GOP Dumpster Fire: Racists, Liars, Grifters and Some Good News

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 …

Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group AKA Truth Social slumped to their lowest level ever last week, the first trading day that its biggest shareholder—The Felon—is free to sell his stake in the company.

And we should trust our economy to that?

The Felon wants to impose a temporary 10% cap on credit-card interest rates but is it a good idea?

While borrowers in lower- and middle-income households who carry balances would benefit the most from caps on credit-card charges they would also be the first ones that banks would stop lending to if The Felon’s cap were passed.

So, yeah, another bad idea from Mister Bankruptcy.

In recent years Republicans have made up rules or redefined existing policies to push through their agenda, remember in 2016 then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to allow a hearing on President Obama’s nominee to SCOTUS,  Merrick Garland, by falsely claiming lying that it was a “rule,” but in 2020 McConnell rescinded the non-existent rule when The Felon nominated unqualified Amy Coney Barrett to the court.

Now, according to Senator Tommy Tuberville, there is another never-before-heard-of practice that says the Federal Reserve cannot lower interest rates before an election; and he is outraged because it’s a win for Biden and a win for the American people …

Tuberville claims this was only done, not to help the people, but to help Kamala Harris win in November and says the “nation’s central bank has no business moving rates this close to an election and is clearly trying to tip the balance in favor of Kamala Harris.”

Of note: The Felon nominated Powell, a Republican, to the chairmanship in 2018 and he confirmed in an 84-13 vote, “one of the widest margins of confirmation for a Trump nominee.”

Sorry, Tommy, you lose … you’re a loser.

Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck told the Wall Street Journal that he received a call from one of Sofa Loren’s staffers, who asked if the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten were true, and Heck replied:

“No. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true.”

But JD Vance still ran with the story and doubled down on the lie, and then even The Felon, in his disastrous cry-baby debate performance shrieked:

“They’re eating the dogs!!!”

This campaign runs on nothing; no solutions, just lies; no problems solved, just racist tropes.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr claims to be the great hope for the future of America if The Felon wins in November:

“I don’t have a post for myself that’s picked out. I know that I’m going to be deeply involved in helping to choose the people who can run FDA and NIH and CDC in a way that restores public health.”

Yes, the man who dragged a dead bear off a roadway and drove the carcass into Central Park as a joke, the man who heard about a dead whale on a beach and his first thought was to take a chainsaw and hack the whale’s face off, the man with the brain worms, is saying he’ll save America.

From himself?

During a stop in the automaking state of Michigan The Felon repeated false claims lied that Chinese automakers are putting up large factories in Mexico and vowed to slap 200% tariffs on any vehicles the un-built plants make and ship to the United States.

Facts: the tariffs would be paid for by anyone who bought a Mexican-built Chinese car.

Facts: there are no Chinese automobile factories in Mexico.

Michelle Morrow, the Republican QAnon candidate for North Carolina superintendent of public instruction, falsely claimed lied week that the “+” in LGBTQ+ indicates support for pedophilia. She used this nonsense bull shit to attack her Democratic opponent, Mo Green, for having accepted the endorsement of LGBTQ+ advocacy organization Equality North Carolina.

In case you’re unsure—and I don’t think you are—the “+” in LGBTQ+ indicates the inclusion of people whose sexual orientation or gender identities don’t fit neatly into categories like lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer/questioning like those who are asexual, nonbinary, intersex, etc.

At the ballot box, give Michele Morrow a “-” sign.

This week Senator John Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy of Louisiana baselessly accused an Arab American witness— Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, a nonpartisan national civil rights advocacy organization—of supporting terrorists during a Senate hearing, and as she called out his blatant Islamophobia, the GOP senator told her to “hide her head in a bag.”

That’s the GOP … racist AF.

Even though The Felon says he will have the government pay for IVF treatments, this week Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have created a right to access IVF treatments and mandated that insurance plans cover the practice, deriding the vote as a political ploy.

It’s the GOP playing politics with women’s healthcare so … VOTE THEM ALL OUT.

Two huge advocates of Free Speech lies, Elon Musk and Representative  Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter—I call it that because Elon hates that people still call it Twitter—to share a rumor that police claim an explosive device was discovered near the Long Island site where The Felon was set to hold.

Police reported the rumor of a bomb threat was not true was a lie but these two morally bankrupt asshats still ran with it because lies are all they offer.

In  another case of lies and stupidity, Sofa Loren AKA JD Vance told voters in North Carolina to start knocking on doors and posting on social media to get out the vote for The Felon because the campaign can’t count on the media or “big tech oligarchs” to help them.

