Vote. Vote Blue. Here's A Slew of Reasons Why

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

Back in 2004, Mike Johnson, current GOP House Speaker, was the lead attorney for Stockwell Place Elementary, a school being sued for pushing Christianity on its students. A set of Jewish parents claimed the school held prayer sessions, taught Christian songs in class and promoted a teacher-led prayer group called Stallions for Christ that met during recess.

Johnson warned his congregation at the Airline Drive Church of Christ in Shreveport that the lawsuit by the Jewish family was to keep Christian activities out of a public school:

“The ultimate goal of the enemy is silencing the gospel. This is spiritual warfare.”

No, it’s a family trying not to have another religion foisted upon their children without their consent. Imagine Mike Johnson’s reaction if Islam was pushed on his children at school.

Mike Johnson is a Christian Nationalist; trust.

This week, Governor Ron “Lifts” DeSantis awarded more than $28 million through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund to expand semiconductor manufacturing and chip manufacturing through five workforce development projects.

To be clear President Biden made the funds available to Florida, where the Governor there will assign the funds, but DeSantis had nothing to do with the money coming in and offered zero thanks to the man who did.

President Joe Biden.

Shortly before Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina, United States Representative, and Republican, María Elvira Salazar praised the country as having everything, including “only one culture, only one religion and only one race, completely homogeneous.”

Christian Nationalist and racist ideals propagated by the GOP.

A 56-year-old man from western NY crashed his car near the Rainbow Bridge border checkpoint from the US into Canada. He was reportedly supposed to be at a Kiss concert that was cancelled, so he decided to go to a Niagara Falls casino in Canada with his wife in their $300,000 Bentley; they both died in a fiery crash.

But Fox News and right-wing Republicans, who have been waiting for a terror attack related to border security, to blame on Biden, began spreading disinformation that the vehicle was “full of explosives” and that it was a “terrorist attack.”

The man was pissed because KISS cancelled a concert and rightwingnuts and Fox News used that story to lie about a terror attack.

Back to Tiny Ron DeSantis who, in his latest appeal to MAGAts and racists, threatened to send “Kamala [Harris] back to her liberal homeland.”

Her homeland is California, but the racist tome of this remark seems to suggest that because of her skin color, Harris is not an American.

Racist. GOP. Ron DeSantis.

In Arkansas, GOP Governor and former Liar-In-Chief to Inmate # P01135809, Sarah Huckabee Sanders held kickoff party for the Arkansas Razorbacks 2023 football season which cost the people of Arkansas over $13,000, including $1400 for gingham tablecloths, $600 for pom-poms, and $450 for buttons that read “Best Gov/Best State;” it costs a lot to feed Aunt Lydia’s ego.

It was invitation-only and I guarantee the people of Arkansas did not sign off on their money being used to feed Huckleberry Cronies.

Is Joe Biden too old to be president? I’m not sure, though I’d prefer handing the reins off to someone younger, like Inmate # P01135809, who used Veterans Day to honor our troops by quoting Adolf Hitler:

“In honor of our great veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal and cheat on Elections … “

Hitler once said:

“We pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country,.”

Is Joe too old? Maybe, but between the choice of too old and someone who quotes Hitler I choose age over a traitor.

Speaking of Demented, here again is Inmate # P01135809, confusing President Biden with President Obama:

“The head of Hungary ... Viktor Orban, did anybody ever hear him? Probably, you know, considered very powerful, very powerful within his country and outside of his country, not exactly loved by some of the European nations ... he didn’t allow millions of people to invade his country ... so he doesn’t have crime and he doesn’t have the problems that they’re having in other countries where millions of people who are allowed to go in. But they were interviewing him two weeks ago and they said, ‘What would you advise President Obama? The whole world seems to be exploding and imploding.’ And he said ‘It’s very simple. He should immediately resign and they should replace him with President Trump, who kept the world safe.'”

Liar and demented.

And speaking of crazy, Ron DeSantis is telling Iowans that in the unlikely event the Bahamas got warlike and attacked South Florida, he would obliterate the island:

“And I thought to myself like if the Bahamas were firing rockets into Fort Lauderdale, like we would not accept that for like one minute. I mean, we would just level it. We would never be willing to live like that as Americans.”

Like I guess he like thinks Hamas and like the BaHamas are like the same place?

A vast majority of Republicans say they support installing deterrents such as razor wire and deadly buoy barriers in rivers to prevent immigrants from entering the country illegally, even if people are endangered or killed.

They are okay with murder.

Mississippi Governor, and Republican Tate Reeves’ top campaign contributors, who gave his campaign at least $50,000 received a total of $1.4 billion in state contracts or grants since he took office in 2020.

Quite a bargain. The GOP is for sale, clearly.

Some central Florida lawmakers are considering “all legislative, legal and executive options available” to stop business owners in a small town from voluntarily displaying rainbow decals in their windows indicating that they are “safe place” for LGBTQ+ people who feel threatened.

You can’t say gay, and you certainly can be gay-friendly, or even a safe place for LGBTQ+ Floridians.

The Houston Independent School District, the largest in Texas and the eighth-largest in the country, will eliminate librarian positions in 28 schools in order to turn the libraries into “discipline centers.” The move does not appear to be budget related, as librarians will be allowed to apply for other positions and the state has a $32 billion surplus.

No books; no study aids; detention centers.

Hung Cao, a Republican running for US Senate in Virginia, is warning voters that “witchcraft” has “taken over” in some parts of California because a place in Monterey, California that was once called ‘Lovers of Christ Point,’ is now called ‘Lover’s Point.'

“They took out the Christ, it’s ‘Lover’s Point,’ and it’s really—Monterey’s a very dark place now, a lot of witchcraft, and the Wiccan community has really taken over there. We can’t let that happen in Virginia.”

And so he’s running on the “There’s Witches In California” platform.

And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy.

Christian Nationalism; racism; anti-LGBTQ+; banning libraries; lying, cheating, g rifting; fearmongering.

I Didn't Say It

Seth Rogen, actor, criticizing Emmy producers for having the show during a pandemic:

“Let me start by saying: there’s way too many of us in this little room. What are we doing? They said this was outdoors—it’s not! They lied to us. We’re in a hermetically sealed tent right now. I would not have come to this. Why is there a roof? It’s more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don’t kill Eugene Levy tonight. That is what has been decided. This is insane. I went from wiping my groceries to having Paul Bettany sneeze in my face—so, that’s a big week! If anyone’s gonna sneeze in my face, Paul, I want it to be you. …All right, that’s all the jokes I wrote.”

It was a crowded room in a pandemic.

Not very smart.

Mary Trump, on who is the dumbest member of that family:

“Donnie [Junior]  is a deeply unintelligent person. I’ve been asked this, who’s the stupidest one, and it’s him. He has no core. He has no ideology. [He can] out-racism anybody, he’ll out-misogyny anybody, he’ll shoot as many innocent animals as possible to get whatever passes for affection in my family.”

Sad. Though I still think Eric is the Dumb one, while Junior is the drug addicted unhinged one and Ivanka is the daughter wife.

Steve Bannon, on his webcast lying about the Big Lie:

“Rudy Giuliani is a man of the highest moral character. But you know what? He doesn’t back down from a fight. He’s going to take it on, right? Everything they say about him is a lie and eventually it’s proven true. You’re gonna start seeing this in Arizona tomorrow. The decertification process starts tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. Should have started back in January. It’s starting tomorrow. And I don’t care if MSNBC—you know, Rachel Maddow is punching out. She wants out of here. She’d gone in April. She’s quitting. OK, you know why she’s quitting? She understands exactly what they did.”

Um, Steve, you tool. Rachel Maddow just extended her contract with MSNBC  and got a huge payday, so you might wanna rethink that falsehood.

And don’t get me started on Boozy Rudy’s “moral character" when you look like his drinking buddy.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow Nutjob, on the “new” reinstatement day for Thing 45:

“Originally I had hoped for August and September. I asked all the lawyers just yesterday. We are taking this case to the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. Now maybe Fox will report that today. You heard it here first because our case is ready. We are bringing it to the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. This evidence is 100% non-subjective evidence. The Supreme Court, they’re going to vote 9-nothing to take it in. We will have this before the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. That’s my promise to the people of this country. We’re all in this together. We worked very hard on this.”

Hey Mikey, take one of your pillows and press it over your face.

Asshat.

Eric _____, the Dumb One, crying to Fox Business about all the subpoenas his crime family is getting:

“The problem with the Democrats is they dig so deep that they always find themselves. And the reason I’m frustrated about this is every single day since my father ran for president, my father and our entire family and our company has been under investigation. Every single day … we get subpoena after subpoena after subpoena. But, I mean, they weaponized the entire system in this country. They’ve weaponized the DOJ. They’ve weaponized our military. They weaponized the educational system in this country. They’ve weaponized the medical system in this country. The Democrats weaponize absolutely everything they can to use again their political opponents.”

The Democrats weaponized the DOJ? Oh Eric, if you don’t wanna be called the Dumb One you should really stop speaking.

PS Attorney Marc Mukasey, one of the lawyers representing the Dumb One’s in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s fraud investigation into the “Family Business: has withdrawn from representing Eric.

Uh oh.

Tate Reeves, Mississippi GQP governor, criticizing President Biden’s vaccine mandates as an “attack” on “hard-working Americans”:

“The question here is not about what we do in Mississippi, it’s about what this president is trying to impose on the American worker. The reality is this is an attack by the president on hard-working Americans and hard-working Mississippians who he wants to choose between getting a jab in their arm and their ability to feed their families.”

Huh, so a vaccine which could save these workers lives is a bad thing but letting them go unvaxxed and perhaps die is good for the worker.

Tate, you’re giving Eric a run for the tile of The Dumb One.
