Secret speaker list in favor of the book banning resolution at League City Council Meeting

December 12, 2022

This is some great gum shoe-ing! (I can’t take credit for it)

Last weeks League City City Council meeting spent almost 2 hours taking comments from 53 individuals against their book banning resolution. These individuals were required to sign in prior to the meeting and the video of the lobby shows them signing in.

There were 11 individuals who spoke in favor of the resolution but none of them are on the list to speak. None of them are in the video of the lobby prior to the meeting starting. So….how did Mayor Nick Long know who to call if their names were not on the list? Also the first to voice her oppositions knew beforehand what the others were going to say. It was clearly a coordinated event.

I would bet one of the Council members, after getting hammered by those who were against the resolution, sent a text to someone (Possibly Scott Bowen?) to round up the troops and voice some support of what they were doing. An Open Records request has been made for the list of the missing names yet League City has yet to respond. It’s easy to find the names since they were announced on the video of the meeting. That secret list was probably provided to the Mayor by Justin Hicks who sponsored the resolution. It really didn’t matter. Council was going to pass the resolution regardless of the outcry. It passed only by 4-3.

The list contains some extreme far right individuals including Scott Bowen, CCISD Trustee, Jeff Foxworth who leads the “I hate CCISD” group (or something like that). Also included at the end is Council Member Justin Hick’s wife. Was this illegal? Against City rules? Who knows. The missing 11 are below. I’m surprised that Christine Parizo didn’t shown up!

How to fix the Republican Party Part V: Put away your fuckin guns

December 12, 2022

State Representative Dennis Paul lives 2 blocks from me. I see him occasionally on the greenbelt. We usually say hello, how are you, etc. After the Uvalde massacre I started the conversation with “What the fuck is wrong with you Dennis?”. It went down hill from there. I called Dennis Paul every name in the book and I was loud about it. He is a rotten human being. He is a rotten christian. He is going to hell. I strongly recommended that he talk with his priest at Saint Bernadette’s church to ask for forgiveness for putting that gun in the hands of that 18 year old.

I’m done being nice about this.

Prior to the Santa Fe massacre Paul would prance around the voting center sporting his stupid looking NRA hat. He thought it was cute. 10 families in Santa Fe, 25 in El Paso, 21 in Uvalde probably thought otherwise. After Santa Fe Paul voted for open carry and then 2 years later voted for permit less carry allowing anyone to carry a loaded AR-15 dressed like GI Joe in public. He also voted to allow Texans to buy a silencer.

Families are being destroyed by gun violence in Texas and all Paul, the great self proclaimed goddamned Catholic, can do is to put more guns on the street. So has the entire Republican Party. It’s perverted. It’s sick. We live in a state where an 18 year old can buy a military style assault weapon, hundreds of rounds of body armor piercing bullets, a silencer, high capacity clips, body armor, dressed like GI Joe and walk around in public. It used to be a conservative value to consider anyone armed in public a danger to the public. Now it is just what living in Texas means.

This is just plain stupid and dangerous. How many more Christians, children, parents, students, have to die before Dennis Paul and the Republican Party does something? I thought it was the senseless killing of 21 children in Sandy Hook would have been the breaking point, or the killing of 26 christians praying in church, or the 11 Jews killed in a Synagogue, or the 10 kids in Sante Fe. I really thought the massacre of 19 10 year olds with heads blown off and internal body organs turned to mush would have done it but it didn’t.

But the tide is turning. It’s coming. It has to stop. Republicans need to restore conservative values about gun ownership. They need to treat guns like their dicks:

  • Don’t talk about your guns
  • Don’t compare your guns with others in public
  • Don’t play with your guns
  • Don’t show off your guns
  • Don’t pull your gun out unless you intend to use it
  • And don’t walk about in public with your gun in your hands or sticking out of your pants

Fuck you Dennis.


OMG! Harris County Republican Party continues to whine.

December 8, 2022

It just isn’t going to stop.

