12/2/21: Trump took two lumps on the noggin’ regarding GOP candidates running for open seats in the U.S. Senate in 2022. In Pennsylvania, his endorsed candidate, Sean Parnell, quit the race after losing custody of his children in court. And why? The judge ruled there was cause to believe Parnell had been abusive.

“Noxious,” “offensive,” an “idiot.”
J.D. Vance,
describing Trump

As the Washington Post explains:
[His estranged wife] said one
time, her husband had pinned her down and called her a “whore” and a “piece of
s---.” Another time, he forced her out of their vehicle and told her to “go get
an abortion,” the [Philadelphia] Inquirer reported.
Sean Parnell’s campaign website states that he opposes abortion rights
and “will always vote to protect the unborn.”
Laurie Parnell also testified that her husband slapped one of their three young children, leaving “fingerprint-shaped welts” on the child’s back, according to the Inquirer. She also said he once strangled her on a couch, only relenting after she bit him to free herself.
In Ohio, Team Trump asked the Conservative Club for Growth to take down campaign ads bashing J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate in the primaries, for the open seat vacated by retiring Sen. Rob Portman.
Those commercials made it clear that Vance had previously called Trump “offensive,” “noxious,” and an “idiot.”
Trump might not want Vance to
win – but he really doesn’t want Ohioans to be pondering the fact that a
Republican called Trump an “idiot.”

AT THE RIGHT-WING END of the political spectrum, Tucker Carlson spent part of his nightly show defending Alex Jones – recent loser of multiple defamation cases, and purveyor of expensive boner pills for men on his InfoWars website. Tuck called Jones a better “guide to reality” than most mainstream news outlets. He assured a guest that Jones was a real journalist.
“Yes, journalist,” he insisted.
“Jones is often mocked for his flamboyance, but the truth is he’s been a far better guide to reality in recent years – in other words, a far better journalist – than, say, NBC News national security correspondent Ken Dilanian or Margaret Brennan of CBS.”
This is the guy who said the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a false flag. This is the guy who said those of us who got the shots for COVID would be dead in a year. Which means Donald J. Trump should already be moldering in his grave. And I’ve only got a few weeks to live.
What had Tuck fuming? He was outraged to learn that the Congressional panel investigating the attack on the Capitol last January wanted to talk with Jones.
In Tuck’s
fantasy world Jones is under attack because he “makes fun of Biden.”
That’s not even remotely true, because Tuck makes fun of Biden regularly, as do all the hosts at Fox News. (See also: 12/3/21 and 12/16/21.)
In
any case, you can go to the website for Jones’ show and find fine products
available
at bargain prices. For example:
The average shopper in Jones’ “store” is probably thinking one ounce of Lung Cleanse Plus, for only $29.95, is probably going to protect them from COVID!
And
then, we have
this: 30
capsules for only $34.95.
