I’ve long operated on the principle that anyone Kardashian-adjacent – Kanye, Caitlyn, whoever – needs to be avoided like the plague. Of course, Caitlyn provides some comic relief because so far she hasn’t been able to open her mouth without making a gaffe. But besides her entitlement, as far as trans rights go she’s a classic case of someone who climbed the ladder, then pulled it up after herself.

Bitch is crazy. She’ll fit right in as a Republican.

Black Senators who have been racially profiled for driving 18 times denying America’s racism, a trans woman denying trans girls the opportunity to play sports, physician Senator who denies that masks suppress viral spread - there’s room in the Republican Party for everyone happily harboring contradictory beliefs. Up next: Republican astronaut who denies gravity is a “law,” and a Republican flat earther who seeks corporate support for her entry in the around the world sailing race.

A Reality TV star might make a great chief executive. What could go wrong?

Caitlyn has gone from a silly ex Olympian to a profoundly silly woman.

In retrospect, the inane disaster that “Can’t Stop the Music” and Jenner’s odd flatness of affect therein were some sort of warning…

The one cool thing is that Jenner's so unappealing as a candidate -- fully unfit, unqualified and running on a 1% Bro platform -- that the trans matter is completely irrelevant.

And I guess this is going to be the first big election in which we get a clue whether the significant truly independent voters on which elections ride have had their fill with patently unfit and unqualified celebrities.

Besides, I don't know if Jenner's actually Trumpy enough for the GOP voters although I could see Donnie's endorsement: If she was a real woman, she'd be a 10. (Don't hate me, I'm just channeling.) Too, Donnie has a fetish for woman with extensive cosmetic surgery.

I know it isn't news that a Republican candidate for office might be a hypocrite, but have to note that Caitlyn Jenner competed in the ANA Inspiration Pro-Am golf tournament in Rancho Mirage, California, in 2016 as a woman, driving from the women's tees (which are closer to the flag), and hasn't apologized yet. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/golf/caitlyn-jenner-doesnt-want-trans-girls-competing-in-girls-sports-but-played-in-womens-golf-tournament/ar-BB1gjqvn

Nixon came from California, too. And I don't think I'd use he-man examples, "Bruce".

The dreadful parody with which South Park slaughtered B/C would have been warning enough for someone who wasn't nuts.

It's in a jar on the mantle, but still.

If you think she's something, wait til you hear about the guy campaigning with a live bear with the slogan (and I swear I am not making this up) Defeat Beauty (Gavin) Elect the Beast (Cox) . And we're just getting started. You thought the Davis recall was weird...