Harris County Republican candidate for the 189th Judicial seat has filed a lawsuit demanding a new election, one that she lost by 6000 votes. What a bunch of whiny ass, little bitches. According to the Houston Chronicle:

Republican judicial candidate Erin Lunceford filed a petition Wednesday seeking a new election in Harris County’s 189th judicial district court race after losing by 2,743 votes out of more than 1 million ballots cast.

Lunceford’s opponent, Democrat Tamika Craft, won the election by 0.26 percent of the vote.

Lunceford needs to grow a pair and quit whining. Now granted, Tamika Craft should have never won the Democratic Primary over a very good Judge, Judge Dollinger, and she shouldn’t have won the general either. She is just that bad of a candidate but that isn’t the point. The point is she won. By 6000 votes. If Lunceford wants a recount, then ask for it. Do it. Just like everyone else has. Then shut the hell up whether you win or lose.

But for fuck sakes, quit the fuckin whining.


How to fix the Republican Party Part IV: Stop attacking our Gay community

December 7, 2022

It just make you want to ask the question that needs to be asked.

What the fuck is wrong with you? It’s 2022. You have friends who are gay. Your kids teachers are gay. Your elected officials are gay. The guy driving next to you might be gay. They are our friends, our relatives, our kids and yet the Republican Party can’t stop attacking them based upon their “family values”.

Seriously what the living fuck is wrong with you? Yesterday the all white, male, christian, city council members of League City Texas narrowly passed a resolution to ban books based upon their christian values. It’s nothing but an attack on the gay community. It’s happening all across this country with Governor Desantis signing a “Don’t be gay” bill and with Texas to follow suit. Republican candidates across the country have targeted the gay community as well as their mouthpieces of Fox News and other extreme white wing commentators.

Their actions, words, and hate are getting people killed. It needs to stop. The Republican Party runs on hate. Hate for Mexicans, Gays, teachers, law enforcement, Muslims, Jews, Blacks, and other non-white Christians. It just needs to stop before more are killed.

It’s as if the Republican Party is stuck in Germany . During the 1930’s.


League City SausageFest green lights book burning

December 7, 2022

Last nights League City Council meeting was a total sausage fest.

The all white male members of the League City Council voted to beginning their purging of books from the city’s public library. On a split 4-3 vote and after almost 3 hours of comments from the community the Council approved a resolution, disguised as a resolution to protect children, that will open the door to banning books. It’s as if it was the 1930’s again. In Germany.

43 individuals including Republicans, librarians, men and women with advanced degrees in education, religious leaders, and others voiced their opposition to this unnecessary mingling into the work of Librarians. Only 10 individuals spoke in favor, many from an obscure church, and CCISD Trustee, Scott Bowen, identifying himself as a Trustee. (Bowen doesn’t even live in League City and does NOT represent the CCISD Board or his constituents on this matter.)

The comments from the Librarians, who have advanced degrees in education, stated that this poorly thought resolution was not necessary. They were creating a solution for a problem that does not exist. Books are currently screened by professionals, not religious zealots or political freaks. Four of the members didn’t care and voted for it anyway. Usually resolutions are passed unanimously with the authors working with everyone to come up with wording that everyone could stand united on. That didn’t happen last night.

Let’s hope that all these white, wholesome, christian, males pushing this book ban based upon their family values are never caught cheating on their wife or breaking the law because that would be a delicious treat to share. They could use the fire from the books to cook it.


How to fix the Republican Party Part III: Stop being a racist party

December 6, 2022

It’s 2022 and yet we still have to remind republicans that racism is bad. It’s real bad.

Back in 2008 after the election of President Obama the Republican Party spent millions to reach out for new voters. They found them waving the confederate flag, carrying guns, and hiding under their hoods of racism. These people have now taken over the Republican Party with real conservatives just hanging on for the ride afraid to speak out against racism of any shape or form.

