Marjorie Taylor Greene

National Divorce

Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a “national divorce.” No, she’s not talking about her current divorce proceedings from her husband. She’s talking about the United States having a divorce, red states from blue states.

Like most ideas and statements from MTG and her fellow goons, such as Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Jim “Gym” Jordans, Louis Gohmert, and others, it’s a stupid idea. Naturally, she hasn’t explained how it will work which leads many to believe she’s just trolling, like when she tweeted earlier this week that “America hates Joe Biden.” Really? I haven’t seen that poll.

Explaining her plan for a national divorce, she tweeted, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”

She’s giving up on democracy and wants to live and serve in a nation where everyone agrees with her. Of course, the people who agree with her are treasonous Putin-loving fascist white nationalists. And you might think she has a point and we should break up because you can’t simply agree to disagree with racists.

It’s like MTG’s challenges to Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and wondering why AOC won’t accept. It’s because you can’t talk to people like MTG. There is not a reasonable conversation to be had with Marjorie Taylor Greene. If you don’t believe me, just scroll through one of her two Twitter accounts.

This is a really odd proposal to tear apart the homeland from someone who shits in, I mean, sits on the Homeland Security Committee. It’s also odd coming from someone whose district is in a state that voted for President Joe Biden, Senator Jon Ossoff, and Senator Raphael Warnock. So how would this work? Do we chop off districts that vote for racist morons like MTG and give that to Red America while the educated enlightened, and dare if I say it, woke part of the state goes to Blue America?

Did you know that the majority of people who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 live in states Joe Biden won? No, the states weren’t stolen by Biden. It’s because more people live in blue states than in red states. Every state has blue and red areas. If there’s a city in a red state, it most likely votes blue.

The cities in Florida are blue. Birmingham, Alabama is blue. Jackson, Mississippi is blue. Dallas and Houston are blue. Charlotte, North Carolina is blue. Columbia, South Carolina is blue. Little Rock, Arkansas is blue. Juneau, Alaska is blue. Boise, Idaho is blue. You get the drift.

MTG says one reason to do this is to shrink the federal government. She’s a sitting member of Congress and is too stupid to know that red states are actually funded by blue states. Yup, blue states kick in more money into the federal government than red states contribute. In fact, the majority of welfare states are…wait for it…red states.

Also, Republicans spend more and increase the size of our debt and the federal government than Democrats do. Fact, fact, fuckity fact, fact. MTG needs a remedial course in government. Maybe this is the only answer Republicans have to the fact that their presidential candidates can’t win the popular vote.

MTG says, “Everyone I talk to says this,” about the nation splitting up. But who does she talk to, fellow troll Lauren Boebert? Who, by the way, also represents a red district (she barely won last year) in a blue state.

The fact is, Marjorie Taylor Green is a moron. She’s an idiot. She’s a simpleton. She is not intellectually qualified to be a member of Congress, less enough, for a seat on the Homeland Security Committee. She’s not just unqualified because she’s a moron, but also because she truly hates this country. People who hate this nation and wish to destroy our democracy shouldn’t be elected to Congress…or to the presidency.

But if she wants to divorce America, I say let her go. Let Putin have her since she loves him and his fascism so much. But no returns.

Buh-bye, Felicia.

Crazy or Crazy

Did you really think I was going to let the GOP response to President Biden’s State of the Union address slip past me? It may be a few days late, but here it is.

The Republican Party is so out of touch that it doesn’t realize it’s out of touch. As for myself, I know sometimes I’m out of touch. I attended the wedding of my niece Lyndsay last week and every time I opened my mouth, I could hear those new home buyers turning into their parents from those insurance commercials. Is the groom nervous? I couldn’t tell because he was running away too fast. HAHAHAHA no?

Republicans should have made huge gains in last year’s midterm elections but nominated wackjobs like Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, and Kari Lake. Before the elections, they celebrated the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v Wade and pushed red states to ban abortions. Another major message from the party was hate as they used refugees as political pawns to “own the libs.” After gaining the House with a slight majority, Speaker Kevin McCarthy caved in to the goons like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and put them on some of the most important committees in Congress.

When placed in the same room with President Biden last week, Biden came off as the reasoned, rational, and mature one while the GOP came out like howler monkeys that ate a lot of paste while growing up under electrical wires.

Republicans gave us another huge example of how out of touch they are with their choice to give their response to President Biden’s State of the Union address. Claiming they were trying to appeal to American youth, they chose Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I know I make a lot of jokes here but that’s not one of them. They chose Sarah Huckabee Sanders to appeal to the youth vote. Seriously. You can Google this.

Appealing to the nation’s youth, Huckasans is not a great choice…unless you’re going for young hillbillies. But if they were looking for experience in lying, one of the former White House spokesgoons from the Trump administration isn’t a bad choice. Personally, I think they should have had Sean Spicer deliver it while wearing his puffy pirate shirt from his Dancing with the Star appearance.

