GOP Dumpster Fire: Liars, Racists, DEI Hires and Frauds

There’s an old saying about when someone shows you who they are, believe them; and when someone says something, openly and publicly, believe that, too, and not the spin machine that envelopes the liar afterwards.

Here are a few examples of liars, and morons, and weirdos showing us who they are …


Former U.S. Representative and Liar, Kitara Ravache AKA George Santos, is requesting a partially anonymous jury while federal prosecutors are pushing to admit as evidence some of his past campaign lies in his upcoming fraud trial.

Santos’ lawyers argued that individual jurors’ identities should only be known by the judge, the two sides and their attorneys due to the extraordinary level of media attention around the case and their client because the “risk of public ridicule could influence the individual jurors ability to decide Santos’ case solely on the facts and law as presented in Court.”

At trial  prosecutors want to tell the jury about Kitara's lies: including falsely claiming to have graduated from Baruch College; falsely claiming to have graduated from New York University; falsely claiming to have been employed at Citigroup; falsely claiming to have been employed at Goldman Sachs. They said it would “establish the defendant’s state of mind in connection with the charged crimes.”

Sounds fair to me.


Back to banning books in Iowa after the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district judge’s earlier decision that temporarily halted key parts of a law, which the GOP-led Legislature and GOP Governor Kim Reynolds approved in 2023.

The law also forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with younger students.

Books and LGBTQ+ students are bad but hate and ignorance rule in Iowa.


Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee to run K-12 public education in North Carolina, filmed a video after attending the January 6 riots urging The Felon put “the Constitution to the side” and use the military to stay in power.

In a deleted Facebook livestream Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election. Morrow had previously called for the public execution of Barack Obama and the death of Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in comments on a since-deleted X account.

And she has a shot at running schools in North Carolina?


Red States that ban or restrict abortion have flooded anti-abortion counseling centers with nearly $500 million in taxpayer funding since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

When Florida passed its six-week abortion ban last year, it allocated $25 million to crisis pregnancy centers and Tennessee dedicated $20 million to the effort last year, up from just $283,000 in the year prior. But no state has spent more in taxpayer funding than Texas, which accounts for almost half of the total spending. The state agency that oversees the program acknowledged it doesn’t monitor how tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent.

For those unaware, “crisis pregnancy centers” lure women in with deceptive marketing hinting that they provide abortions.


JD “Guyliner” Vance marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, uninvited and planned to give reporters a show as he confronted the vice president but his power play, his little boy ego trip, failed once he learned Harris was not present.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane.”

He still thinks he has a shot? He’s been fvcking too many couches.


The Felon’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung rushed to defend JD for the unsuccessful storming of Air Force 2 by saying:

“Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what [Kamala Harris] and her team have done on there. The smell alone on that plane must be crazy.”

Cheung’s post appears to lean into racial stereotypes but since he works for a racist, he might be a racist.


Karoline Leavitt, on Fox News Entertainment:

“Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her running mate … and her decision not to choose Josh Shapiro. Let’s be honest, she did not choose him because he is a Jewish American and has expressed strong support for Israel in the past … and Kamala Harris continues to cow-toe to the far-left pro-Hamas sympathizers in this great country.”

Clearly, she’s never heard “kowtow” out loud.

That’s Fox, illiterate blond DEI hires.


JD Vance has attacked the military record of Tim Walz during accusing him of “stolen valor” claiming Walz “abandoned” his unit in the National Guard before it was deployed to Iraq.

Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years reaching the rank of commander sergeant major and was deployed to Italy. He decided to leave the National Guard in 2005 to pursue a political career by running for Congress.

 Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the Marines, where he worked for the press office.

He was a secretary, and he wants to be second in command to a man who avoided service five times because his feet hurt..

More lies about Tim Walz being spread by the right:

LIE: One claim is that Walz told CNN that he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help people scale the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and illegally enter the U.S.

TRUTH: Posts are misrepresenting a comment Walz made on CNN using a clip from the segment to make it seem as if Walz was advocating for illegal immigration when he was actually discussing how to prevent this from happening.

LIE: Walz changed the Minnesota flag so that it resembles the Somali flag.

TRUTH: Minnesota did unfurl a new state flag and accompanying seal in May and picked one designed by Andrew Prekker as the basis for the flag. Prekker said Walz had nothing to do with the creation of the flag, and Somalia had nothing to do with the flag design.

If you can’t win on truth the cultists resort to the lie.


Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has ordered hospitals in the state to ask patients about their immigration status in order to ascertain the costs of providing medical care to people living in the U.S. illegally.

It’s fearmongering that Abbott and the GOP are involved in; they off no solutions to the border issue, just razor wire and hate.


Montana Republican Tim Sheehy, running for US Senate, says he started an aerial firefighting business in his barn and built it into a publicly traded company on the front lines of increasingly dangerous wildfires. But reports filed with the SEC tell a different story about Bridger Aerospace.

Bridger is facing a cash crunch so dire that there is “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue” after it $77.4 million last year and $20.1 million in the first three months of 2024.

If that’s what the GOP calls a successful business …


The Felon has announced that he will debate Kamala Harris three times with the first Debate “on Fox News on September 4th, 2024 [and] the second Debate … Fake News ABC, home of George Slopadopoulos … on September 10th, 2024 [and] the third Debate will take place on NBC … on September 25th, 2024.

As of today there’s no evidence that Fox News, NBC, or the Harris campaign have confirmed The Felon’s claim.


I’m sure y’all have heard of the latest attack on Tim Walz by the right, dubbing him “Tampon Tim” in reference to a new state law providing free menstrual products to school students. 

The nickname was trending nationally on X, with Chaya Raichik whose scurrilous “Libs of TikTok” account was one of the first to amplify it and it was picked up by former Fox News Entertainment host Megyn She’ll  Say Anything If It Gets Her Clicks Kelly endorsed the nickname on X.

Trouble is, shocking, that information is a lie; these free menstrual products are only available for free in unisex bathrooms, girls’ bathrooms, the school nurse or the front office.

When called out for her lies Raichik responded with “there’s no law against lying” but Megyn Kelly, another blond DEI hire, won’t admit she’s a liar.


Asked if Kamala Harris is Black, JD Vance said:

“I believe Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is, but I believe, importantly, that [The Felon] is right that she's a chameleon.”

Doublespeak from the man who says many things and then changes his mind.

And since he can't make up his mind, and since his President is a delusional old man, perhaps it's best that we all ...

Vote Blue. Here's Another Slew of Reasons Why

Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP …

WASHINGTON DC

House Speaker and Good Christian Nationalist Mike Johnson went down to Mar-Illegal this week and came back to tell us that he is proposing a bill to make it illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote and the Cult cheered.

Of course, none of them made note of the fact that it’s already illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote.

You cannot fix stupid … and liars.

COLORADO

Don Wilson, a Republican state representative left a loaded, semiautomatic handgun in a bathroom at the Colorado Capitol on Tuesday night at the same time that Democrats are trying to ban firearm possession in the building and the GOP is fighting them.

And yet the Wilson’s idiotic actions have proven why the Democrats stance in needed when even a so-called legislator can’t keep track of a loaded firearm.

KENTUCKY

Brian Ormes, a Republican candidate for state House of Representatives was arrested and booked for first-degree strangulation, menacing and fourth-degree assault with no visible injury.

According to Fort Wright police, the incident happened on Monday night when a 17-year-old male reported being assaulted by Ormes  inside the Walmart. Police say Ormes admitted to being in an altercation with juveniles because of their unruly behavior in the store, which he said impacted the safety of his child.

So he strangled a kid?

FLORIDA

While family and friends distributed posters of George Riley Jr., a missing Republican Party of Florida executive director, it was discovered that he was holed up in a Hampton Inn, where authorities say he trashed his room.

Riley was kicked out of a room at the Hampton Inn in Kissimmee after a desk clerk observed him “under the influence;” employees of the hotel had talked to Riley in his hotel room and found that he had “urinated and vomited throughout.” The assistant general manager noted that Riley was purchasing alcohol while staying at the hotel, and that he had bought so much booze from the store inside the hotel that the manager had to order more.

The party of Family Values, pissin’ and pukin’ …

ARIZONA

After the Arizona Supreme Court upheld their 1864 abortion law, which calls for 2-5 years in prison for anyone involved in performing an abortion, Kari Lake fired off a statement saying that she disagrees with the decision and hopes that the voters will overturn it in a referendum this November when her Senate race is also on the ballot against Ruben Gallego.

There’s just one big problem for lying, hypocritical fraudster Kari Lake … when she was running for Governor in 2022 she said the exact opposite repeatedly, saying she hoped that the Supreme Court would “do the right thing” and overturn Roe.

Huh, Kari Lake is a liar? Go figure …

IOWA

Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill into law this week making it a crime for an undocumented immigrant to be in Iowa. The law, which takes effect July 1, has elevated anxiety in Iowa’s immigrant communities and mirrors part of a Texas law that is currently blocked in court.

