Republicans hate America 5: Speaker Shutdown Solipsism

As we all know Republicans view Government as a mechanism to harm as many of those people as possible.  Government is not a positive good in their minds but, a powerful tool which must be weaponized by Republicans to immiserate the lives of the downtrodden and afflict the afflicted. 

But, Republicans since Nixon knew the way to do this was The Madman Theory; in which Tricky Dick would try to convince overseas adversaries that Nixon was a volatile pyscho and irrational lunatic so they'd better not provoke him.  Modern Republicans have simply adopted this and applied the lessons learned abroad at home.

Of course, the American conservative movement has been stewing in noxious rightwing agitprop for 50 years so the useful idiot Republican voters are no longer merely the foot soliders of the Reactionary movement to destroy the United States and replace it with a Fascist NeoConfederate simulacrum of America but, are know the leaders both philosophically and politically.

In reality, Republicans are domestic abusers who always, always, always couch their abuse of America in the framing of Look what you made me do.  Thus, it should be of little surprise that Republicans, Rightwing Media, and Squeaker McCarthy himself Blame the Demmycrats! 

Conservatives know to blame "Congress" or
the Democrats for Republican Actions

"Do I regret the Democrats playing games with Jan. 6?  Yes,What they did to this institution, what they did to this building, was so wrong. I think today was a political decision by the Democrats, and I think the things they have done in the past hurt the institution. My fear is the institution fell today.”  - Kevin should be "institutionalized".

What a mendacious scumbag.  That Squeaker McCarthy conspired to throw a last-minute CR at the Democratic Party with the intention and expectation they would vote it down so he could Blame the Demmycrats! for the Government Shutdown and then when Hakeem Jeffries got the entire Democratic House to vote yes (save for Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley who just so happens to represent Ukrainian Village in Chicago) and after the Democrats voted in support of the CR, Qevin McCarthy went on the Sunday Talk Shows to Blame the Demmycrats! is stupid and beyond shamless and into the realm of quixotic idiocy.

And even before this McCarthy proved himself an untrustworthy scoundrel having just this year betrayed the debt ceiling limit deal with President Biden.  But, the idea that the Democratic Party owed it to Qevin McCarthy and the Institution to save him from Republican Perfidy after months, if not years of his despicable behavior, including but not limited to the Benghazi bullshit, his last 10 months of inept and villainous Speakership, and his FUCKING WHITE-WASHING of the Jan6th Insurrection is the peak of Both Sides Do It (but, the Democrats are worse) Corporate Media coverage.  

And the Democrats didn't say one word during the Republican Speaker Fight.  They let the American-Hating Republicans make the both sides of the argument for why McCarthy along with every other Republican Representative is terrible.  The Democratic Party is expected to be the adults in the room, even as McCarthy insults and blames them for everything and are thus expected to save him from his own actions and the actions of his Party. 

But, understand this is only going to get worse because the Republican Party doesn't "govern" especially not for the betterment of the American People.  No, the Republican Party is a fascist cabal whose job is too cut taxes and regulation on the Rich and Corporate Power and to inculcate hatred and violence towards minorities, immigrants, the LGBTQ community, liberals, teachers, non-christians and anyone else who stands in the way of the creation of the NeoConfederate Nation held aloft by the 3 legs of White Power, Fundamentalist religion, and Corporate Hegemony. 

Every Republican wants to steal Social Security

Even Flies know, 
this Guy's Full of Shit

Watch out, slick as shit Republicans have changed their rhetoric every so slightly, calling their plan to swindle Seniors and future Americans out of their Social Security by calling it Spending Reform.  Much of the Republican policy proposals consist entirely of repackaging shit that's become toxic and unfavorable with brand new name.  Hence, Entitlement Reform which polls poorly is now Spending Reform!  

But understand, when it comes to appealing to the American people Republicans don't believe their product needs to change just the way they present it.  And for years Republicans have wanted to eliminate everything which helps the American people because they want you poor, hungry, and desperate.  Ready and willing to accept any and all jobs and with no prospect of retirement.  Republicans want you to work from 18-65 and then die.  (If you really want to understand the rightwing lizard brain when it comes to how much Republicans hate people read the Heritage Link form 2019 about "reforming" Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Just Murderous.)

Will the Corporate Media have the stones to cover this honestly?  I don't think so, since the Corporate Media's job is to massage Republican perfidy into something that seems rational, normal, and acceptable.  Instead of accurately portraying Republican proposal the Corporate Media ties itself into rhetorical knots to make the plain outcome of Republican policies seem to be the opposite of what Republicans earnestly propose.

