There's always a bigger Republican a**hole

The only certainty in this right wing dystopia we call America is that the Republican party has an unlimited supply of cruel, power hungry and greedy individuals ready and willing to run for office. And if you vote one horrible GOP politician out of office another one will quickly take their place.

We voted Trump out of office. So the worst was behind us, right? Not so fast. In steps Governor Ron DeSantis, who hopes to bully his way into the oval office by being an even bigger demagogue than Trump.

Here in my home state of Kentucky we were able to vote Governor Matt Bevin from office. He was one of the worst Governors in Kentucky history. A cruel, arrogant, ultra wealthy theocrat who like his idol Trump, is actually threatening to run again next year. And even if he doesn't, Kentucky has plenty of a**holes to fill in for him.

Our Attorney General Daniel Cameron just announced he's running to replace our current Democratic Governor Andy Beshear next year. Cameron's claim to fame is being a Mitch McConnell protege, speaking at Trump's RNC, signing on to the Texas AG's lawsuit to overturn the election and failing to properly prosecute the Breonna Taylor case. The guy is inexperienced, cruel, litigious and basically does whatever Mitch tells him to do. He's done nothing in 3 years as Attorney General except sue our Governor over Covid restrictions and try to permanently ban abortion access.

Our current Governor, Andy Beshear has been amazing. Since 2019 he's helped our state overcome the Covid pandemic and our economy is the strongest it's ever been. So of course Republican voters in my red state can't wait to vote him out simply because he has a "D" next his name.

People like Trump, Bevin, DeSantis and Cameron ARE the Republican Party. They're all about the pursuit power and money. This is why every election is the most important in our lifetime. It's going to take a relentless effort every November to keep these soulless Republicans from winning office. It's the biggest challenge of our generation. The question is do we want to live in a Democracy or a Theocracy/Kleptocracy?

Man I miss Eric Boehlert

Eric Boehlert was a master at analyzing the mainstream media. Miss his weekly analysis. There's other journalists who critique the media but Eric was unique. He'd be going nuts right now commenting on the way the press is attacking Biden and how much they miss Trump.

His last column for his Press Run site before he died was one of his best. Basically not much has changed since April. The press continues to root against Biden.
