On the off chance ...

... that there are still some elected Republicans out there who were NOT involved in participating in Trump's attempt to overthrow the US government, nor aiding and abetting said attempt by propagating the Big Lie, now is the time to either come clean or lawyer-up.

In case you missed it, the January 6th committee is compiling evidence on a daily basis. Texts are being unearthed, emails are being scrutinized, witnesses to discussions and events are spilling all they know.

Even Ivanka, Jared, and Guilfoyle have spent hours with the Committee - and if you think any of them have somehow outsmarted their interlocutors by not revealing damning information, you're as dumb as they are - and that's pretty fuckin' dumb.

You can rail against the Committee all you want - call it a witch-hunt, label it as a political stunt, dismiss it as a baseless attempt to smear a former "pResident" who remains blameless - despite all evidence to the contrary.

The fact remains that the facts are being uncovered, and they are incontrovertible.

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party." And the only aid Republicans can now render to their ailing party is to admit to their crimes, denounce their loyalty to the self-serving Orange Idiot, and pray that they survive the political tsunami that is about to be unleashed.

In Other Words ...

Beware Republican voters ...

The GOP is banning books - in other words, they are dictating what you read.

The GOP is banning school textbooks - in other words, they're dictating what your children are allowed to learn.

The GOP is banning abortion - in other words, they're dictating how many children you have, and under what circumstances.

The GOP is suppressing access to early voting, voting by mail, et cetera - in other words, they are dictating who can vote, where they can vote, and when they can vote.

The GOP is going after parents who support their children's gender identification - in other words, they are dictating how you raise your own children .

The GOP is openly supporting racism and anti-Semitism - in other words, they are dictating that you be a white Christian in order to be considered acceptable by their party.

The GOP is still promoting the Big Lie - in other words, they are dictating that you must believe that the 2020 election was "stolen" despite no evidence thereof.

There is only one reason the GOP is doing all of the above. It's not because they think Republican voters are stupid enough to follow their dictates without realizing they're being played - it's because they know they are.

I don't expect any Republican voters to recognize the obvious - because if they were capable of doing so, they wouldn't be Republicans.

Hey, here's an idea, Republicans!

Why don't you make life easier for everyone - including yourselves - by just sitting down and shutting the fuck up?

How about minding your own business instead of sticking your collective noses in the business of other people, like the trans woman down the street - or the gay couple on the other side of the country?

Is your life really enhanced by endlessly fretting over who's in the stall next to you when you use a public bathroom? Have you considered taking up a more productive hobby - like attending a night course, or maybe reading a book?

It's said that a change is as good as a rest - so why not start by changing your attitude towards blacks, Asians, immigrants, et al? Why not give yourselves a rest from hating other people? You'll be amazed at how much time it frees-up for other things - like being a productive human being who actually contributes something of value to society as a whole.

And here's a wild and crazy thought you might mull over. Maybe - just maybe - if you stopped aligning yourselves with right-wing whack-jobs who drink their own urine while awaiting the return of JFK Jr., if you stopped believing that Jewish Space Lasers are causing wildfires, if you abandoned the notion that the 2020 election was "stolen" when not a scintilla of proof thereof has emerged in well over a year, intelligent people might stop seeing you as dumbass cultists who will literally believe anything.

Food for thought, Trump-humpers. While you're applauding the rights of people you don't like having their rights being taken away, your rights are being diminished as well.

The problem being that you're just too stupid to recognize the obvious.

Those fuckin' bastards!!!

Can there be any doubt that the biggest threat to US citizens is the Democratic party?

Those fuckers won't be happy until every citizen has access to a good education, affordable healthcare - and the God-damned right to vote!

What kind of so-called "patriots" actually want shit like election integrity, a woman's right to choose, and equality under the law?

What kind of blasphemous heathens support policies that feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and care for the lazy slackers who get sick?

Don't even get me started on demanding that multi-billionaires pay their fair share of taxes. What's the point of making obscene amounts of money if you can't skate on your taxes while the middle-class can simply be made to pay more?

The Constitution? What will become of us as a nation if these outdated scribblings are actually adhered to? Honestly, I don't even want to go there. Next thing you know, these lefty bastards will be promoting the idea that no one is above the law, and inciting an insurrection against our democracy is somehow "illegal".

Talk about taking rights away - what about the right to spread a deadly virus, the right to promote violence and engage in hate crimes, the right to insist that a "pResident" who lost an election be reinstalled as POTUS on the basis of a "fraudulent" election that has never been proven to be fraudulent?

There are no depths these Democrats won't sink to in order to promote gobbedly-gook like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

They MUST be stopped! Our democracy must be saved from these out-of-control lunatics who are dumb enough to believe that corruption in politics isn't what America should be all about.

Watch This Space

It is no coincidence that the GOP's renewed interest in Hunter Biden's alleged financial activities with foreign nations resurfaced just before Jared Kushner's actual financial activities with foreign powers became headline news.

