Would you believe me if I told you it could get worse than Lauren Boebert? Would you believe me if I said Sarah Palin wasn’t really that far out there? No? Well, friends, if that’s your response, what that tells me is that you haven’t seen the Bimbo’s Bimbo in action. Kate Arrington is her name and she is beyond description.
Just listen.
She even makes Mellissa Carone look good.
Trump’s endorsed candidate to primary “RINO traitor” Rep. Nancy Mace in SC, at the Trump rally today, says she has 4 priorities if elected: 1. Fire Fauci, 2. Abolish Dept of Ed, 3. Impeach Biden, and 4. Open Hunter Biden’s laptop. pic.twitter.com/THcjXBbfzt

Is anybody running the Republican party? is there such a thing as quality control? Is there such a thing as common sense, forget common decency, let’s just go for street smarts and an IQ of 100, and I don’t think this broad has either.
There isn’t a lot of information on her. She dropped out of college but then somehow went to work for the Department of Defense as a “highly qualified expert” (this is coming out of Wikipedia, which is all I can find right now) and then she had a kerfuffle of some sort, which caused the Department to place her on leave and suspend her security clearance in 2021 “due to allegations of unauthorized disclosure of classified information from a military intelligence agency and misuse of office.”
Great. So she’s minimally qualified and crooked. Perfect Trump candidate.
She ran against Mark Sanford in the primary in 2018 after Trump had a nasty public split with Sanford. Sanford dared to be critical of Trump. Arrington won the primary but lost the race and now she is back, to primary Nancy Mace.
Another uneducated fool who wants to tear apart the educational system, which is on life support as it is. The GOP’s new slogan should be, “There is no low we won’t go” because that’s the message they’re sending with these outre, bizarro world candidates.
I love when all these Republicans go around boasting their ardent defense of the 2nd Amendment but, apparently, not a one of them has actually read any other part of the Constitution (or passed a simple basics American Civics class).
For starters, Fauci is a civil servant and CANNOT be fired without (A) cause and (B) from outside the National Institutes for Health or the Dept of Health and Human Services. Even if the head of those agencies did seek to remove him, they would have to describe the alleged infraction(s) and he would be able to respond to the allegation(s) and fight the effort to fire him. So, that’s Strike One for Mace.
Next, abolishing the Dept of Education has been a key dream of most Republicans since the Dept of Health, Education and Welfare was split up. But none of them ever quite figure out what they’re going to do about the PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE. But the other key point that they ignore is that, the Dept of Education has a budget of about $92 billion for FY2022 (representing less than 1% of the total national budget) so what’s their REASON for abolishing it? Well, other than ensuring that the Feds can’t make sure that the people are educated; if the states are left to their own devices, we run the risk (that the GOP aspires to) of having a population that doesn’t have enough education to realize when they’re being screwed over until it’s too late. Obviously, Ms Mace is looking to make sure everyone’s dumber than she is. So, Strike Two for Mace.
Thirdly, impeachment requires actual charges be brought against the official facing impeachment. You don’t get to call for impeaching Biden just because your dolthead was impeached twice (and since he won’t be removed from office–again, a two-thirds majority is necessary in the Senate and even if the GOP manages some major upset and wins EVERY SINGLE Senate race this year, they still won’t have a 2/3 majority (there are 34 Democrats who aren’t running this plus 2 independents) but the odds of the GOP winning all the available seats would mean the Party would actually have to pull some major upsets (the major ratings surveys–Cook, Inside Elections, Sabato, Real Clear Politics) have EIGHT races as “solid” or “safe” Democratic (and the Dems only have 14 seats to defend; the GOP have 21 thanks to a special election in Oklahoma). But, this rhymes-with-witch needs reminding (as do pretty much every GOPer in Congress or running for Congress) that Trump was impeached the first time due to his attempt to EXTORT A FOREIGN COUNTRY by withholding military aid that had already been approved to get that country to “find” dirt on the family member of a political opponent. (That country, of course, has been in the news recently, a country whose name rhymes with an appropriate nickname for Trump, “pooh-brain.” Since Ms Mace is soooo intelligent, I’ll let her figure that out.) Strike Three for Ms Mace.
