Quote of the Day -- On Republicans After Trump

What Republicans have learned from Trump:

Never apologize. Lie. Never admit wrongdoing. Lie. Never take responsibility. Lie. Never follow the rules. Lie. Never be on the defensive. Lie. Attack. Accuse. Attack. Accuse. Lie. Play the victim. Lie. Play the victim some more. Lie. --Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom (Keeping in mind Joe Walsh is a conservative and former Republican himself).

Missouri's Senator Blunt Tries to Clean Up Another of This President's Messes--Again

Did you see this? Missouri's Senator Blunt had to speak in Congress about our election this Fall after his political party's President put it all into question.

As Trump questions U.S. election system, Blunt says it’s ‘secure as it’s ever been’

How pathetic is it that we have to have our Senators come out to speak in Congress, publicly, officially, to reassure the American people, we, the taxpaying citizens, that our President, this President, this very Republican Party President won't threaten our very own election and our vote, our votes?

What's additionally insane is that this is no way, not even remotely this same Senator or other Republican Party Senators have had to go behind this President and clean up after his verbal messes. Here's another. This one took place in October, 2019.

Top Senate Republican: 'I doubt the China comment was serious'

Like Senators Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and far too many others, they all prove they're extremely faithful lapdogs to this lying, cheating, conniving, self-serving conman. McConnell came out to "reassure us" this week.

McConnell Vows Orderly Transition of Power After Election

They're all far more interested in keeping and maintaining power--and their own money--than they are for doing what's right and good for the nation, for the people, even for Democracy.

Thanks, Republicans. Thanks again. Thanks again so very much.

Vote, folks.

And vote blue.

What Isn't to Hate About Kansas Republicans is to Love

Did you see this yesterday or today?

Kansas Congressman Steve Watkins charged with three felonies in illegal voting case

Watkins used a Topeka UPS store as a voter registration address

As I said in the title, yet more Republican Party hypocrisy.

If it isn't a male Republican bashing gays and legislating against them, or trying to, then being caught with a male in a sex romp, it's Republicans, like this one, that rails, along with his political party, about possible voter fraud and, voila'! Look what happens. He lists his residence as a commercial space AND GETS CAUGHT IN VOTER FRAUD.  And not one but 3 felonies, mind you.

Aren't Republicans wonderful?

I don't know for what.  Except maybe irony? Hypocrisy? Laughs when you aren't crying?

Speaking of Republicans from Kansas, we can't forget old Kris "I'm Not a Racist" Kobach

And then there's this.

Kris Kobach Admits He Violated 

Ethical Rules for Attorneys

And this from 2018.

Here's a brief summary of old Kris' issues.

Then, not done there, there's this Marshall guy, also from Kansas. Here's one for starters.

Roger Marshall was convicted of 

reckless driving in 2008

It gets worse from there.

“Sparks Fly” at Kansas GOP Senate Debate as Marshall Draws Continued Criticism Over Conviction Scandal

Marshall Slammed for Using Political and Business Connections to Erase Conviction, Still Facing Calls to Release Sealed Affidavit

Last night’s Kansas GOP Senate debate saw “sparks fly”as the underwhelming field of Republican candidates continued to attack each other in the “divisive and crowded” primary that has plagued Washington Republicans and left them “spooked this year.” Following a bombshell report that revealed how Congressman Roger Marshall used his political and business relationships to erase a reckless driving conviction and replace it with a minor traffic violation, Marshall faced an onslaught of brutal scrutiny from the other candidates for that scandal.

The nasty debate underscored how much of a “headache” Kansas has become for Republicans.

And what's amazing is that in all these cases, these men are all, all still in contention for their races. They haven't a) disqualified themselves or b) been thrown out, by the political party or by laws or anything.  They're still running.. That is quite the group of candidates they have running this year, I tell you what.

If you don't laugh with these guys, you cry. This political cartoon still fits them.

Thanks, Republicans!

Quote of the Day -- Poetry Version

Pity the nation whose people are sheep,

and whose shepherds mislead them.

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,

and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.

Pity the nation that raises not its voice,

except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero

and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.

Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own

and no other culture but its own.

Pity the nation whose breath is money

and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.

Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode

and their freedoms to be washed away.

My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.

― Lawrence Ferlinghetti