Even local police officers in the state are confused about the bill; Des Moines Police Chief Dana Wingert says immigration status does not factor into the department’s work to keep the community safe and that most police agencies are “not equipped, funded or staffed” to take on federal government responsibilities.

But, hey, the Governor wants Brown people arrested.

LOUISIANA

The Louisiana House Committee on Education advanced House Bill 121 by GOP Representative Raymond Crews that prohibits the use of transgender and nonbinary youth’s chosen names and pronouns in public K-12 schools without parental permission. In addition, House Bill 122 by GOP Representative Dodie Horton would limit discussion of gender and sexuality in public K-12 schools.

The Legislature approved both bills last year, though then-Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, vetoed them, and Republicans were unable to overturn his action. But now Louisiana has a GOP Governor, Jeff Landry, who  filed a card in support of both Crews’ and Horton’s Hate Bills.

GOOD NEWS

MAINE

After a fiery debate over a bill to protect health care workers who provide abortion and gender-affirming care from out-of-state lawsuits crossed a line in the Maine House and lead to lawmakers censuring two Republicans.

GOP Representative Michael Lemelin claimed that the mass shooting that killed 18 people last October in Lewiston, Maine and the recent winter storms were God’s revenge for “immoral” laws adopted by legislators, and he described the shield bill as “inspired by Lucifer himself” another GOP lawmaker, Shelley Rudnicki, announced that she agreed with Lemelin’s remarks.

House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross told Lemelin and Rudnicki that the remarks were “extremely offensive and intentionally harmful to the victims and the families of the Lewiston tragedy, the House of Representatives, and the people of Maine.”

But, hey, God …

KANSAS

Democrat Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill that would ban transgender minors from receiving gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy, setting up another veto override fight over GOP efforts to regulate the lives of trans residents.

Kelly says the bill dictates to parents how to best raise and care for their children, adding that the legislation is not a “conservative value, and it’s certainly not a Kansas value” and “tramples parental rights.”

The measure passed in the Senate 27-13 with a veto-proof majority. The House vote was still two votes short of a veto-proof margin. But if two House Republicans who were absent from the initial floor vote now vote to override, the House would gain the two-thirds majority necessary.

And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... pardoning traitors for political points; gibberish speakers; anti-military criminals; lunatics and Big Liars; Christian Nationalist Nazi sympathizers; party over country fools; unfit for political office; liars and flip-floppers; and Arizona.

So what do we do? We ...

Vote Blue. Here's Another Slew of Reasons Why

Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP …

GOP Senator, and Confederate statue, Mitch McConnell has admitted that Republicans will not help solve the border crisis with President Biden because it would make Biden look good and maybe help him win in November.

It’s not a surprise really, because the GOP rails about the border during election years and then says nothing, and does  nothing, at other times.

It’s not about solving the problem it’s about the GOP hoping to stay in power so maybe this time, maybe, we should vote them all out of office since they don’t want to work for the country that hired them.

Down in Mississippi, the Republicans are trying to make it impossible for the people of the state from voting on abortion rights.

House Concurrent Resolution 11 which, to be fair, is still several legislative steps from becoming law, would give citizens the ability to gather signatures to propose new state laws or change existing laws, but it bans the people of Mississippi from placing an issue on a statewide ballot about abortion.

I know it won’t happen any time soon, but the people of Mississippi need to clean House, and the Senate, in their state.

This week former GOP House chair Liz Cheney accused her successor Elise Stefanik of deleting a press release from 2021 condemning protesters who stormed the Capitol on January 6. In Stefanik’s 2021 press release, she condemned the “violence and destruction” on that day and called for the perpetrators to be prosecuted. And now she’s changed her tune and deleted the press release.

Elise Stefanik is trying to rewrite history because she hopes to be the Pussy Groper’s Veep.

In other Insurrection news, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace was so angry at Hair Furor during the attack on the Capitol that she discussed with aides the prospect of confronting the rioters so she could get punched and become the face of anti-Thing 45 Republicans.

Seriously. Mace also declared to her staff during the riot that she was a “never-Trumper” while she was hiding with staff in her office on that day.

Then she said she supported him, and then she said she didn't.

The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution condemning and censuring GOP Senator James Lankford because he was working with Democrats and President Biden to pass a bipartisan border deal.

The Oklahoma GOP is punishing a man for doing the work for which he was hired because he was working with Democrats while his own party sits on their hands and does nothing but complain.

