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.
The geography department at Trump University was severely underfunded.

when I was a TN resident years ago, I'd have joked this would protect TN from MS, AL and GA — but now that human dust bunnies like you are in office, pretty sure it's the other way around
Tennesseans want health care. We want broadband. We want better schools that aren’t underfunded and at risk of losing add’l funds b/c of the governors charter school-for-profit scheme. They want clean air and water.
They want you to do your job, not simply snark-tweet all day.
Every single time he opens his mouth these days, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) only manages to completely humiliate himself and prove that he’s little more than a brainless simp who should remain silent rather than repeatedly reinforcing what an idiot he is.
Last week, Cawthorn alleged that he had been invited to “cocaine orgies” by fellow GOP members of Congress, but he refused to provide any names, probably because he made the whole thing up.
And now the North Carolina Republican is taking to the House floor to offer his definition of what the word “woman” means, an obvious dig at the transgender community and Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, who said she wouldn’t define “woman” during her confirmation hearings.
Here’s what Cawthorn said earlier today:
“The left has ripped away the pin of truth from the author of life. They’ve exchanged natural science for party platform and declared war on biology.
“I never imagined that one of my sacred duties in this hallowed chamber would be explaining to the House Speaker the difference between a man and a woman. Take notes, Madame Speaker, I’m about to define what a woman is for you.”
The congressman then offered up his definition of womanhood:
“XX chromosomes, no tallywacker.”
He then added this bit of inanity:
“It’s so simple. And yet, today, this proclamation of fundamental scientific fact will cause the woke liberals in Silicon Valley to strip you of your voice and ban you until you bow at their altar of falsehoods.
“Perhaps it will click when you hand the gavel to Republicans.”
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (@RepCawthorn): "You might amend a bill, but you'll never amend biology. Science is not Burger King. You can't just have it your way…take notes Madame Speaker, I'm about to define what a woman is for you." pic.twitter.com/kPlUV2FALi
No tallywacker? Is this asshat still in the damn fifth grade? Can you believe someone actually agreed to marry this douchebag?
However, while Cawthorn did indeed get married in 2020, in 2021 he announced that he and his wife would be getting a divorce, which makes you wonder if perhaps the congressman couldn’t satisfy his ex with his tallywacker. That, or maybe she got tired of him talking like a child and dumped him for a real man.
Take, for example, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who loves to try and troll people he disagrees with, but almost always fails and winds up with egg on his face.
Such was the case Thursday when Cruz spoke at CPAC in Orlando, Florida, Mediaite reports:
After referencing (White House Press Secretary Jen) Psaki, Cruz actually called out the audience out for not booing the mere mention of her.
The audience obliged.
“Boooo!”
“You know, Peppermint Patty deserves some love,” Cruz said, comparing Psaki to the character from Peanuts.
When a reporter referenced Cruz’s comments at the daily White House press briefing, Psaki had the perfect retort:
“Don’t tell him I like Peppermint Patty. So I’m not going to take it too offensively. Sen. Cruz, I like Peppermint Patty. I’m a little tougher than that, but there you go.”
Ted Cruz is an embarrassment to his daughters. Imagine teaching your daughters it's okay to refer to a professional female as "Peppermint Patty". Or – teaching them it's okay if a bully calls your mom ugly. I sincerely feel sorry for his daughters.
Of course, Ted will never be able to live down his nickname, Cancun Cruz, so his only option is to try and divert attention from himself to someone else. Problem is, he looks like an asshole either way.
For his willingness to cooperate with his Democratic Senate colleagues and help pass an infrastructure bill that will provide $4.6 for highways in his home state, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has been censured by the Aiken County Republican Party, proving that many in the GOP are opposed to compromise and reaching across the aisle even when it benefits them and their constituents.
“The local party this week accused the powerful South Carolina Republican of playing both sides of the political aisle to his advantage, consciously violating Republican principles, backing bills ‘that target our freedoms,’ and, ultimately, wandering too far to the left.”
The $1.1 trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill passed the Senate this week by a final vote of 69-30, with 19 Republicans cross the aisle to give their consent to the legislation, which will provide billions in funding for states and also be a boon to employment across the country.
After the bill passed, Graham issued a statement saying it was good for the Palmetto State:
“It provides much-needed help for our roads, bridges, ports, and expands broadband internet access. I have always been supportive of infrastructure investment and wish we had passed this years ago. This bill provides American infrastructure with a much-needed face-lift.”
But Republicans in Aiken County dubbed the bill a mistake, and claimed that it “degrades the rights of existing American businesses.” Their censure also included this about Graham:
“(His vote) shows a purposeful neglect to act within the fiscal conservative agenda that the Republicans elected him to diligently uphold.”
Interestingly, former President Donald Trump was also opposed to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, issuing a statement after it passed that read:
“Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow. I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politics—now I don’t have to be quiet anymore. He is working so hard to give Biden a victory, now they’ll go for the big one, including the biggest tax increases in the history of our Country.”
Sounds like sour grapes from Trump, who repeatedly talked about it being “infrastructure week” during his failed single term in office, but never actually got around to doing so with legislation or a package of suggestions for Congress, even though the GOP had control of both houses of Congress for Trump’s first two years in office.
If perhaps you’ve ever wondered whether or not stupidity is a hereditary trait, consider the case of the family of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and their dairy farm just outside Tulare, California.
According to The Tulare Advance-Register, a massive 100-ton hay fire is burning at the Nunes and Sons Dairy, which has investigators wondering what exactly might have caused the blaze.
Well, according to neighbors who live near the Nunes dairy farm, it’s all connected a fireworks show held at the dairy on the eve of Independence Day:
“Neighbors on Oakdale Avenue said they witnessed a ‘Disney-style’ illegal fireworks show and party at the dairy, which is run by a relative of Tulare Congressman Devin Nunes.
“Lori Lockwood, who lives across from the dairy, said she heard loud booms and felt her house shake before midnight. She went outside with her husband and watched the colorful display, she said.
Soon after, Lockwood said her husband noticed a fire spreading in the field that separates their property from the Nunes’ family dairy. She called 911.”
“I was concerned because they use the field to grow corn and silage for their cows, and it’s completely dry. We were prepared to leave. Fortunately, Tulare County Fire (Department) responded quickly and put the fire out before it could reach us.”
Exceptionally dry weather in California has led officials to to warn against residents shooting fireworks at home, but apparently the Nunes clan doesn’t think the rules apply to them, much like their more well-known relative.
News of a fire at the dairy is especially ironic in light of the fact that Congressman Nunes sued Twitter over a parody account that pretended to be from a cow at the Nunes family dairy, as CNN reported last year:
“California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes cannot sue Twitter over allegedly defamatory remarks made about him by satirical accounts pretending to be his mother and a cow, a Virginia judge ruled Wednesday.
“Nunes sued Twitter, the two satirical accounts and a third Twitter user in March 2019, demanding $250 million in damages and that the anonymous accounts be unmasked.”
@DevinCow had this to say about the dairy fire:
What sort of idiot that has a fireworks display over 100 tons of hay? The Devin Nunes sort, of course https://t.co/q6DHYw0ccq