Republicans have insisted for years that they will eliminate Abortion Nationwide if given the chance.  The Republican Supremacist Court furthered that plan by aborting Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.  Up to and even after Sammy di Puzzi Alito and Ginni Thomas leaked the opinion the Corporate Media was gainsaying and poo-pooing anyone who pointed out the Republicans always argue in bad faith and are disingenuous with everything they say.  But, the Corporate Media always ignores Republican actions and insists on catapulting the Republican propaganda.  So, Republicans march forward to eliminate Women's reproductive freedom and rights.

Now that Abortion is tantamount illegal in numerous Republican States, Republicans have dropped their bullshit claim that Abortion is a matter best left to States to begin their push to get rid of Abortion everywhere in the United States permanently.  Republicans can advance their nationwide ban with confidence knowing the Media will never cover it until it's a fait accompli and then well I'm certain some phony rightwing outrage over Gay Transgender M&M's or WOKE US Navy aircraft carrier designs will dominate the news cycle.

Human Simulacrum Mike Pence is trying to jump-start his 2024 Presidential ambitions by vowing to steal Social Security,

“I think the day could come when we could replace the New Deal with a better deal. Literally give younger Americans the ability to take a portion of their Social Security withholdings and put that into a private savings account.”

This is lame idea is literally the W(orst POTUS Ever) plan of circa 2004-05, and was fervently what Republicans wanted to have happen in order to stave off the Republican Recession of 2007. Bush et al knew that by stealing social security and funneling it into Wall Street the Republican economic policy which always leads to ruin would have been pushed off for a few more years and fallen square onto a Democratic President's shoulders instead of ruining the last two years off Bush's Evil tenure of murder and mayhem. Instead Republicans crashed the economy as they always do and couldn't convince enough people that it wasn't their fault in 2008.

Now, we are seeing the Republicans pushing forward with the Debt Ceiling brinksmanship in order to get President Joe Biden to agree to cuts to the Social Safety Net, the elimination of Social Security, and the abolishment of another plank of the Progressive Era of the 20th century.

But, Qevin McCarthy has a problem in that Trump already sabotaged the Republican plan to steal Social Security and Republicans can't agree on what GAY WOKE Military budget items they wish to eliminate.  So, the Republicans are left with coming up with cheap lies about work and nebulous spending cuts.

"People come up to me, they actually want to work longer." - Republican Representative Rick Allen of Georgia said in January. Allen was part of craven 2022 Republican coven which proposed raising the retirement age to 70. Because Republicans want you to work and then die. They don't want you to "retire". Retirement is saved for the 1% not the hoi polloi 

Giant Texas asshole Jodey Arrington appealed to the Great Bipartisan Holy Grail of Tip O'Neil and Ronnie Raygun agreeing to devastate Social Security (If you'll recall back in 1981 Ronnie told America Social Security was on the verge of bankruptcy) in 1983 Budget talks and hopes to once again put a steak knife through America.  The New Republican House is primed with Regressive Trolls who think they can win this fight because they've no problems destroying America.  In fact, that's what they want to do.

Everybody hates Kevin (McCarthy) and Republicans hate America

This is a little harsh I don't hate the man.  Certainly, he's a spineless shameless sponge whose only ambition is too be Speaker of the House and he's politician of low cunning who is only making this play by aping more competent Republican villains. 

Additionally, McCarthy has the problem of flatly stating Republican machinations and doesn't possess the slightest skill at wrangling other members of his Party of Ghouls.

Recall McCarthy revealed he knew (and other Republicans knew too) that Trump (and Dana Rohrbacher) were being paid by Russia.

McCarthy went on to tell the press the Republican plan was to flog Benghazi to politically harm Hillary Clinton.  Sadly, this worked as the Corporate Media did it's job of amplifying and repeating Republican propaganda.

And as the January 6th committee was being formed, McCarthy made the disastrous decision to exclude Republicans from being on it thus allowing Liz Cheney and the Democratic Congresspersons the ability to really dig into the vast rightwing conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government on 01/06/21.

And even now, it's been clear and reported Kevin was willing to grovel and debase himself to the House Fascist Caucus offering so many unbelievable concessions those GQP nut jobs demanded absolute control in House and over him.  McCarthy's political skills being so weak his only tactic to win Speaker is to hold vote after voter after vote.  He's lost 6 votes for Speaker in two days with no signs of the Fascist Caucus weakening. 

