You've Got to Be Kidding?

After two New York Times reporters broke the story that just about everything we know about Congressman-elect George Santos was a big lie, the incoming Congressman admitted in two interviews to "embellishing" parts of his resume, but added that he still intends to be sworn in at the start of the new Congress on Jan. 3rd.   Santos told the New York Post that “My sins here are embellishing my resume.   I’m sorry.” Why how dare they question the integrity of a bonafide Bowling Green Massacre survivor?   Besides, what’s the big deal, anyway?   Everyone knows those nasty libs are always misquoting Republicans.   For example, he said he was Santos Claus, not Santa Claus!   Or, like when he claimed to have had a Jewish mother, and his grandparents were survivors of the Nazi regime.   Santos now says “I never claimed to be Jewish,” adding “I am Catholic.   Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background, I said I was `Jew-ish.”   Well t...

In a new video, former President Donald Trump lashed out at the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots, first describing claims that he lunged at a Secret Service agent in his presidential limo in an attempt to try to force the agent to drive him to the Capitol, as ridiculous.   He then implied that the Jan. 6th riots were actually a provocation by federal informants, followed by more election denying, then attacking Special Counsel Jack Smith and his family for being “Trump haters,” before finally accusing Jan. 6th Committee members of being "Marxists." Wow, Liz Chaney’s a Marxist?   Who knew?   Well, come to think of it, she is from Wyoming, and we all know what a hotbed of Marxism that place is!   I mean, when anyone thinks of some of the “great Marxist thinkers” of our time, Liz Cheney and her family almost always come to mind.   Gee, I wondered why when she was reading her summation of the Jan. 6th Committee’s work - that she k...

After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Biden at the White House, followed by an English-language speech during a joint session of Congress, MAGA Republicans have gone ballistic over Zelensky getting such a warm reception from Democrats.   Leading that charge are folks like Tucker Carlson, Don Jr., and Lauren Boebert, all of whom found it especially offensive when Vice President Kamala Harris and outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood behind Zelenskyy while holding up a Ukrainian flag in solidarity with his country.   Don Jr. tweeted that “Zelenskyy is basically an ungrateful international welfare queen,” while Boebert complained all the money we send to Ukraine goes missing.   Tucker Carlson called Zelenskyy a “Ukrainian strip club manager,” describing the Zelenskyy visit this way - “It may be impossible to imagine a more humiliating scenario for the greatest country on Earth.“ Yes, and Tucker, while we’re on the subject of “humiliating scenar...

The Republican Accountability Project has obtained a video of former Arizona television personality, Trump sycophant, and failed 2022 Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake making what has been described as an extremely dangerous, inflammatory speech at Mar-a-Lago this past week.   In the video, Lake claims the gubernatorial election has been stolen from her and the people of Arizona, warning that the “bastards” who stole the election have “messed with the wrong bitch.” Yeah, they stole the entire election - by getting more votes than she got!  Isn’t that just like those pesky Democrats?   Now, in her speech, Lake tried to justify her claim the election was stolen, by pointing out that "We just had such a huge movement going.”   Well, if she’s talking about a “bowel movement,” then I fully agree, because almost everything about her campaign, did remind me of a big pile of shit. Anyway, she’s now threatening Arizona election officials, claiming they’ve “Messed ...

Earlier this week, Donald Trump hyped a "major announcement” he was about to make, which QAnon adherents interpreted as Trump announcing he was going to declare himself a candidate for Speaker of the House.   Instead, his “major announcement” turned out to be nothing more than a commercial for “digital trading cards,” also known as “Trump Cards” he plans to sell.   The former president, who has already announced he will run again for re-election in 2024, promoted his $99 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in a superhero-style video, that claimed buyers will also be entered into a sweepstakes to win prizes that will include things such as dinner, golf, and Zoom calls with Trump. Gee, and to think I just assumed Trump’s “major announcement” was gonna be Donald finally admitting that Eric is actually Gary Busey’s son and not his.  Now, I’ve never been a big NFT fan, but I’ll tell ya what, if they throw in a couple of Mike Lindell’s MyPillows into the mix, I’m there! Not surprisingly...

Right Wing Watch is reporting that after the recent defeat of Herschel Walker by Rafael Warnock in Georgia, Mississippi MAGA pastor Shane Vaughn is outraged that rural MAGA Republicans are being outvoted by folks in large urban areas who tend to vote “Blue.”   So, he is now demanding that states abandon the 17th Amendment and abolish direct, popular voting for US Senators, replacing that with a “statewide Electoral College-like system.”   Pastor Vaughn says this is desperately needed because "We cannot defeat the ‘population centers’ without the Electoral College.” Yes pastor, because nothing says “justice and freedom,” quite like taking away people’s right to vote!  That said, I do understand the point the good pastor is trying to make here.   First and foremost, he believes “its a damn shame that states have to have big cities in them.”   I mean, how dare these Libtards push the idea that people who live in urban areas also deserve a say in how they’re govern...

Over the weekend, Elon Musk took to his Twitter account to call for the prosecution of infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, endorsing a convoluted, right-wing conspiracy theory that claims Dr. Fauci financed the COVID-19 pandemic.   Musk then proceeded to mock transgender people by adding “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” Gee, the “world’s richest right-wing troll” said what?  Now, I realize it's a really low bar, but I think we’ve finally found someone who actually knows less about pronouns - than Herschel Walker.   Not to be critical, but a good sign you may have a wee bit too much money on your hands, is when you blow 44 billion dollars, just to call people names. Oh sure, I’m positive Elon Musk, like any right-wing crusader, gets a real kick out of using his Twitter to “Own the Libs.”  OK, I get that, but just who does he suppose is actually buying his friggin' cars, anyway?   I’m pretty sure it isn’t Trump’s toothless, MAGA half-wits who are fillin...
