Both sides now?

I believe this country cannot endure permanently half human and half Trumpanzee.

Joyce Beatty, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, asked Hal Rogers (R-KY) to put on a mask as they boarded the Capitol choo-choo.  "Kiss my ass," he responded.  Meanwhile Stacey Abrams apologized for removing her mask before posing for pictures with students at a Decatur elementary school.

The Republiclown mayor of Hudson, Ohio, told the city council that ice fishing should not be allowed in city parks because the shanties will be used by sex workers.  Nobody laughed.

Did you know that the Capitol police are Nancy Pelosi's personal espionage organization?  Her Gazpacho, if you will?  Everyone knows now that Troy Nehls (R-TX) caught them snooping around in his personal, private office like ordinary citizens who had come in search of some political discourse.  Troy is 24/7 on the case of the Conspiracy Against Ashli Babbitt which is why they are copying his documents and installing spy equipment.


You thought I made that up?  I'm not that creative and I don't have any avocados in the house.  Or the House.


Gazpacho, Gestapo, potato, tomato.

Florida's state flag features three monkeys in a familiar pose.  Its senate is debating a bill that would make it illegal for teachers to "encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity," thus eliminating all forms of sexuality that make Jesus weep.   Remember when state employees were forbidden to used the words "climate change"?  Solved that problem good.  If it's 90 degrees in Los Angeles this weekend it won't be an indicator of you-know-what.  

"If you want to know how to torture a Jew, make them say this out loud," said the teacher, writing a transliteration of the Hebrew word for god on the blackboard.  For some reason Juniper Russo, the only Jewish student in the Chattanooga classroom, said she didn't feel safe in Bible class.  It is not clear why she was in Bible class (i.e. Christian indoctrination class) at all.  That was yesterday.  Today we learned that students in a West Virginia public high school were forced to attend an evangelical revival meeting between normal classes.  The venom is spreading.  School prayer and Bible reading have been banned since 1963, when the Supreme Court ruled in Abingdon Township v. Schempp that they are unconstitutional.  As soon as they dispose of Roe, be sure the Taney Roberts Court will go after this one.  

(If you want to know how to torture a Jew, make her watch The Passion of the Christ.  It's very graphic.)

It turns out there's no enforcement mechanism written into the 1979 Presidential Records Act.  The Seventies were the decade of Watergate (which inspired it), Nixon's resignation ahead of impeachment, the jailing of several of his co-conspirators including the attorney general, the end of the Vietnam catastrophe and the Church Committee's hearings into abuses by the intelligence agencies.  Not a naive time, yet they couldn't imagine anything as evil and corrupt as Trump.

Now I want gazpacho.
