Namby, meet pamby. I’m talking, naturally, of Chris Sununu, governor of New Hampshire, who slithered into a Zoom call on This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday to explain why he will be voting for Donald Trump for president come November. Not because Trump doesn’t have any responsibility for the attempted coup and attack on the Capitol on Jan.
Sununu's father was one of the main Republicans responsible for turning early bipartisan support for climate change action around, making it a dogmatic requirement that Republicans treat climate change as a "hoax". John Sununu is one of the main climate emergency sinners.
I could not believe that he kept repeating that more than 51% of the country agrees with him when that's so clearly a lie. George did not speak up to tell him that that's absolutely false. Even George failed to challenge a clear lie. WTF.
I heard John Meacham today say that 50% of the country doesn't care if Trump committed crimes or not. Ridiculous! If somebody like Meacham believes that I'm not sure what to think. Is it just laziness, rounding off to the nearest 10, or disinformation?
People lie in polls. All they tell us is what people say they believe. They're almost worthless.
Words keep failing . . . Donald J. Trump is hands-down the worst president the U.S. has ever had (and not because he doesn't have some serious competition). He's hands-down incapable of dealing with any of the challenges the country, and the world, are currently up against. And yet Sununu, and undoubtedly many, many others, will vote for him because “states rights come first, individual rights come first, parents rights come first”? WTF? I wonder what George Orwell would make of this.
It's true that Trump is incapable of dealing with any of the challenges the country and the world face. But it's not merely because he is stupid and willfully ignorant (being too insecure ever to admit his ignorance). More important, he is unaware of any challenges, because, being a narcissist, he is aware only of himself and his needs. His reaction to the pandemic is an example. First, he denied its existence because he thought that it would hurt him politically. Then he denied New York City respirators because its residents didn't back him politically. Eventually, his inaction, his quack cures, and his downplaying of masks killed several hundred thousand Americans. All this was not because he was incapable, even though he was. It was because he is a pathological narcissist. Some people will vote for Trump out of stupidity or ignorance or both. Sununu lacks those excuses.
Sununu is clearly a moral coward, or he is amoral, which would rather make him somewhat like Trump. It's not that he can't admit he was wrong--he was in a perfect position to stand up to Trump, given his support of Haley--because once upon a time he was right. Mabe he just wants to belong.
Chris Sununu is cut from the same amoral cloth as his brother and his father. John H Sununu--Chris Sununu's father--was George HW Bush's Chief of Staff and proved himself to be no better than any other Republican. So the amorality is in his DNA. Also, northern New Hampshire is sparsely populated, businesses have been fleeing the area since the paper mills closed. Jobs are scarce and the folks there trend at least as deeply red Republican as does Empty Greene's Georgia District--which no doubt accounts for the imitation of Empty's rhetoric.
How can all three come first?? Besides thought for Repubs that Jesus always comes first, even though few of them though few of them make any effort to follow his teachings.
This declaration made just south of 3/4 of a century ago by the late great Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) demonstrates how insightful wimmin are and how blind and deaf Republican men to a clear and present danger: Me-thinks the Governor of the Live Free or Die State qualifies as one to which it is directed.
“I would like to speak briefly and simply about a serious national condition. It is a national feeling of fear and frustration that could result in national suicide and the end of everything that we Americans hold dear.....I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear. . . . Surely we Republicans aren’t that desperate for victory.”
Yes, all true. But watching Trump slump and sleep at the first day of his trial in New York today tells a different story. The man is a mess, exhausted, and stressed and finally a bit worried that at least one of his crimes will be held against him. As this trial wears on, his weaknesses will be more and more apparent. Cowards like Sununu will begin to realize that Trump's power is tenuous, after all. I bet they hate him for subjugating them, and will not be so compliant in months to come.
Yes, I wondered if they had to sedate him to keep him in order. He's normally jacked up on Adderal so this is some different drug for him. They will have to get the dosing right. Hope they never do.