Huckasans went from being a spokesperson to governor which would be a huge step up if the state weren’t Arkansas. The biggest feature of Sarah Huckabee Sanders is that she’s a liar and a defender of the worst behavior.

When Trump caged immigrant children, she said it was “very biblical.”

When Trump retweeted Islamophobic videos chock full of lies, she said it didn’t matter if the videos were “real” and told reporters that if they were focusing “on the nature of the video, you’re focusing on the wrong thing.”

How out of touch is Huckasans? Weeks after the Uvalde shooting that killed 19 children, she said, “We will make sure that when a kid is in the womb, they’re as safe as they are in a classroom.” There were 51 school shootings in 2022 that resulted in injuries or death.

After Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, she told the press that “countless” FBI agents told her they were happy with the firing. She later testified under oath that she made that up. She lied. She later claimed her lie, some bullshit she totally invented, was a mere “slip of the tongue.” She even lied about what a “slip of the tongue” is. A “slip of the tongue” is a mistake in speech, like saying the wrong name during sex. Slips of the tongue usually reveal more truths than lies.

She committed illegal ethical code violations by using her government Twitter account to slam a restaurant that refused to serve her and to attack The New York Times for running an anonymous Op-Ed from an insider within the Trump administration (sic).

She posted a video from InfoWars of CNN’s Jim Acosta that was doctored to make him seem physically aggressive toward a White House intern and used it to defend the Trump administration taking away Acosta’s White House press credentials. They couldn’t admit the real reason they took away his press credentials was that he asked tough questions.

She claims she’s a Christian and “God wanted Trump to be president.” God did send several plagues on us so that could be true. Why couldn’t we get frogs?

She claimed that Trump’s unfinished border wall had stopped nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018 when it only stopped six people who were on the no-fly list. Lots of people get placed on the no-fly list. You can get placed on it for trying to transport potato salad with raisins. OK, that might be terrorism.

She claimed the Mueller Report was “a total and complete exoneration” of Donald Trump even though it states inside the report that it “does NOT exonerate” him.

She played the victim when that restaurant denied her service because they don’t want to serve lying right-wing goosestepping goons who are destroying the nation. She also played it in another incident, After a reporter used the term “lopping of heads” while saying there should be a staff shakeup on the White House communication team, she cried, “They’ve said I should be choked, they said I should deserve a lifetime of harassment, but certainly never had somebody say that I should be decapitated.”

She’s out of touch from her own party. While a candidate for governor, she said she would outlaw all abortions in the state and wouldn’t allow any exceptions for rape or incest. A majority of Republicans disagree with this.

One of her first acts as governor was to ban the word “Latinx” from all state documents claiming it constitutes “ethnically insensitive and pejorative language.”

During her response to the State of the Union Tuesday night, she said, “Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight. Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols, all while big government colludes with Big Tech to strip away the most American thing there is—your freedom of speech. That’s not normal. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong. She later added that the “dividing line in America is no longer between right and left, it’s between normal or crazy.”

So the party that gives us Huckasans, Lauren dumbest-person-in-Congress Boebert, Jim Gym Jordan, pathological liar George Santos, Ms. Frazzledrip Gazpacho Police Jewish Space Lasers Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Giggity Gaetz is the normal choice?

Even some Republicans thought Huckasans was a lousy choice. White nationalist Steve Bannon, while talking to asshat Lou Dobbs, blasted her saying she’s not “intellectually capable of going to the heart of the matter.”

Bannon and Lou Dobbs were mostly upset she didn’t mention Donald Trump once in her speech. But an editorial in the Arkansas Times criticized her for “snarling about wokeness and the radical left.” Austin Bailey wrote, “It got pretty dark and weird” and described it as a “word salad of talking points and name-calling, with some attempts at folksy relatability thrown in.” He wrote, “Sanders’ rebuttal to Biden’s State of the Union address was light on policy, heavy on menace.”

Conservative commentator Amanda Carpenter contrasted Biden’s speech, saying focused on “the economy and concrete issues,” with Sanders’ speech, describing it as a “deep plunge into dystopian culture wars.”

Carpenter wrote for Bulwark, “These annual canned rebuttals usually come off as tone-deaf. but with Sanders, there was an additional, unexpected contrast with Biden. She spoke for a dreary 15 minutes — all scripted according to teleprompter, with no audience. Biden spoke for more than an hour, with a teleprompter in front of plenty of hostile Republicans. Biden, 80 years young, rolled with it, tackling every tough subject on his agenda, inviting Republicans to join him at every turn. Sanders, 40 years old, droned on, her entire speech devoted to demonizing Biden.”

