GOP Dumpster Fire: Take Them At Their Word

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 …


Moments before The Felon took the stage at the National Association of Black Journalists [NABJ] convention Ken Lemon, the organization’s president, was told that The Felon did not want to be fact-checked live and was refusing to go on stage:

“[His team] said, ‘Well, can you not fact check? He’s not going to take the stage if you fact-check.'”

The Q&A was delayed more than an hour before he eventually joined a panel of Black journalists and blamed the delay on audio problems.

Facts are hard when you’re a pathological liar.


George Stephanopoulos abruptly cut off a wild interview with Florida GOP Representative Byron Donalds after the congressman repeatedly dodged a question about The Felon potentially pardoning January 6 rioters who have been convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. They also battled over comments made by The Felon questioning the racial identity of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Donalds denied The Felon ever said he would pardon the insurrectionists, a promise he has made many times, even as last as last week.

It’s like lying is second nature to the GOP.


J.D. Vance has been making headlines for his “rocky rollout” since being named The Felon’s running mate with his extreme, and extremely stupid comments; but now we learn that J.D. has some extreme investments.

He has had a six-figure stake in Rumble, an online video platform that hosts Russian propaganda and to far-right personalities like Stew Peters and Tim Pool. It has also featured explicitly neo-Nazi images and themes like a song touting the “Reich” and calling for Jews to be placed in ovens from a “dissident rapper.”

I imagine J.D. did Nazi this story coming out?


Fox News’ resident Box of Wine, Jeanine Pirro is questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ sobriety since taking office:

“Her past three-and-a-half years in the White House has been a joke. You have to look at this woman and say, you know, ‘Is she sober during the last three-and-a-half years?’”

For someone who, in 2020, seemed to be having so much to drink fun while working from home that she was late to her own show—which ran for fifteen minutes before Pirro appeared—and when she finally did show up, she looked three sheets, or five sheets, to the wind, slurring and stammering, maybe Judge Boxed Wine isn’t the right person to question sobriety in anyone but herself.


In another show of how he prefers Russia over America, The Felon congratulated Vladimir Putin over a prisoner swap that took place this week, saying the Russian strongman had outsmarted U.S. officials as part of the largest such deal since the end of the Cold War.

He said not one word about the Americans coming home because he cares not about them; his only concern is congratulating Putin.


The U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Bernie Moreno took to X last week to claim that because of the Biden administration’s policies, migrants have “destroyed” Ohio communities. But, when asked to name which communities  had been harmed by migration, where the migrants doing the destruction came from, and how the communities had been harmed Moreno couldn’t answer.

Liars can’t answer.


The Felon says President Kamala Harris wouldn’t be able to stand up to world leaders because of her appearance, adding that he didn’t want to spell it out but viewers would know what he meant:

“She’ll be like a play toy … They’re going to walk all over her. And I don’t want to say as to why. But a lot of people understand it.”

No, only racists understand it; it disgusts other people.


J.D. Vance, in another resurfaced interview:

“To be a little stark about this, I think we have to go to war against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country. Not enough people have accepted that if they put their entire life’s meaning into their credential, into where they went to school, into what kind of job they have …”

This is the same guy who stood at a podium and listed off his resume while questioning Kamala’s accomplishments and never once mentioned his children.

J.D. likes rules for everyone else and different rules for himself; typical Republican.


The Felon posted a bonkers conspiracy theory suggesting that the FBI had advance knowledge of—or even ordered—the assassination attempt against him:

 “WHAT DID YOU KNOW AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO ORDERED THE ASSASSINATION OF ]The Felon].”

I still think the call was coming from inside Mar-Illegal … say Melanie’s room?

J.D. Vance, in yet another resurfaced video:

I’ve seen people who become more attached to their communities, to their families, to their country, because they have children … And of course, you talk about going on Twitter … and almost always, the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don’t have kids at all.”

I wonder if J.D. reads The Felon’s Truth Social posts, or Junior or The Dumb One’s twitter rants, or even his own incoherent, hate-filled, sociopathic bull shiz on Twitter.


Daily Wire host Michael Knowles claiming Pete isn’t gay:

“I’ve always taken Pete at his word that he is a homosexual. However, I have some friends including a homosexual friend of mine, Spencer Klavan, who has said for a long time that Pete Buttigieg is not really gay. I’m not saying he’s a straight white guy. I’m saying this is the conspiracy theory. ‘He’s a straight white guy.’ So he’s got this problem. Right? He’s over there at Harvard. He says, ‘Shoot, man. I’m not gonna rise very far in liberal politics if I’m the most evil type of person in the world, a straight white guy. So I need something. I need some struggle.’”

