pence. Is he worth more than one? A tuppence for his thoughts. Actually, he seems to have some. (Or does he get them from Mother, his wife of many years who wouldn’t dare let him have dinner with another woman alone? Their knees might touch under the table. Ooo, what a frisson!)

The fact that Farthing sought out the renowned legal scholar Dan Quayle to ask if he could overturn the election and that Q in his Solomonic wisdom opined Don’t cut the baby, it hasn’t been born yet, we’ll get to that abortion stuff later, showed a pound of wisdom, or at least a sou.

Again, what do we have here? 240 saying that the Indicted co-conspirators have had their lives ruined by these “animal” prosecutors. No, Blubber, they have had their lives ruined by you and their own rank avidity and stupidity. And they keep giving you pence or shillings?

Did I say rank stupidity? How do you rank that stupidity? As we say en Espagnyol, Muy Stupido.
