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 …

 

The far-right website The Gateway Pundit acknowledged for the first time this week that there was not any fraud during ballot counting in Atlanta in 2020 when The Felon lost the presidency.

The statement came days after the site settled a defamation lawsuit with two local election workers who the site falsely accused of wrongdoing. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly, but the site appears to have removed all mention of the two women.

So, they lied, and now they admit they lied, and are liars who lie because that’s what they do: lie.

Hurricane Milton’s rampage is not swaying House GOP leaders who oppose returning to Washington to approve billions of dollars for disaster assistance because they do not care about the American people.

Athina Lawson, a spokesperson for Christian Nationalist House Speaker Mike Johnson, said:

“To be clear: Congress will act again upon its return in November to address funding needs and ensure those impacted receive the necessary resources.”

Weeks after the hurricane Congress will talk about what to do; weeks after.

The Kremlin confirmed that The Felon, while in office, sent Russian President Vladimir Putin Covid-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic.

Americans were sick and dying and he gave our tests to the Russians?

If you’re still voting for this asshole, I hope you get everything you deserve.

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and now county official Kandiss “Jesus, Guns, Babies” Taylor talking about “weather manipulation”:

“Like the whole thing with North Carolina, I know though it’s a grab for the land—land grab and they want the lithium. But I also believe they don’t want the voters turning out that are all around Asheville. Those Republican, red voters. They are trying their best to keep Mark Robinson from that governorship because he understands—oh, I feel the Holy Spirit—he understands the Constitution.”

Hey Crazy, can I call you Crazy, cuz y’are crazy … the only person hurting Robinson’s campaign is the Black Nazi himself.

The Felon claimed he’s “basically a truthful person” during a podcast interview and that caused the host, Andrew Schulz to burst out laughing.

The Felon claimed Kamala Harris is running ads they’re full of falsehoods about him and says there should be a law against telling lies in campaign ads before adding he doesn’t lob similar attacks at his opponent cause he’s “basically a truthful person.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has doubled down on her allegation that an unspecified “they” can control the weather:

“Yes they can control the weather. Anyone who says they don’t, or makes fun of this, is lying to you. By the way, the people know it and hate all of you who try to cover it up.”

Hey, Large Marge AKA Russian Asset or just Russian Ass, careful what you say because they just might send a tornado through your living room.

After The Felon was asked about the future prospects of Gaza, he said:

“You know, I’ve been there, and it’s rough.”

Funny, though, that there is no evidence of his going to Gaza; he never went as president, and CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post have all found no proof he made a prior visit. Still, his campaign, working overtime to redefine the lies, says that he meant what he said and insisted the claim is true though they refused to say when this happened:

“[The Felon] has been to Gaza previously and has always worked to ensure peace in the Middle East.”

Perhaps Demented DonOLD was confused because his campaign once claimed that Gaza is “in Israel”—it’s not—so he can say that he visited Gaza. And now even that stupid lie isn’t enough.

GOP VP nominee JD Vance AKA Sofa Loren campaigned in Detroit, where he described $500 million that the federal government is providing to convert a General Motors plant in Michigan for electric vehicles as “table scraps” compared with larger job losses he contends could be on the horizon.

Several hundred people attended the event, including more than a dozen who were wearing “auto workers for [The Felon]” shirts but six of the people in the shirts say they were not actually auto workers.

Huh. Lies. Who knew.

Thousands of copies of [The Felon]’s “God Bless the USA” Bible were printed in China, a country he has repeatedly accused of stealing American jobs and engaging in unfair trade practices.

Global trade records show a printing company in China’s eastern city of Hangzhou shipped close to 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States between early February and late March. The estimated value of the three separate shipments was $342,000, or less than $3 per Bible. The Felon is selling those $3 “Bibles” for $59.99.

Grifters gonna grift.

FOX “News” Channel’s Harris Faulkner will present a town hall with The Felon focusing on issues impacting women ahead of the election. The event, which will be held with an audience entirely composed of women, will pre-tape on October 15th and, after heavy editing and reworking of his lies, will air on October 16^th.

One of the issues facing women is that sexual predators, like The Felon, are not being held accountable for their actions, and that their rights to healthcare have been stripped away from them by a man who bragged about doing so.

Back to How Stupid Are They news, The Felon’s campaign is rushing to relabel some of its new “Latter-day Saints for [The Felon]” merchandise—coffee cups and koozies—after it was criticized for not understanding some of the key tenets of the religion.

Most devout LDS Church followers do not consume alcohol, which most koozies are used for, nor drink caffeine.

Seriously.

Four cities and a county have confirmed that they’re still waiting for The Felon’s campaign to pay bills often associated with reimbursements for the costs of local law enforcement and other first responder personnel. The final price tag is more than $750,000 for those five jurisdictions, with some bills dating back eight years.

A Felon campaign official said in a text message that “questions related to local law enforcement and first responder costs should be directed to secret service.”

No, they are the bills to be paid for by a con artist who never pays his bills.

JD Vance AKA Sofa Loren really did not want to answer a New York Times reporter’s question about The Felon losing the 2020 election, refusing to answer it a total of five times. Vance also said that if he’s been Veep in 2020 he would not have certified the election.

This traitorous fascist does not belong anywhere near the Oval Office.

Again with the lies … this time it’s the Scranton Fire Department firefighters’ union who say they had nothing to do with several signs stating “Scranton Firefighters for [The Felon]” held up and displayed by members of the public at a campaign event last week.

Neither the International Association of Fire Fighters union nor its local chapter in Scranton, Local 60, have made an endorsement in the presidential race of either candidate  but that doesn’t stop a Felon and his Lap Dog from pushing the lies forward.

After mocking Vice President Kamala Harris over her teleprompter use, The Felon’s rally in Reno, Nevada, ground to a halt as he was forced to fix his teleprompter on-stage after a campaign sign fell on it.

God heard you DonOLD and She sent that sign crashing down to show the world what a lying POS you are.

Remember when The Felon accused Biden and Harris of withholding hurricane relief from North Carolina?

Well, now he’s threatening to withhold funds from any future California wildfires because he doesn’t like Gavin Newsom or his policies.

Again, and pay attention: EVERY GOP ACCUSATION IS AN ADMISSION.

Vice President Harris released her medical history this week, which said she is in “excellent health” and has the physical and mental resiliency required to be president, if elected in November.

The Felon refuses to release his medical records because he’s a bloated gelatinous mass in diapers.

President Joe Biden said he believes his administration is “breaking through with the truth” when it comes to misinformation lies surrounding the federal response to Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Now, while Biden continued to criticize The Felon, he did say The Felon was “not singularly to blame” but that he did have the “biggest mouth.”

Democrat Representative Ruben Gallego now has a ten-point lead over Republican Kari Lake in the Arizona Senate race. Ninety-five percent of Democrats are in favor of Gallego while 81 percent of GOP members favor Lake. Both candidates received an almost equal share of support from the state’s male voters.

Vote Ruben!

GOP Representative French Hill shut down Fox “News” host Maria Bartiromo’s on-air lie that the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] is “out of money” to handle the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, telling her:

“FEMA is not out of money. Congress is ready to replenish the funding as soon as we get back to Washington. They have the money to take care of Florida, take care of North Carolina, and take care of Georgia.”

Trouble is, Speaker Johnson will not ask Congress to return to work to allocate those funds, so, yes again, it’s the GOP at the root of the problem.

Still, nice of a Republican to stand up to the GOP lies,

And then Florida GOP Representative Carlos Gimenez said that GOP QAnon Loon Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who think like her that humans can control the weather need “to have their head examined.”

Large Marge’s examination would show her head to be completely empty.

Representative Chuck Edwards of North Carolina sent a letter to his constituents debunking the misinformation lies and conspiracy theories that have spread in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, telling them, “Nobody can control the weather.”

Edwards, who represents western North Carolina, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene, urged his constituents not to believe everything they see on social media and noted there’s been an increase in “untrustworthy sources [The GOP] trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts across our mountains.”

“Hurricane Helene was NOT geoengineered by the government to seize and access lithium deposits in Chimney Rock.”

Seriously, only MAGAts are this dumb.

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan hammered The Felon’s National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over his lies about hurricane response and ended the interview by telling Leavitt she never answered her question after “I offered you three times!”

Bolduan then left Leavitt flatfooted when she pointed out The Felon himself diverted FEMA funds to house migrants and after refusing to respond to that three times, Leavitt simply sputtered about Harris “allowing in 20 million illegals.”

He’s crumbling, y’all.

 

Remember, the GOP 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 ...

Carlos and I love to cook, though I will say, having worked in hotels and such, and bars and such, in the past, and knowing some really great chefs, I tend to be the better cook in the house.

Part of Carlos problem is what I call the Coco Chanel problem. As Coco once advised women:

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off. It is always better to be underdressed.”

I had to explain this to Carlos the other night because he made a delicious Salmon for dinner but there was something about the rice:

“What spices are in this?”

“Cumin. Curry. Turmeric, Coriander.”

“Oh.”

“Paprika. Garlic Powder. Salt, Pepper.”

“OH!”

“Chipotle Powder. Chili Powder. Garam Masala. A little bit of Cinnamon. And Five Spice. I think that’s it.”

Carlos is now limited to Five Spices…Salt, Pepper, and three others, lest I sic the ghost of Coco on him.

The Great Tuxedo has had a week. He’s getting on in years—he’s seventeen or eighteen—and has been having some issues with his hind legs being unsteady. A trip to the vet and a few tests and we’ll see if it’s diabetes—not good, because it requires two shots per day—or arthritis—not the best because there is no real treatment for feline arthritis—or a thyroid issue, which can be helped by medication. But other than that he’s in good health and a happy cat, so we’ll see how this plays out.

We first noticed his leg issues because he’s always been a jumper—he used to jump from  the clothes hamper in the closet to one of the high shelf’s, a leap of about six feet straight up, and now he has difficulty getting onto a chair.

Sidenote: he was, as usual, the hit of the vet’s office because he’s just so easy going getting poked and prodded, and still giving hugs to the vet and the technicians. The only downside is the car ride, which he hates, and lets us know by howling like a mad man.

Good times.

San Antonio doesn’t have Thing #45—thanks Todd—to push around anymore.  And you cannot throw things at him either …at least for the time being.

Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks has moved the wax figure of the twice-impeached, one-term loser to a storage—much like what the American people did in November 20202—because some museum visitors were punching and hitting the wax dummy.

Not to be confused with the actual lard dummy.

Dear Jeopardy: Just say No to Katie Couric hosting the show. Just say No to “Dr,” Oz. hosting the show.

Bring back Mike Richards.

After the last two weeks, and two more shootings that left 18 Americans dead, President Biden called to reinstate the US ban on assault weapons.

Biden said he did not “need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future and to urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act. We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

These are not hunting weapons, or protection weapon, these are weapons used to murder. No one, and I don’t care who you are, no one needs these weapons.

Customers at Legends Diner in Denton, Texas are met with a new pink sign on the door when they visit the breakfast spot:

“Our new surcharge: $50 if I have to explain why masks are mandatory. $75 if I have to hear why you disagree.”

Co-owners Wayne and Kat LaCombe are asking their customers and employees to continue to wear masks even though the mandate lifted in Texas on March 10 because, as Wayne says, he cannot afford to get the virus and keep his business going.

See, that’s how it works.

Sorry, but  I'm more afraid of white people with weapons of war than I am of migrants at our border seeking a better life.

Rightwingnut lawyer Sidney Powell, who tried suing to hand the election to Thing #45 and ended up being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for defamation, is now claiming she is not guilty because "reasonable reasonable people wouldn’t have believed" her assertions of fraud, even though she filed case after case with the same idiotic assertion.

Now, she as an attorney, representing her client, says she was just stating her “opinion.”

Nice try, Kraken.

Congressional Democrats and Washington DC's mayor made their case for statehood for the US capital, proclaiming the disenfranchisement of DC residents as one of the last glaring violations of American civil rights.

More than 712,000 people live in the District of Columbia; a populations greater than both Wyoming and Vermont, and comparable to two others. Its residents fight and die in US wars and face a higher federal tax burden than people in the 50 states, but while Washingtonians can cast ballots in presidential elections, they are denied votes in Congress.

Taxation without representation much? The GQP is against the idea because DC is mostly Democrats, and the GQP wants to continue suppressing votes especially given that DC statehood would give Democrats three more  Congressional seats. See, it’s not about doing what’s right for Americans in DC for the GQP, it’s about cheating to win elections.

Last fall the US Congress passed the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act to establish a toll-free number with assistance for those with mental health crises.

Sounds like a good idea, but then why did the US Conference of Catholic Bishops quietly lobby against the legislation.

It's because it contained special funding for LGBTQ+ support, and a group of bishops said that, while “all persons must be protected from violence … codifying the classifications ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’" was problematic.

Cuz, you know, if anyone in the LGBTQ+ community kills themselves that should be okay. Or at least so says a group of closeted homosexual child raping money grabbing hypocritical fuckmonkeys.

I don’t know much about Fredrik Ericsson except that he is Swedish and has a stunning face …

… and he looks good out of his clothes …

… and good in them, too.