Former GOP strategist Steve Schmidt said Sanders was “abusing” viewers with “MAGA lies.” Schmidt said, “It was stale. It was old. It was an ugly speech from a lying governor who is unfit for any type of public service.” I disagree and believe Sanders would do an amazing job at picking up dog poo in public parks.

Sanders did this culture war thing for the Republican response to the State of the Union thinking it would work nationally because it worked in Arkansas. But what’s the Republican Party’s reasoning for choosing her? Granted, their choices of rational people in their party are limited, but couldn’t they have found at least one person in the GOP who’s not a raving barking lying lunatic? One. We only need one for one night. No? No.

With these kinds of decisions from the GOP, I half expect George Santos to give the rebuttal next year.

SOTU Heckler

This year’s State of the Union speech to Congress was interesting, to say the least. In fact, it may have even been exciting. What?

I wasn’t looking forward to watching and considered skipping it and catching the highlights later. In fact, since my TV is on news 90% of the time, I just had it on mute when the speech started. I had already heard all the warmups and I was expecting a slow an methodical speech by the president. President Joe Biden is not the best speaker in politics and I really wasn’t expecting much. I wasn’t expecting Joe Biden to bring it.

He brought it.

Not only did he bring it, but he played rope-a-dope with the GOP and negotiated them into agreeing that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are “off the table.”

President Biden stated that there were some who wanted those cuts, which is true. But Republicans booed and called him a liar. So, Biden said “we agree” and those cuts are “off the table.” Damn! He got them. He got them good.

Rick Scott, the Republican senator who’s led the charge to make those cuts, released an ad this morning calling for Biden to resign. Why? Because he shut you down? If anything from last night’s speech, Biden should definitely run again.

Republicans want cuts but they don’t know what to cut, especially after last night. What President Biden did last night was protect Social Security and Medicare for every American. Republicans hate that.

Sitting behind President Biden was, of course, Vice President Kamala Harris and the weakest Speaker in the history of the House, Kevin McCarthy, who seemed to keep sinking in his chair.

Before the speech, McCarthy told his caucus to behave. They didn’t. Weakest Speaker ever.

Marjorie Taylor Green, who McCarthy has elevated in the House, heckled the president, which is what she did last year with Lauren HaveYouSeenMyHusband’sDick Bocbert. MTG heckled, screaming “liar” and booed while wearing some white varmint around her shoulders that I’m sure she shot herself while it was on a rack in a Sears. You gotta be tricky to sneak up on those things. Earlier, she was seen walking around holding a balloon, as if her looking like an idiot was owning the libs or something.

It was a shocking big deal when Representative Joe Wilson shouted “you lie” at President Obama during one of his State of the Union speeches. The House floor is supposed to be sacred and the office of the presidency is to be respected, even if you don’t like the guy in it. Wilson apologized the next day. Now, after birtherism, four years of Trump, an insurrection, Matt Gaetz showing pics of his naked girlfriends on the House floor, and two years of antics by Lauren IfYouHaven’tSeenMyHusband’sDickYetIt’sProbablyOnlyBecauseYou’reNotHangingOutWithTeenageGirlInColoradoBowlingAlleys Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Frazzledrip Queen Greene, Republicans making asses out of themselves during a State of the Union speech isn’t as big of a deal as it used to be.

Before the speech, Lying congressman George Santos arrived early so he could be in position to shake hands with the important people as they walked down the aisle…and possibly pick their pockets. Along came Senator Mitt Romney who told Santos, “You don’t belong here.” You could see Santos mouthing off to Romney after that as the distinguished senator walked away. Later, Santos tweeted at Mitt, “You will never be president.” To that, I say to Santos, you will never be a two-term congressman.

What we saw last night was a president with plans to move this nation forward, to help Americans, to help build this nation, and to leave a better nation for those who will follow us. All we saw from Republicans was heckling, which they do year-round. Republicans don’t know to legislate or negotiate. Add the weakest Speaker in American history, and the GOP is kinda screwed because President Biden does know how to govern. He also knows how to rope a dope.

And last night, President Biden roped the entire Republican Party. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Creative note: I had two other ideas I couldn’t choose between, so I showed them to my two proofers. One of them told me they were both “meh.” That meant they were OK but not great. She said they were “not funny.” So, I decided to trash them. You’ll see them later in a blog of roughs. So that led me to come up with this cartoon within minutes. And I laughed. When I make myself laugh, it can mean the cartoon is great or it can mean the cartoon is very moronic and I’m laughing because I’m a Beavis.

Goon Committee

Kevin McCarthy is abusing his power as Speaker of the House. Of course, the only way he could secure enough votes from the extremists in his party was to make deals to abuse his power.

