GOP Dumpster Fire: Liars, Racists, DEI Hires and Frauds

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 …

Former U.S. Representative and Liar, Kitara Ravache AKA George Santos, is requesting a partially anonymous jury while federal prosecutors are pushing to admit as evidence some of his past campaign lies in his upcoming fraud trial.

Santos’ lawyers argued that individual jurors’ identities should only be known by the judge, the two sides and their attorneys due to the extraordinary level of media attention around the case and their client because the “risk of public ridicule could influence the individual jurors ability to decide Santos’ case solely on the facts and law as presented in Court.”

At trial prosecutors want to tell the jury about Kitara's lies: including falsely claiming to have graduated from Baruch College; falsely claiming to have graduated from New York University; falsely claiming to have been employed at Citigroup; falsely claiming to have been employed at Goldman Sachs. They said it would “establish the defendant’s state of mind in connection with the charged crimes.”

Sounds fair to me.

Back to banning books in Iowa after the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district judge’s earlier decision that temporarily halted key parts of a law, which the GOP-led Legislature and GOP Governor Kim Reynolds approved in 2023.

The law also forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with younger students.

Books and LGBTQ+ students are bad but hate and ignorance rule in Iowa.

Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee to run K-12 public education in North Carolina, filmed a video after attending the January 6 riots urging The Felon put “the Constitution to the side” and use the military to stay in power.

In a deleted Facebook livestream Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election. Morrow had previously called for the public execution of Barack Obama and the death of Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in comments on a since-deleted X account.

And she has a shot at running schools in North Carolina?

Red States that ban or restrict abortion have flooded anti-abortion counseling centers with nearly $500 million in taxpayer funding since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

When Florida passed its six-week abortion ban last year, it allocated $25 million to crisis pregnancy centers and Tennessee dedicated $20 million to the effort last year, up from just $283,000 in the year prior. But no state has spent more in taxpayer funding than Texas, which accounts for almost half of the total spending. The state agency that oversees the program acknowledged it doesn’t monitor how tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent.

For those unaware, “crisis pregnancy centers” lure women in with deceptive marketing hinting that they provide abortions.

JD “Guyliner” Vance marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, uninvited and planned to give reporters a show as he confronted the vice president but his power play, his little boy ego trip, failed once he learned Harris was not present.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane.”

He still thinks he has a shot? He’s been fvcking too many couches.

The Felon’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung rushed to defend JD for the unsuccessful storming of Air Force 2 by saying:

“Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what [Kamala Harris] and her team have done on there. The smell alone on that plane must be crazy.”

Cheung’s post appears to lean into racial stereotypes but since he works for a racist, he might be a racist.

Karoline Leavitt, on Fox ~~News~~ Entertainment:

“Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her running mate … and her decision not to choose Josh Shapiro. Let’s be honest, she did not choose him because he is a Jewish American and has expressed strong support for Israel in the past … and Kamala Harris continues to cow-toe to the far-left pro-Hamas sympathizers in this great country.”

Clearly, she’s never heard “kowtow” out loud.

That’s Fox, illiterate blond DEI hires.

JD Vance has attacked the military record of Tim Walz during accusing him of “stolen valor” claiming Walz “abandoned” his unit in the National Guard before it was deployed to Iraq.

Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years reaching the rank of commander sergeant major and was deployed to Italy. He decided to leave the National Guard in 2005 to pursue a political career by running for Congress.

Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the Marines, where he worked for the press office.

He was a secretary, and he wants to be second in command to a man who avoided service five times because his feet hurt..

More lies about Tim Walz being spread by the right:

LIE: One claim is that Walz told CNN that he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help people scale the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and illegally enter the U.S.

TRUTH: Posts are misrepresenting a comment Walz made on CNN using a clip from the segment to make it seem as if Walz was advocating for illegal immigration when he was actually discussing how to prevent this from happening.

LIE: Walz changed the Minnesota flag so that it resembles the Somali flag.

TRUTH: Minnesota did unfurl a new state flag and accompanying seal in May and picked one designed by Andrew Prekker as the basis for the flag. Prekker said Walz had nothing to do with the creation of the flag, and Somalia had nothing to do with the flag design.

