GOP U.S. Senate WTF?!

Dense Marsha Blackburn Suggests Building A Wall Between Tennessee And…Alabama?

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is to the U.S. Senate what Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are to the House of Representatives: A clueless gasbag who knows almost nothing about virtually everything.

Blackburn proved her massive ignorance with a tweet she sent out suggesting that her home state of Tennessee wants to see a wall built on its southern border:

“Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border.”

Blackburn likely meant that the people of Tennessee want a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, but the way she phrased her tweet set off hysterical laughter online and was a reminder that the senator’s so-called “qualifications” for office are a degree in home economics from Mississippi State University.

GOP Pollster: Republicans Think Trump Is A ‘Child’ And Laugh At Him

With the midterm elections now just seven months away, some Republicans are taking a long look at the party and trying to figure out if failed, one-term former President Donald Trump still holds sway in the GOP.

The answer, it seems, is that Trump is seen by many in the know as being in the rearview mirror with his influence and importance dissipating by the day.

Eleanor Clift writes in The Daily Beast that well-known Republican pollster Frank Luntz is convinced Trump is history:

“They won’t say it [in public], but behind his back, they think he’s a child. They’re laughing at him.”

Luntz also explained that the vast majority of Republicans have no desire to relitigate the 2020 election and would rather drop the subject completely:

“Trump isn’t the same man he was a year ago. Even many Republicans are tired of going back and rehashing the 2020 election. Everybody else has moved on and in Washington everyone believes he lost the election.”

Clift warns that while Trump’s influence may be waning inside the GOP, that could change depending on how candidates he has endorsed do come November:

“Republicans may be laughing at Trump behind his back, as Luntz indicated, but making fun of the former president could backfire. When President Barack Obama ridiculed Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011, the putdown was so stinging that some believe it prompted the real-estate tycoon’s 2016 bid for the presidency.

“This time around, we will learn when the votes are counted in the nearly 130 races where Trump has endorsed a candidate, testing his strength in the Republican Party to pick governors and senators and even state legislators—and testing the theories of those who say his best days are behind him, and the fortitude of those who mock him.”

Greene Says House Republicans Will Impeach Biden And Harris If They Win The Midterm Election

If Republicans win control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), their top priority won’t be legislating or doing anything to help the American people. Instead, they intend to try and impeach President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

At a reelection kickoff for alleged sex trafficker Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Greene made it clear that she and her GOP colleagues will be seeking payback for the two impeachments of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump:

“Here’s what we do after that we too impeach Kamala Harris, because you can’t encourage, and promote, and raise money for criminal rioters, and expect to serve the interest of the people, the great people of the United States. That is a conflict of interest.”

If Republicans win control of the House, they can indeed impeach Biden and Harris, though there’s no way either would be convicted in a Senate trial. Such a move would also alienate millions of voters as the country moves closer to the 2024 presidential election.

Trump has been hinting that he will likely run in 2024, but considering his age, questionable health, and possible indictment, that’s not even a 50-50 proposition.

Greene and her ilk are on the verge of overplaying their hand, and that could wind up making it all the more likely that Democrats win in 2024 and become the permanent party in power for decades.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Police Report Against Jimmy Kimmel For Making Fun Of Her

Proving that the biggest snowflakes in the world reside in the Republican Party, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a report with the U.S. Capitol Police on Wednesday because comedian Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about her.

HuffPost reports:

During his monologue on Tuesday night, Kimmel ridiculed Greene for accusing three Republican senators of being “pro-pedophile” because they voted to confirm Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

“Wow, where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?” Kimmel quipped, referring to the actor who slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars last month.

That led Greene to post a tweet announcing that she had filed a report:

“This threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice.”

Kimmel responded to Greene in brilliant fashion:

Keep in mind that while Greene is suddenly asking the Capitol Police to take her seriously, she was one of 21 House Republicans who voted against awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to members of the force who responded on January 6, 2021 when pro-Trump rioters stormed the seat of government, killing a Capitol policeman.

Others on Twitter also had some choice words for Greene.

Lauren Boebert Proves Her Massive Ignorance With A Misspelled Attack On ‘Micky Mouse’

 

Even though it’s been clear for some time that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, a glaring typo she made in a tweet attacking Disney for opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law left many wondering if the congresswoman actually earned her GED or paid someone to take it for her.

Here’s what Boebert posted:

“Next year, the woke Disney lobbyists will ask Congress to extend Micky Mouse’s trademark.

“I think not.”

First of all, it’s obvious that Boebert doesn’t understand a damn thing about copyright or trademark law.

Oh, and there’s also the matter of how she spelled Mickey Mouse’s name. As kids, we all learned how to do that, didn’t we?

For her massive ignorance, the Colorado Republican was dragged on Twitter.