The Speaker of the House has the power to remove members from select committees and he’s done that with Democratic Party House members Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell who he has now formally removed from the Intelligence Committee. He doesn’t have the authority to remove members from regular committees which is what he’s attempting to do with Ilhan Omar.

The only reason he has to do this is vengeance, political retribution, and to keep promises to the goon caucus in his party. This is revenge for the removal of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from committees when the Democrats had the majority.

Greene and Gosar both expressed support for violence against their House colleagues. Their removal was bipartisan with several Republicans voting with the Democrats. Greene and Gosar have also spoken at white supremacist parties.

It will take a full vote of the House to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, which McCarthy is planning. His reason is that she’s expressed antisemitic sentiments in the past, for which she’s apologized. Never mind all the Islamophobic comments from Marjorie Taylor Greene and her support for terrorism who he has put on the Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Homeland Security Committee. He’s also put fellow Qanon conspiracy theorist and Islamophobic Lauren Boebert and white nationalist Paul Gosar on the Oversight and Accountability Committee. McCarthy doesn’t really have an issue with antisemitism since he groveled for the support of one, Donald Trump, who dines with white nationalists and antisemites at Mar-a-Lago (right where he keeps his stolen classified documents).

Republicans have argued that Schiff used his position on the Intelligence Committee to lie about the connections between the campaign of Donald Trump and the Russian government despite an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller that found no such coordination. But did he lie? The Trump Campaign did share polling information with the Russians. The Russians didn’t start attacking the servers of the Democratic Party until the day Trump publicly asked them to. Donald Trump read information gained from Russian hackers at his hate rallies. There’s also the fact that the Trump Campaign invited Russians into their headquarters at Trump Tower on 5th Avenue to dish dirt on Hillary Clinton. Matt Gaetz has even issued a resolution that would ban Schiff from having access to any classified information.

That’s fucking rich. That goon who defends Trump’s stealing of classified information which he kept at his country club, and who asked Trump for a pardon for his involvement in an insurrection, wants to ban someone’s access to classified information.

McCarthy booted Swalwell because of connections with a Chinese spy although an FBI investigation found no wrongdoing on his part.

Let me get this straight. They’re kicking Schiff off the House Intelligence Committee for making claims that Trump colluded with Russia, arguing that the Mueller investigation couldn’t find any evidence of collusion. But, they’re also kicking Swalwell off the same committee claiming he colluded with a Chinese Spy despite another DOJ investigation being unable to find any evidence of…wait for it…collusion. McCarthy and the Republicans’ arguments to remove Schiff is destroyed by their own arguments to remove Swalwell.

And if you want to remove Schiff for saying something that’s not true, then shouldn’t every Republican who voted against certifying the election be kicked off their committees? Why are goons like Greene, Boebert, Gosar, Gaetz, and Jim (Gym) Jordan on committees after lying about the election and their involvement in the insurrection? They all helped the Trump campaign lie about the election, helped him try to steal the election, and supported an insurrection. But I guess saying Trump colluded with Russia (which he did) is worse.

And speaking of liars, how do you have a problem with Schiff, Swalwell, and Omar being on committees while you’re putting pathological liar George Santos on two committees?

Kevin McCarthy argues that Santos’ constituents voted for him, although they didn’t know who they were voting for. But didn’t Schiff’s, Swalwell’s, and Omar’s constituents vote for them too?

Kevin McCarthy is the worst Speaker of the House in the history of houses. This guy shouldn’t be speaker of a doghouse. He sucks. He’s weak, he’s a coward, and he’s doing the bidding of the goons, not his constituents, and not for what’s best for the nation. These moves, kicking Democrats off committees while appointing racist terrorist-supporting goons, prove that nothing coming out of Kevin McCarthy’s mouth can be taken seriously. He’s a joke who has lost all credibility. The reasonings he’s using to remove these Democrats from committee assignments are not on par with the reasons for removing Greene and Gosar.

In two years, we get to kick Kevin McCarthy out of the Speaker’s office.

Homeland Terror

Let’s make one thing clear. What happened on January 6, 2021, was a terrorist attack against our country.

It was an insurrection by white nationalists to overturn a free democratic election and install an unelected dictator. It was a coup attempt.

It was an attack designed to stop the certification of the election, a duty mandated on Congress by the United States Constitution.

The people who did this are terrorists. Ashli Babbitt, who was killed during the attack, was a terrorist.

This was an attack on the United States of America. It was not a protest. It wasn’t just a bunch of tourists. It was a terrorist attack that was instigated by conspiracy theories and the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and it was stolen from him by Joe Biden, Democrats, and a Deep State. One of the biggest advocates for this lie and assault on our nation is Marjorie Taylor Green, a representative from Georgia.