True, but since Maggie Haberman, bêre noire of so many here, reported it first maybe it doesn't count. Actually, listening to early morning news I doubted the big liar got any sleep last night. And that's how he looked and acted—on top of already steady decline. The Trump Tower penthouse must have been frantic overnight.
I tend to agree that he dozed off because he got very little, if any, sleep the night before. Being sleep-deprived, plus poor physical condition, AND the stress of being in a place he's never spent much time before (i.e., a courtroom) places his heart (what there is of one) in serious jeopardy of failure. Now wouldn't that be a wonderful outcome of this trial?!
Except his cultists would still make him into a martyr, claiming that the "witch hunt" hounded him to death (ignoring his obviously poor diet and lifestyle choices).
Yes, he would be a martyr, but not for long. We humans have a short attention span, and without the man, the myth would fade like the Cheshire Cat's smile. The cultists aren't going to attach themselves to just any other figure in the GOP Party and might even decide not to vote if they couldn't vote for Trump (and I even bet that some would write in the dead man's name, 'cos that's how "dedicated" -- read dumb --they really are.)
Another reason to want to see him in a courtroom every day, day after day. And that's where he's going to be for several weeks. We can always dream. I read that his campaign sent a mailing during his first appearance stating that he had stormed out of court!!! Refusing to credit real news, it's no wonder MAGAts live in a bubble.
I would like to agree, but as the trial wears on Trump will continue his campaign of hate and lies, etc and if the past is a guide to the future, neither the MSM NOR THE DEMOCRATS will make a big thing out of the lies, the hate and all the rest. If you think about it, the major messages are all about Trump and what he says, thinks, and does. If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes "truth" for many. Alas.
The entire Sununu justification tour is disgusting, but I thought the worst thing he said is that Repubs don't want to be told "how to live their lives." Really?? That's all Repubs do! State after red state has passed laws dictating how people are required to think, let along the whole abortion fiasco. Here in Indiana the legislature has overruled city ordinances, passed a law retroactively giving gun makers immunity from a lawsuit by the city of Gary against them that has been pending for more then ten years, and requiring state college Boards of Trustees to make evaluations of individual professors as to whether they support conservative ideology, and to deny them tenure if they don't. And Tennessee is even worse. Repubs are now the Thought Police. I guess it doesn't matter though as long as people have the right to carry AK-47s everywhere, except of course in the legislature.
R move toward extremism has been a steady train for 50 years. Maybe longer if you count the shift of so-called Dixie-crats to the R party in the 60's. Policies that used to be the middle of the road are now deemed socialism. We're seeing it with abortion, education is in dire straits in many states adopting horrible curriculum. And right on down the line. If D's don't vote bc Biden isn't giving them 100% of what they want, what do they think they will get if Biden loses?
That is exactly the question. In my 20s I assumed I should "vote my conscience." The election of Ronald Reagan taught me there was more to it than that, and I wised up. The Biden administration's Middle East policy pisses me off, but U.S. Middle East policy has pissed me off for 50+ years and counting at this point. Of course I'll vote Biden-Harris anyway. And I can tell that much of my work in the coming months is going to be about persuading my colleagues in the Israel-Palestine solidarity movement that sitting out this election is not a good move.
Why are they so willing to sell their souls especially to some creature who is beyond contempt? Their retirement pension and health benefits ensure a comfortable life if they quit today.
Are they that desperate to hold onto their places in Congress?
I always thought snakes tasted much like chicken? I don't know for sure because I have never tried snake--although I have had turtle and frog (both of which did have a flavor remarkably similar to chicken).
Yes, snake taste is often compared to chicken. They hold much hope in dealing with global insecurity and being an offset to hooved food animals.
Learned from my Father how to catch male snapping turtles, then how to shell them. Like much of American game whether meat or fish, the best live in colder climates. Have lots of snapping turtle storytells of folk who didn't realize a dead or alive snapper can be to fingers, kids, and pets. And other stories of folk tossing snappers in their trunk to bring them to someone who knows what to do with them. The first rule is don't pit them in a vehicle trunk or anywhere in a vehicle uncovered. Rule2 auto insurance companies will not pay for damage by an unattended snapper unless it came upon the vehicle in a parking lot. Rule3 is the 3finger rule. Never hand over a snapper to anyone with only 3 fingers. S/he still hasn't learned how to shell one. So, prolly will puncture organs and not properly take off the fat leaving you a pile of a bloody mess.