And, lastly, unless Hunter Biden became a government employee in the past year or so, his laptop is NONE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S BUSINESS. Unless Ms Mace is willing to let the Feds take a look at HER laptop (and, as a member of Congress, she wouldn’t really have much choice in the matter since her every move becomes a matter of PUBLIC RECORD). And, unless Hunter Biden is accused of some ACTUAL Federal crime, again, his laptop and all his other records are none of the government’s business. And, Congress cannot accuse a private citizen of a crime (nor can it even call for a private citizen to be investigated). ALL the actions that Congress brought against the Trumps began while they were involved with the government (and that was largely because Daddy gave them access to him and his office) but most of the actions the Trump famiglia is facing are NOT Federal matters but, rather, STATE matters. So, since three strikes is an out in baseball and Ms Mace has four strikes against her, I guess that means the umpire gets to eject her from the game entirely.
I am beginning to wonder if eliminating the Department of Education is becoming a racist dog whistle. Ever since Brown v. Board states in the south have supposedly had integrated public education, along with many northern cities that have defacto segregation. Some rancor is because segregation issues are enforced through D of E enforcement of Brown as well as programs such as Title 1 which serves children from low income backgrounds.
Of course, it is. Hell, down here in Klan land they wanted to eliminate public schools completely after desegregation. The courts wouldn’t let them.
Don’t wonder. I have been watching this for many years and I haven’t tied this together into a coherent theory yet because I am not smart enough. I was a hippie in the early ’60’s and ’70’s and I watched with horror as they turned to fundamentalist religion in the ’80’s. I didn’t understand how people with minds could go that way. I think it was the strain of realizing that they had to make it on their own that scared them. Many of them turned to growing marijuana and made the marijuana grown illegally but supported by the churches the most popular in the world. And as that boom continued the growers and their children moved to other drugs to deal with the stress of what they were doing, cocaine, speed, heroin, fentanyl. But the money was great, the $100 bill economy. There was and is millions of dollars stashed in the ground and any other hiding place human ingenuity could come up with. Most, however, couldn’t figure out how to move it to the mainstream. Churches were a good place to move it, however and it was how the preachers gauged success. But, of course, the lawyers moved in and created their little corporations and used their political power to create medical marijuana and dispensaries. And the money flowed to all the players and it was good. But people got arrested and their money taken and their property taken and they all decided that legalizing the whole deal was what was needed. Small operators never seem to understand how things work in a “free” market. They do not understand that when people with real money see a way to make more, the first thing they do is clear out the markets so the creators of it, cannot survive economically. And that is what happened. So much product was provided that the price fell out of the market. There go the little guys unless they continue their black markets. Government is happy because they now get tax revenue and now have someone to blame for the environmental destruction caused by growing and the water issues. Of course, no one looks at the societal issues of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, elder abuse, child abuse and the deaths created by all this. And they young, they are the worst because they now feel entitled to easy money and all the benefits that entails, travel, new trucks and access to that which the rich usually only have access. And part of that entitlement is that they resent the taxes and the competition and anyone or anything that stands in their way. The blacks are an easy target and the old incipient racism rises up again and with it Christianity comes charging in and blaming the other religions and races for the position that whites now find themselves. The whites begin moving to places like rural Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, Nevada and many other states. Of course, the rich and well off displace the poor and those just hanging on. And poor whites, being the tools of the rich and the most racist of all, begin voicing their right wing opinions and getting the stupid and the crazy elected. The split between rural and urban becomes exacerbated and people like Trump, the ultimate petty thief, step in to stir the pot and the angry and the stupid support them. And they become Nazis and feel righteous in their own beliefs.. These are just some of the pieces that I see and how some them fit together and these are the pieces in my area. I am sure there are unique pieces in other areas that I am not aware but it would sure be nice to have input on all this with a better minds than mine.
If only someone COULD eject her!
Kate Arrington is her name not Mace.
Now you surely don’t expect Don John to endorse anyone smarter than him?
if the states are left to their own devices, we run the risk (that the GOP aspires to) of having a population that doesn’t have enough education to realize when they’re being screwed over until it’s too late.
This is exactly what’s been going on every time we’ve had an R president. Demean teachers, cut funding, dumb down the population and we get an orange idiot for president because all that matters to dumb people is someone who can pretend to know what they’re doing, can brag with the best of them and who know barely more than they do about diplomacy, world order, economics or subtlety.
And what the hell is the obsession with Hunter Biden and his damn laptop? T’s spawn stole from a charity, leveraged dad’s position to get goodies from China (good when they get something, bad when they need to blame something), make deals with murdering Saudis to bail out a bad real estate investment and on and on. I’m so sick of R hypocrisy!
They are already too stupid to live. It up to those of us with a brain that works to fight and fix it.
She forgot stripping those former slaves & their descendants of citizenship. Mandating chasity belts for all females 13 & over. Sending us old folks back to work, eliminating social security. Banning all books not approved by the ‘committee’. Establishing the death penalty for anyone on the committee’s list. Reestablishing God’s kingdom by appointing his messiah, DT as the permanent ruler until he appoints his ordained successor.
