California GOP Conclave Laughs at Plight of Elderly Victim of MAGA Political Violence
When their wannabe dictator Dear Leader says, "Laugh," they say, "How loud?"

October 2, 2023October 3, 2023 Pensito Editors

Yahoo News: “Former President Donald Trump drew laughs from California Republicans on Friday after he ripped Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and mocked her husband, Paul Pelosi, over a brutal hammer attack against him.

“’We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco. How’s her husband doing, by the way, anybody know?’ said Trump in remarks at a California GOP convention.

“’And she’s against building a wall at our border even though she has a wall around her house, which obviously didn’t do a very good job.’

“Trump was referring to the attack that left Paul Pelosi with serious injuries after a man entered the Pelosis’ San Francisco home in an alleged attempt to kidnap the now-former House speaker in October 2022.”

Because of class-less, cruelty-is-the-point public displays like this California’s MAGA-driven Republican Party has been shedding registered voters since the 1990s. Today just 23.8 percent of Californians are registered Republicans. Democrats are 46.9 percent of the electorate – up 5 percentage points in the past five years; independents are 22.5%.)

“Because despite all the blather about Biden and Trump being the two most known ‘known quantities’ in politics, we actually don’t know how dangerous and destabilizing Trump might prove to be as his mind bends under the strain of an election and four indictments. … Or whether it’ll break entirely once he’s back in power and surrounded by the most obsequious fascist toadies he can find.”
