I remember decades ago when someone first came up with the phrase "Wingnut Welfare" to describe the big-pay-for-no-work "jobs" created for republican politicians who lost re-election or retired. The point was to ensure that they kept voting the way the filthy rich funders of Wingnut Welfare wanted them to vote in order to earn their post-politics no-work jobs.
That way, republicans - and certain "Democrats" - were never tempted to vote the way their constituents wanted them to vote. They could vote exactly the opposite of how their voters wanted, and even if they lost re-election, there was Wingnut Welfare to catch and hold them in comfort for life.
There’s a real time study of how a Republican Senator from West Virginia would vote versus Joe Manchin, and the impact on her election chances, and no one’s saying Shelley Capito is in danger of losing her seat for acquitting Trump twice, voting against the American Rescue Plan, not supporting BBB, etc.
What policies people say they support doesn’t influence how they vote. Nobody, at best, cares about potential benefits that might happen, if legislation is passed and at worst will panic on what they might lose is things change, when it comes time to vote. Whatever motivates people to vote the way they do sure isn’t about good public policy.
Patriot used to be such an honorable thing to be called. Now, they have turned it into a phrase given to white nationalists, homophobes, anti science and anti health care c*nt monkeys. It's like the brown shirts in 1936 Germany....
Houseboat Joe should at the very least give Senators Warnock and Ossoff very nice Christmas gift baskets as a way to say "thank you" for making him the most important member of the Senate for corporate America and the 1%.
Yeah, Bibi is running scared. I don't have anything nice to say about Bibi, but I'm pretty sure he eats punks like TFG (and especially Jared) for breakfast.
Needs Moar Weird Caps.
Correct. He uses them as a proxy for coal company owners.
"Evil penguin?" Classic!
I still haven't heard WHAR this religious objections. Where are they from, the Church of Me?
If they want a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate, they're gonna have to prove they've never taken a Tylenol. Fuck these people.

"No ticket."
Obama won 59.35% of the vote in the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary, in 2012. Perennial go nowhere candidate, Keith Judd, won 40.65%.
JFC this country is a mess.
