I love the smell of Republican unity in the morning. It smells like 180 proof chaos. Imagine the pushmi pullyou with several more heads growing out its sides and you get the picture. Kevin McCarthy made an impassioned speech about freeing Cuba. Ronna McDaniel loved it and retweeted it. Then Paul Gosar came in and crapped all over it.
The Republican Party stands with the people of Cuba fighting for freedom!https://t.co/MswlDoCDeV

Yep, the Republican party hears you, except for the ones who don’t give a rats ass about you. Here’s what that sounds like.
America is under a sustained attack on its sovereignty with open borders, against its culture by race hustlers, against our public fisc, and against our political/medical dissidents with a capricious legal system. For the love of everything holy Cuba can wait. Help America First https://t.co/MnBoG3xdGB

Cuba can wait! HAHA! There’s a unified message for you!
We don’t have time to deal with communist oppression right off our shores. Paul Gosar wants you to know there are more important things, a neo Nazi movement, an anti-vaxxer movement, a Big Lie movement, the manufactured crisis at the border. He seems outraged that McDaniel and McCarthy are worried about this trivia, an oppressed people looking to throw off the yoke of communism.
This is just getting started. Think of this as a garden hose spout that turns into a geyser.
And just to tweak your memory, Gosar’s name has been mentioned as Trump’s 2024 running mate. Please don’t lose sight of that.
For all the people who thought Sarah Palin couldn’t possibly be beaten, ever, as a lowest point in candidate quality. Here is further proof that the Refascists took that as a challenge.
It’s also why you should never say things can’t get worse.
I’ve said before that it didn’t take me going into the Corps at age 26 to learn that no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse!
My dad came home early one night early in my college years to sit with me as I read a delightfully funny article in Scientific American about the infamous Murphy’s Law. If they were to do an update for the times we are now it, instead of funny it would be frightening. I’ve forgotten most of my advance math so the symbols don’t leap to mind to properly express it in the form of a math equation. Let me start with something we all know. Taking a number and “squaring” it – such as the number 2 squared which is written as the number 2, with another and smaller 2 at the high right position. 2 squared is 4, 3 squared is 9 and so on. The “solution grows at a geometric rate (think about those first two, and by the time you get to ten which is the first two digit number the square is the first THREE digit number), but when it comes to the snowballing of shit going wrong it’s beyond definition. It is literally impossible to define the number infinity as it goes on forever. If memory serves the symbol for it in equations is the small letter i. How bad can things get? As far as I’m concerned the answer is infinity to the power of infinity!
Just a note, “i” in math is used to represent the “imaginary unit” as in the expression i² = -1 (read as “i squared equals -1” or “i multiplied by itself equals -1”).
The symbol used for infinity is a sideways 8 (as ∞–if that displays correctly).
Gosar is a fearmonger as well as a white supremacist. He can’t stand the idea that the world isn’t how he thinks it should be, and he hates that it never was that way.
Not true. It was not too horribly long ago, mid 20th century edging to the late, when people of color and women were “kept in their place”, we not only did not have the moniker LGBT but people living such lifestyles were imprisoned/institutionalized when caught, and white men were definitely the chieftains/kings. Gosar not only remembers it, he might have been old enough to benefit from it. It was only the fifties and sixties when this was still the norm in the U.S. Even the seventies and eighties weren’t too much better although you could see the sea change coming. My sister was studying engineering in the eighties and was accused of “looking for a husband” in the engineering program (often after she wrecked the curve for the other students lmao) never mind that can be done much easier in the humanities program. Even in graduate school in the early nineties she had to take an awful lot of flack from the other males in her courses.
No P.J., it used to be the way he wants it to be again. I just want to make good and damned sure it doesn’t become that way again: I have a daughter.
Now that King Mango The Last has been deposed from the Gilded Throne, the other GQPers are wanting it for themselves. I repeat: there is no Republican leadership left. Ronna McDaniel is every bit the opportunistic windsock her uncle Mitt is. McConnell has devolved into the doddering, senile old man his caucus keeps accusing Uncle Joe of being. And McCarthy? A weakling who wants the Speaker’s gavel despite what holding it has done to every Republican since Newt.
I thought that the whole community with Congressional offices, the Administration and so-on, took an oath of office to defend the Constitution, all under the rule of law, it seems the Republicans all hale from some distant Island of in-bred diseased and putrid Zombies … And have not yet found the brains they need …
So sad, all the complicit Republicans should spend a few years in the building with many doors.
Do they (Republicans) think we should invade Cuba? I guess they have forgotten about The Bay of Pigs. Why that Arizona fool is contradicting the traditional lip service Republicans give Cubans in Homestead and Miami is beyond me. He looks sick. Maybe he won’t be around much longer.
Here’s what’s chilling about this, to me: in the Before Times, if the U.S. saw what was happening in Cuba, the message would have been, “AMERICA stands with you!” Now Republicans virtue signal while implying that ONLY Republicans support Cuba. Horrifying.