But that's the GOP way.

Iowa Republican lawmakers have again proposed removing protections against discrimination for transgender people from the Iowa Civil Rights Act and this time a key committee chair, GOP Representative Steven Holt, is open to the conversation.

Think on that … they want to legalize discrimination; sure they’re starting with transgender Americans, but soon it will be the gay Americans, and then any other group that doesn’t fit the GOP straight white male agenda.

Also in Iowa, a new bill in the House of Representatives would make it a legal requirement for public school students and teachers in grades 1-12 to sing the national anthem every day. Physically able students would need to “stand at attention” and “remove any headdress that is not being worn for religious purposes.”

VOTE THEM OUT.

Florida GOP Representative, and sexual predator, Matt Gaetz was adamant that his move to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was rooted in policy disagreements and not a personal vendetta related to the congressional ethics investigation against him.

But in private, Gaetz told a different story, that his effort to undercut, isolate, and ultimately remove McCarthy was payback for the ethics probe.

Matt Gaetz is still under investigation for being a sexual predator.

Last week Alabama Death Row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith became the first prisoner to die using a new untested method of execution in the United States—suffocation by nitrogen gas.

Word has it that the new method takes several minutes to run its course and the prisoner is writhing and screaming the entire time.

Alabama GOP Governor, and racist, Kay Ivey stated:

“I pray that Elizabeth Sennett’s family can receive closure after all these years dealing with that great loss.”

Why not just use a guillotine, Kay; or firing squad; or tar and feather him.

Republican South Dakota Governor, who once fired a state employee from her job and then gave that job to her own daughter, Kristi Noem says she will personally deliver razor wire to Republican Texas Governor, and human trafficker, Greg Abbott if federal agents interfere with his plans for the U.S.-Mexico border.

Kristi Noem; a faux Christian who condones murdering immigrants rather than work toward a border solution.

GOOD NEWS

Meanwhile, back at the border dispute discussions between Democrats and Republicans … tempers flared as Republicans battled among themselves over whether to accept or reject a deal for tougher immigration laws, with some pushing back on colleagues who want to bow to Hair Furor’s wishes to kill the deal.

But one sane member of the GOP, for at least this particular day, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis urged his Republican colleagues not to make it all about politics at the behest of another candidate:

“I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy. It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for [Hair Furor] to win.”

Tillia best be careful, or he’ll be censured like James Lankford because, again, the GOP doesn’t want to solve the immigration crisis; not when they can use it as a campaign tool every election cycle.

And on the Democrat side, here are some FACTS about the economy under President Biden …


And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... pardoning traitors for political points; gibberish speakers; anti-military criminals; lunatics and Big Liars; Christian Nationalist Nazi sympathizers; party over country fools; unfit for political office; liars and flip-floppers; and Texas.

So what do we do? We ...

Vote Blue. Here's Another Slew of Reasons Why

Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP …

Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl has suggested building a giant dome over the country to protect us from a hostile source:

“You know, when I watch our guys operate those things, it’s unbelievable. Missile coming in, missile coming in. These geniuses sit down. Most of them are, you know, they’re from MIT. But they sit down, bing bing bing bing, boom, ph-sheee. It’s gone. It’s amazing.”

That’s all.

And then Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl attacked the late Senator John McCain whose “no” vote derailed GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare:

“John McCain, for some reason, couldn’t get his arm up that day.”

Yes, gutless, draft dodging coward who avoided war because his “feet hurt” attacked a man who had both arms broken in an ejector seat and was then being beaten and bayoneted by a crowd when he landed in Hanoi, then tortured in prison with iron bars.

This is the Commander-In-Chief the cult wants.

And lastly, Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl didn’t submit a state loyalty oath that candidates in Illinois have been signing for more than fifty years that asserts they won’t “advocate the overthrow of the government.”

He’s telling us all that he will overthrow the government. Listen when a madman speaks.

Of note, he signed and submitted the document to Illinois election authorities for both the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.

New York GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has already decided not to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election.

She has already decided that Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl will be cheated out of a win even though she has no proof and no knowledge.

She’s an ass-kissing moron who may be saying this stuff so Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl picks her as his VP.

All about party with her ick, er, ilk.

House Speaker and God’s favorite lying racist Christian Nationalist  Mike Johnson walked a fine line between criticizing and defending language by Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl  attacking immigrants for “poisoning the blood” of the nation.

While saying it’s not language he would use he says he believes the “vast majority” of Americans “agree with his position” that it’s “not hateful.”

