Really? Really.

Sometimes things make you wonder what in the actual hell are some people thinking, and doing, and saying …

Out there in Washington, despite having disavowed White nationalism last spring when one of its adherents endorsed him, Republican Joe Kent, a US House candidate decided it would be smart to give an interview to a Nazi sympathizer and White nationalist in which he touted his support for far-right figures like Anti-Semite Marjorie Taylor Green and White Supremacist supporter Paul Gosar and praised MAGAt policies.

Okay, people in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, take him at his word: he supports Nazis, White Supremacists and Anti-Semites; is that who you want in your state Congress?

QAnon nutbag DeAnna Lorraine also spoke with a Christian nationalist—I call them Nationalist Christians because then you can call them what they really are: Nat C’s—Laura Witzke and said this:

“We understand that the deep state, they have weather manipulation technology. They have DARPA [Defense Advanced research Projects Agency]. They know how to manipulate and create big storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, climate change, etc. And these huge hurricanes always seem to target red states, red districts. And always at a convenient time, right before elections or in this case possibly because Ron DeSantis has been stepping out a line a lot and challenging, fighting the deep state.”

Yes, the Democrats and the deep state are so powerful that they can send hurricanes to Florida because they don’t like Ron DeSantis; except we all know DeSantis is fucking Florida all on his own.

In Congress twelve GOP senators, most of whom are on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray to justify the show of force that accompanied the arrest of Mark Houck.

Houck, president of The King’s Men, a Catholic ministry created to “unite and build up" men, has twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort.

Houck is said to be pro-life except when he is shoving women’s rights advocates to the ground, and the GOP doesn’t think he deserved to be arrested because it happened in front of his children.

Maybe he shouldn’t have assaulted anyone, eh?

In Colorado, the GOP candidate for governor, Heidi Ganahl, is trotting out the Furries Conspiracy again, saying students in Colorado schools are self-identifying as animals:

“Not many people know that we have furries in Colorado schools…kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it’s happening all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it. It’s insane.”

Except for the fact that one school district she called out, Jeffco Public Schools, released a statement:

“There is absolutely no truth to this claim. There are no litter boxes in our buildings and students are not allowed to come to school in costume. There are no furries or students identifying as such during the school day.”

But hey, if it gets you elected the GOP will try anything.

Down in Florida, GOP Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott sent a joint letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee chairs to secure funding “provide much needed assistance to Florida” in the wake of Hurricane Ian. Good, except that when the bill was voted on, Rick Scott voted 'No' and Little Marco didn't even show up to vote.

Meanwhile, in the House the vote to offer assistance was approved by a vote of 230 to 201, with Republicans overwhelmingly opposing the measure; and every single Florida Republican House member voted against it.

The GOP in Congress doesn’t even care about their own constituents in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane.

And, then again in Florida, a second-grader was expelled from Victory Christian Academy, a Christian day school, because her parents refused to take a picture of her in a bathtub.

School officials at Victory Christian Academy told the girl’s parents that the picture was part of a homework assignment that included instructions to “send picture of you doing reading homework in bathtub,” and since they didn’t comply. the child would be subject to “an administration withdraw.”

Let that sink in, a Christian wants parents to take a photo of their child in a bathtub and send it to the school … for what? I mean, I keep reading about these pastors and ministers and reverends and priests molesting children and now this school wants bath time photos.

Who’s doing the grooming?

After news reports exposed the bathtub homework and fallout, Victory Christian removed the assignment from the school’s second grade curriculum.

Go figure.

Really Monday

Really, Arizona? Really?

Arizona Republican Repugnant Representative Debbie Lesko wants y’all to know that she’d do anything to protect her grandchildren, including shooting all five of them.

In early June, as the House debated measures that would become the most significant gun legislation in decades, Lesko took to the microphone to deliver her impassioned argument against red flag laws:

“I have five grandchildren. I would do anything—anything—to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren.”

Careful kids, Grandma’s got a gun and will shoot you dead to, um, keep you safe?

Seriously, Cast a GODDAMNED Blue Vote!

Really, Michigan? Really?

Before becoming the Thing 45-backed GOP nominee for Michigan Secretary of State, Kristina Karamo said that abortion is “child sacrifice” and a “satanic practice”:

“Abortion is really nothing new. The child sacrifice is a very satanic practice, and that’s precisely what abortion is. And we need to see it as such.”

Karamo went on to say that demonic possession is real and can be transmitted through “intimate relationships.” She also appeared at several QAnon events and declared that Beyonce, Cardi B, and Ariana Grande are pagan witches and “tools of Lucifer.” She also believes that yoga is a “demonic practice” and that its poses are meant to summon Satan.

And she’s running for public office.

Seriously, Cast a GODDAMNED Blue Vote!

Really Herschel Walker? Really?

Goddess, I just adore Herschel Walker. He’s the gift that keeps on giving, every single time he opens his illiterate lying Republican yap.

The other day Herschel went after Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor … what was he thinking! … because she had said:

“I am tired of hearing about [Georgia] being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live.”

Abrams was specifically talking about Georgia’s problems with mental health treatment, maternal mortality, incarceration rates and wages, but Herschel heard none of that and decided to release a statement:

“If you don’t believe in the country, leave and go somewhere else. If it’s the worst state, why are you here? Why don’t you leave—go to another? There’s, what, 51 more other states that you can go to?”

I guess when Stacey was listing the ills of Georgia she might have mentioned education because the guy running for Senate doesn’t know how many states there are in America.

And then there was the following week, when Herschel was talking about Jesus, and found a way to compare himself to Jesus because they both … wait for it … it’s epic … suffer from multiple personality disorder:

“I tell them all the time. I say, dude, I tell them. Do our lord Jesus Christ have a mental illness because he said he’s the father, the son and the Holy Spirit? To me, those are three different personalities. So we’re not so much different than he is.”

Walker, in his 2008 memoir, Breaking Free, said he suffers from multiple personality disorder.

So vote for him Georgia, because if he wins, you’ll get a lying hypocritical pig as Senator, and all those other personalities he has to offer.

Like Jesus. Really.
