Tennessee Republican Says Hitler an Inspiration for How Homeless Can Escape Poverty


In support of a bill currently going through the Tennessee state senate, Republican state senator Frank Niceley wants folks to know people can work their way out of homelessness, explaining that "I want to give you a little lesson on homelessness.  In nineteen and ten, Hitler decided to live on the streets for a while.  So, for two years, Hitler lived on the streets and practiced his oratory, his body language, and how to connect with citizens - and then went on to lead a life that got him into history books.  So, a lot of these people, it's not a dead end. They can come out of these homeless camps and have a productive life.”

Like it or not, Sen. Niceley does make a good point.  If you ever find yourself homeless, rather than try and immediately find a job or some sort of housing, the first move you should consider making - is invading Poland.  Because it’s important for people to know that if you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you too can go from a struggling and desperate homeless person - to a murderous, psychopathic dictator. 


Now, what I find most interesting is that this Republican could have picked any one of hundreds of inspirational examples of people who’ve managed to overcome poverty and homelessness, yet the best example he could think of was that of Adolf Hitler.  I suppose that means Hitler must be polling quite well among Republicans in Tennessee this year. 


Anyway, given the popularity of authoritarian strongmen among conservatives of late, it’s sort of a shame Hitler isn’t available to speak at CPAC this year.  Why, his fiery speeches attacking minorities and immigrants, would instantly make him the star attraction of the conference.  Of course, because Hitler’s dead, he won’t actually be able to physically attend CPAC.  On the other hand, whenever there's a large gathering of conservative Republicans, Hitler will always be there in spirit.


Now, my take on all this nonsense is that Republicans are just pissed because they’re getting so much blowback in their effort to criminalize poverty.  This is why, when Sen. Niceley sees homeless people on the street, he immediately asks himself, “Now, what would Hitler do?”  Well, the fact is, that’s really not such a difficult question to answer - he committed suicide.

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million?  Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.”  Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment.  Now, that really takes some skill!  Talk about “The Art of the Deal!”  I’m totally impressed.  Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.”   I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court abo...
