CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The cartoon in this post was conceived and completed Friday, before I saw it reported that Donald Trump Jr. opened his CPAC speech calling it “TPAC.”
“How’s it going CPAC? Or I heard someone a little earlier phrase it a little bit better -TPAC. What it feels like guys,” said Don Jr. forming his hands into a T.
Yes it’s what it feels and looks like, but Rep Liz Cheney and other true Republican Conservatives would disagree that TPAC is “a little bit better.”
Hasbro also announced a name change for Mr. Potato Head. “Mr” is being dropped in an effort to make the toy more gender inclusive.
“Hasbro is making sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world by officially dropping the Mr. Potato Head brand name and log0 to promote gender equality and inclusion”
The company followed its initial statement with a “clarifying” one on twitter.
“Hold that Tot - your main spud, MR POTATO HEAD isn’t going anywhere. While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the ’MR.’ I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD.”
Josh Mandel doesn’t want to remain ‘MR’. He spoke at CPAC Friday in his campaign to replace ‘MR’ with ‘Senator’ in front of his name. The Trumplican candidate to replace Sen Rob Portman, attacked Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, an old school Republican conservative, as “swishy.”
It was the kind of petty name calling Sen Portman said former President Trump should avoid in his CPAC speech. Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week,” Portman said Trump should instead focus on what Portman views as Trump’s successful and popular policies not “personalities” and “impeachment.”
Speaking of personalities, Friday it was being reported that in his CPAC speech Trump may go after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Trump is said to have been fuming that McCarthy has gone too easy on Rep Liz Cheney who said CPAC should move on from Trump.
While Hasbro wants to promote gender inclusion, at TPAC the tator options are limited to Trumplican and fast food fries.
