The Good, the Bad & the Very, Very Luctiferously Ugly!

And the very, very ugly! Ted Nugent If there's an awful narrative in the media - you can count on Ted Nugent to find a way to make it even worse. Take the student who was thrown to the ground and dragged out of her desk in South Carolina earlier this week. Ted Nugent's ugly attitude is summed up in the blog post that he titled: "That High-School Brat Had it Coming." And he ends it with - "Act like an animal and you will end up being treated like an animal." In that one statement - Nugent manages to be racist - fascist - AND pro-animal abuse.

Rumble: Is the GOP Party dying?

Scott Greer, The Daily Caller & Sam Sacks, The District Sentinel & Hughey P. Newsome, Move-On-Up/The Objective Citizen joins Thom Hartmann. Donald Trump has been spending months running on the platform that he doesn't need money from billionaires or average Americans - because he's really rich. And that's about the most coherent platform any of the Republican candidates have announced. Between candidates who want to gut Medicare and candidates who want students to turn their professors over to Koch-funded authorities for engaging in liberal political speech - the Republican party is looking less and less coherent as a party. But it's pretty clear that all of the Republican candidates share one common goal - to help make billionaires like the Koch's richer. So - what's happened to the GOP? Have the billionaires made dysfunctional the new normal for the GOP - so that it's not even a viable political party anymore?