In normal times and in a functioning Democratic Republic this would be a giant scandal and cause the collapse of the Republican Party but MAGA Republicans don't care.  In fact, a strong segment of the GQP is fine if the US House doesn't function at all for the next two years.  The Republicans have no vision, no agenda, no plan to help the American people, no policies, no platform.  Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.  And right now, they have no leadership either.  John Boehner couldn't corral and control the earlier iteration of Nihilists in Congress, McCarthy has no chance. So we're stuck with the direction less Republican controlled House for the next two years.

But, understand while the Republican Party has nothing resembling what any Patriotic American would call an agenda they are like a zombie horde; they plague the living and represent a real danger.  The Republican Party is an unserious conglomerate of bigots, fascists, criminals, thieves and terrorists.  So, they are a serious threat to the Nation.

Because Republicans plan on destroying the US Government and America and replacing these great United States with an unequal Nation with clear divisions along racial, religious, financial, and gender lines, where White Rich Christian Supremacy rules and everyone else is subject to the whim of Republican and Rightwing violence.

Republican Political Power flows from microphone through the barrel of a Gun.

"People should definitely arm themselves, I agree," Tucker Carlson and Christopher Rufo incite stochastic act of terror against the LGBTQ community.

Republicans and Rightwingers have declared War on Americans. Not rhetorical. Not symbolic. But, Acts of Terror and physical violence.

For the simple reason that political power for Republicans flows from the barrel of a gun.  Violence is the final arbiter of political authority to Republicans and Rightwingers.

This should have been clear when Republicans declared the January 6th insurrection, "Legitimate Political Discourse."

But, it's demonstrated time and again whether directly, as when the grandson of a Nazi at the urging of Lauren Boebert, Tucker Carlson, and Chaya Raichik takes his AR15 and murders suspected members of the LGBTQ community at Club Q, and indirectly when human marshmallow Kevin McCarthy declares Democratic Representatives Eric Swawell, Ilhan Omar, and Adam Schiff will be denied committee positions. Swawell, Schiff, and Omar receive an out-sized amount of death threats from conservatives. McCarthy is simply showing deference and acknowledgment that threats of violence and actual violence are the animating principle guiding Republicans.

Despicable right-winger Tim Pool is celebrating this Act of Terror at Club Q.  Like so many of his ilk, Pool reveals in the blood which flows from their discourse. Chaya Raichik is already back at demonizing people in Colorado in the same community in which one of adherents just shot 30 people.

Republicans animate their rightwing attack drones by Fear & Anger.  Groomers and Pedophiles.  Groomers and Pedophiles.  Groomers and Pedophiles.  Repetition.  Repetition.  Repetition.  And their followers absorb this repetition and become Angry.

It's what Republicans did to black people (CRIMINALS), leftists (DRUG ABUSERS), Latinos (ILLEGALS), Muslims (TERRORISTS), and originally Homosexuals but, now Trans persons (GROOMERS).  Every decade Republicans set off to demonize and destroy a group of marginalized or powerless people by, inflating them to a Nationwide threat and white reactionaries eagerly absorb the message of hate and seek out those people to harm through direct violence and the election of Republicans who use the power of the state to harm those communities. 

Rightwingers are going to murder you.  It's only a matter of time.  Stop pretending it's just heated rhetoric, stop pretending it's mental illness. It's Terrorism and it's designed to make certain people afraid for their lives, and win control of the Government so Rightwingers can then use the awesome power of the state to effect a Mass Murder program.

Chaya Raichik, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, Tim Pool, whomever, are going to incite more and more and more and more violence against LGBTQ persons until such time as they can then turn that violence against those who defend LGBTQ persons.  And then it's a coordinated state run campaign of genocide.

This is not a proclamation to be as brave as the Trans Woman and retired Army Major who tackled and beat the shit out of the 22 year rightwing domestic terrorist and grandson of a Nazi who shot up Club Q, but a declaration that you've got to be ready because Republicans and Rightwingers are telling each other to murder you.

sQueaker of the House Qevin McCarthy and Qrazy Qult of Qonservatives

"Bakersfield? Bakersfield! BAKERSFIELD!!!"