Immigrants—but not his wife Melanie—poison the blood of America and anyone who is against him is vermin? He quotes Hitler here and ALLEGED Christian Mike Johnson sees nothing wrong there.

Explains everything about how Johnson will goose-step through history.

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is threatening to remove President Biden from the state ballot as retaliation for the two other states that removed Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl  because he “engaged in insurrection”:

“What has happened in Colorado & Maine is disgraceful & undermines our republic. While I expect the Supreme Court to overturn this, if not, Secretaries of State will step in & ensure the new legal standard for [Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl] applies equally to [President Biden.]

While Colorado and Maine have both stated why they wish to remove the former guy from the ballot Ashcroft offers no reason at all, leading me to believe it’s because he’s a pandering MAGAt bitch who wants to kiss the ass of Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl.

Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson is leading efforts to block a deal on border security because he wants voters to decide on the issue.

The fact is, Johnson and the GOP want to do nothing and then blame Biden for it though they never raised a voice when Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl did nothing about border security.

It’s all party over country for the GOP.

Florida Governor and failed presidential candidate Ron “Lifts” DeSantis offered the clearest indication yet that he would pardon Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl  if he were to be convicted on the multiple criminal charges he faces:

“I think we got to move on as a country and, you know, like Ford did to Nixon, because the divisions are just not in the country’s interest.”

Or in the interests of a moron like DeSantis who is trying to score votes from MAGAts.

And then  from out of left field, DeSantis says the Left doesn’t want people to eat meat:

“A lot of this ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) movement has agriculture in the crosshairs. They don’t want people eating meat. I can tell you when I’m President, I’m not going to let anyone take away your meat, that’s for sure. I mean, I couldn’t subsist if I didn’t have the good meat. So don’t worry about that.”

Yes, you heard it here first, DeSantis likes to eat good meat.

Donald Wildmon, the founder of the American Family Association, a conservative Christian advocacy group, has died from complications related to Lewy body dementia, and to paraphrase Bette Davis:

“You should never say bad things about the dead, only good … Donald Wildmon is dead? Good.”

Wildmon launched campaigns and boycotts to pressure corporations to avoid supporting causes the group opposed, such as LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination measures.

Meanwhile, back at “Lifts” DeSantis … he has come out and said he is opposed to taking down Confederate statues because they erase history.

Odd though, because a few years back Ronnie supported removing Florida's confederate general statue in the US Capitol but now he’s against it. DeSantis is also the one who wants to stop teaching that slavery was a terrible thing because, in his words, there were “personal benefits” of entrapping, imprisoning, enslaving, raping, torturing and killing people of color.

Not to be outdone by DeSantis, Nikki "Some of my best friends are Black" Haley, GOP presidential candidate, has also announced that she’d pardon Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl :

“A leader needs to think about what’s in the best interest of the country. What’s in the best interest of the country is not to have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail, that continues to divide our country.”

At that same event Haley refused to reject the idea of becoming Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl’s running mate in 2024 even though as she announced he campaign she said she’d never take that job.

Lying, hypocritical, moron.

The Republican Party of Texas has rejected a petition to place the question of Texas secession on the 2024 primary ballot and the group behind the effort, The Texas Nationalist Movement, has promised a lawsuit.

I hope they do. This whole country would be better off without the asshattery of Texas and Texas politics.


GOOD NEWS

Ohio’s GOP Governor Mike DeWine struck down House Bill 68 that would have prevented doctors from prescribing hormones, puberty blockers or gender reassignment surgery before patients turn 18. It also would have prohibited transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams in high school and college:

“Were I to sign House Bill 68, or were House Bill 68 to become law, Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, their parents.”

Yes, a Republican is standing out of the way and letting parents, and medical professionals, decide what’s best for trans youth.

Federal judge Stephen Locher blocked key parts of an Iowa law that bans some books from school libraries and forbids teachers from raising LGBTQ+ issues.

The law was set to take effect January 1 and has already resulted in the removal of hundreds of books from Iowa schools. The law, which the GOP-led Legislature and GOP Governor Kim Reynolds approved, bans books depicting sex acts from school libraries and classrooms and forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with students through the sixth grade.

Locher ruling blocked enforcement of those two provisions.

And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... pardoning traitors for political points; gibberish speakers; anti-military criminals; ;unatics and Big Liars; Christian Nationalist Nazi sympathizers; party over country fools; unfit for political office; liars and flip-floppers; and Texas.

So what do we do? We ...
