When a elephant dies, all the scavengers arrive to eat the carcass, which makes for quite a show out on the savannah.

This perhaps explains why earlier this week we witnessed the 2nd of what are being referred to as “presidential” primary debates.

The Hyenas Gather

They've got nothing and they know it: scavengers consume the corpse of a dead elephant. A recap of the twisted pageant we're still calling "primary debates."

The Reframe

It happened like this: a bunch of people who are pretending to run for president congregated to pretend to debate over what they pretended were the issues, while a propaganda network that pretends to be a news channel televised it.

All of this seems an appropriate pageant for the Republican Party, since it is still pretending to be a political party and a participant within our democracy, instead of a fascist confederacy working to demolish and replace it.

@JuliusGoat at least it was very difficult to watch without cable! It's nice that they feel comfortable mutually masturbating to their fantasies! Bloody, hateful and sociopathic as they are I certainly won't be joining in but; good for them sharing the experience with each other!
