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 Felon, drawing howls of laughter and cheers from hundreds of cultists at a rally in Wisconsin calling Kamala Harris ‘mentally disabled.’

I wonder what it says bout him since this ALLEGED mentally disabled person kicked his ass in the debate so badly that he won’t even try it again.

At a recent campaign stop in the suburbs of St. Louis, reporters asked GOP Senator and January 6th Winner of the Chicken Run, Josh Hawley to list his top three accomplishments that make him worthy of re-election and he said:

“We got new housing for our soldiers in Fort Leonard Wood.”

Fact: Joshie did not secure the Fort Leonard Wood funding. In fact, he voted against military construction budgets multiple times.

The money came from President Biden.

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction, says he is very close to his goal of putting a Bible in “every school” to both combat “woke” curricula in today’s textbooks and ensure students have access to an incredible “historical document” groom children.

He is spending wasting $6 million dollars that could be better spent in any number of other, better ways.

JD Vance, AKA Sofa Loren, told a gaggle of flowers that he wished “the American media was half as interested in the stress on the local schools, the stress on the hospitals, and unaffordable housing as they are in debunking a story lie that he started about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats.

Then came the admission that he is a liar:

“Did you ever think about listening to people speak their truth instead of listening to some bureaucrat and assuming that everything they tell you is true?”

Sorry, couchfvcker, we don’t believe a word you say.

During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s cross-country circus, has-been TV actress Roseanne Barr insisted that “they”—as always, it’s never quite clear who “they” are, but one assumes given the context she means Democrats—“eat babies,” and “love the taste of human flesh, and they drink human blood” and then added:

“That is not bullshit! It’s true!”

Carlson, who really does know better, treated the insane comments as valid because he still has Fox Lies on the brain.

Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, The Felon—polling worse among female voters than Kamala Harris—specifically addressed women during his remarks:

“I always thought women liked me. I never thought I had a problem. But the fake news keeps saying women don’t like me—I don’t believe it.”

He then said women are poorer, less healthy, and “more stressed and depressed and unhappy” than they were four years ago. Oh, and he forgot to mention that they also no longer have the right to make their own healthcare choices cuz he did that, and he’s proud of it.

Florida school districts have been told that they cannot teach teenagers about contraception, show them pictures depicting human reproductive anatomy or discuss topics such as sexual consent and domestic violence.

And now, Orange County Public Schools will scrap its own high school sex education plans and instead use a state-approved textbook that focuses on abstinence.

Seriously.

Lindsey Graham, licking The Felon’s ass again, claiming he “didn’t do anything with Mark Robinson.”

Well, he didn’t do anything other than praise Robinson many times, even calling him a better man than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and appear at rallies with him.

Oh Miss Lindsey.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is claiming the Democratic Party spent “tens of millions of dollars to defame” him.

This from a man who collects roadkill, chainsaws whale heads and ties them to the roof of his car, leaves dead bear cubs in Central Park, denies that he barbecued and ate a dog, confessed to having a brain worm, admitted to dozens of adulterous affairs, and claims that all vaccines are “inherently dangerous.”

Yeah, the Democrats make you look crazy.

The campaign of Republican Derrick Anderson, a former Army Green Beret who is running in a competitive race for an open seat in Virginia’s Seventh District, has posted footage of him posing with his wife and three daughters in what looks like a photo for a holiday card. In another photo, filmed for potential use in a campaign ad, Anderson is seated around the dining room table with the same woman and three girls, chatting and smiling.

Truth is the woman is not his wife, the girls are not his  daughters; they are the wife and children of a longtime friend. Anderson, who announced this month that he was engaged, does not have any children of his own.

So, he lies …

I know you may have heard this, but it bears repeating: this past week JD Vance, AKA Sofa Loren, went into a grocery store, held up a carton of eggs and told us all that a dozen eggs costs $4.00 now, thanks to Joe and Kamala … and not to the greed of corporations.

Funny, though, that JD’s team didn’t check the sign behind him that said a dozen eggs was $2.99 and didn’t point out to him that he was holding two dozen eggs not one dozen.

Perhaps if Vance has spent less time have carnal relations with the furniture he might have paid better attention in math class.

Georgia GOP Governor Brian Kemp will no longer back North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark “Black Nazi” Robinson after the Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained photos of a Robinson fundraiser that Kemp attended. Kemp’s spokesman Cody Hall now says:

“The governor attended the fundraiser as Vice Chair of the Republican Governors Association and will not be offering further support to the Robinson campaign.”

Some North Carolina Republicans, however, are stupid and sticking with Robinson, like GOP Senator Ted Budd who, though he called the allegations “very disturbing,” says:

“I’m going to always vote for Republicans because we have the best platform.”

The Black Nazi Platform?

After the National Fraternal Order of Police backed a felon for president, Police Leaders for Community Safety leaders have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.

