Ugh, a reminder that Rand Paul exists. And right before lunch.

I hate Republicans. There, I said it. If they all died today, the planet and humanity would improve a million percent instantly. And I hate that the elephant is the symbol of their stupid, hate-driven cult. Elephant are amazing, brilliant, sensitive animals. Republicans are fucking scumbags.

Every so often, a friend of mine quotes a thing which might conceivably be Monty Python, though I don't recognize it: "Sergeant-Major, take that man outside and shoot him, would you, please?"

Gosh, why does my memory surface that now?

I hate that Republicans are eager to force people into having kids they can't afford, and then also eager to cut funding for food for those people and their kids. Sadistic is the only way I can interpret that.

TFG's net worth is a negative number - He's over leveraged and has been for decades. If the Trump companies were forced to liquidate tomorrow there would be a lot creditors left standing with empty hands.

For every shutdown the GOPers attempt take a year off their Congressional pension and wipe out their health benefits.

If the Federal government shuts down when do the cockroaches in Congress stop getting checks? If the answer is immediately, then fuck it, shut it down. If the answer is never, then can I not file my taxes because the IRS is shut down? Is there any fucking silver lining to these people still breathing?

Oh is it that time of the year again (yeah I know it happens more than once a year, but man!)?

The FarQMAGA Party would not be the FarQMAGA party if they didn't try to shut down the government at least once or twice a year.

I will only be satisfied if a national monorail network is included in the budget.

Let them shut it down. I know it sounds cruel, but these fucktards need to feel some pain.

Americans, if they cared about feeding kids and good sense, wouldn't vote for Republicans. Look at what the extremists about them do.

And it's also why when Americans give these bomb-throwers a majority, shittiness happens and their Speakers have a short shelf-life.

Remember, just a few years ago gun nuts forced the government to allow people declared totally and permanently disabled under strict Social Security rules and not capable of handling their financial benefits to own guns. So doing the same with vets with severe PTSD or psychosis sounds like something the Republicans would push for. They put the nuts in gun nuts.