Oh, they are working on it, racism and personal greed are great motivators especially when tied to God.
Joseph—-I read your comment and have one question: aren’t your comments directed toward Kate Arrington, not Nancy Mace (whom she is running against)?
It makes me despair, there always seems to be another wacko in line. I read the other day that the lead in the gas in the 60’s and 70’s impacted our brains. Did they all have to turn into Republicans too stupid to live?
We LOVE how President Trump and all the America First candidates live rent free in your heads ?
Read the United States Constitution please
I read it in my Constitutional Law class in law school. Anytime you want to discuss what’s in there, feel free to drop by here in the comments. It isn’t every day I have the opportunity to say hello to an SNL cold open come to life.
BTW, are you still doing Facebook broadcasts from under your bed? I caught your act and wrote a piece about it. https://politizoom.com/live-from-her-desk-under-the-bunk-bed-mellissa-carone-reveals-schools-teach-kids-to-hate-their-parents-govt-out-to-eliminate-white-people/
Good luck with your Mark Of The Beast platform.
And be sure to say “hi” to Mike Lindell for me.
Oh you went to law school is your argument. So did I. And I’m a lawyer. Abolishing the DOE is a pretty reasonable position if you believe in the 10th amendment.
I didn’t go to law school. I do however derive some enjoyment from reading through various laws and court rulings on various matters. Still, I know that’s not the same as being a lawyer, or someone trained in the law who for one reason or another didn’t take the exam to be admitted to a state Bar. Like others of my generation I was however required to pass civics back in school (before there was such a thing as the Dept. of Education, which at the time was a mere division within the Dept. of Health, Education & Welfare) in both Jr. High and High School. Sadly, that’s something that disappeared from curriculums around the country. I guess with its massive seventy billion or so budget maybe the Dept. of Education isn’t exactly the overwhelming toxic leviathan you make it out to be.
One can as you do cite the 10th Amendment in combination with the “the word education doesn’t appear anywhere in the Constitution”, ergo the Dept. of Education is unconstitutional. Of course, others make the case that the Commerce Clause and the Taxing & Spending clause do actually provide for funding the department. You’re a lawyer and I assume you know better but how often have you heard the term “entitled to a jury of peers?” That never appears in the Constitution. What about something else that’s been a hot topic for years now, and has (apparently) Constitutional “textualists” who as far as I can tell are all conservatives like yourself up in arms? MARRIAGE. That’s right. Whether between a man and a woman as according to conservatives in general (I won’t say all, I know staunch conservatives who like me are agnostic or atheist) is prescribed by GOD (another word, which like CHRISTIAN, or even Jew/Judaism – that “Judeo-Christian ‘heritage'” conservatives love to tout) doesn’t appear anywhere in the text of the Constitution. Oh you say, well it doesn’t say such things specifically it’s “alluded” to. Kind of flushes the whole Texualist “if it doesn’t say it in the black & white text’ argument down the toilet! Or if hung on to creates a squishy watered down mess in the bowl where people can see the face of their Jeebus or whatever else they want to imagine. But the real fun is pointing out the HYPOCRISY of conservatives who insist “well, it says so in other ways” when the word PRIVACY comes up in Constitutional law.
I could keep going, and I’m sure you could as well. Debate is a healthy thing sometimes. But I’ll add one final point. You note you are a lawyer and I’ll extend you the courtesy of assuming you are not only competent but good at your profession. However, I’ll guaran-goddamn-tee you that you know and maybe have been forced to work with or against other lawyers you know in your heart don’t deserve to hold a license to practice law. And maybe have had or known paralegals, or even secretaries that know more law than many lawyers! And, as we sometimes see even lawyers who once had earned solid, if not great legal reputations can turn into WTF? happened to them clown-car shitshow idiots making filings that cause you to cringe, and/or would cause a professor at a law school to use to give the class a fun session full of incredulous laughter.
States rights is usually where the tyrants go. It was the main argument in favor of slavery. Small minds interpret as license for local yokels to do whatever they want, however impractical or immoral.
Go help Mellissa with her campaign. She said she needed “about 200” people to count the votes on her election alone to make sure it was honest. More comedy coming our way.
His “handle” says a lot. He must be SOME kind of awesomely tough guy! I on the other hand sign my work. HE makes it clear (as he proclaims his credentials) he’s afraid to.
At least she can name the four goals.
I almost expected her fourth agenda item to be “Oops!”
