Folks, we're doomed. The GOP is an intellectual and electoral juggernaut that can not be stopped.

The GOP is Sending a ‘Lyin Lion’ Mascot to Stalk Comey on His Book Tour



The Republican National Committee is sending out a furry costumed lion to stalk James Comey on his book tour.

The Hill reported the appearance of ‘Lyin Lion Comey’ at Comey’s tour stops, with CNN’s Jeff Zeleny tweeting out that CNN “has learned the Republican campaign to discredit the former FBI director is now turning to lions, including this fury costumed creature who will be tailing Comey on his upcoming book tour. This gives new meaning to the role of tracker.”

The GOP, apparently unembarrassed by their move, then confirmed Lyin’ Lion Comey was, indeed, on the trail.

The furry stalker is just the GOP’s latest attempt to discredit the Trump-fired FBI director, who has been making regular rounds on the network news to promote his new book, including a much-touted appearance on ABC News.

In addition to the lion stunt, the RNC has recently launched a website that claims to set the record straight about Comey who, according to the webpage “wants to portray himself as a non-partisan, by-the-book Boy Scout rather than a politically motivated Washington insider.”

Have someone standing right by him with a sign: Trump lied about releasing his taxes.

Or various other signs.

Don't even need a costume.

Someone dressed as a safari hunter with a fake rifle holding a flip chart of tRump's most outrageous lies.

Just going back through the campaign and months he's served (himself) in office, there's enough lies that a chart could be flipped once a minute during a book signing and there would be plenty left over.

even the GOPeePee's role model Himmler and the rest of the Nazis never had a furry character mascot pitch in to propagandize.

Comey's tour should have some fake cops to cart the fake lion off for assault or even trespassing (Philadelphia cops seem to think it's a felony), and when the fake cops want to go out for a Starbucks break, call in some real cops. The fake lion won't be informed of the substitution, will start to resist arrest, and be rewarded with either a near-fatal choke hold or some minor .38 caliber perforation, courtesy of the local constabulary, who will not take "I thought you were fake cops" as a reason to release them on their own recognizance.

Politically motivated FOR WHO? Comey's a REPUBLICAN...

Apparently, if you're a Republican that doesn't care for having a deplorable racist mob-boss wannabe as president, that means you're a deep - state liburl who hates murica.

These people are NOT gonna go back under their rocks of their own volition. They're going to have to be PUT there...