Racism in the Republican Party has explode across the country. Elected officials and leaders of various state and county parties have made racist comments followed by resignations but conservatives refuse to denounce them. As an example Houston City Councilman Greg Travis made a racist comment about Michelle Obama. The community demanded his resignation while the other “conservatives” on City Council sat in silence. The chair of the Harris County Republican Party posted a racist meme which ended his 6 figure job with Pasadena and resulted in his resignation all while most republicans were silent.

Here is a bit of advice for the Republican Party. Racism is not a conservative value. When anyone associated with your party says something that is racially charged party members should immediately and strongly condemn their actions, demand an apology, and then remove them from any committee assignments if applicable. The action must be swift and severe in order to set an example for others who think saying something racist is funny.

What you don’t do is stay silent. It makes you look like a fuckin racist.


League City Texas to ban books on divorce, adultery, and guns.

December 4, 2022

League City Texas is a small community south of Houston. They pride themselves as being a conservative, christian, mostly white, city of love and diversity.

So next week League City will vote on a resolution, sponsored by Mayor Nick Long, that will ban books at the city library that contains subjects indoctrinating children in anti-christian lifestyles. According to a League City Councilman:

“The sanctity of marriage is sacred to League Citians. We do not condone adultery or normalizing single parenthood, porking porn stars or getting married over and over again. This is not a League City family value and all books referencing divorce or adultery in any form should be banned from our public libraries.”

“Books on gun topics should also be banned because they also go against our christian, family values especially after the Uvalde massacre that killed 19 children and 2 teachers. These books indoctrinate our children into a life style of shooting people to solve problems. As with adultery this is not a wholesome, christian, family value worthy of League City.”

The resolution will be voted on next week following a singles only prayer circle at the local shooting range.


Raising Campaign Cash: Mike May for TX HD 135

December 3, 2022

Mike May lost in his bid for Texas HD 135 currently held by Jon Rosenthal. He lost by 15 percentage points and like the Harris County Republican Party is whining about losing.

According to the Texas Tribune May is asking the Texas House to require a new election something they haven’t done in 40 years. From the Tribune:

The secretary of state’s office on Tuesday delivered May’s petition to House Speaker Dade Phelan, who can refer the contest to a committee for investigation and appoint another member of the House as a “master” to oversee discovery and evidence related to the contested election. If they side with May and void the results, another election would be required to decide the district’s representative. The House can also toss the contest by declaring it “frivolous.”

Claiming fraud or an election being rigged, especially by candidates who lose by wide margins is a new tactic by the Republican Party. We saw a challenge here in Clear Lake with a candidate for CCISD who lost by 25 percentage points claiming fraud and another actually filing a lawsuit, which was quickly withdrawn. May joins this group of fine candidates.

May raised just $23,926 for his race. $15,500 of this total came from 7 individuals donating $1000 or more. Kathaleen Wall, who spent $13 Million of her own money in two losing attempts at Congress, donated $5000. He also has a loan of $22,900.04. Running a campaign for a House District seat with only $45,000 isn’t a serious campaign unless your district is gerrymandered like HD 129 in Clear Lake where you can side with the NRA after the Uvalde massacre and still win by 20%.

Even republicans are tired of this election integrity bullshit. As are we.


How many days of sick leave do Congress Members get?

December 2, 2022

It’s not what you think.

Members of Congress are covered by the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) just like all civil service employees. They DO NOT have unlimited sick leave but they do have a very generous policy.

CS employees (including Congress Members) receive 1/2 day for every pay period of paid sick leave. They are paid 26 times a year so they receive 13 days of paid sick leave per year. This sick leave can be used for an illness or to take care of an ill family member.

Sick leave can be accrued. So if you do not take sick leave you can carry your 13 days into the next year. At retirement the remaining unused sick leave can be added to your time of service. It is not unusual for employees to have 6-12 months of unused sick leave at retirement. It’s a good policy to save your sick leave in case of a serious illness.

