And sheâs not the only one!! Thereâs an exodus going on and it wonât stop anytime soon!! If âtheyâ kill the stimulus bill, the âIâm outta hereâ will get worse!! Maybe the republiKKKlans should look up the word â SEPPUKU!!
âHereâs you signâŠâ (With thanks to Bill Engvall)
Carmen â and Scott: Is that a threat or a promise?
(Old redneck joke when I lived in the Florida panhandle)
And if youâre done with the Q-Publican Party, just where are you going to go? Libertarians and the Tea Party are part and parcel of how the Republican Party lost its way.
Maybe you can do some cartoons about Conservative Values.
Be sure to compare and contrast those Conservative Values with the characteristics of Fox âNewsâ and other so-called âconservativeâ media,
and,
the Conservative Values expressed by Republican (Party Of Trump) legislators, especially those depicted in their presidential platform and their legislative âagendaâ.
.
Donât ignore the attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States.
Two days ago, I said censure for Carmen wasnât enough for this gang. I was wrong. Whatâs next, induct her into the QAnon army to storm the Capitol again on March 4, er, April 1?
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly decried âcancel culture,â but on Thursday night, he proved once again that heâs one of its biggest practitioners.
Trump released an angry statement decrying a number of Republican figures for being disloyal to him and called on Fox News to ditch longtime contributor Karl Rove, who he labeled a âRINO.â
âKarl Rove is all talk and no action!â Trump wrote. âFox News should get rid of Karl Rove and his ridiculous âwhiteboardâ as soon as possible!â
Trump was apparently triggered by a Wall Street Journal column in which Rove criticized the former presidentâs CPAC speech as âdivisive, controversial and embittered.â
âThere was no forward-looking agenda,â the longtime GOP strategist wrote. âSimply a recitation of his greatest hits.â
Shortly after 3 p.m. on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote to kick off Senate debate on Democratsâ $1.9 trillion relief bill.
After the clerk began to read the 628-page legislation, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a customary request to waive the reading of the bill.
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson rose to object. As I write this, the clerk is just getting started on reading aloud the table of contents of a piece of legislation.
Republicans think the full recitation could chew up 10 hours. Senate clerks think they can do it in five.
The objection was the first salvo in a wave of dilatory stunts that Johnson and his Republicans have planned over the next few days as they try to do something theyâve been wholly unsuccessful at so far:
âŠturning public opinion against Democratsâ popular legislation, which Republicans wish to frame as less a COVID relief bill than a raid on the Treasury for unrelated Democratic priorities.
Johnson says that heâs submitting the Senate clerks to this trial of vocal-cord durability not to be a jerk, but because the âAmerican people deserve to know whatâs in it.â
Itâs hard to think of a less effective way to inform the American people about whatâs in a bill than by forcing an hours-long recitation of incomprehensible legislative language on the Senate floor, but thatâs the message.
â
This time, however, Republicans are talking tough about a far more grueling process.
Asked how many amendment votes heâd like to see, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said, âIâm hoping for infinity.â Indiana Sen. Mike Braun wouldnât quite go all the way to infinity, but he said there would be many more votes than there were in the âwarm-up sessionâ last month.
The Republican Party is at an interesting cross roads which oddly enough probably doesnât really have anything to do with any of the nonsense that is being cast about. It is going back to the basic âdrain the swampâ discussion. The biggest area of contention has to do with whether Republican politicians are âinsidersâ or not â and in seeing how Boehner, McConnell and to a much less competent level Lindsey Graham have âoperatedâ the system over the last decade it is becoming obvious who those âinsidersâ are. Inherently people have become distrustful of such insiders as focusing on maintaining their own power vs. following Conservative principles. Iâve got some popcorn and a cold beverage set aside to watch this play out.
âThatâs it! Iâm out of here. Off to find another group almost exactly like this one, but with different people in it, and one day when it joins back up with the old group I guess Iâll be okay with that too.â
Itâs how the Trump version of the GOP works: no matter how loyal youâve been in the past, if they find it useful (or fun) to throw you under their bus they certainly willâŠ
I certainly hope you are sincere with your âIâm outta here!!!âPretending that you are something youâre not and extolling thoughts contrary to a majority of those you pretend to be is loathsome.You are no more than some privileged, bowtie-wearing Doonesberry wannabe.Please, leave.

Oh, oh, Carmen. You just escalated it to Double Secret Probation.
Must be the Pennsylvania GOP chairman running the meeting. They are not asking you to do good or follow your conscience or âanything like thatâ.

I remember when Stantis hated Hillary Clinton and helped to elect Trump.
That was when the Seattle Times dropped his strip.