Funny, though, that “big tech oligarchs” Elon Leon Musk and major venture capitalist and top Vance donor David Sacks lobbied for Vance as The Felon’s running mate.

I guess JD forgot about that. He also forgot that he begged his BFF, “big tech oligarch” Peter Thiel, who bankrolled Vance’s ascendancy to the Senate, to fund the failing GOP campaign.

The Ohio Christian Coalition, representing the Christian faith in that state, issued a scathing letter in defense of Haitian migrants in Springfield and decried the false statements lies spewed by both Sofa Loren and The Felon that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating pets and wildlife:

“We are disturbed and outraged by the reports that have masqueraded as news regarding many of our siblings in Springfield, Ohio. Public and prominent figures have intentionally crafted untruths that have assaulted the culture and character of Haitians residing in Springfield.”

Last week a coalition of Ohio’s Catholic bishops issued a similar letter.

Congressional Republicans in Texas will spend millions on television ads targeting Democrats for supporting pro-LGBTQ+ legislation.

The National Republican Congressional Committee unveiled its first Texas ad of the general election accusing Democrat Representative Vicente Gonzalez of pushing “sex changes for kids.”

Following suit, because he also has no real plans to offer, other than running off to Mexico when the power goes out in Texas, Raphael “Ted” Cruz unveiled his campaign’s biggest ad buy yet for two ads accusing challenger Democrat Representative Colin Allred of supporting legislation that allows men to use women’s restrooms and not knowing “the difference between boys and girls.”

Once again, the GOP runs on lies and fears not solutions and plans.

The Felon spoke this week of rebuilding “our roads, bridges, highways, and airports” even though during his last four years in office, while he promoted every other week as infrastructure week, he never had anything more that a “concept” of a plan; but then he said this:

“I used to go to school on the subway … my parents would drop me off at a subway and I’d go to Union Turnpike, or I’d go to wherever. They had no fear that I was going to be disappearing! They would take me to a subway, put me on, and say, ‘Bye darling, bye.’ If you do that today, you have about a 75% chance that you’ll never see your child again. What the hell has happened here? What has happened?”

That fat gelatinous bastard riding the subway? Bitch, please.

JD Vance, AKA Sofa Loren, claims that:

“Kamala Harris has granted mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Now I happen to think what Kamala Harris has done is not just wrong it is illegal! So when Kamala Harris uses an illegal action to give amnesty to aliens, that does not make them legal immigrants, it makes them illegal immigrants unless you’ve lost all common sense.”

Someone needs to tell JD, since he longs to be Vice President, that vice presidents have no power to grant anyone amnesty, much less “millions of illegal immigrants.”

JD told us he makes up stories and here he goes again.

This week  over 700 high-ranking national security officials endorsed Kamala Harris saying they have concerns over The felon’s “scary authoritarian streak” and adding:

“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue. We saw as much during the debate.”

The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers, 15 four-star generals, 10 former cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations.

But hey, The Felon and Sofa Loren have Kid Rock and Tulsi Gabbard.

After calling it a “dangerous practice,” Kentucky Governor, Democrat, Andy Beshear signed an executive order to ban conversion therapy on minors in his state.

Beshear said attempts to alter a young person’s gender expression or sexual attractions have “no basis in medicine”—a view supported by experts in medicine and mental health but not shared by GOP Representative Josh Calloway, a Baptist preacher, who vows to “stop this governor from pushing his harmful far-left agenda on struggling kids.”

As of now  Kentucky is the 24th state to ban the ex-gay torture of minors.

Oh, and Josh? God is watching, sees your bigotry and intolerance, and She is not happy.

Former six-term South Carolina Republican Congressman Bob Inglis added his name to the growing list of Reagan- and Bush-era conservatives who will vote for Kamala Harris ; Inglis is the state’s first prominent Republican to back Harris:

“[The Felon] is a clear and present danger to the republic. He’s disqualified based on character and rationality, so I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris. I feel sorry for him. He’s really quite a sick puppy. He’s been unfaithful to three wives. Why would we, at the altar with him as the fourth, think that he’s going to be faithful to us? Talk about irrationality. He needs some help.”

Snap.

Remember, this is a party that promises but never delivers, a party of demented old men, and mascara-wearing RuPaul wannabes who hate women, the  LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, education and members of our military.

We don't need that so ...

I have been having trouble sleeping lately. I wake up around 1:30AM every morning and then have trouble going back to sleep or have a fitful night’s sleep. And I’m a cranky bitch when sleep deprived.