It is also no coincidence that Republicans are suddenly focused on Democrats being involved in pedophilia, 'grooming' of vulnerable children, et cetera.

The Republicans' playbook is always about accusing Democrats of what they know they are about to be accused of.

So watch this space - because IMHO, some major shit is about to hit the fan.

No Compromise

I am continually amused by those who promote "compromise" with Trump-humpers, and Republican voters at large.

How does one compromise with racists? Do we come to some arrangement whereby suppressing access to voting in minority communities is okay 50% of the time?

What about climate change? Do we come to some agreement that ensures internet climate-change deniers equal footing in our political policies with actual scientists who have studied the problem for years - and have the data to back-up their findings?

Covid-19, anyone? Should we compromise by agreeing that those who declared it a "hoax" - or those who pushed animal dewormers and injecting bleach - should be given as much credibility as world-renowned epidemiologists who have devoted their careers to tracking the causes and effects of pandemics?

Do we "compromise" by agreeing that Jewish Space Lasers are responsible for half of the California wildfires, or that half of the people awaiting JFK Jr.'s imminent return from the grave are actually sane?

Compromise with those who disagree with us politically is always an option. Compromising with ill-informed idiots is not.

As much as I hate Republicans ...

... and everything they've done, and everything they stand for, it has never occurred to me to accuse them of running a child sex-trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza place that has no basement.

Signs

Today's Republicans invariably accuse Democrats of doing exactly what they know they are about to be accused of.

The current "pedophilia craze" is a clear sign that some prominent Republicans are about to be outed as sex-trafficking pedophiles.

Matt Gaetz's wingman, Joel Greenberg, has had his sentencing delayed again - because he continues to provide "valuable information".

Watch for it - because nuthin' says nuthin' like Republicans desperately attempting to get in front of what they know is going to destroy them.

You Just Might Be Crazy

If you believe that Trump won the 2020 election despite the fact that not an iota of proof thereof has been unearthed ...

If you believe that a lying, thieving, self-declared "pussy grabber" is a good Christian, chosen by God to lead a nation ...

If you believe that kissing Putin's ass is "putting America first" ...

If you believe that a self-proclaimed multi-billionaire needs your five dollar donation to refurbish his private jet ...

If you believe that the Space Force possesses the evidence that proves the 2020 election was stolen - and just hasn't been bothered to disclose that evidence ...

If you believe that Trump will be "reinstated" as POTUS despite the fact that there is no Constitutional mechanism to do so ...

If you believe that whack-jobs like Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Lauren Boebert actually know what they're talking about ...

If you believe that an obvious coke-head like Don Trump Jr. has anything coherent to say ...

If you believe that your elected Republicans who vote for tax-cuts for the wealthy while voting against lowering life-saving prescription drugs have your best interests at heart ...

If you believe that banning books, and waging war on Disney and Sesame Street characters is what 'Saving America' is all about ...

If you believe that preventing citizens from being able to vote is representative of democracy ...

If you believe that Space Lasers controlled by Jews cause forest fires, or that Democrats eat babies, or that Trump won an election he clearly lost - well, you might just be crazy.

Just sayin' is all.

Where Have All the Christians Gone?

Jesus said we should feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, and treat others as we would wish to be treated ourselves.

If you are a true Christian, i.e. a follower of Christ and his teachings, the policies of the Republican party are completely contrary to everything you espouse to believe in.

The GOP opposes anything-and-everything that Jesus admonished his followers to do. They do everything in their power to dismiss the hungry as lazy parasites looking for a handout, to criminalize homelessness as though not being able to afford shelter is in-and-of-itself a crime, to ensure that healthcare means making a profit from the sick, and treating each other with empathy and compassion as a sign of weakness.

If you are a Christian, you cannot be a Republican. If you support Republicans, you cannot claim to be a Christian.

It's as simple as that. There is no middle ground, there is no wiggle room.

If you are willing to abandon the teachings of The Nazarene in order to adhere to the teachings of The GOP, at least have the courage to say so.

If you have decided that Jesus was some left-wing whack-job who delivered the Sermon on the Mount to a bunch of peace-loving idiots, stand up and say so.

So why not stop pretending you are Christians and instead just openly denounce the words of your alleged Saviour. - as your party of choice has urged you to do.

In other words, spare us all your hypocrisy. It's old, it's obvious, and it's blatantly demonstrative of just how easily-manipulated you are - and being easily-manipulated is exactly why the GOP rightly determined that you were all easy-pickin's when it came to convincing you that when it comes to "Christian voters", Jesus Christ is not only politically irrelevant, he is the poster-boy for everything that is abhorrent to your party-of choice.

There is nothing more pathetic than a so-called "Christian" who aligns himself with the party that has convinced him that the teachings of Christ are nothing more than leftist propaganda meant to undermine democracy.