If you can’t win on truth the cultists resort to the lie.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has ordered hospitals in the state to ask patients about their immigration status in order to ascertain the costs of providing medical care to people living in the U.S. illegally.

It’s fearmongering that Abbott and the GOP are involved in; they off no solutions to the border issue, just razor wire and hate.

Montana Republican Tim Sheehy, running for US Senate, says he started an aerial firefighting business in his barn and built it into a publicly traded company on the front lines of increasingly dangerous wildfires. But reports filed with the SEC tell a different story about Bridger Aerospace.

Bridger is facing a cash crunch so dire that there is “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue” after it $77.4 million last year and $20.1 million in the first three months of 2024.

If that’s what the GOP calls a successful business …

The Felon has announced that he will debate Kamala Harris three times with the first Debate “on Fox News on September 4th, 2024 [and] the second Debate … Fake News ABC, home of George Slopadopoulos … on September 10th, 2024 [and] the third Debate will take place on NBC … on September 25th, 2024.

As of today there’s no evidence that Fox News, NBC, or the Harris campaign have confirmed The Felon’s claim.

I’m sure y’all have heard of the latest attack on Tim Walz by the right, dubbing him “Tampon Tim” in reference to a new state law providing free menstrual products to school students.

The nickname was trending nationally on X, with Chaya Raichik whose scurrilous “Libs of TikTok” account was one of the first to amplify it and it was picked up by former Fox ~~News~~ Entertainment host Megyn She’ll Say Anything If It Gets Her Clicks Kelly endorsed the nickname on X.

Trouble is, shocking, that information is a lie; these free menstrual products are only available for free in unisex bathrooms, girls’ bathrooms, the school nurse or the front office.

When called out for her lies Raichik responded with “there’s no law against lying” but Megyn Kelly, another blond DEI hire, won’t admit she’s a liar.

Asked if Kamala Harris is Black, JD Vance said:

“I believe Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is, but I believe, importantly, that [The Felon] is right that she's a chameleon.”

Doublespeak from the man who says many things and then changes his mind.

And since he can't make up his mind, and since his President is a delusional old man, perhaps it's best that we all ...

Bobservations

Every morning Carlos recounts his dreams to me, and I always turn them into sex dreams just to annoy him. But recently he told me of a dream where a group of young-looking people were examining him in this ultra-modern lab in a room filled with water. And these ‘people’ took Carlos aside and told him of several health issues he had that they could take care of for him. He began to ask questions and suddenly he woke up.

“That was a weird dream.”
“That was no dream, my friend, you were abducted by aliens.”
“What? I was not!”
“You were being examined in a modern lad by a group of ‘young’ people who knew of your every health issue? Oh, you were abducted all right.”
“I was not!”
“But then why are you smiling now? Is it because you were also anally probed?”

And cue silence!

This Tuxedo Memory is from June 2018 and is entitled: ‘Resting Tuxedo Face’

Isn't it perfection? I have never had a cat with a more expressive punim that the Great Tuxedo.

The Felon said he’d never heard of David Duke, and didn't know who the Proud Boys were, and gave us 'Stormy Who?’ And now he says he knows nothing about Project 2025?

Criminal, please.

Marlon Wayans with an early morning message to his haters after receiving tons of backlash for celebrating Pride month in honor of his transgender son, Kai Wayans, and losing almost 10,000 followers from his Instagram following, because of it.

Good on him. That’s parenting; that’s love.

Male Cat to Female Cat:

“Would you care to explain why the hairball you just coughed up doesn't match your coat… or MINE?!”

A solid majority of Americans—six in ten—oppose a federal abortion ban highlighting a politically perilous situation for candidates, AKA Republicans, who oppose abortion rights as the November election draws closer.

Cast a goddamned vote for women!

You know, there’s something to that old saying, ‘It pays to advertise.’ Or maybe it just pays to do as you are told.

Y'all know I don't need any more reasons to Vote Blue, but if you're still on the fence, here are six more reasons.

As the worst of Hurricane Beryl hit the Houston area, flooding much of the city, Texas Governor Greg Abbott celebrated his overseas trip in East Asia.

Yup, first Ted Cruz runs when it gets cold, and now Abbott rolls away when the floods and sizzling heat arrive.