Police Leaders for Community Safety was created in 2024 as a non-partisan 501(c)4, and describes itself as an organization that represents dozens of police officials; members of the group’s leadership include David Mahoney, retired Dane County, Wisconsin sheriff and past president of the National Sheriffs’ Association, and Cynthia Herriott, former chief of the Rochester Police Department.

Mike McDonnell, a Nebraska Republican state lawmaker, says he remains opposed to switching how the state allocates its electoral votes, a blow to The Felon and his allies, who are seeking the change in a bid for an extra electoral vote this fall. McDonnell said:

“After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change.”

State lawmakers told the Nebraska Examiner last week that they estimated that the change had the support of 30 or 31 state senators, meaning they remained two to three votes short and Mike McDonnell is one of those two votes.

Country over party, Mike; thank you.

Three more Republicans are crossing the aisle to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House.

Former Kansas Senator Nancy Kassebaum, former Kansas state senator and Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, and Deanell Reece Tacha, a retired federal judge, condemned the current state of the GOP in a statement shared with Fox News Digital:

“This election presents a stark choice that is not easy for any of us. The Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Bob Dole, Frank Carlson, Jan Meyers, and generations of Kansas leaders does not exist within the current Republican Party.”

Keep note that other than Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. there aren’t Democrats coming out for The Felon.

Down in Texas, a federal judge just struck down a provision of sweeping anti-voter law S.B. 1 that restricted crucial get-out-the-vote efforts in that state.

This is a win for voting rights in Texas, and for the organizations that help keep elections accessible.

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 ...

Why Is It ...

… that most of you don’t know that I was away from the blogopsphere most all day yesterday because that damned Hurricane Helene knocked our power out for nearly fourteen hours; but we’re all good now!

… that most days I wake up and spin the Wheel of Attitude and it almost always lands on bitch.

… that once I uttered the phrase, ‘Man, this escape room is hard,’ and my boss said, ‘You’re at work.’

… that I’ve discovered I am at that age where I’m old to young people and young to old people.

… that my mind is like a steel trap that is rusted shut and being pulled around by a possum drunk on fermented apples.

… that once I touch my bed, chances are 90% that all my plans are cancelled.

… that at my age y’all need to stop asking me my likes and dislikes. I like money and food and I dislike not having money and food. Please don’t stress me out.

… that I identify as danger and my pronouns are try/me.

… that people don’t see that I don’t make mistakes, but instead create unexpected outcomes.

… that since our time on Earth is limited we should not be “aging with grace,” but age with mischief, audacity and a good story to tell.

I Didn't Say It ...

Lady Gaga, on why she chose not to speak out against the rumors that she was transgender:

"When I was in my early 20s, there was a rumor that I was a man. I went all over the world. I traveled for tours and for promoting my records, and almost every interview I sat in, they said … there was this imagery on the internet that had been doctored … the reason why I didn't answer the question is because I didn't feel like a victim with that lie. I thought: What about a kid who is being accused of that would think about a public figure like me feeling shame? In that case, I tried to be thought-provoking and ... I tried to use the misinformation to create a disruptive point." 

It goes back to being called gay and thinking it an insult … it’s not, and to think of it that way is to feed into the homophobia.

Gaga did that same thing for transphobia; it’s not a horrible thing, it’s just a ‘thing.’

Markwayne Mullin, GOP senator from Oklahoma, on if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

“It’s hard to say what you’re going to do or what you’re not, because my job is to make sure that irregularities are within the standard that the federal government puts out in place, which is us. The federal government sets irregularities as to how far those can go. So is it going to be less than 1% or is that less than a half percent? Whatever those regularities are, we’ll take that case at a time.”

That’s a word salad saying, ‘I will do what’s best for the GOP taking control and mask it as patriotism because I’m a fucking traitor.’

Janet Jackson, proving money and success doesn’t make you intelligent, speaking on Kamala Harris’ race:

“She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian. Her father’s white. I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Harris’ father is Jamaican while her mother is Indian, but far be it from Janet to investigate the story  herself and just take what she ‘heard’ as fact.

PS A spokesperson for Jackson says the comments were “based on misinformation” and “she deeply respects Vice President Kamala Harris and her accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman … Janet apologizes for any confusion caused and acknowledges the importance of accurate representation in public discourse. We appreciate the opportunity to address this and will remain committed to promoting unity.”

PSS Now reps for Jackson say the "apology” for the singer’s ill-informed comments was made by a person who is not the singer’s manager, as he had claimed, and thus was not authorized to speak on her behalf.

So, Janet is still an idiot? Okay. Maybe she needs to exert some Control over what she hears and what she says and what people say for her.

Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin GOP Representative, admitting that he had no evidence of his claims of voting fraud regarding federal elections:

“Well, obviously, it would take, you know, 10,000 inaccurate ballots or 20,000 ballots to turn things around ]and] no, we don’t have evidence of that. But who knows? If you find a little bit of cheating, who knows if you had the time and resources to look around for more. Who knows what you’d find.”