Considering who, and what, his father was, no one should expect anything resembling a spine when the going gets tough.
And Stephanopoulos should quit if that's the best he can do interviewing a two bit sycophant like Sununu -- he challenged nothing, not even that ridiculous "51%", let alone that the cases against Trump are "political..
It's a continual mystery to me as to why correspondents such as Stephanopoulos and others don't call out these guys in the way you describe, Lucian, in your third paragraph. Follow up when these guys spew their nonsense...no they just leave those words hanging in mid air, unchallenged. I do not understand it.
Fear? I can only assume it's a preemptive surrender "in case Trump wins the election." Perhaps these correspondents are following orders from above to do (or not) so.
I assume the hosts have done a lot of prep and have a list of questions fashioned for all available time they want answered—no time to lolligag following up. Legendary interviewers like Bill Moyers and (despicable) Charlie Rose listen to answers and promote conversation.
Ii think everyone should work at a restaurant for a while; I did (I was terrible at it but learned a lot), and it convinced me that bad tipping is a sure sign of moral decay. And worse.
Yes, even so it's an excellent point made about nepotism, "name recognition in politics" overriding detailed evaluations, and how out of sync with his skill set and Sununu's dysfunctional, wild weather vane kind of moral compass is with being a governor.
That's for sure. It's gotta be one of the hardest jobs there is. I couldn't do it. I worked in a Jack in the Box once for about 6 hours. I quit and never went back.
I lasted one shift at a pre-gambling Atlantic City restaurant, went to work a day later at a waffles-pancakes-donuts-&-burgers joint. I had found my level. I kept that job two of the best summers of my life.
Apparently Sununu has announced that he will not run for re-election in 2024. Good riddance. Any chance of New Hampshire electing a Democratic governor?
My neighbors to the north are going to have to change their state motto , Live free or die .Once a proud statement in defiance of tyranny is possibly about to change ! The good people of New Hampshire have been sold out by a scumbag hack ,who is his slimy father’s son ! Sununu played his last hand in a game of deceit, and pure traitorous republican politics,he sold out the Granite State to a bunch of corrupt Neo Nazis,so he could continue his self serving existence by kneeling to a psychopathic, deranged ,madman intent on destroying the Constitutional Republic of the United States 🇺🇸 ! The people of New Hampshire have been lied to and deceived by this spineless turncoat and his traitorous political party! The new state motto may become “ Submit or die “if my northern neighbors continue to elect self serving , cowards who will never represent them honestly to positions of power!
Poor souls like Sununu don’t have a party anymore. And they know it.
But I suspect “their” party is making them offers they can’t refuse. That’s what happens when thugs take over a party and control the national committee servers… and can peek at everybody’s old emails etc.
It was a very effective little gold mine for the Russians when they hacked in in 2015 as I believe likely happened.
Most Americans have no idea how right you are. A resentful enemy’s tired tradecraft, juiced up with new technology— and, in the U.S., declining capacity for critical judgement—have brought us to the brink of regime change.
I was incensed watching this interview, wondering what all the NH Haley supporters will do when he's up for reelection or chasing a seat in congress. Sununu is my governor. A coward and a traitor!
There has never really been anything "reasonable" about Sununu. He is an asshole, as was his father. Is he up for re-election this year?
Sununu's father was one of the main Republicans responsible for turning early bipartisan support for climate change action around, making it a dogmatic requirement that Republicans treat climate change as a "hoax". John Sununu is one of the main climate emergency sinners.
He 's not running again...It could get even worse up here...Kelly Ayotte is running
Ugh. I remember her. Are there any Democrats with a shot at winning?
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, however she has only raised half the amount of Ayotte...need to find out who is funding Ayotte
More dark money funding. Look to the Koch family, etc.
I could not believe that he kept repeating that more than 51% of the country agrees with him when that's so clearly a lie. George did not speak up to tell him that that's absolutely false. Even George failed to challenge a clear lie. WTF.

