A Month In and How's The GOP Doin' So Far?

Just like Missouri did last week, this week members of Florida House staff leadership, who are appointed by Republicans, have posted flyers throughout the Capitol showing what to wear; women are being asked to never show their shoulders when House members are present in the building.

Now, to be fair, the Florida Legislature—majority GOP—has had its fair share of sex scandals. In the past but are they suggesting women are to blame because of bare shoulders?

This may seem minor, but it’s another case on GOP men not taking responsibility for their actions and requiring other people to adjust to fix the problem.

Hey, GOP men of the Florida Legislature, stop bein’ so rape-y.

 

I find it funny the GOP calls themselves the Party of the Working Class when one of the first things the new Congress does is offer up tax breaks to the rich, but this explains everything.

Last week Republicans gathered in Florida to elect the chair of the RNC and the bitching and complaining began at once.

Oh, not about the chair, or the election, but at the cost of everything. Rooms at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach resort where the RNC met start $1,283 for Wednesday night—with a AAA discount—and $881 for Thursday; also included is a mandatory $55 a night resort fee. Parking your car is another $75, per day,

The GOP ran on high gas prices, inflation, and are now railing about the cost of eggs, but choose a luxury resort that most of their constituents could never afford to hold their little meeting.

Out of touch, much?

 

North Dakota has a new proposed bill which reads:

“A board of a school district, a public or private school, or a teacher in a public or private school may not adopt a policy establishing or providing a place, facility, school program, or accommodation that caters to a student’s perception of being any animal species other than human.”

Yes,. The furries are back and are in North Dakota, according to rightwingnuts in the state GOP.

One of the bill’s sponsors, loon and GOP Representative Lori VanWinkle said her state does indeed have students who don’t identify as human, but as “cats and dogs.”

In addition to going after bathroom litter boxes, the bill also bans accommodations for transgender students.

Like all the other GOP morons who  ranted about furries and litter boxes, VanWinkle has offered no proof, not a  photograph, not a witness statement, nothing, to prove her newest cause even exists.

 

Karma is a fun bitch, you know? I mean, it was just a couple of weeks back that former Vice President Michael Elizabeth Pence demanded, with a foot stomp and  a head snap, that a special counsel be appointed to look into President Biden‘s handling of classified documents, after a small number had been found in his former office and then at his home.

On the other hand Michael Elizabeth Pence has said nary a word about appointing a special counsel to investigate the classified documents found at his private residence.

Pence, who is expected to launch a 2024 presidential run, had taken to the right-wing media talk circuit, demanding “equal treatment” by the DOJ for President Biden, after AG Merrick Garland had appointed a special counsel in November to investigate Thing 45’s possibly criminal handling of classified documents.

What goes around, Mike? Amirite?

 

Fewer than one-third of Americans believe that House GOP leaders are prioritizing the country’s most critical issues.

Just 27% of Americans believe that GOP leaders in the House have had the right priorities, 73% say they haven’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems.

Border? Fentanyl? Inflation? Guns?

Nope, Hunter Biden’s laptop.

But it’s not just Democrats and liberals who are annoyed; 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents disapprove of the GOP leadership.

Not a good look for the Party of Traitors.

  1. The ban on women's wardrobe is meant to be more a deterrent than anything else since Republicans prefer to be governed by white men in business suits.

  7. I got two nice plump ass cheeks that the gopn Republicans can fucking kiss. Part of the working class my foot!!!! It seems that anything good comes along that would benefit all of the citizens of the United States they shoot it down. Maybe the Democrats should start doing the opposite. Whatever Democrats Democrats want to do or pass Republicans usually want to do the opposite. Maybe we should use the reverse psychology on them.

  8. I wonder if there is any, even remote, possibility that there still are some Republicans (in office) who are willing to stand up to the klown kar kaucus and start putting country before party affiliation? Your post today is spot on once gain, sweetpea! xoxo

  9. I know it makes men mad with desire when I show a little shoulder--with the exception of Matt Gaetz. He won't look at a girl older than 17. Trump is probably pissed because the RNC stayed at the Waldorf. Maybe he'll find a way to charge their stays to one of his hotels anyway.

    Love,

    2. I didn't think about Thing 45 and his hotels being ignored; of course, many have stripped his name off the building.

      Double loves, love.

  10. The repugs are in for... themselves.
    It's the party of grievance, lies, and fuckery. And grifting. They do not govern, they just repeat memes and talking points ad nauseam.

  12. I cannot believe that North Dakota bill, based on NOTHING. There should be a punishment for wasting everyone's time with meaningless, unnecessary, pointless legislation. (Of course, then there would be a lot of people in trouble.)

    1. The thing that galls me is that NO ONE has posted a picture of a litter box in a bathroom, or a child acting like a "furrie."
      It's just a blatant lie.