The other night Carlos, who drinks hot chocolate nearly every night asked if I wanted some, and I thought the warm cocoa might help me sleep. Wrong. I was up at 2AM and then sleeping badly until 7AM. That next night, Carlos was making his chocolate and asked if I wanted some, and I said it didn’t really help me sleep any better, and he said:

“I thought you slept better, because you weren’t snoring non-stop.”

And that’s when it hit me. He feeds me the hot chocolate so I won’t snore and he can sleep better. It’s all about him. But I still had the cocoa and I did sleep better.

I swear, one of these days Tuxedo is gonna snap his neck with all the head shaking at the daily news.

And kinda on that same topic … if you’re a doctor or a nurse who refuses to get the vaccine then should be a fucking nurse or doctor.

Pope Frankie has announced that all visitors to the Vatican have to be vaccinated, so are Catholics gonna have to stop claiming a faith-based exemption?

I mean, that fits with the typical hypocritical Catholic ideology.

Remember when Thing 45 was in office and he was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center in the middle of the night and the White House refused to comment?

It was because he was having an "emergency" colonoscopy—and by the way, who has an emergency colonoscopy—and didn’t want people making fun of his ass on TV.

I think he was trying to remove Lindsey Graham from his ass.

Hello America …meet a prominent member of the GOP: Louisiana Senator  John Kennedy, who announced his run for re-election next year by saying he would rather drink weed killer than let his constituents down.

Seriously.

So, that wacky GOP, and their friends and allies spent months, and some $6 million, on an audit of the 2020 election to prove that Thing 45 won the state of Arizona and yet all they proved is that Biden got an additional 360 votes.

Nicely done, Arizona.

While the Pope wants to make sure the unvaccinated don’t come near him, he also wants to make sure that Archbishop Rainer Maria Woelki, who hid a report about priests raping children, can take a “spiritual time-out” from his duties.

Yes, a  spiritual time out for aiding and abetting child rapists?

Fuck them all.

I don’t like Omarosa Manigault Newman, but this makes me smile.

Thing 45 has lost an effort to enforce a nondisclosure agreement against Newman for that tell-all book she wrote about serving in his administration. Even better is that Thing 45 must pay her legal fees.

Comedian Billy Eichner is making history with his upcoming gay rom-com Bros, the first explicitly gay romantic comedy from a major Hollywood studio, by casting LGBTQ+ actors in all the roles, both gay and straight, in the film.

Good on Billy.

In this week’s edition of Would You Hit It we have actor and fitness model Eric Guilmette. Eric has a rather beautiful face, and body, though the pec tattoo does kinda bother me because I prefer a clean work surface.

Still, the rules are Simple: Would You Hit It? Yes or No.

Last week on The View, with Vice President Kamala Harris set to appear, both Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro tested positive for COVID—later determined to be a false positive—and were removed from the show for the day.

And so Junior decided to come for Ana, a Republican anti-Thing 45 pundit, by making fun of her weight.

Trouble is, you don’t come for Ana unless she sends for you.

I Didn't Say It

Cindy McCain, speaking to CNN about Arizona’s GQP-led recount of an election that has already been called:

“Listen, this whole thing is ludicrous, quite frankly. It’s ludicrous. And this also comes from a state party in Arizona that refused to be audited themselves on votes that were cast within their own party communications. The election is over. Biden won. I know many of them don’t like the outcome, but, you know, elections have consequences. “And so this does not surprise me, you know, that things are just aloof and crazy out there right now with regards to the election.”

Cindy is a lady and ‘ludicrous’ is a polite way of saying ‘fucked up mess’.

I am not a lady, so this business in Arizona, where they are now looking for bamboo threads in the ballots because that proves they came from China, is a ‘fucked up mess.’

Josh Hawley, GQP insurrectionist and lying traitor, saying it’s a “slur” to lump in those patriots with those other patriots who ransacked the Capitol:

“That was as I was entering the House chamber the morning of the 6th. Those were demonstrators who were out there on the plaza, on the far end of the plaza standing behind barricades, waving American flags. Some of them were calling, so I gestured toward them [He held a fist in the air]. They had every right to be there. When I walked by that particular group of folks were standing there peacefully behind police barricades. I don’t know which of those protesters if any of them participated in the criminal riot.” 

When you raise a fist to insurrectionists, you are condoning insurrection.

Josh Hawley is a traitor to this country. And he has blood on his hands.

Rick Santorum, on CNN, proving just how racist and ignorant Republicans are:

"We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture.”

