Hello, Y’all, From Texas Where Satire Never Dies
You’ve probably already met Jenna Ryan, a 51 year old Texas realtor who attended the January 6th attempted overthrow of the United States government.
Bless her heart, she never learned that there’s a difference between guts and gall. And she has parlayed herownself into a little ole 60 day stunt in prison, where she intends to do a lot of yoga and lose 30 pounds. I am hoping it’s 30 pounds of gall.
Jenna took the trip to the capitol on a private jet where she had been invited by “a cute guy” on Twitter or TikTok or Instagram or some damn place you meet other nice people. She marched into the capitol tweeting on her cell phone, promoting her business, and trying to make a name for herself on rightwing radio. Seriously. Oh yeah, and she also wanted a book deal.
She then decided that she’s a victim. Yeah, y’all are suppressing her.
She went so far as to assert that the backlash she has received is akin to the experience of “the Jews in Germany.”
“They’re making fun of my skin color. They’re calling me an ‘insurrection Barbie,’” she said.
I dunno, Jenna, but it seems to me they’re making fun of everything about you. I mean, you weren’t born with that stoopid hat on. And women didn’t die for your right to vote so you could push your business while overthrowing democracy.
“You guys, will you believe this?” Ryan said on Facebook Live while inside the Capitol, according to the sentencing memo. “I am not messing around. When I come to sell your house, this is what I will do. I will f—ing sell your house.”
So, anyway, Jenna went to prison last month and I hope she’s shedding some of her privilege.
Meanwhile, some really mean people set up a political PAC for her to enjoy while she’s doing yoga. It’s called Stop the Persecution of MAGA Blondies. It claims she filed it but she’s in prison right now so I kinda doubt that. Cue the whine machine – they’re making fun of Jenna again.
