For years -- no, decades -- I've wondered how the reThuglican party is able to find and recruit white MAGAettes to be their candidates for governor, senator, and representatives. Somehow they manage to find the worst of the worst and the bottom of the barrel -- you know, that filth you find when you lift up the barrel and the bottom has rotted out -- and then get them elected!

Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee

Kay Ivey of Alabama

Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas

Kristi Noem of N. Dakota

Kim Reynolds of Iowa

Katie Britt of Alabama

Jodi Ernst of Iowa

Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi

Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming

Shelley Moore Capito of WV

and the runners-up Susan Collins of ME and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

To say nothing of Elise Stefanik, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Victoria Spartz . . .

How do they do it?

The worst of the horribles all trying to out do each other in performative idiocy to please dear leader DUMP is somewhat amusing but also sad, as that Senate seat could be held by a smart competent person.

I live in Tennessee. When somebody here does something cruel and unusually stupid we call it “doing a Blackburn.”

Love ya, Dok, but Marsha Blackburn is worth exactly two words: Fuck Off

The dumbest, most pathetic bullshit huffed out by a squirrel brained moron...

Just when I think I've heard the dumbest GOP complaint... .

OT (a bit) here's a link to an excellent Philadelphia Inquirer column about why trump's racist portrayal of the Obamas is an attack on all of us. Especially during Black History month.

Gee, what about the group of people who flew to Miami a few months back for UFC fights? Let's probe that.

Marsha Blackburn is the FUCKING worst. I know because that sh!t stain is one of my senators. She's a bootlicking embarrassment.

Hey Scalia Thomas Alito et al go on Koch Bros picnics. Eff off Blackburn.

Please tell me Marsha Blackburn doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the gubernatorial election.

#SwampMarsha is so worried when Tubby Tumorville leaves her with the dumbest fucknut in the Senate mantle.

That's why she's running for governor.

Yeah, as a Republican governor she’ll always have Abbott.