Why would the Speaker of the House put someone on a committee designed to protect our nation from terrorist attacks who’s expressed support for terrorist attacks? Marjorie Taylor Greene said, very recently, that if she had planned the attack on January 6, 2021, then “we would have won” “We?” “We,” as “we the terrorist?” “We,” as in “we who attacked our country?” “We,” as in “we, who attempted to destroy our democratic system and replace it with a fascist state?” “We,” as in “We, the white nationalist racist goons?” That “we?” I bet MTG thinks that if she planned 9/11, then more hijacked planes would have flown into buildings killing more Americans.

Even without examining MTG’s treason, she’s too stupid to be on the Homeland Security Committee or any other committee. This is the same idiot who believes wildfires in California were started by Jewish Space Lasers. But Kevin McCarthy isn’t looking to put talented or capable people on committees who are effective at legislation. Liar George Santos was placed on two committees, one of which is the small Businesses which I guess he’s qualified for from working with Ponzi schemes and running a GoFundMe scam to steal money from a dying dog.

Jim “Gym” Jordan is actually the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and he displays on a daily basis how dishonest he is. If you don’t know why the FBI hasn’t raided Joe Biden’s home yet, you’re either lying or you’re an idiot. Plus, Jordan doesn’t create legislation that gets passed. Last year, a study by the Center for Effective Lawmaking (a joint effort by the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University) ranked Jim “Gym” Jordan as the 202nd most effective Republican in the House of Representatives…out of 205. As a person elected to represent a congressional district, he sucks. To be fair, he sucks just as a person. He’s a horrible and vile human being. A lot of the human excrement left on the floors of Congress on January 6 by the MAGA terrorists was mistaken for Jim “Gym” Jordan. He doesn’t do anything in Congress except gaslight and bark. In the last congressional session, he sponsored zero legislation that passed the House. This makes him ineffective. All Jordan does in Congress is deflect for Donald Trump and conduct bullshit investigations to hurt Democrats politically.

And just like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim “Gym” Jordan played a part in the January 6 coup attempt. This goon who ignored subpoenas from a congressional investigation will now lead an investigation. This is like putting Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Donald Trump in charge of sexual assault investigations.

In the last session, MTG was stripped of all her committee assignments for racist and antisemitic rhetoric, for spreading conspiracy theories on the 2020 election, 9/11, and the 2018 Parkland shooting, and for supporting violence against Democrats. MTG expressed support for executing Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. During her first congressional campaign, she posted an image on Facebook of herself holding a gun next to images of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib with the caption, “We need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart.”

In 2019, she encouraged her fans to “flood the Capitol” and resort to violence.

When it comes to protecting the homeland, she has fear-mongered that Muslims are coming to “conquer America.” She’s posted on Facebook, “We don’t need gun control! We need Muslim control!

MTG has jumped on the conspiracy theory bandwagon that George Soros, a millionaire who donates to Democrats, is a Nazi and said he’s “a piece of crap that turned in his own people over to the Nazis.” Soros is actually a Holocaust survivor.

Putting assorted goons and terrorist supporters on committees is part of the deal Kevin McCarthy made to become Speaker of the House, which took 15 ballots. Kevin McCarthy doesn’t care about this nation or Congress. He only cares about power and he’ll hand the House of Representatives over to goons and terrorists in order to get it.

You can’t faux that you care about President Biden misplacing classified documents and the security of this nation when you put a terrorist-loving lying racist antisemitic Islamophobic conspiracy theorist on the Homeland Security Committee.

Laptop Strikes Again

Yes, I dropped this joke in a blog two days ago, and I liked it. I was worried another cartoonist would steal it, but I posted it on a Friday and most cartoonists don’t work weekends, especially holiday weekends.

Do not expect the Republican-controlled House to accomplish much, if anything, for the next two years. You can’t take a party seriously when they give the chair of a committee to a lying asswipe goon like Jim Jordan whose face is still embedded between the orange buttcheeks of Donald Trump. This is a guy who helped Donald Trump commit sedition and a coup attempt and got caught lying his treasonous balls off about it, and now he’s the one who’s going to try to get to the bottom of a supposed crime? As Sarah Marshall said in the excellent movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.”

You also can’t take these people seriously when goons like high-school dropout Lauren Boebert, prom-dating Matt Gaetz, and white nationalist terrorist enthusiast Marjorie Taylor Greene are among its members who the party circles the wagons around to protect.

And, you can’t take them seriously when they don’t do anything about incoming freshman liar George Santos. Remember, the Democrats forced out Al Franken for a decades-old joke.

Republicans are not good at multitasking. They can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The likes of each of those mentioned above have made it clear that they intend to spend the next two years using their majority to lie, gaslight, and smear their political enemies over a conspiracy theory.

Seriously, the only person who’s going to accomplish anything with a GOP majority for the next two years is, well…me.

Happy new year.

MTG Attack

Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted she’s on the same side as domestic terrorists.