Racist, homophobic, ignorant fuck.

photo

Newt Gingrich, on Fox News, speaking the GQP anti-LGBTQ+ card:

“Every idiotic thing that the Biden administration has done in the first 100 days, you begin to realize—whether it’s threatening everybody who believes in the Second Amendment or it’s attacking everybody who believes in right to life or it is attacking people of traditional values who are appalled that this administration would fly the gay flag at American embassies all over the world. I mean, you just go down item by item and it’s almost like they have a checklist of ‘What can we do that will really, truly, infuriate traditional Americans?’ And I’ve never seen anything like it. I couldn’t imagine any administration which had been this deliberately anti-American and it’s deliberately committed to infuriating the majority of the American people.”

Newt Gingrich talking about an "assault on traditional" values is the height of hypocrisy.

This is the same Newt Gingrich who cheated on his first wife while she was fighting cancer, and then told her he was divorcing her so he could marry his mistress while she was in the hospital.

This is the same Newt Gingrich who then cheated on his second wife with a devout Catholic woman whom he would then leave his second wife for, making his devout Catholic mistress his third wife.

I guess those are RepubliQAnon family values.

John Kennedy, GQP loon, ranting on the Fox News show Outnumbered about President Biden:

“What President Biden has done is immeasurably reckless and foolish. He’s gone full wokerista. He has joined those people who believe that America was wicked in its origins and that the American people are even more wicked today, that we have millions of Americans who are racist and misogynistic and ignorant, especially if they didn’t vote for him. And the wokeristas, who Mr. Biden has joined, have contempt for America. They should have gratitude. And I am very, very disappointed in President Biden. I knew he would be left of center. I didn’t know he would be left of Lenin. He knows better. He knows better.”

Um, loon? May I call you loon? One look at the Republican party, with your Confederate flag-waving, racist epithet spewing, Black Lives Don’t Matter toothless cousin-fuckers should tell you that America has tens of millions of racist, misogynistic, ignorant fools.

Look in a mirror, bitch.

Jake Tapper, on the GQP’s continuing lies about The Big Lie, and how he won’t have them on his show:

“The lie about the election on its own is anti-democracy, and it is sowing seeds of ignorance in the populous, and obviously has the potential to incite violence. But beyond that is, if you’re willing to lie about that, what are you not willing to lie about? And that’s where we are when it comes to the House Republican leadership, McCarthy and Scalise, and where we are with too many leaders of the Republican party. They’re not willing to tell their voters the truth. What does that say about them? If they’re willing to lie about Joe Biden wanting to steal your hamburgers, and QAnon and the Big Lie about the election, what are they not willing to lie about? Why should I put any of them on TV?”

They’ve done nothing for healthcare but have whined ad nauseum about Dr. Seuss.

No plan for infrastructure but lied about Biden outlawing red meat.

They’ve denied COVID, denied the vaccine, and but swear the government is buying Kamala Harris’ book to give to migrant children.

They still say the twice-impeached, one-term loser won an election which he did not.

Why bother speaking to liars?

I Didn't Say It ...

Anderson Cooper, CNN, blasting _____ for his asshatted assertion that the U.S. is “in a good place” when it comes to COVID-19:

“[W]e’re in a good place? Those are his actual words. I didn’t actually believe it when I first heard it, but it’s on tape. California, Hawaii, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma and Texas on Tuesday shattered their previous daily record highs for new cases. The biggest jumps occurred in Texas and California, the two largest U.S. states, with more than 10,000 each. [But] the man whose every decision is based on what will get him reelected, what will energize his base and appeal to people’s most primal fears, is saying that governors and school officials don’t want schools open because of politics, because it benefits them politically. … There is no political benefit keeping schools closed and kids upset and parents angry and parents unable to work because their kids are stuck at home. Oh, yeah, politically that’s going to serve you really well by doing that. Even as new modeling from the University of Washington today forecasts 208,000 people in this country may be dead of COVID-19 by Election Day. Which the president still does not seem to think is all that bad. Because he is still repeating the same falsehoods as ever about testing and mortality, which fell for a while, but is once again sadly, sickeningly, ticking up. … We’re so deep down a well of lies it’s hard to realize how dark this is.”

The Occupant of the White House is so desperate not to be seen as a loser in November that he is willing to watch people die.

And if Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen can be let out of prison because of the horrors of COVID how is putting children back in schools considered safe?

photo

Peter Navarro, White House economic advisor and asshat, saying—without a stitch of evidence—that the Chinese Communist Party “spawned” coronavirus in a lab and then sent infected citizens to “seed” COVID-19 in the U.S:

“They spawned the virus. They hid the virus. They sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals over here to seed and spread the virus before we knew. The dateline is November. They spawned the virus, probably came out of the biological lab. For two months, they hid the virus from the world and the possibility of a pandemic, behind the shield of the World Health Organization. While they did that, they vacuumed up the world’s protective equipment, including 2 billion masks. While they were preventing any domestic travels from Wuhan to Beijing or Shanghai, locking down their transportation network, they freely sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals on aircraft to go around the world. …They deliberately allowed Chinese nationals to come to the United States, Italy, and everywhere in between, who were infected, while they were locking down their own transportation network.”

