Congress GOP WTF?!

GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson Appears To Snort Something On The House Floor – Twitter Has Some Thoughts

 

Something very strange took place on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives recently, and it has led to endless chatter on Twitter.

According to HuffPost:

As another lawmaker spoke about energy, (GOP Rep. Ronny) Jackson ― or part of his head, anyway ― could be seen behind the poster board shifting and moving around awkwardly.

Then, the lawmaker known for his extreme devotion to Donald Trump stuck a finger near or perhaps inside his nose:

You may recall that before he became a congressman from Texas, Jackson was White House physician in the Trump administration and proudly declared that failed one-term former president Donald Trump was so healthy he might live to be 200 years old.

That was all it took to set off a wave of mockery and speculation on social media.

Maybe it’s time we make drug testing mandatory for members of Congress. We can start with Ronny Jackson.

Donald Trump GOP Social Media WTF?!

Trump’s Hateful Memorial Day Message: ‘We Must Stop The Communists, Marxists, And Fascist Pigs!’

As the nation honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States on this Memorial Day, failed and indicted former president Donald Trump decided he’d defile the memory of those who died in battle by posting an all-caps screed on his Truth Social site in which he railed against “communists, Marxists, and fascist pigs!”

“HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY THEY LOVE, AND TO THOSE IN LINE OF A VERY DIFFERENT, BUT EQUALLY DANGEROUS FIRE, STOPPING THE THREATS OF THE TERRORISTS, MISFITS AND LUNATIC THUGS WHO ARE WORKING FEVERISHLY FROM WITHIN TO OVERTURN AND DESTROY OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN IN GREATER PERIL THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW,. WE MUST STOP THE COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS AND FASCIST ‘PIGS’ AT EVERY TURN AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

How exactly does that honor the memories of the millions who have died to protect the freedoms we enjoy in this country? And what gives Trump the right to complain about anything when the legal peril he’s facing is his own damn fault?

Just last month, the disgraced ex-president had to surrender to authorities in Manhattan after being indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and video of that event made it clear that he was seething as he faced the consequences of his actions:

Trump may also be indicted soon in Georgia and by the Department of Justice. He’s been criming his entire life, and now that he’s having to pay the piper for those crimes, he’s lashing out because he thinks he’s above the law.

Here’s hoping by this time next year the Donald will be in prison for the rest of his pathetic life.

Why Are Members Of The Trump Family Threatening To ‘Hurt’ Ron DeSantis?

Even though failed one-term former president Donald Trump is currently running 36 points ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the latest polls for who will be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, members of the ex-president’s family seem to be threatening physical violence against DeSantis.

During an appearance on Newsmax Saturday, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to marry Donald Trump Jr. (and was dismissed from Fox because she sexually harassed female staffers), had this to say:

“If you are going to run against Donald Trump, you are going to get hurt and damaged badly. That is the problem. So by the time Trump is done, we saw this before, 16 people one after the next fell off the stage. You’re gonna end up in the junkyard. You’re not going to be in good shape for 2028.”

She added:

“That’s just a fact. I don’t think anybody’s going to dispute that. And I understand that Ron DeSantis has some support. You know the billionaire Boys Club, the big boys giving him some cash. Great. Donald Trump has the base. It’s Trump’s Republican Party. He’s 1000% going to be the nominee. He’s going to crush it in the primary.”

What in the hell is that all about? Did Guilfoyle suddenly join the mafia as a verbal hit woman who goes out and gets rid of anyone who dares to run against her future father-in-law?

If Trump is the inevitable 2024 Republican nominee, then DeSantis is no threat and if anything the Trump camp should simply ignore him. Why give free publicity to your opponent if you’re on a glidepath to the nomination?

The Trump camp is terrified of DeSantis. Not because he’s such a strong candidate (he isn’t), but because they know their client is badly flawed and facing multiple criminal indictments in the very near future. And while some may maintain those indictments will strengthen Trump among the GOP base, that’s not a sure thing and it could just as well drag his poll numbers down.

Expect the threats from the Trump camp to continue. After all, they’re just a pack of thugs who think they can bully their way back into the White House. But as we saw in 2020, that sort of nastiness wears thin with voters very quickly. It makes people despise you. And we don’t vote for people we hate.