In case of a severe illness CS employees can use their accrued sick leave followed by an advancement of up to 30 days. After that they can use their vacation days and when that is depleted they can ask for vacation day donations from other employees. CS employees tend to be generous when their coworkers are in need.

So when you hear about members of Congress bitching about giving Rail workers, or anyone for that matter, 7 days of paid sick leave, just remember that they are a bunch of government sucking, whiny little, greedy ass, stingy bitches.


How to fix the Republican Party Part II: Stop being a dick about everything

December 2, 2022

There is nothing worse than someone who has to be a dick about everything.

You know who they are. They are the people at work who ask “What idiot thought of this?” Some of them lack social skills to phrase the question better such as “I have serious concerns with this issue.” Afterward most will be saying “What a dick!” The leaders of the Republican Party are different. It’s not a lack of social skills. It’s not a lack of compassion. It’s not a lack of intelligence. They are just a bunch of fuckin dicks……about everything.

As an example take our Governor, Greg Abbott. (please) Abbott has been bussing immigrants who have entered the country legally to other states without notifying the other states so they can be prepared. He promised these immigrants support and help in the other states. He lied. Illegal immigration is a problem but these individuals are here legally and there is absolutely no reason to be a dick about it.

The Republican Party has plenty of example of elected officials being dicks. Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz, and even local CCISD Trustee, Scott Bowen. Bowen was on video play coughing on a lady who was wearing a mask to a CCISD meeting. Bowen later apologized just like a republican without actually acknowledging what he did. For this is was included in the bag of dicks.

So the Republican Party needs to stop being dicks about everything. Why in the living fuck do you have to be a dick on every single issue enflaming half of the country instead of actually acting like a grownup and voicing your opinion but doing it in a way that is respectful to everyone. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The Republican Party needs to do themselves a favor and stop lying and stop being a dick about everything,


How to fix the Republican Party Part I: Stop lying

December 1, 2022

One thing Donald Trump taught the Republican Party was the art of lying out your ass.

It’s getting old and voters are beginning to realize that, like Trump, the GOP is full of shit every time they open their pie hole. It worked in 2016 but in 2022 it grew tiresome and the election in November showed it. Eventually people get tired of the lies whether it is about immigration, the economy, foreign affairs or a dangerous pandemic. It just gets to the point that no one is going to believe you anymore except for the MAGAt, ignorant base.

Lying is not a conservative value. It’s not what we teach our kids to do. Kids know there will be consequences if they are caught lying. So get back to true conservative values like your good book says “Thou shall not lie”. (While you are at it you might want to read the other 9 commandments.)

Members of the Republican Party claim to be “conservatives” but true conservatives don’t lie, every, single, fuckin, day, over and over and over. No one likes a pack of liars. So just fuckin stop lying.


Mexican MAGAts of Alvin Texas in City Council

November 30, 2022

Once the Republican Party takes a major dump on Donald Trump I wonder whose ass the Mexican MAGAts are going to start kissing.

Joel Castro is a Mexican American City Councilman in Alvin Texas. He is a Mexican MAGAt. Alvin is probably the epicenter of “republicanism”, not “conservatism”. There is nothing conservative about playing with guns especially after a couple of mass shootings within the last few weeks.

It’s hard for me to understand how any Mexican American (or anyone for that matter) would kiss Donald Trump’s ass and his movement. Mexican Americans are loyal people. They defend their families, friends, and those who need defending. Mocking a disabled individual would usually end in an ass kicking not an ass kissing. Making racist comments, calling people names, acting tough by playing with guns and making threats, attacking police, attacking our gay, Muslim, Jewish friends, all of this would end in a slap in the head with a chancla (a flip-flop) by your abuela (your grandmother).

Being disrespectful asshole is not a Mexican American value. It’s a Mexican MAGAt value. Castro has recently been re-elected to represent the citizens of Alvin Texas.


Raising Campaign Cash: State Representative Dennis Paul

November 29, 2022

Just call him PAC man.