People lie in polls. All they tell us is what people say they believe. They're almost worthless.
A poll, I forget which, had shown that 51% support. Apparently he thought it so reliable it put enough fear of God in him he dug in his heres.

No idea. Maybe he thinks they're a troika -- a three-horse hitch in front of a sleigh?
Tri-joined triplets
Add one more and they could be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Bare-chested Putin riding his undersized horse could make the fourth.
Perfect!

He looked sedated walking in and then barely keeping his eyes open. The only way to contain him. I'm surprised no one has said that. Or have they?
Now that you mention it.... good thought. I assumed he was worn-out from another aii nighter raging on Truth Social
That was my thought, too.
Yes, I wondered if they had to sedate him to keep him in order. He's normally jacked up on Adderal so this is some different drug for him. They will have to get the dosing right. Hope they never do.
It's truly weird to witness him sedated, almost calm.
Heard it was front page news in the Times, WSJ, Huffington Post et al
True, but since Maggie Haberman, bêre noire of so many here, reported it first maybe it doesn't count. Actually, listening to early morning news I doubted the big liar got any sleep last night. And that's how he looked and acted—on top of already steady decline. The Trump Tower penthouse must have been frantic overnight.

They arent rational. If he died In flagrante delicto with some tootsie, they'd invent some twisted rationale to blame Dems.
Another reason to want to see him in a courtroom every day, day after day. And that's where he's going to be for several weeks. We can always dream. I read that his campaign sent a mailing during his first appearance stating that he had stormed out of court!!! Refusing to credit real news, it's no wonder MAGAts live in a bubble.
As does P01135890 and now he is learning about the REAL world, no wonder he wants to go to sleep. This trial is not a reality show!
I would like to agree, but as the trial wears on Trump will continue his campaign of hate and lies, etc and if the past is a guide to the future, neither the MSM NOR THE DEMOCRATS will make a big thing out of the lies, the hate and all the rest.

As mentioned elsewhere in these comments, all the hypocritical things you cite weren't challenged in the least by George Stephanopoulos. Shame on him.
Well, give George credit because he asked a barrage of questions that Sununu just sheepishly smiled and said yes to.
Yep. They distort the idea of freedom totally.
A preview of the future of the country if it is in the hands of the MAGA GOP;
R move toward extremism has been a steady train for 50 years. Maybe longer if you count the shift of so-called Dixie-crats to the R party in the 60's.

Are they that desperate to hold onto their places in Congress?
I do not understand.
It is a mystery Why. But human depravity knows no bounds, and so does avarice.
Because republicans have no soul. It’s all about $$
Has anyone looked around for his spine?
Look in the jelly jar ...
Classic
He has the spine of a snake
No need to defame snakes. ijs
Good point,
Considering snake meat* is tasty and likely in the near to replace beef for a host of environmental and cost reasons, shoulda' been more respectful.
*Snake ranches or is it snake farms are already a BFD in parts of Africa and South Asia.
I always thought snakes tasted much like chicken? I don't know for sure because I have never tried snake--although I have had turtle and frog (both of which did have a flavor remarkably similar to chicken).

Right - I guess those days are over now!
Few changes in the news biz have been for the better in recent years.
But for his last name Sununu would be working in a restaurant right now.
Hey, nothing wrong with working in a restaurant. Most who do have more abilities and diplomatic bones than this particular Sununu.
Ii think everyone should work at a restaurant for a while; I did (I was terrible at it but learned a lot), and it convinced me that bad tipping is a sure sign of moral decay. And worse.
Yes, even so it's an excellent point made about nepotism, "name recognition in politics" overriding detailed evaluations, and how out of sync with his skill set and Sununu's dysfunctional, wild weather vane kind of moral compass is with being a governor.

I lasted one shift at a pre-gambling Atlantic City restaurant, went to work a day later at a waffles-pancakes-donuts-&-burgers joint. I had found my level. I kept that job two of the best summers of my life.
A bit of an insult to the restaurant workers.
Yes. I should've said unemployed and living in his mom's basement....
Probably not for long.
Apparently Sununu has announced that he will not run for re-election in 2024. Good riddance. Any chance of New Hampshire electing a Democratic governor?
Thinks he'll be in the Drumpf administration???
After what went down in the last Trump administration, anyone who *wants* to be part of one is several cards short of a full deck.
And so he must be!
As long as the Democrat hammers on Dobbs all day every day. Prevaricate and try to straddle and lose...
I saw Sununu spout that bilge on ABC's Sunday show and was revolted. To put a latter-day spin on an old remark of Graydon Carter's, "Shame is dead."
(Nice job talking back to all that dreck.)
