The rot within the Republican Party started at the head -- #PO1135809 – but it has made its way through the body. Here are a few examples from this week ( Igot a lot of this from a daily newsletter I read, Matt Kiser’s WTF Just Happened Today. He’s been producing this newsletter almost daily since Janaury 20, 2017, and it is an invaluable real-time resource for events since then.):
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that Republican Congressman George Santos will be formally expelled from the House of Representatives today. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that about 90 House Republicans plan to vote for his ouster when the vote is taken later today. I’m not staking out a particularly bold position here – most observers who know more than I do about such things agree that he will be ousted. He apparently thinks so too.
Elon Musk, right-wing wannabe global superpower, told advertisers on his platform X (formerly known as Prince – no, I mean formerly known as Twitter) to “F**k themselves” if they threaten to withhold ad buys on his dying platform. We should be particularly concerned about this because NASA has contracted with Musk to conduct future space launches. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas, etc.
An appeals court reinstated the gag order against #PO1135809 in his civil fraud trial in New York.
Former member of Congress Liz Cheney’s new book reveals how deep the rot goes inside the House GOP conference.
Prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, say that they do not intend to offer plea deals for #PO1135809, Mark Meadows, or Rudy Giuliani, suggesting that they have plenty of information to convict them.
Former Vice President Mike Pence (aka The Weasel) told investigators that he originally planned to skip the electoral certification on January 6, but was persuaded to attend by his son.
Evidence has emerged that shows that GOP Senator Chuck Grassley (age – older than Biden) was more deeply involved in the plot to challenge the election results in Congress on January 6.
The Republicans on the United States Judiciary Committee walked out of a committee session in protest today as the Democratic majority voted to subpoena conservative billionaire Harlan Crow and judicial activist Leonard Leo as part of an ongoing investigation into Supreme Court ethics.
GOP members of Congress are apparently on board with #PO1135809’s plan to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act. Because that worked out so well for them last time around. BTW, he also plans to expand the role of the military in domestic affairs (in violation of the longstanding rule of posse comitatus), and to utilize the DOJ to shut down protests and exact revenge on his perceived enemies.
When Hunter Biden agreed to testify before a congressional committee (led by GOP member James Comer), but only in public, the committee quickly backpedaled because it realized that it couldn’t spin the testimony into something politically useful for them if it was done in public.
GOP nominee wannabe Ron DeSantis had his ass handed to him by Gavin Newsome last night on nationwide television.
The Koch network backed away from its long-standing support for #PO1135809 and instead endorsed Nikki Haley. Watch for #PO1135809 to fire off criticisms of this network and its donors as he continues to demolish the political party that should have known he was a snake when the let him in.
New tapes have revealed greater complicity by some Republican members of Congress in the January 6 insurrection than was previously known.
Earlier this week two republican election officials in Arizona were indicted for delaying the certification of the 2022 election results.
A co-founder of Students for T***p was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend.
Christian Ziegler, the husband of Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, is under criminal investigation after a woman filed a complaint with police alleging the longtime Republican official had raped her, the Florida Trident reports. The woman also alleged that she and both Zieglers had been involved in a longstanding consensual three-way sexual relationship prior to the incident. The Zieglers are prominent figures in Florida’s Republican Party, with Christian Ziegler known for his family values platform and Bridget Ziegler gaining recognition for her involvement in the conservative education agenda, including the “don’t say gay” law and her stance against critical race theory in schools. The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified Moms For Liberty as a hate group.
And this is just some of what is happening.
And the beat goes on.
Trump was never a Republican. When Hilary was a Senator from New York he was great friends with the Clintons. He only became a Republican when he realized that Democrats weren't stupid enough to vote for him/
It would be laughable - who am I kidding? It is laughable - except that it's so damn scary. Wake up, America or we'll end up being Amerika.
