Exciting sports news this week: Donald Trump campaign events are now the third most popular contact sport behind football and hockey, and the second most likely to cause CTE. Pundits and bookies are working together to predict when the first actual human sacrifice will occur at a Trump rally.

Trump rallies have always felt like a political stump speech given during an Ultimate Fighting match, because Trump and his supporters are fucked up, angry, stupid, nasty people. Over the past year of Donald Trump’s campaign for PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES, we’ve seen headlines such as:

“Trump Supporters Making America Great Again, by Beating Homeless Hispanic Guys” when two brothers beat the living shit out of a 58-year-old homeless Hispanic man and broke his nose in Boston of course, and they actually said they were inspired by Donald Trump.

“Trump Supporters Welcome Black Guy To Rally, With Their Fists”, when a black dude got punched while being called “nigger” and “monkey (LOL)”, in Birmingham, Alabama.

“Moving a lot Closer to the Platonic Ideal of a Trump Rally”, when in Las Vegas , allegedly tiny-dicked candidate Trump wished out loud that he could punch another protester in the face, and after ratcheting up the rhetoric about Muslims again, a half-dozen Trump Hat Guys punched and kicked a black protester, tackling him, then punching and kicking him while he was on the ground. One Trumptrooper even let the excitement get the best of him and shrieked  “Sieg Heil!” as the protester was dragged away. Reporters on hand said they had never seen anything like the fevered hysteria that gripped the ballroom in Las Vegas, minor riots conveniently positioned around the hall so everyone could get a look-see. The rally was missing were some torches and marching music, or perhaps to emphasize that Trump is the biggest Christian ever, a prominent display of a cross, lit up with kerosene so everyone could see it real good. The crowd certainly enjoyed each ejection of a protester:

“Kick his ass!” yelled one.

“Shoot him!” shouted another.

Shoot. Him. When a white activist proclaimed “Black lives matter!” as she was being carted out of the building, a male Trump supporter leaned toward her and seethed, “White lives matter” (sadly, the crowd was unable to reach a consensus on whether to shoot the guy or kick his ass, so instead he got away unscathed).

I like it when Republicans talk more about the issues because it highlights how stupid and wrong they are about everything instead of just pointing out how they are revolting, horrible people when they argue and name call and whine about everything.

Welcome to female fandom in the NFL, a strange parallel universe where football teams desperately clamor for our money while reinforcing all of the stereotypes that we’ve fought for decades to displace.

GA Governor Nathan Deal Blasts ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill as Unchristian: ‘We Don’t Need to Feel Threatened’ Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia is a Republican.

Who is Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal? Georgia Gov Nathan Deal is a Christian. He loves the Bible SO MUCH, he made sure cabins in state campgrounds were equipped with copies of Jesus’s The Bible. But he’s also a Republican. A super Republican. And as a Super Republican, Gov Deal hates Syrian refugees like Jesus did, and he wants to make sure that if any of those gross people get into Georgia, they won’t be allowed to bathe in the excessive crab leg riches provided by food stamps. See, Deal is pretty casual about actually following some of Christ’s advice, especially the things about hippie argle-bargle that jesus did not believe, like treating strangers as you would your neighbor. It’s a pretty messed up world when you have to travel through war torn regions with death and destruction and your light at the end of the tunnel is fucking Georgia.That’s why Deal was among the 27 governors who, after the Paris terrorist attacks, bombastically announced that Syrian refugees were not welcome in Georgia. Had Jesus wanted us to take in strangers from foreign lands, surely He would have mentioned it. Quell Surprise.

Dear Red State Republicans:

What you are now feeling is the sting of corporate authoritarianism. Yet, you continue to blame those out of your own suicidal loop. Hysteria at getting ‘them’ out of the government and taking ‘our’ country back from ‘them’ has taken such fanatical foothold that you continue to vote against every principle our parents and grandparen­ts put in place in an effort to make a better world for all. The cheers at the thought of someone tapping family members for money to prevent death will last until YOUR grandmothe­r, YOUR child needs government help. The cheers at the number of executions a state of illiterate racists committed until YOUR brother, YOUR son-in-law who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets unjustly accused, and is KILLED, KILLED! Yes, trying to change America would be bad….and this appeals to a bunch of poor, unhealthy slobs dying of treatable illnesses that seeing a doctor years ago would have caught. Or to a bunch of fucking idiots swimming in student loan debt from when they attended college or maybe a bunch of fucking imbeciles who’ll have to work until age 75 because of the blessed free market bestowed upon America by God Hisself in the Constitution, and because Wall Street absconded with their 401K plans to use on its diet of cocaine and hookers.

A new President will Take America Back to, we dunno, 2008? Some time when the president didn’t go around ordering the IRS to hire New Black Panthers to kill our ambassadors at the behest of Vladimir Putin? figure if your path to victory only includes trying to suppress the other side’s ability to vote, you have completely run out of viable ideas for this country and will eventually just fade into obscurity when demographics completely run your ass over.