Yes, Pete “turned” gay, met a man, married that man, and then had children with that man, but he’s not gay he just wants to get ahead in politics.

I kinda think Matty wishes he was homosexual.


North Dakota Governor and failed VP candidate—until perhaps The Felon dumps J.D. Weirdo—Doug Burgum claimed that Russia only agreed to a prisoner swap with the United States because they think The Felon is going to win the presidential election in November.

Then why not wait and give the glory to the gelatinous mound of orange flesh? Why give Biden the win?

Because Joe did it, Dougie.


J.D. Vance defended The Felon’s lies about Kamala Harris’ racial identity, saying that it was “totally reasonable” to describe the vice president as someone who “pretends to be somebody different, depending on the audience she’s talking to.”

Vance, who is the father of three biracial children, said The Felon’s comments “don’t give me pause at all.”

J.D. is a racist, a fascist, a moron, a self-loathing hypocrite, a traitor; and fucking weird.


South Carolina’s Supreme Court has approved of death by firing squad. And the Governor, Henry McMaster McDisaster, weighed in on the ruling:

“The Supreme Court has rightfully upheld the rule of law. This decision is another step in ensuring that lawful sentences can be duly enforced and the families and loved ones of the victims receive the closure and justice they have long awaited.”

The state’s highest court upheld the firing squad, electric chair and lethal injection as methods of execution because, in South Carolina, it’s still 1920.


The Felon asked when Kamala “turned Black.”

That’s all; that’s enough.

The man is a racist; those who stand up for him are racists. He’s told us he’ll be a dictator on Day One; he’s told us he’ll punish all his enemies; his people, 144 of them, created Project 2025 so even when he says he knows nothing about it, he’s lying.

He cannot be allowed in the Oval Office ever again … not even as a tourist.

Vote. Vote Blue. Here's Another Slew Of Reasons Why

Happy Halloween! And I'm here to offer the biggest frights of them all: the Midterms. We are just a week away from the election, and I will remind you again of what horrors the GOP will do if we allow them to take power …

Rick Scott, Florida Senator, and Medicare fraudster, claims … wait for it … that Democrats “cut Medicare” by allowing the agency to negotiate for lower drug prices, while Scott proposes allowing Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid to sunset every five years, requiring Congress to reauthorize them; or not if the GOP is in power.

That’s right; if the GOP gets in power again Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid will disappear.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Henry McMaster McDisasterSouth Carolina Republican Governor, is running for a second term and wants to end same-sex marriage in the state if SCOTUS chooses to overturn its 2015 ruling that found a constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry:

“Well, gay marriage is, is, it is in our Constitution, it is not allowed under state law. It is not allowed. I would follow state law whatever the state law is, but I’m, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think in marriage ought to be between a man and a woman. Just like I think that boys ought to play in boys’ sports and girls ought to play in girls’ sports.”

McDisaster wants to end equality for LGBTQ+ citizens, and it won’t end with marriage; he, and his GOP masters, will overturn every single equality law in this state.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Doug  Mastriano, a Pennsylvania GOP state senator running for governor, has centered his campaign to an extraordinary degree on Jhis Democratic opponent, Attorney General Josh Shapiro's Jewish faith.

Mastriano, who promotes Christian power and disdains the separation of church and state, has repeatedly attacked Shapiro for attending and sending his children to what Mastriano calls a “privileged, exclusive, elite” school. It is a Jewish day school, where students are given both secular and religious instruction, but Mastriano’s language portrays it as an elitist … read: woke, liberal … school. And now Mastriano’s wife, Eva Braun, er, Rebecca, says:

“I’m just going to say, as a family, we so much love Israel. In fact, I’m going to say we probably love Israel more than a lot of Jews do … And the reason why I say that is because I’ve given and we’ve given for, I would say, at least ten years to outreach to Israel and Jerusalem. We have, I have visited Israel, we saved for five years. We’re just an average family. We’re not wealthy, wealthy people.”

Am I the only one who thinks that sounds anti-Semitic? She loves Israel more than Jews?

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Don BolducGOP New Hampshire Senate nominee, has once again trotted out the ludicrous lie that kids are dressing as furries in schools:

"We have furries and fuzzies in classrooms. They lick themselves … When they don’t like something, they hiss … And get this, get this. They’re putting litter boxes, right? … [They] let children lick themselves and then touch everything. And they’re starting to lick each other.”