Crime Donald Trump Justice Department

Former Federal Prosecutor Explains Why Trump Keeps Attacking Jack Smith

Ever since Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to look over the alleged crimes committed by failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, the disgraced ex-president has been on the attack, suggesting that Smith is a partisan and one of the worst people to ever trod the face of the planet, which is especially ironic coming from someone as immoral and downright evil as Trump.

Salon provided a brief rundown of some of the more disgusting things Trump has said about Smith.

Upon Smith’s appointment last year, Trump wrote that he was a “Trump Hating THUG” and a “fully weaponized monster.” This quickly spread, with some of Trump’s biggest supporters in Washington, including Sen. Ted CruzRep. Elise Stefanik, and Rep. Jim Jordan, also arguing that Smith and the Department of Justice were corrupt. A few months later, Trump began questioning whether Jack Smith was the prosecutor’s real name, and went so far as to call him an “unfair Savage.” The name-questioning got so bad (“What did his name used to be?”) that Smith’s hometown paper felt compelled to track down Smith’s high school yearbook, and now, the whole world can ponder his 1980s borderline-mullet situation. (He is, indeed, identified as Jack Smith, Class of ’87).

Considering that Smith will soon let the world know whether Trump will be charged with espionage, obstruction of justice, and mishandling of classified material (all felonies), you’d think Donald’s attorneys would tell to shut the hell up and let the entire matter play out.

But since Trump has the self-control of a two-year-old, he simply cannot resist lobbing one insult after another in Smith’s direction, which is odd behavior for someone who could potentially spend the rest of his life in prison if Smith decides to file charges.

Why, you might wonder, does Trump engage in such counterproductive behavior against the wishes of his legal counsel?

That’s the question Shirin Ali put to Robert Katzberg, a former federal prosecutor.

To Katzberg, it’s a simple case of Trump being characteristically impulsive and reacting emotionally. “I just don’t think he’s able to control himself. Any experienced lawyer would have resigned a long time before that.”

Children tend to act emotionally rather than rationally or strategically, and that’s certain the psychological blueprint many experts on human behavior have laid out when it comes to Trump: He may be a 76-year-old man, but he acts like a spoiled 5-year-old shitheel.

Katzberg added: “(Trump) has the thinnest skin of any human being in history and is incapable of keeping his mouth closed.”

Insecurity and thin skin. It’s the sort of combination you might feel pity for if you saw it in a friend or relative. But when it emanates from someone as pathologically hateful as Donald Trump, it just makes you hate the person. And that hatred is why the loser ex-president is likely headed to prison or for a landslide electoral defeat if he isn’t criminally charged.

Congress GOP Whining U.S. Senate

Lindsey Graham Pitches A Hissy Fit Over The House Debt Ceiling Deal: ‘I Will Not Be Intimidated!’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has long been known as one of the biggest whiners in Congress, but he really outdid himself Sunday during an appearance on Fox when asked the debt ceiling agreement worked out between Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden.

Graham’s main beef with the proposed legislation is that he claims it cuts military spending.

The South Carolina Republican told host Shannon Bream, “You know, number one, I respect Kevin McCarthy,” Graham said. “I want to raise the debt ceiling; it’d be irresponsible not to do it.”

“And I know you can’t get the perfect, but what I will not do is adopt the Biden defense budget and call it a success,” he complained. “Kevin said that the defense is fully funded. If we adopt the Biden defense budget, it increases defense spending below inflation. 3.2% increase in defense is below inflation.”

Graham then accused GOP supporters of the bill of “doing a great disservice to the party of Ronald Reagan.”

“I like Kevin a lot, but don’t tell me that the Biden defense budget fully funds the military,” Graham bristled. “So I look forward to the details, but if you send me the Biden defense budget to the United States Senate and declare it to the people of the United States, you will have a hard time with me.”

Unless spending on defense is increased, Graham insisted, he will not vote for the bill when it comes before the Senate.

“If you ask me now to swallow it because of the debt ceiling, you can forget it,” he remarked. “In 2011, my good friend Mitch McConnell negotiated to deal with Joe Biden that virtually destroyed the Defense Department in the name of raising the debt ceiling. Another round of sequestration, not only will I vote no, I will not be intimidated by June 5th.”

Virtually destroyed the Defense Department? Is that supposed to be some sort of joke? The one thing this country always funds above and beyond all other priorities (including children, education, food, and housing) is defense. For Graham to suggest otherwise is proof that he’s just as clueless and histrionic as ever.

Here’s the video of Lindsey clutching his pearls:
