Strange Sightings on Capitol Hill
Liz Cheney called out the GOP leaders who have enabled white nationalism to spread within the Republican party……her party, her dad’s party, her family’s party. That’s leadership — denouncing white supremacy within your own party.
In response to the domestic terrorist attack that happened in Buffalo, Senator Dick Durbin said on the Senate floor, “We don’t have to look far to find those elected officials. The third ranking House Republican (Elise Stefanik who replaced Liz Cheney after her fellow Republicans kicked her out) claimed in a campaign ad that Democratic immigration policies will overthrow our current electorate. What will it take for the Republican Party to finally condemn this hate?”
Fox News is explaining the mass shooting in Buffalo by framing it as mental illness (never mind that he went hunting for Black people with his assault weapon that had “nigger” written on the side and published a manifesto explaining that he was getting rid of people of color because they’re taking over which is straight up replacement theory promoted by Fox News.)
When Elise Stefanik was asked to explain why she used immigrants to make a “permanent election insurrection” claim in her campaign ad, she said, “Republicans do not support amnesty. Democrats support amnesty, which is unconstitutional.”
Power tripping Ron DeSantis attacked the First Amendment by signing a bill making it illegal to peacefully protest in residential areas. Peaceful protesters will be arrested and put in jail if they do not comply. He outlawed free speech in Florida. Hey Elise! That’s unconstitutional.
Abbott is starving babies now. Governor Greg Abbott? No, Abbott the baby formula maker. They’re behind in production. Got us there for a second because targeting babies is something Greg Abbott would totally do. He’s killed Texans with covid, guns, and freezing weather, why not kill babies by cutting off their food supply?
The Supreme Court has sided with plaintiff Ted Cruz in letting candidates who loan their own campaigns money continue to fundraise after the race is over to pay themselves back. The “money is speech, corporations are people” 6 Federalist Society justices voted in favor, citing the First Amendment, and the 3 liberal “get money out of politics” justices voted against.
It is primary day in Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Idaho, and Oregon. In Kentucky, punchable Rand Paul and gun nut Tom Massie are running for re-election. In Pennsylvania, the Trump backed reality TV star anointed by Oprah, “Dr Oz” is facing off with conservative black commentator Kathy Barnette who was at the insurrection on January 6. In the skinhead capital of the nation, Idaho the current governor, Brad Little is facing a challenge by his lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, who is a far right QAnon nut endorsed by Trump who backs militia groups like the Proud Boys and Three Percenters as enforcers of the law. Two of the candidates running for Secretary of State in Idaho believe Trump won in 2020. Mike Crapo is running for re-election for US Senate. He’s a hardcore gun nut and pro-lifer. In Oregon, 19 Republicans are competing with each other for the governor’s seat which has been held by Democrats for 40 years.
Here are the Republican Senators who are running for re-election this year. Vote every single one of them out:
John Boozman — Arkansas. A very boring, somewhat invisible old white guy who used to be an optometrist. He’s pretty forgettable except for voting to acquit Trump in both impeachment trials so he’s got to go.
Marco Rubio — Florida. Bible thumper sell-out who accepted a ton of campaign cash from the Russians. He embarrassed himself by kissing up to Trump after he went on the record for despising him. After the Republicans pissed everybody off and everybody started referring to Republicans as “fuckers” he got offended even though he was never offended by Trump’s vulgarity. He blames Biden for the “divisiveness” in the country.
Chuck Grassley — Iowa. The holder of the white male gerontocracy title. He’s one of the oldest, richest, whitest members of Congress who protected Brett Kavanaugh when he presided over his confirmation hearing as Chair of the Judiciary Committee. He’s 88 and running for re-election. He’s way too old and out of touch. The guy has got to go.
Mike Crapo — Idaho. He voted to convict Clinton over lying about a blow job but voted not to convict Trump after he was impeached twice for extorting Ukraine and trying to take over the US government. He has an A+ rating from the NRA and is endorsed by Trump. Nope.
Todd Young — Indiana. He’s running for a second term. He voted no on the Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure and Jobs Act so fuck him.
Jerry Moran — Kansas. He was one of the guys who went to Moscow on July 4th so fuck him.
Rand Paul — Kentucky. He’s a Libertarian who is against just about everything having to do with the government. Every white man for himself. He kisses up to both Trump and Putin and is hated by more people than most politicians (except for Mitch McConnell, the other senator in Kentucky.) His neighbor punched him out and put him in the hospital. He too partied in Russia with other Republicans. He hand delivered a letter from Trump to Putin.
John Kennedy — Louisiana. He’s a deep south racist and misogynist who said horrible things about Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearing. He too went to Moscow on July 4th. He said the impeachment process reminded him of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing but “without the vagina hats.”
John Hoeven — North Dakota. Went to Russia on July 4th. Fuck him.
James Lankford — Oklahoma. He’s a Trump butt kisser who parrots all of the GOP talking points without an original thought of his own. Bye, Jim Bob Butt.
Tim Scott — South Carolina. The GOP’s Uncle Tim. He’s the only Black Republican in the Senate and lets himself be exploited any time asked. He’s a traitor to the Black community. No loyalty other than to Trump and the GOP, and no integrity. There have only been 11 Black members in the Senate and 4 have been Republicans (2 of whom served before the parties switched and the Republicans were the good guys.) Uncle Tim has got to go.
John Thune — South Dakota. Went to Russia on July 4th. Get out.
Mike Lee — Utah. He’s in big trouble for being part of the insurrection. He should not only not be re-elected, he should be in jail.
Ron Johnson — Wisconsin. The fourth richest member in the Senate, he went to Russia on July 4th. Like Rand Paul, there is a long list of reasons why Ron Johnson should not be in Congress. Top of the list is he is a Trump/Putin loyalist and a believer and promoter of conspiracy theories. He led the witch hunt against Hunter Biden. He’s a traitor. GO!
Six of the eight Republican senators who went to Moscow on July 4th are up for re-election. What the hell were they doing there?
For the first time in decades, Congress is holding a public hearing today on UFOs to try and figure out what the deal is about the sightings and who or what might be behind them. This is the least bizarre thing happening on Capitol Hill today.