Every school district in New Hampshire has denounced this lie, and there is not one single photo of a furry, photo of a furry using a litter box in a school bathroom, or even photos on litter boxes at all; this is fearmongering at its most ignorant.

Ron DeSantisFlorida Governor, and Fascist, and his administration have steered millions of dollars in state business to two outside law firms with ties to him, including his old employer, according to records reviewed by The Daily Beast.

Republican election law powerhouse Holtzman Vogel PLLC has received more than $4 million in contracts over the last year, mostly tied to voting rights cases, and yet in years before DeSantis took office there were no contracts listed in the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System for Holtzman Vogel.

Holland & Knight had only $2,750 in contracts with the state of Florida, but in 2018, the firm developed “a new revenue stream” to defend “state agencies and DeSantis in lawsuits, sometimes involving controversial legislation” and have been given nearly $3 million between 2018 and 2020.

Ron Johnsontinfoil hat wearing QAnon lapdog and Wisconsin Senator, recommends early voting only if you have a Republican county clerk running the elections, casting doubt on Milwaukee County’s Democratic clerk.

Johnson failed to mention his involvement with the plot to deliver a fake list of electors to then-Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Tudor DixonMichigan gubernatorial nominee, says Democrats have been plotting to overthrow this country for decades because they lost the Civil War and they want they slaves back.

“Do you think that the Democrats are over losing to the north? Democrat leaders, meanwhile, they sat back in their designer suits, eating their fillet with their nice béarnaise sauce while they watched the country rip itself apart because they were getting it all back, the slaves again. This time they’d be people of all colors—poor and broken—looking to them and begging for help. And they will gladly own you. Next they’ll take your guns, your speech and your God.”

Amazing that this is her platform and no one in the GOP has spoken out against it. But what do you expect from a party that pouts up a Baby Killer in Georgia.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Ronna McDanielGOP National Committee Chairwoman, mocked the speaking abilities of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate who is recovering from a stroke, and President Biden, who grew up with a stutter.

“I think all the candidates got together and said, ‘Which one of us has to campaign with Biden?’ [Fetterman] drew the short straw. So Biden said, ‘Between the two of us, we may be able to finish a full sentence.’”

That’s the GOP, making fun of people’s speech issues. Imagine her saying that to a child who stutters, or an older American who suffered a stroke.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!


Paul Gosar,  the right-wing white supremacist and Arizona GOP Representative, who is loathed by his own siblings for his reprehensible actions, is seen on video expressing his approval for two people pretending to be migrant hunters who told him they shoot migrants who cross over to their family farm in Yuma:

“Say a prayer because this country needs you. There’s a bunch of people that are ready to go into action.”

Gosar approves of murdering immigrants.

CAST A GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE!

Wake up, people, and tell all your friends, and your co-workers and neighbors who have yet to vote that the GOP will end choice for women, end contraception for women’ they will end Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security for all of us; end same sex marriage; end LGBTQ+ equality; they will put in office people who believe in furries, who believe Democrats want to go back to slavery, who are anti-Semitic, who believe in murdering migrants; who laugh at disability and health conditions; who get into office and then begin awarding huge sums of money to former employers; who think only the GOP should handle elections.

If you don’t vote, that’s what America will look like and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. We blew it in 2016 when we thought Hillary might win and so we stayed home cuz we didn’t much care for her and look what happened. But in 2020 we came out strong and send Thing 45 scurrying to Mar-a-Lago and took the House and Senate. We need to keep that momentum going, we need to make sure America doesn’t become a cesspool of fascists and dictators and racists in power,

I Didn't Say It ...


Russell Walker, the GOP nominee for North Carolina District 48, is a proud racist because, well, God:

What is wrong with being a white supremacist? God is a racist and a white supremacist. Someone or group has to be supreme and that group is the whites of the world … there is no such thing as equality. Someone or something has to be superior and someone and something has to be inferior.”

Today’s GOP, thanks to _____.
Rick Davis, the national campaign manager for John McCain’s 2008 and 2000 presidential campaigns, read a letter described as McCain’s final words:

“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe … We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been … Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.”