Over the weekend at a goose-stepping function of some sort, MTG was a featured guest along with Steve Bannon, who’ll be going to jail soon, and she said, “I want to tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

She was talking about the white nationalist terrorist attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, that was designed to stop the certification of the Electoral College (mandated by the Constitution) and Joe Biden’s election victory, and install Donald Trump as an unelected Oompa-Loompa shitweasel dictator. This was an insurrection and members of the Oath Keepers have already been found guilty of sedition.

The attack on the Capitol was not patriotic, “legitimate political discourse,” or just a bunch of non-housebroken Trump-supporting tourists sight-seeing through Congress.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said “we” would have won. She claims it was just a joke, but she still said “we,” stating she’s not just sympathetic with the terrorists, but one of them.

And when she says “if” Steve Bannon had organized it, she’s overlooking the fact that Steve Bannon did in fact help organize it. It was also partly organized by Donald Trump which adds another failure to his long list of failures.

MTG is also forgetting that the terrorists, her people, were armed on January 6. But she’s saying that if she had planned it, then more people would have died.

This is what passes for Republican humor now. They tried to overthrow the country, people died, and they’re laughing about it. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a vile reprehensible human being, and she’s just one of them.

This would be like saying, “If I planned 9/11, more buildings would have been destroyed,” or “If I was a Confederate leader, then slavery would still be legal in the south,” or “If I had been in the Third Reich, we’d all be goosestepping and speaking German right now. Farfegnugen, bitches!”

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t just with the terrorists, she is a terrorist. She said “we.” And now we have a terrorist in Congress. We need to get her the farfegnugen out of there.

Music note: I listened to REM, Live, and Local H.

Freaks Come Out In 2023

Not only will Republicans hold up President Biden’s agenda if they retake the House, but they’ll work to defund Social Security and Medicare, hold the government hostage by shutting down the government during the next debt-ceiling deadline, and work to give Donald Trump more tax cuts. Additionally, they’re going to conduct a bunch of bullshit investigations that they’re going to have to make a lot of shit up for. The entire GOP agenda is about inflicting revenge on the Democrats for trying to protect the nation from a corrupt “president” and his white nationalist terrorist goons.

So what kind of shit will Republicans investigate?

They’re going to investigate Hunter Biden and his laptop. If the GOP retakes the House, James Comer will likely be the chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and he’s promising to investigate the Bidens’ overseas business activities. Comer wants to get a hold of financial records from banks and the Treasury Department to prove that the president is compromised by his son’s business dealings, even though there is zero proof of any corruption from President Biden.

Comer said, “I think that’ll go a long way towards helping us be able to uncover some questions that the American people have about the ethics, and whether or not the Biden administration is truly compromised by Hunter’s shady business dealings.” What is corrupt is helping Donald Trump hide his business records and taxes all while he was bilking the U.S. government during his “presidency” while still making money from foreign governments, but I’m sure none of that compromised him. There’s also no interest from Republicans to find out why Saudi Arabia felt the need to give Jared Kushner $2 billion as soon as he left the White House.

Jim Jordan will likely chair the House Judiciary Committee and he plans to go after the Justice Department and FBI for raiding Mar-a-Lago. Jordan said, “The No. 1 thing is this weaponization of the DOJ against the American people.” Yeah, Donald Trump, a billionaire who shits in gold toilets, is NOT the American people. But how dare the FBI go after a billionaire for stealing classified documents. Maybe Jordan can conduct an investigation into why Trump wanted these documents in the basement of his country club, and why he lied about them for over a year. Jim Jordan also chaired some of the many Benghazi investigations which implicated nobody.

Jordan claims his office has received information from more than a dozen whistleblowers who came forward with allegations of FBI bias against conservatives, including the agency retaliating against employees with conservative views. Don’t hold your breath. You can expect this investigation to go after Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Jim Jordan shouldn’t be investigating anything when he’s the one who should be investigated over a myriad of issues. This guy can’t even come clean about how many times and when he talked to Trump on January 6.

Democrats created a select Oversight subcommittee investigating the coronavirus, and Republicans plan to keep the committee active…and use it to go after Dr. Anthony Fauci while accusing him of creating the virus. Seriously.

Republicans plan to use the House Foreign Affairs Committee to investigate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan but probably won’t talk a lot about the fact it was Donald Trump who set the date on which he negotiated with the Taliban.

There are plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for the border situation. Steve Scalise, who’ll be second in charge of the House if Republicans take over said Mayorkas will be given a “reserved parking spot” because “he will be testifying so much about this.”

