“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a Republican. But I repeat myself.”

― Harry S. Truman

Marge Traitor Greene decries the US sending cluster munitions to Ukraine because of course, she’s a humanitarian. Funny, as Marge is now holding hands with the far left. She has no problem with Russian war crimes, no problems with the Russians using white phosphorus. Or with Russia attacking civilians blowing up dams or threatening the use of nukes in Europe.

Her only issue is with what Joe Biden is doing. She’s introduced an impeachment resolution due to the issues at the Southern border. Now, she’s introduced legislation to force the US leave NATO. Marge makes herself irrelevant by her constant bomb throwing. It doesn’t matter what the Biden Administration does, she’s agin it. So, you might as well just ignore her.

Tommy Tupperware failed former Auburn football coach turned Alabama Senator says, “White Nationalist are just Americans.” Explaining succinctly, why the state of Alabama has one of the worst reputations in the United States. In the strictest sense, Tupperware is correct. It’s not against the law to be a racist or a bigot. That’s just Alabama politics. They love to talk like that in Alabama and don’t give a damn if it retards investment or drives away millions & millions of dollars from the state.

Tupperware says, “White Nationalists” are just Americans and he’s 110% against Racism. Much like saying he likes Nazis but is 110% against the Holocaust. It’s racist code talking, and it’s not illegal, only distasteful and disgraceful.

The charges against Clarence Thomas fall from the sky like the gentle rain. Thomas ignores the charges with an open contempt for the American people. Marge Greene has no problem with every day is Christmas at Clarence’s house, and neither does Tommy Tupperware. Terrible Tom is holding up Military appointments because he doesn’t like the militaries stance on Abortion. But Tommy had no issue with the policy when Trump was president.

In the face of a record heat wave across the country. Greg “Bubba” Abbott, Republican governor of Texas passes a new law to do away with water breaks for outdoor workers. Let them die, who gives a shit? Do you have any idea what those water breaks are costing the company? Cleverly, the law doesn’t go into effect until September. So, by next summer the issue will be long forgotten about.

The Texas legislature is working out the details of the largest tax give away in history. A tax cut for the rich and a lashing for the poor. They want to repeal $18 billion in property taxes to include not just primary residences, but resort property, commercial property, and rental property as well. The legislature hasn’t been able find a way to give school teachers a raise. And they can’t find any way to pass the largesse on to tenants in Texas. But who gives a shit anyway? This bill is about feeding the pigs. A naked looting of the Texas Treasury.

Iowa Republicans are trying to dilute child labor laws, so children can worker longer hours on school nights. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is facing down twenty charges of graft and bribery. Paxton has an interesting legal defense. Under Texas Law, you may not be removed from office for crimes you may have committed before your election. Paxton claims that includes crimes you may have committed before you were reelected to the same office. Cute huh? Every reelection shakes the etch-a- sketch clean. Catch me if you can suckers!

Former Ohio Speaker of the house, Republican Larry Householder was recently sentenced to twenty years in prison for taking $61 million in bribes. Go big or go home! The nuclear industry was looking for a billion-dollar bailout and thought that buying the Ohio Republican Speaker of the house was the best path to get their bailout.

George Santos fought vociferously to hide the names of the person or persons who put up George’s half-million-dollar bail bond. Santos has been charged with fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements. Santos is the poster child for Republican corruption. Not a peep from the Republicans calling for George to step down. Stone silence!

The court finally ruled and released the names of George’s benefactors. It was his mommy and daddy. But the question still remains, where did Mommy and daddy get the money? George says his father’s occupation is a house painter, and he must be pretty damn good at it.

The Kentucky Republican James Comer told MSNBC they would soon be eating their words once their secret whistle blower testified. The testimony Comer was looking for was information about Biden family corruption begun during the Trump Administration by Rudy (Four Seasons) Giuliani. That’s the genesis of everything in this investigation. Rudy is facing disbarment for his “Frivolous” and “Destructive” actions to subvert democracy.

Now the Republican secret whistle blower hasn’t just disappeared, he’s jumped bail. Making false statements, arms dealing and acting as an unregistered agent for the People’s Republic of China. Do you know why people don’t register as a foreign agent, when it’s only a simple one-page form to fill out. They don’t want anyone to know they’re acting as agent for a foreign country. That’s another name for espionage. That’s exactly what Donald Trump pardoned Mike Flynn for doing.

Trump tried to subvert the 2020 Presidential election. He incited his followers to come to Washington to foment insurrection. Trump pressured Mike Pence to commit a crime. Rudy Giuliani tried to help him do it. Chris Christi says, Trump took the documents home so he could pretend he was still the President. Trump was indicted for that. After losing his defamation case to E. Jean Carroll, Trump runs his mouth some more. Inviting further monetary damages. Because Trump doesn’t give a shit about the law. That’s why he’s a Republican.

After twenty-year crusade against Hillary Clinton returned bupkis. The Republicans go after Joe and Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was convicted of tax evasion and possessing and illegal gun. Not a day goes by in this country without a mass shooting somewhere by someone with an illegal gun, but the only illegal gun Republicans are concerned about is Hunter Biden’s illegal gun.

In my favorite unillustrated comic book, it says the following, “ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” – Jehoshaphat 69

“How many times do you have to get hit over the head until you figure out who’s hitting you.”

― Harry S. Truman