Truer words were never spoken… RIP, sir.
Grant Stinchfield, NRA TV host, on arming teachers:

“Texas is asking to spend federal Department of Education grant money to buy firearms for teachers that have gone through the state’s school marshal program. Teachers trained to carry firearms in school, in firearms, and the state needs permission to use federal money to do that. As you can imagine, the left is melting down. I would argue of all the things schools use federal grant money for, this may be the most legitimate. It falls into the core functions of the federal government, provide for the safety and security of its citizens. In fact, using federal tax dollars to buy guns for teachers is more in the boundaries of what the federal money should be used for than even textbooks or after-school programs. Guns in the hands of good guys has a direct impact on our safety, a core function of government.”

Yes, he says guns for teachers serve a better purpose than textbooks for students which proves that Grant Stinchfield never learned a single thing in school and is a moron to this day.
Oh, and he can f**k off.
Henry McMaster, South Carolina’s asshat GOP governor, calling Democrats “dogs” and lubing himself up for _____:

“Now, [Democrats will] come up and talk to you, and they seem so nice. They seem reasonable. But, then you remember they’re in the same league as Nancy Pelosi. Our Democratic friends are a lot like dogs. One on one, they’re really nice, but in a pack they’re dangerous. So I tell you, we can’t let up. We got to go hard. And in South Carolina we are making progress, and it’s because we have a president, Donald ____, who is one of the greatest we have ever had or ever will have.”

I’m surprised he then didn’t bend over and let a _____ blowup doll f**k him.
Seriously, South Carolina Democrats, let’s boot this tool.
Ron DeSantis, GOP candidate for governor of Florida, proving he’s a_____ supporter, when speaking about his opponent, Andrew Gillum, a black man:

“The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state, That’s not going to work, that’s not going to be good for Florida.”

DeSantis has ‘clarified’ his remarks meaning he’s backpedaling, but also of note, he also said Gillum was an ‘articulate’ man … as if it’s some surprise that a black man could be articulate.
But it is a surprise, to a racist.
Do better Florida.
Andrew Gillum, responding to DeSantis’ remarks:
“It’s very clear that Mr. DeSantis is taking a page directly from the campaign manual of Donald _____, but I think he has got another thing coming to him if he thinks that in today’s day and age Florida voters are going to respond to that level of derision and division, they are sick of it. In the handbook of Donald Trump, they no longer do whistle calls. They are now using full bull horns.”
When Fox News host Shepard Smith asked if the comment was “racist” or a “figment of speech” Gillum said he did not believe the remark was not a mere accident.
It wasn’t, because had Gillum been a white man DeSantis never, never, would have used the word ‘monkey.’
And we all know it.
PS In the 24 hours after DeSantis' remarks, the Gillum campaign took in over $1 million and Ron DeSantis was outed as a moderator of a white supremacist Facebook page.
Kanye West, finally answering a question Jimmy Kimmel asked him a month ago, about _____ liking black people:

“I feel that he cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs. He’s got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can’t be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community. So it’s something that he’s gonna work towards, but we’re gonna have to speak to him.”

It took him a month to come up with this nonsense?
Someone needs to check himself back into the hospital because the only person that could make sense of this illiterate gibberish would be Kanye’s media whore  wife or his media whore in-laws.

Bobservations

This past Monday evening, as I was picking Carlos up from work, I said:
“I’m gonna take tomorrow off and finish priming the bedroom.”
I have some personal days and thought I’d use one. Carlos said fine, mainly because we are tired of sleeping in a queen-sized bed with three cats. That next day, I drove him to work, went home and began painting. Around noon, the phone rings and it’s Carlos:
“I called work and they said you didn’t come in.”
I replied:
“I told you I was taking the day off to paint.”
“But you said ‘tomorrow,’ so I thought you meant Wednesday.”
“Honeybunch? When a person says ‘tomorrow’ on Monday, they mean Tuesday, because on Monday Wednesday is the day after tomorrow.”
Lord, that man.

Sidenote: when Carlos called me at work that Tuesday, my boss thought I hadn’t told Carlos I was taking the day off, and didn’t want to get me into any trouble, or insert himself into what he thought might be a fight, and so he told Carlos I was ‘indisposed.

After Ben Carson tried to buy a dining table for $31,000, we found out that the Interior Department spent nearly $139,000 on a work order labeled as “Secretary’s Door.” The project was carried out by a Maryland company called Conquest Solutions … the only company to bid on the job … that specializes in building automation systems, like costly doors.