Last Wednesday on Steve Bannon’s podcast, Marjorie Taylor Greene (who currently doesn’t sit on any committees because she expressed a desire to murder Nancy Pelosi) said Republicans will investigate companies that halted donations to the GOP after January 6, 2021, white nationalist terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol building. She said, “That’s not going to be forgotten by a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues.” This is fascist. Maybe if those corporations start giving money to Republicans again, then they won’t be investigated. MTG exhibits why it was such a good idea to remove her from her committee assignments. But I really do hope MTG’s future committee assignments don’t distract from her trolling and stalking people like Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and school shooting survivors.

Matt Gaetz, also talking to Steve Bannon (goons keep other goons on speed dial), said their number one priority should be to “engage in impeachment inquiries to get the documents and the testimony and the information we need.” Gaetz said “voters will feel betrayed” if they don’t go after President Biden in revenge for the two impeachments of Donald Trump. Gaetz told Bannon that impeaching Biden should take precedence over “policy and bill making” and expressed frustration with Republicans who might actually want to work with Democrats on legislation.

Gaetz said, “We are in a battle and we have to open up every vector of attack on a corrupt administration that is punishing the American people out of these virtue signals to wokeism.” What was missing was context, like what crimes and misdemeanors did President Biden commit to justify impeachment.

Just imagine the millions of taxpayer dollars Republicans are going to waste on these fake investigations.

The only possible good thing to come out of two years of Republicans controlling the House and Senate again is that it’ll remind American voters with short memories why they should never vote for Republicans.

I Am Draw Cartoon

Did you watch the debate between Pennsylvania Senate candidates Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Crudites Oz? Did you at least watch the highlights? If so, did you mute or turn away out of the sheer awkwardness of it all? I watched the highlights and I wanted to turn away. It was painful and uncomfortable for me.

Let’s face facts, my liberal friends. Fetterman didn’t come off well. Not only did he not sound well but he didn’t look good. Who’s responsible for putting Fetterman into a suit that made him look like Uncle Fester? I know he’s not a suit guy but the Democratic campaign could have done a lot better than picking something off the rack at Burlington Coat Factory. At the very least, they should have Men’s Wearhoused that shit.

Fetterman suffered from a stroke and had to do a live debate against a guy who has 20 years experience of selling snake oil on TV. The odds are tough enough for Fetterman.

The debate marked the first time voters were able to watch Fetterman unscripted on live television since his stroke in May, which was just days before the state’s primary. Fetterman relied on closed captioning during the debate so he could follow the conversation as he continues to recover from auditory and speech difficulties. Yes, Fetterman had a stroke which makes him suffer from these issues. What’s Donald Trump’s excuse. Oh my god. Did Donald Trump have a stroke and his administration hid it? He did have that secret trip to the hospital.

Fetterman had trouble communicating during the debate. He failed to complete sentences, stumbled over words, and there were long awkward pauses. All this may have distracted viewers from noticing the lying piece of crap that is Mehmet Oz, who mostly lives in a New Jersey mansion, bought a farm in Pennsylvania for the race, and is currently staying with his inlaws in PA.

Since Dr. Oz can’t seem to keep up with how many homes he owns when it was time to list them on financial disclosure forms, or he’s just flat-out lying, let me offer an assist. He owns the Pennsylvania farm, a mansion in New Jersey, a condo in New Jersey, two condos in Manhattan (one of which his sister is suing him over for stiffing her on rental income), a cattle ranch in Florida where he claims he hunts despite not having a hunting license (does he shoot his cows?), a mansion in Palm Beach, and three properties in Turkey, of which he’s still a citizen and says he’ll renounce if he wins. Oh, don’t do us any favors, Dr. Crudite. Additionally, his wife “technically” owns a mansion in Maine and a hotel in Ireland.

Several analysts said the debate proves Fetterman isn’t prepared to be a Senator and should instead focus on his health. They may be right, but voters should vote for him anyway. He’s improving and he’s better than Oz. A bag of flaming poo is better than Oz, who will vote to ban abortion nationwide. Sending Dr. Crudite to the Senate may give Republicans that 51st vote to ban abortion. And I assure you of this: If the GOP gains control of the Senate, they will do away with the filibuster to ban abortion.

During the debate, Oz sang and danced around answering direct questions about banning abortion, although it’s something he’s vowed in the past.

Republicans of course rejoiced at Fetterman’s performance because they’re evil twisted psychopathic fucks. They celebrated when Fetterman had his stroke. And to be honest, his campaign didn’t help matters by trying to bury the fact he had a stroke.

I’m mad at the Fetterman campaign. My problems extend beyond the crappy $35 suit they put the candidate in. They never should have put him on the debate stage. Normally, I want every race to have a debate, but this one served to give the wrong impression. If you read the transcripts and the points he made, Fetterman did OK. If you watch the debate, he did horribly.

Sure, the campaign would have been attacked for refusing to debate, but they should have weathered that. Again, they put him on stage against a slick con man with decades of TV experience and evil-sculpted eyebrows.

