Arizona state Rep. Brenda Barton is not going tostand for the Nazi tactics of Nazi Barack Hussein Obamanazi and his Nazi government shutdown Park Service Nazis anymore, because they've Nazi'd the Nazi Nazi Nazis all to Nazi. On Facebook Monday, Barton called for a common-sense approach to dealing with parks and monuments closed by the government shutdown:


"Someone is paying the National Park Service thugs overtime for their efforts to carry out the order of De Fuhrer... where are our Constitutional Sheriffs who can revoke the Park Service Rangers authority to arrest??? Do we have any Sheriffs with a pair?"

At press time, it was unclear whether "De Fuhrer" was a typo or a perfectly hilarious means of reminding Obama that he is as black as Hitler's BFF Jesse Owens.

Barton appears to be a genuine Arizona loonypants of the first order; in addition to the Hitler stuff, she posted a brief catalogue of gripes against what she thinks That Man is up to:

"While the POTUS continues to punish the American people; he keeps open his golf course, he keeps open Camp David, and he retains his and his wife's excessive staff and stable of Czars! I'll bet he has kept in service his 3 food tasters!!!"

The golf course thing, by the way, is a convenient myth -- the main reason the golf course at Andrews AFB is still open is because it's funded by user fees, not the federal budget.

But of course all the rest of that stuff, especially the three food tasters, is totally true.

In another Facebook message, Barton buys into the myth that Obama has threatened to arrest Catholic priests who offer Communion to troops during the shutdown. No, but who cares, it sounds scary, and lots of conservatives have blogged about it, so it must be real.

But what really marks Barton as a full-on whackaloon, of course, is her belief that county sheriffs have the authority to arrest or block the power of federal officials, which is one of those fringe legal ideas popular in the sovereign citizens/wacko-"constitutionalist" territory of the  wingnutosphere. After posting the "De Fuhrer" message, Barton added this helpful suggestion:

In AZ have you considered asking your county elected sheriff if they are considering revoking the arrest powers (that they granted in the first place) to federal agents operating within their county? Your elected sheriff has this authority. Phone your sheriff and ask them.

Wonkette would like to extend its sympathies to the staff at county sheriffs' offices, since they probably will be fielding a lot of irate phone calls today. And we would like to congratulate Brenda Barton on her shiny new nomination for Wonkette's coveted Legislative Shitmuffin of the Year Award.

The GOP-controlled Senate held a sham vote for the Green New Deal Tuesday. It was an entirely political spectacle. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wanted to publicly divide Democrats and rally the conservative base while depressing the liberal one. McConnell only cares about power and the fossil fuel donors who keep him in it. He's a cynical sack of garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who co-sponsored the Green New Deal, actually believes in things. It annoys her when Republicans can only manage weak-ass political stunts in response to climate change, which is both a real and a serious threat. During a House committee hearing prior to the Senate's travesty of a mockery of a sham vote, "Real World" alum and Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy basically dismissed environmentalism as an "elitist" pursuit.

DUFFY: If you're a rich liberal from maybe New York or California, [the Green New Deal] sounds great because you can afford to retrofit your home or build a new home that has zero emissions, that's energy efficient.

The current president is a billionaire from New York, but Republicans are still pushing the "limousine liberal" narrative. Yes, only "rich liberals" from the land of Jews and queers care about climate change. Meanwhile, rich conservatives go sport hunting and send rhinos back to God postage due.

It's getting more and more difficult these days, what with the never-ending stream of mass murders, to adamantly oppose common sense gun control laws. Even the NRA is taking a step back and keeping its dumb mouth shut when it comes to Democrat-led votes on background checks and other gun control measures.

And Republicans are not very happy about it.

Why? Because they've got a bit of a symbiotic relationship with the NRA, whom they count on to rally public opinion against gun control laws and also give them a bit of cover for voting against them. Democrats propose gun control laws, the NRA asks its members to call up their representatives to say they're against it, and then those representatives get to say, "It's just what the public wants." That's how things are supposed to work.

One anonymous Republican lawmaker from a "solidly red district" complained to the National Journal that without the NRA pushing its members to call and complain, he now gets an equal amount of calls from those who are for and against these laws, and that's just not right! How is he supposed to pretend that the public is opposed to gun control laws if the NRA is not out there trying to make it look that way?