Now comes the part that’s hard to believe, I mean, if you believe a door can cost $139,000; a spokes-idiot for Interior Department Secretary Ryan Zinke claims the cost of the doors was news to her, and that the work was requested by career staffers as part of a building modernization effort; she claimed that historic preservation requirements and new locks raised the cost.

Uh huh; so, you do know the cost, or you don’t know the cost? And if this is part of an historic restoration, how does an automatic door fit into that.

Let’s have Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff have the last word on the matter:
"What a waste. Just think how many dining sets you could have bought or private jets you could have chartered with that money."
The grifters are running the government, people. Get out; resist; vote.
After allegedly threatening to take his life last month over allegations that he raped two underage boys, Ronnie Gorton, a married father and pastor of The Awakening Church in Tennessee, was indicted on 47 counts of illegal relations with three underage boys including five counts of aggravated sexual battery, 17 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure, two counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child, 16 counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, two counts of exploitation of a minor by electronic means, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, two counts of purchasing alcohol for a child, and one count of rape.

Yup, the pastor f**ks children.  Just sayin’.
In Bye Felicia News … Victoria Miller and her three daughters, the Christian owners of W.W. Bridal Boutique in Pennsylvania have decided to close their business due to fears that impending ordinance would require their public business serve all the public and stop denying service to lesbian couples:
 “The members of our town council have made it known they will pass an ordinance soon. We have chosen to close rather than be forced to go against our faith.”
Um, Victoria, you can still practice your Bigotry and Hate Faith, you just can’t use it to deny services to people.M’kay?
Look! A grifter! It looks like _____ isn’t the only _____ with potential conflicts of interest in the White House.

Ivanka “Complicit” _____, an ALLEGED senior White House adviser will pull in more than $1 million a year from the family business that has continued to develop luxury resorts across the globe during the ______ sham presidency.

And, some of those _____-branded developments are hiring state-owned companies for construction, receiving gifts from foreign governments in the form of public land or eased regulations and accepting payments from customers who are foreign officials.

Yes, she’s a thief and lair and grifter and con artist, just like her husband and her daddy.
Meanwhile, Back at Ben Carson’s $31, 000 dining table for his office.

When the story broke, Carson and his staff claimed they had no knowledge of the cost of the table, but since they all work for _____, we now know that was a lie.

Newly released emails show Carson and his wife selected the furniture themselves. The email, with the subject line “Secretary’s dining room set needed,” sent to Carson’s assistant refers to “printouts of the furniture the Secretary and Mrs. Carson picked out.”

The Secretary picked out.

Yup, it’s a swampy slime-fest in DC, thanks to _____ and his ilk.
Dennis Alexander is a teacher and a reserve police officer.

Dennis Alexander was teaching a course about gun safety for his Administration of Justice class.

Dennis Alexander accidentally fired that gun inside the classroom injuring three students.

But, by all means, arm teachers. What could possibly go wrong?
The NRA proved once again what a disgusting group of terrorists they are, and in doing so are practically guaranteeing that millions of teenagers, who will be old enough to vote for the first time in November, will be Democrats.

In an effort to counter calls for new gun control legislation on Wednesday, the same day that thousands of students across the country, and the world, walked out of schools to protest gun violence, the NRA tweeted a picture that image depicting an AR-15 style rifle, the same gun used in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, with the caption, “I’ll control my own guns, thank you.”


Vile. Mocking students who watched as classmates were slaughtered by the very same kind of weapon they want everyone to own.

I hope these students keep marching and talking and protesting and voting. I’ll be doing the same right alongside them.
South Carolina’s GOP Governor, Henry McMaster, who just yesterday called the student walkout “disgraceful”, proved how disgusting a man he is by issuing an executive order Tuesday that allows foster care providers to discriminate based on religion without losing their license.

For decades, the Greenville-based Miracle Hill Ministries has only allowed foster children to be placed with parents who share the organization’s Christian beliefs. That practice came under fire when a new regulation took effect thanks to My President, Barack Obama, that prevented publicly licensed and funded foster care agencies from servicing specific religions.

But McMaster is all about discrimination. Luckily, he’s up for reelection and I’m hoping the people of South Carolina put an end to his career.
Palate Cleanser… this week on Homeland, Carrie enlisted a team to help her get information out of a suspect, and, well, if I was ever going to get roughed up for information, these three sides of beef could dot …just saying.

Clockwise, from the top, Hot Ginger William Popp, Beefcake Clé Bennett and snarky James D'Arcy.

Interrogate me, boys!