You’ve had years asshat; years!!! And you’ve found nothing and yet you’ve wasted and continue to waste taxpayer money to appease a rapist racist traitorous con artist grifter because your entire party is spineless.

Miranda Devine, Fox contributor, lying … because it’s Fox:

“These people have pulled out no stops, all stops, to portray January 6, 2021, the riot at the Capitol, as being the worst terrorist attacks since Pearl Harbor, worse than 9/11. This was completely ignoring the BLM Antifa violence that terrorized American citizens for months in 2020 and, you know, as opposed to what was really just an inconvenience for some members of Congress for a few hours at their workplace. But they have not stopped and what [White House press secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre and all of those, that montage of talking heads you just played, what they show is that they are going to double down and in Orwellian fashion they are blaming the victim, [The Felon], for instigating the violence that they have instigated.”

Hey Miranda, how would you feel if a bunch of people carrying flag poles as weapons broke through the windows of your house, stole your personal property including private papers and computers, shit on your walls and threatened your life?

Would it be just an inconvenience, you Low IQAnon fool?

Tracee Ellis Ross, on those so-called “childless women”:

"As a 51-year-old childless woman, I wanna say to the people who think a woman's worth is measured in her baby count—I mean, shoutout to all the amazing mothers—but childless women have been mothering the world and elevating culture as aunties, godmothers, teachers, mentors, sisters, and friends … the list goes on. You do not have to push out a baby to help push humanity forward.”

Miss Ross is brilliant and thoughtful and spot on.

Women have been caring for all of us forever, and without women, we, none of us, would be here.

Y’all know I’m a sucker for Dexter; I watched the first series—and it’s rerunning on Showtime as we speak and I’m watching it again—and I watched the actual series finale last year. But now I am hearing that a 10-episode all new original drama series, Dexter Original Sin, set in 1991 Miami will start this Fall. I cannot wait, but Carlos, on the other hand, said this to me:

“Should I be worried again about your obsession with Dexter?”

“Only if you see my buying heavy duty industrial strength plastic sheeting by the thousand-yard rolls and giant garbage bags.”

Just sayin’.

This Tuxedo memory is from November 2019 and is another episode of ‘Tuxedo Went To The Vet.’

'As I said last week, Tuxedo went to the vets about him licking the fur off his front leg. He was given some medication, and some wipes to clean the area. The wipes were easy, but the medication had to be given through a dropper orally, which meant holding Tuxedo down and shoving the dropper in his mouth and giving him the medication.

So, twice a day I would take a towel and wrap it around Tuxedo, exposing just his head and keeping his paws from grabbing at me, and then Carlos would force the medication into his mouth. After the first dose, as soon as he saw the towel, Tuxedo knew what was coming; he didn’t run, but he wrapped his front paws around my neck and tried to climb me to get away. It was quite the struggle, but we finished his round of antibiotics the other day.

And I will give Tuxedo props for not holding a grudge; as soon as he had the meds, he got a treat, and then would crawl into my lap and go to sleep.

He really is a good boy … and thrilled to be “off the dropper.’

Man, that was a chore; that was one strong cat.

Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, has accelerated his preparations for his debate with admitted lair and couchfvcker,  JD Vance, by holding in policy sessions and mock debates in his home state and on the road.

Walz’s team has enlisted Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to play Vance in debate rehearsals; my question is: how did Pete dumb himself down, and fill his head full of nonsensical rants, to play JD?

This is how my mind works: what if umbrellas were meant to be called brellas but the person who invented them hesitated?

Tennis legend Billie Jean King will make history this month as the first solo female athlete awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

Brava, Billie!

Corey DeAngelis, a conservative education reform advocate who has espoused anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments has, er had, a secret career in gay adult films.

Why is it that the most viral and vocal homophobes are the ones shaking their dicks in gay porn?

Corey??? Corey????

Well, the end is near … after eight months my father’s estate will be closing in a couple of weeks and everything will be settled.

A few hiccups along the way—the first attorney passed away as we began the process—but everything seems set to finalize.

I will probably head back to Oregon to close a few things out and transfer some things to my brother—he and my sister-in-law will be taking Dad’s house—and then ::: big sigh :::

I still miss my dad something fierce; with all that’s going on in this country right now, he and I would have, could have, should have, had some great conversations. I still have them, but they play mostly in my head.

That’s the way of the world, I guess.

The other day at work, one of our interns was telling a story about a former co-worker who’d had testicular cancer and everyone started calling him No Nuts. And because I cannot help myself, I said:

“I worked at a place where we had a guy called No Nuts.”

“Did he have testicular cancer, too?”

“No. He only had one eye. But he was a ball-less little dick.”

I have an appointment at HR again next week.