The people who are now attacking Fetterman for his difficulties communicating and expressing his thoughts ignore the cognitively challenged in their own party, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Herschel Walker to Trump. My god, they sent racist Tommy Tuberville to the Senate and he doesn’t know the three branches of government. I’m not making that up.

These Republicans are not going to stop being uninformed stupid racist hacks, but John Fetterman’s cognitive abilities will improve. The fact he was able to perform on that stage last night should be applauded. And he didn’t whip out any props.

And that’s just it for the MAGA crowd. Herschel can whip out a badge and say “I am work with many police officers” and receive high praise while Fetterman struggles because of a stroke, and is accused of not being cognitively there.

The same people attacking Fetterman now want to reinstate the guy who said, “Person, woman, man, camera, TV.”

Qrazy Love

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s husband is leaving her which makes a lot of sense because he’s married to Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to court documents, Perry Greene is filing on the grounds that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Perry is also asking the Floyd County Superior Court to seal the divorce proceedings, “because the parties’ significant privacy interest in sealing the records outweighs the public’s minuscule interest in access to said records.”

With that, I believe we should show the Greenes the same respect they’ve given to others throughout their lives.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a vile disgusting troglodyte pig person.

This is a person who’s attacked non-binary people. She stalked school-shooting survivor David Hogg, following him as he walked down the street, taunting him and calling him a “crisis actor.” She went to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional office and shouted through her mail slot.

She’s an anti-semite who spread conspiracy theories about George Soros being a Nazi and that California wildfires were started by Jewish space lasers controlled by the Rothchilds.

She claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci created the coronavirus in a Wuhan laboratory.

She claims the 2020 election was stolen and also requested that Donald Trump grant her a pardon for her involvement in trying to steal the election.

She claimed that Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib took their congressional oaths on the Quran which invalidates their membership in Congress (it wouldn’t). She claims President Obama is a Muslim.

She’s written dozens of articles for at least two conspiracy websites. She’s also helped push the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

She’s called for violence against congressional colleagues, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She lost all her committee assignments for her violent rhetoric.

She claimed Pelosi’s “Gazpacho” police were spying on Republicans. She believes Bill Gates is growing fake meat in “peach tree” dishes.

She hangs out with Klansmen and white supremacists like Nick Fuentes and Chester Doles.

After her company received $182,300 from the Paycheck Protection Program, she donated $450,000 to her congressional campaign.

She claimed the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was committed by Antifa members dressed as Trump supporters.

She was one of 21 House Republicans who voted against a resolution to award the Congressional Gold Medal to police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

She claims the contraceptive Plan B “kills a baby in the womb” when it actually prevents ovulation and thus prevents pregnancy.

She claimed vaccine passports would be President Biden’s “mark of the beast.”

She claimed Speaker Pelosi’s requirement that House members continue wearing masks until they all prove they have been vaccinated “is exactly the (same) type of abuse” as Jews being “put in trains and taken to gas chambers” in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Three weeks after apologizing for the Holocaust comment, she compared Biden’s suggestion to provide door-to-door vaccinations to “medical brownshirts” and said, “You can’t force people to be part of the human experiment.”

She sent a letter to President Biden demanding that he investigate Dr. Fauci and to provide her with a response by June 31 when there are only 30 days in June. Dr. Fauci probably killed June 31.

She claimed Covid wasn’t dangerous for people who aren’t fatties or over 65.

She claimed Donald Trump would be reinstated by August 2021…or at least by June 31.

She opposes foreign aid and said our U.S. money shouldn’t be going to China, Russia, the middle east, or Guam (which is part of the USA).

On Steve Bannon’s radio show, she said if she had the authority to, she would kick out every Chinese person in the United States who is loyal to the Chinese Communist Party.

She claimed the shooting at Highland Park on July 4 was “designed to make Republicans go along with more gun control” because the shooting occurred “in a rich, white neighborhood”. She also said, “We didn’t see that at all the Pride parades in the month of June” and that “As soon as we hit MAGA month … we have shootings on July Fourth”. July is MAGA month?

She co-sponsored a bill to ban U.S. embassies from flying Pride flags.

She put a poster outside her office that said “There are TWO genders: Male & Female. Trust The Science!” which was to taunt her colleague across the hall who has a transgender daughter.

She claimed straight people would go extinct within less than two centuries due to LGBT-inclusive educators, calling them “trans terrorists”. She also falsely claimed the shooter at Robb Elementary was transgender.

Ya’ know what? I just looked at the rest of the shit she believes and has claimed and it’s extremely long. I don’t have all day. Anyway, she’s a hateful bigoted Qanon conspiracy theorist who doesn’t deserve for me to spend more time on today. I got other things to do.

My point is about her divorce, boo-fucking-hoo.
