Those cowardly craven bastards are retiring after they did their best to keep the gerrymandering juggernaut going. By the time the shite hits the fan in their respective states, they'll be well insulated and retiring with great benefits and pensions, too. Even more work for the country to claw back a voice for women, POC, LGBTQ+, and the disabled. But first, we have to impeach those bastards on the SCOTUS and/or expand the court to at least 13. Corrupts sons o' bitches! FUCK THEM TO MARS AND BEYOND. And Democrats, don't think you'll have our full support for not doing enough to prevent this or at least raise the alarm over the years. Stay mad about it!

I assume that Trever's only seen the sights a Nehls can see from Texas, right?

Really love the confidence it takes for a guy to retire in disgrace and say, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a spare in the trunk.” Nothing says “healthy democracy” like swapping out one Trump-addled twin for the other like they’re AA batteries in a fascist smoke alarm.

Texas deserves better than the Patty Duke reboot nobody ordered. But sure, let’s pretend Trever with two e’s isn’t just Troy wearing his formal church-attending khakis. The MAGA talent pool is so thin they’re literally Xeroxing goobers now.

My father fought in North Africa, Italy, and Austria during WWII, and his Combat Infantryman Badge was his proudest possession. That some idiot should get it by mistake and then actually wear it...that makes me sick.

But also, I'm so happy about the appearance of Patty Duke and the Doublemint jingle in this piece 😊

Ta, Marcie. What, you've got something against "Which twin has the Toni?" Nah, you're probably just too young to have seen or heard of it.

Speaking of Hawley, what's he been up to lately? He hasn't been racking up the stupids at his usual rate.

Soooooo many rats jumping off a sinking ship, hoping for the best in an uncaring, unforgiving ocean.

LOL who am I kidding? They'll get absorbed into the Right Wingnut O' Sphere in media, "education", totally the Lobbyist Industrial Complex, and no doubt writing books they or their people will have to buy and donate to keep the Best Sellers List also-rans counts high enough.

We've said it here (others much better than me and Wonkette core authors; not the royal we) that this is the absolute stupidest (and I'll personally add: greediest) timeline EVER

Oh boy. That’s the same House district that was once represented by Ron Paul and Tom DeLay. It’s to the southwest of Houston, in Ft Bend and Brazoria counties. It is pretty much crazy land out there.

Dulles Airport was named for John Foster Dulles, Ike's Secretary of State, not his relatively sane brother, CIA head Allen Dulles. Actually, J.F. Dulles was such a loose cannon that renaming the airport for Trump might actually be a step up.