How is it that these so-called officials can blatantly lie about the virus? And, let’s say China did create the virus and spread it around the world… please explain how the rest of the world has flattened the curve while ours skyrockets.

Adam Perry, hot gay Broadway actor and dancer, on suffering from symptoms of COVID-19 four months after being diagnosed:

“It’s quite terrifying to be honest. There’s nothing like the feeling of not being able to breathe. It’s not like getting the flu or a cold virus, where you start getting better after a few days, and your trajectory is on the way up. With this thing, I would feel better for a few days, and then it would just come and smack me again. In the very beginning, I had two days of symptoms, and then I felt like a million bucks for three days, so I thought I was off the hook, I thought I had beat it, but then it came back with a vengeance. I’ve been doing eight shows a week for 15, 20 years. I’ve been doing eight-minute tap dance numbers. My lungs have always been great. But now the capacity is not the same, and I’m just praying daily that they’ll get back to normal and I’ll be able to do those things again. I cried watching the news … Cases are spiking. The president makes jokes about coronavirus. People shame others for wearing masks. The country is making it a partisan issue. It’s not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue, we have to take care of each other. It really is about teamwork with this thing, and we all have to come together, wear a mask, socially distance for as long as we can until there’s a vaccine, because this thing has an infinite variable of outcomes for people. There’s short term, long term, and we just don’t know, so it’s just really important that people take care of each other, and I just really don’t want other people to have to experience what I experienced.”

From the mouth of a victim … listen.

Laura Ingraham, stoking fear because she’s a White Supremacist and that’s how they roll:

“Some folks are still trying to pretend that all of this mayhem will stop if we just let the Democrats have the White House. Well, we have the Democrats in power in Atlanta, in Chicago, in New York, in Baltimore and beyond and beyond. What’s happened? So, this thinking is foolish and naive. The Democrats have shown they’re utterly unwilling to restrain the hard left from seizing property and committing violence. And as for the culture wars, why would the radicals stop when they think they are winning? So, ignore the folks who say that it just gets better when we let the Democrats have more power. The only way this situation gets better is for Democrats to lose, and lose so often that they are forced to apologize for their relentless slandering of our nation’s history, and by extension, the majority of our citizens who still unapologetically love this country and still believe that it’s worth celebrating.”

People like Ingraham and Carlson and _____ stoke fear and hate in this country and then point the finger at those trying to fix the problem.

People like Ingraham and Carlson and _____ are the problem.

John Kennedy, GOP Senator from Louisiana, saying Americans should build a fallout shelter if Joe Biden wins the presidency.

 “Well, the vice president says he will transform America. He will. And the American people will pay a fearsome price. His foreign policy is hugs and hot cocoa for America’s enemies. If he’s elected, my advice to you is to build a fallout shelter. Build a fallout shelter. You’ll need it. Weakness invites the wolves. His domestic policy, he wants you—he wants all of us to surrender our money and our freedom, every bit of it, to Washington.”

Perhaps we can all hide in the bunker _____ uses to hide from scary people?

Siddown, asshat.

Bubba Wallace, NASCAR drive, asking Americans to meet hate with love after _____ falsely accused him of carrying out a "hoax" involving a noose found in his garage stall:

“Your words and actions will always be held to a higher standard than others. You have to be prepared for that. You don’t learn these things in school. You learn them from trials and tribulations, the ups and downs this crazy world provides. You will always have people testing you. Seeing if they can knock you off your pedestal. I encourage you to keep your head held high and walk proudly on the path you have chosen. Never let anybody tell you [you] can’t do something! God put us all here for a reason. Find that reason and be proud of it and work your tails off every day towards it! All the haters are doing is elevating your voice and platform to much greater heights! Last thing, always deal with the hate being thrown at you with LOVE! Love over hate every day. Love should some naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate. Even when it’s HATE from the POTUS. Love wins”

HATE from POTUS! Preach, Bubba.

_____, Racist-In-Chief, n Confederate Flag:

“My stance is very simple: It’s freedom of speech. You do what you do. It’s freedom of speech. NASCAR can do whatever they want, and they’ve chosen to go a certain way, other people choose to go a different route.”

But you said it wasn’t Free Speech when Kaepernick took a knee, so it appears that it’s only Free Speech to _____ when it’s also Hate Speech.