The Zombie Republican Party secured enough US House seats to be the majority in the 2022 elections.  Of course, Corporate Media and rightwing propaganda was working overtime before the election, predicting a 2010 60 seat blowout by Republicans, mainly, because the media's job is to get Republicans elected and make their fascist agenda palatable to the masses. However, when Americans vote, especially the Millennial Zoomer Generation, Republicans lose. Which is why you hear various rightwing assholes screaming about not letting 18-29 year olds vote anymore.

The final total of Republicans in the House is likely to be 219 or 220, including the odious Lauren Boebert. But, since no one likes, Kevin McCarthy it's not yet assured he'll be Speaker. The soulless GQP ghouls will demand the QAnon Platform of MAGA intolerance, oppression, bigotry, elimination of Civil Rights, and the enshrinement of Corporate Hegemony be accomplished immediately and McCarthy won't have any margin in the House.

Of course, the House Republicans are going to conduct all sorts of investigations. Hunter Biden will be blamed for all manner of things and Faux News is going to call for his arrest. But, really we shouldn't care. President Biden having learned appeasing and appealing to Republicans sense of duty is fool-hardy, apparently, has assembled a team to combat these frivolous attacks by Republican psychos. 

Also, remember what Republicans seek to do is to demonize Joe Biden for saying this to Hunter,

"It's Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I don't know what to do. I know you don't either, but I am here no matter what you need, no matter what you need, I love you." Joe Biden to Hunter in a voicemail from 2018.  There is no depths to Republican depravity and inhumanity.

But, besides the vindictive attacks on the Biden's, the House GQP will vote to disband the FBI, declare Afghanistan all Joe's fault, hold Dr Fauci responsible for Covid, and simply not pass any funding bills.  But, most troubling of all is how openly Republicans talk about repealing birth control and reducing women to sex slavery and second class citizen status. 

Because, understand the Republican Party has nothing to offer the American people; their entire platform is the diminution of rights, the reduction of the US standard living, the elimination of education, the retrograde movement of the United States back to an unfree Nation of Slavery and subjugation.

Let's Investigate every Mass Shooting as if it were Benghazi

Noted aphasia sufferer Republican Kevin McCarthy stated today, "Let’s be very clear: Benghazi is not political. It was created for one purpose and one purpose only: to find the truth on behalf of the families of the four dead Americans. Period."

Well, as we all know the current Benghazi Committee was created for the express purpose of hurting Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary R. Clinton. As McCarthy accidentally admitted last week,

"Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Cause she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen."

Ignoring the fact, that McCarthy has this odd Michele Bachmann speaking impediment, as with Mitt Romney's 47% speech and so many other Republicans, McCarthy spoke out loud that which Republicans must never say, that the entire Republican Party is nothing more than a tawdry collection of ghouls, bigots, lunatics, and plutocratic hatchet men, whose only goals are to get as rich as possible and advance the Conservative Agenda of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich.

Benghazi is nothing more than a Political Witch Hunt. 4 Americans lost their lives and this is terrible, but they were engaged in a CIA operation, working at the Tip of the Spear, in a hostile environment and literal warzone.

30,000 Americans die every year from Gun Violence on U.S. soil, with spectacular Mass Shootings taking more American lives more and more frequently, every year.

If, McCarthy and the Republican Party cared about American lives and were not just using the dead to advance the evil Conservative Agenda, then every Mass Shooting in America would receive 13 special investigations and have 3 years of non-stop Faux News coverage and now have a special sub-committee expending millions of dollars to investigate the deaths of 4 Americans.

But, none of the Mass Shootings are being investigated in this manner. It puts paid to the lie that Republicans care about American Lives. The Republican Party does not care about American Lives and has no interest in protecting the American People but, will instead use (in every sickening sense of the word) Americans to enrich their Political Owners.

Just note that after every shooting, every Republican rushes forward to declare this is not the time to discuss Guns and offers up their worthless 'Thoughts and Prayers'. They literally do nothing about the deaths of Americans.

After a week or so passes, Republicans declare the problem is the murdered victims are to blame for their own deaths and blame Mental Health problems in the country. Then the Republicans proceed to do absolutely nothing about Mental Health and empower no one to do anything about the mentally ill.

And Conservatives greedily lap up the Kabuki theater, the Republicans Stage as they wed themselves more and more to a cadre of Rich Guard Dogs whose goal is to enshackle the entire populace into Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage, while We, the People live in a state of abject terror wondering if this is the day, some Right-Wing Domestic Terrorist is going to run amuck and gun us down.
