Like so many Republicans in the Age of Trump, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has absolutely no shame, no remorse, and no discernable intellect.
If you doubt that, consider that Gaetz stood on the floor of the House of Representatives Monday and demanded that those who sexually harass others be held accountable for their actions.
Gaetz’s comments were made on the floor of the House in support of a bill that would end mandatory arbitration for workplace sexual harassment claims.
Here’s what Gaetz had the gall to say despite the fact that he’s currently under federal investigation for allegedly engaging in the sexual trafficking of an underage girl:
Keep in mind this is the same Matt Gaetz who was the only member of Congress to vote against an anti-human trafficking bill in 2017, Politifact has confirmed:
Gaetz really was the only vote against an anti-human trafficking bill that Trump signed into law. The reason he offered at the time was not on the bill’s substance, but in favor of limiting government.
What comes to mind when you hear the name of Lauren Boebert, the Republican congresswoman from the state of Colorado? Bigoted? Narrow-minded? Angry? Obtuse? Probably those and many others, none of them positive.
But according to Bobert herself, the first thing that should pop into your head is an image of Jesus.
Yes, she actually said that.
Speaking with Mike Huckabee on Newsmax, Boebert began by explaining why she ran for Congress in the first place:
That led Huckabee to note that Boebert isn’t “afraid to speak openly about your faith and how it defines you.” He then added:
“You’re not timid and you’re not afraid to let people know that you are a Christian believer and that that’s what gives you your core values. Do you find that people sometimes are wanting you to say just tone it down a little bit, Congresswoman? Just tone it down. Do you hear that?”
The congresswoman responded:
Not content with having compared herself to Jesus, Boebert continued:
“And now here we are in another cycle of cancel culture but this is nothing new. Cancel culture has been around since the beginning of time. Cain canceled Abel. We had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that were thrown into the fiery furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to cancel them but there stood another in the midst of them and He was the son of God.
“And then they tried to cancel Jesus but you can’t cancel God!”
Holy shit! Is this woman serious?! If so, it’s quite clear she hasn’t actually read the New Testament or she would have immediately noted that Jesus preached one thing above all others. It’s known as the Golden Rule:
Do unto others as you would have done unto you. That’s the most fundamental teaching of Jesus and is supposed to be a major tenet for all Christians.
And yet, Boebert constantly attacks others, belittles those she disagrees with, and makes herself the center of attention. None of those are what Jesus urged his followers to do.
Lauren Bobert is a hypocrite. And here’s what Jesus said about hypocrites:
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” (Matthew 23:27-28)
Sounds just like a certain member of Congress from Colorado, doesn’t it?
Shortly after she took office in early 2021, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a disgusting sign outside her congressional office, which just so happened to be across the hall from another member of Congress who has a transgender child.
Illinois Rep. Marie Newman, whose daughter is transgender, posted a video on Twitter of her hanging the pink and blue transgender pride flag outside her office Wednesday afternoon, captioning that Greene tried to block the act “because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral, and evil,'” adding, “thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door” with winking and transgender flag emojis.
That evening, Greene retweeted Newman’s post and added a video of her hanging a sign that reads “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE …Trust The Science!”
Now, however, someone has decided to leave a message on Greene’s sign –“Free Palestine”– and it put her into an unhinged tizzy, taking to Telegram (because she’s been banned from Twitter) and posting a video that is just this side of deranged in which she angrily declares:
But it’s what Greene says next in the video that’s so damn laughable:
“This is criminal activity. It’s vandalism, destruction of property, so when the person gets caught they’re going to be held accountable. But here’s the scary thing — they work in our building!”
Criminal activity? Is it as bad as what was done on January 6, which Greene has repeatedly tried to downplay? She even has the nerve to whine that the domestic terrorists who defaced the Capitol and killed a police officer on that horrific day are being mistreated while they’re incarcerated and awaiting trial. Which makes you wonder if Greene would be this enraged if someone had written “Free the J6 prisoners” on her beloved sign.
Near the end of her video, Greene tries to get sympathy by asserting that her life is in danger:
“Because if someone is this crazy, so crazy and deranged over a sign that says there are only two genders, male and female, and they keep attacking it … then obviously they may try to attack me personally.”
In one final hissy fit flourish, Greene talks about how much she hates being in Congress, which makes you wonder why she doesn’t just resign and not run for reelection in the midterms:
Poor Marjorie! She’s used to being a bully, but when someone pushes back or writes a message on her hallowed sign, she pitches a fit like a spoiled toddler.
Failed, twice-impeached, one-term former President Donald Trump held one of his pathetic rallies in Conroe, Texas on Saturday evening, and before he ever took the stage, his MAGA moron faithful were proving they’re even dumber than the imbecile they so fervently adore.
One woman said that the Joe Biden we now see is actually a “fake” because “the real Biden was assassinated at Gitmo in March 2019.”
Oh, and she also thinks that Trump has resurrected dead celebrities and suggested that Michael Jackson, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Princess Diana would all be at Trump’s upcoming inauguration because he was essential in helping them “escape.”
There was also a man wearing a cowboy hat who held up a sign showing President Joe Biden wearing a dog collar and leash that was held by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
And it wouldn’t be a Trump rally without the mathematically and historically challenged idiots who love to wear clothing that only makes sense if you have the IQ of an eggplant:
And the signs. You gotta have the signs:
One day we’ll look back on this time in American history and laugh — Once we stop crying.
With multiple criminal investigations closing in on him, his father, and his two oldest siblings, Donald Trump Jr. is trying to remain relevant and post as much mindless bullshit as possible on social media, because he won’t have access to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram when he gets to prison.
Junior’s latest target? Women who dare to color their hair. He attacked them by comparing then to animals who “develop bright colors” to “warn others of their toxicity.
WTF?! If someone dares to color their hair, that makes them poisonous? Does his father know that, because it’s quite clear the old man uses some sort of coloring in that rat’s nest sitting atop his head.
What about Ivanka? I’m willing to be she also colors her hair and has since she was a teenager.
One good thing did come from Don Jr’s moronic posting: The beating he took on social media.