Dennis Paul can’t raise money worth a damn so he looks to outside of his district and to PACs for the bulk of his money. In 2022 Paul raised $117,520 and continues to have a $111,000 outstanding loan. Of the $117,520 only $23,860 came from his own constituents leaving $93,860 or 80% of his entire fundraising for 2022.

Of his total donations $69,000 or 58% of his entire fundraising came from Political Action Committees including $2500 from a Charter School PAC, $5000 from the Farmers Employee and Agent PAC, Texas Land Title Association PAC, and USAA Employee PAC for $2000.

This is Dennis Paul. As much as Paul loves the NRA there are no recent donations from any gun nut organizations, maybe by design. He has scrubbed his page of all NRA pictures.


Colorado Drag Queens to provide active-shooter training to the Texas Dept of Safety

November 27, 2022

The Texas Department of Safety is asking for $1.2 BILLION for an active-shooter training facility. From the Texas Tribune:

The proposal comes as the agency faces heavy criticism over its response to the deadly elementary school shooting in Uvalde in May, when officers from several agencies including the DPS took 77 minutes to breach the classroom where a gunman shot to death 19 students and two teachers.

In response to this the drag queens from the Colorado night club shooting have some real life suggestions on active-shooter training. 1) Attack the shooter and 2) Hit the shooter over the head with your high heels. This training will save the State of Texas $1.2 Billion.

I mean seriously. This isn’t rocket science folks. You have a state that is flooded with high powered guns. Even the police are scared of the power of these guns yet most of them continue to vote for the very people who put these guns on the street and in their face. So instead of whining about needing $1.2 Billion for a training facility how about sucking it up and do your fucking job? How hard is it to rush the gunman? And if you need some high heels then go to Palais Royale and buy a pair and grow a pair too.

Law enforcement across the state has condoned this gun nut mentality now they need to live with their decisions, grow a pair, and do their fucking jobs. Or join us normal people and demand that these weapons be removed from the public and that Texas returns to a state of truly conservative gun ownership.


How bad did the Harris County Republican Party lose in 2022?

November 22, 2022

It really wasn’t pretty.

Unlike the results in the state races, Harris County Democrats nearly wiped every republican off the ballot. Out of 69 County races the Republican Party lost 65. (See list below)

The 65 loses included County Judge, County Clerk, County Treasurer, and two County Commissioners seats. Even after the Republican Party removed straight ticket voting after their wipe out in 2018, limiting access to voting, removing drop boxes for mail in ballots, and limiting the time allowed to vote, they still had their assess handed to them.

The Republican Party after spending millions won only 4 county races. Even after their constant advertising incorrectly claiming rising crime rates they only won 2 out of 15 Criminal Court seats. Voters just didn’t buy their crap. Other than those seats, they won a Judicial Court seat and a Justice of the Peace seat. That is it.

In Texas we call the 2022 election for the Republican Party a major ass kicking, a can of whoop ass, a butt whoopin and 2024 is just 2 years away.

Poor Mattress MAGAt Mac. He lost at least a million dollars betting on the republicans.

The whining for Mattress MAGAt Mac continues in the Houston Chronicle

November 20, 2022

The Houston Chronicle has a boner for Mattress MAGAt Mac.

MAGAt Mac bet $1 Million on Alexandra MAGAt Mealer hoping to beat Judge Lina Hidalgo. Unlike betting on the Houston Astros, he lost. Mac financed 1/10 of the total Mealer raised for her losing campaign. She out raised and out spent Hidalgo by 3 to 1 and yet she lost much like Trump did in 2020 and 2022 and the whining of the little bitches is just beginning.

The Houston Chronicle, as well as the Houston Astros, couldn’t get enough of MAGAt Mac with Mac throwing out the first ball in the World Series and getting front page coverage after cussing out Phillies fans in Philadelphia much like all Christians would do, repeatedly yelling FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU which was caught on video. The Chronicle just loved it. They adore him. They fucking love his MAGAt ass.

So it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the Chronicle allowed an advertisement paid for by Gallery Furniture from a “concerned citizen” kissing the ass of MAGAt Mac. It’s funny that this “concerned citizen” was critical of Hidalgo throwing shade on Mac’s losing bet claiming it was a low blow yet that same “concerned citizen” probably didn’t have any problems with his/her idol, Donald Trump, when he mocked a disable person, or made racist names for his opponents. He/she probably wouldn’t have any problems when one of the MAGAt republicans would make fun of an opponent or be an asshole when they they lost. It is wrong when they do it, but justified when MAGAts do it.

That is why they are MAGAts. They are low lifes. Deplorables. Rotten bastards. Prior to 2010 when the Teabagger Party was formed with Mattress MAGAt Mac being one of the biggest supporters and donors, this type of behavior would have been thrown out of the Republican Party. Back then they were conservatives. They believed in the rule of law. They believed in decency, honor, respect, loyalty to the Country. Now it is a requirement to be a loud mouth, lying, mother fucking, douchebag, asshole of a human being, to be a member of the Republican Party. Just like trump.

This is who they are.


The 11 Individuals who financed MAGAt Mealer for Harris County Judge. And lost.

November 19, 2022

Mattress “MAGAt” Mac has a reason to look disappointed.

Analyzing the campaign finance reports file with Harris County is not easy. The County provides pdf files that are not searchable. They do not have a method to download all contributions to a spreadsheet like the Texas Ethics Commission has. So I had to look at every singe page (over 2000) and identify the major donors to Mealer. (You’re welcome) I’ve tried my best to be accurate looking for total donations that amount to over $100,000. I know I missed a few, but not many. So here are the totals.

Alexandra “MAGAt” Mealer raised over $9 Million in her losing effort against Judge Lina Hidalgo. $3.9 Million of this total, 43%, came from just 11 individuals. The biggest loser is Mattress MAGAt Mac who donated nearly 10% of the entire fundraising total at $920,000. Richard Weekley followed with $605,000, and Alan Hassenflu was at a cool $500,000.

You are probably asking yourself “Who the fuck is Alan Hassenflu?”. Well, Hassenflu has donated $500,000 to Texas for Lawsuit Reform (deform) and $450,000 to the Houston Regional Business Coalition who donated $210,000 to Mealer. Weekley is a developer, brother of David Weekley, the homebuilder. David only donated $25,000 to Mealer. The extreme white wing PAC, Defend Texas Liberty donated $100,000. The total donations from these 11 individuals and 2 PACs totaled $422,000 or 46% of the entire total raised by Mealer.

Even with nearly half of all the $9 Million raised from just 11 individuals and 2 PACs MAGAt Mealer lost. All the commercials with MAGAt Mattress Mac, all the misinformation and downright lies by Mealer, all the poorly placed support by the Houston Police Officers Union, all of the $9 Million was for nothing. Voters saw through it all.

Here are the top losers of the MAGAt Mealer campaign:

DonorAmount
MAGAt Mac$920,000.00
Modest, David$610,000.00
Weekley, Richard$605,000.00
Hassenflu$500,000.00

Democrats call out the Harris County District Attorney’s office

November 18, 2022

The Texas Democratic Party has jumped in on the political theater concerning voting irregularities in Harris County:

“Today, we call on Harris County DA Kim Ogg to stop enabling Texas Republicans’ insidious efforts to silence Black and Brown Houstonians.” 

A couple of days after the Harris County Republican Party had their asses handed to them, again, even after spending millions of dollars from a few donors, they started whining and encouraged Greg Abbott to investigate voting irregularities in Harris County. And on cue, he did as did Ogg. From Houston Public Media:

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has opened an investigation into possible criminal conduct in the county’s administration of last week’s midterm election

Ogg has a beef with the Commissioners Court particularly with Judge Hidalgo and it has been out in full display for the last 4 years. Even if the beef is justified the response to the issue by the DA is much like a bull in a China store looking for the nearest reporter or TV camera. It’s getting old. It’s petty. It’s what we expect from a MAGAt republican not from a Normal Republican or Democrat.

The DA could have addressed this like an adult cautioning everyone to take a deep breath, let the audits and investigations play out before making comments or speculating about criminal activity. Instead she threw gasoline on the fire called the “Big Lie” perpetuating this incredible stupidity created by Trump, Abbott, and Paxton.

Personally I am pretty pissed how the DAs office has handled this situation as well as the primaries and the constant dispute with the Commissioners Court. It’s not what we expect from our elected officials unless they are MAGAts.

The primary season begins Jan of 2024.


The whiny little b*tches of the Harris County GOP

November 16, 2022

There is nothing worse than a whiny ass little bitch.

After getting their asses handed to them, again, the Harris County republican party has started its whining and Greg Abbott has responded with calling for an investigation into “election integrity”. Just like Abbott’s million dollar investigation into voter fraud and like Ken Paxton’s million dollar boondoggle this investigation will not end in any voter fraud charges. It’s nothing but a bunch of whiny little bitches looking for an excuse for losing their asses. Again.

Republicans knew this was coming. They ended straight ticket voting but lost anyway. Steven Hotze offered a bounty of $10,000 for voter fraud but nothing has been found. They sued to end drop off sites for ballots and anything that would make it easy for Texans to vote. The big lie and the false claims about voting integrity is just that and it is alive in Harris County. They really have nothing else to run on.

The top of the ticket, MAGAt Mealer spent nearly $10 Million from her sugar daddies and flooded the airwaves with misleading and false ads and they still lost. The Republican Party has nothing to offer except “keeping us safe from the Mexicans” even though they have been in charge for over two decades and haven’t solved the problem yet.

Here is one of their whines from the Houston Chronicle:

The Harris County Republican Party filed a lawsuit against Tatum and the county on Monday, alleging several violations of the Texas Election code and claimed paper shortages at 23 out of 782 voting locations amounted to voter suppression.

23 out of 782 had paper shortages. Not 230, 23. Voter suppression? Really? Voter suppression? This is laughable.


The GOP is having a movement. #DumpTrump

November 12, 2022

Losing the Presidency, the House, and theSenate in 2020 wasn’t enough for the Republican Party to rid itself of Donald Trump. Maybe the red wave of 2022 that turned out to be nothing but a light trickle might just do it. Many “conservatives” are encouraging the GOP to make a big push and expel him out of the party once and for all.

It’s not that trump is a rotten human being, or a racist, or an asshole, or a liar, or cheat. It’s not that he made fun of a disabled American, or refers to Asian Americans as “Chow Chow”, or Native Americans as “Pocahantas”, or that he is cruel to immigrants coming to the United States legally, or that he porked a porn star and paid her off to keep silent. No, it’s much more important than all of that. Trump is losing elections and the GOP is losing power. That is why they are calling for the GOP to take a dump.

Unfortunately it’s not going to be easy to get rid of the stench of trump and his family. It’s like stepping in a pile of dog shit and tracking it throughout the house. It’s going to take time to clean it up all the while your house will smell like shit. Trump on the other hand has his own plans. To get the attention focused back on him he will announce a run for 2024. He will then be indicted but will use that to further his “witch hunt” claims to his advantage. Then the fun begins.

Trump will lose the primary but will not give up power. I can see the Coalition of Right Wing America First Party (CRAP) forming with all of his truck driving, flag waving, politically ignorant “patriots” right behind him. He will spit the Republican Party handing a defeat to all republicans across the board. No one, NO ONE, disrespects Donald without paying the price, and they will pay. Dearly.

Of course AG Garland might hand the GOP a gift with an indictment concerning Jan 6 and the GOP will have a way out of this mess they stepped in. Until then it’s time for them to make one big push to rid themselves of this MAGAt and move on to the next one. DeSantis.
