Republicans hate America 21: Drunken Van Orden strikes again at the SOTU

Republicans have a substance abuse problem.  In the wake of President Biden’s rousing State of the Union speech, conservatives decided to claim Biden was on drugs.

Now, understand whenever Republicans make an accusation it’ always a confession of their own behavior.  During Trump's maladministration it's been revealed that the White House was awash in speed, Xanax, and other drugs and former Admiral Ronny Jackson, was a pill-mill Doctor handing out prescription drugs like candy.  Of course"Admiral" Jackson is now Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson in case you didn't know, and is no longer an Admiral having been quietly demoted in July 2022 due to a scathing Inspector General's report, which was buttressed by Jackson drunken and amphetamine filed attack on Texas deputies in August of 2023.

Like Ronny Jackson, Wisconsin Republican Derrick Van Orden is a mean drunk.  Now, there's a difference between an alcoholic and a drunk.  Mother Jones claims Derrick Van Orden has an anger management problem but, by Van Orden's own admission he's embraced being an obnoxious, booze filled raging asshole drunk throughout his life.

So, this year it was Drunken Van Orden's turn to be a disrespectful, obnoxious heckler during President Biden's State of the Union shouting "Lies" and claiming the speech could have been given by “could have been delivered by Joseph Stalin or Mao Zedong or President Xi.”

Unable to criticize the substance of President Biden's speech they focus on style.  Of course, besides being boorish, Republicans have nothing to offer the American people so they have to heckle, they can’t offer up concrete policy ideas because the only thing Republicans are offering up is hatred and bigotry.

Derrick Van Orden was a Navy Seal.  I wonder how his XO would have handled Van Orden drunkenly acting out in unit formation or during training ops.  Of course, Drunken Van Orden has an extremely high opinion of his leadership and moral grounding having written Book of Man: A Navy Seal’s Guide to the Lost Art of Manhood. According to the book’s description on Amazon, “Stories of fist fighting, fishing, and driving fast cars are all interwoven with the principles of what used to be known as basic manhood, but has now become a lost art.”

What mean Drunk Van Orden calls manhood has been recognized as vicious and vile bullying since The Great Santini, and while Republicans may confuse being an abusive asshole with "manhood" Americans recognize this type of behavior is unacceptable.  Hopefully, Wisconsin voters will recognize the same this November.
