Here’s The Deal
Sometimes you just gotta wonder how how deep the Putin love goes in the GOP. And here’s why I conjure up that …
Republican congresstraitor Dana Rohrabacher continues his work in retirement. On Jan 6, Rohrabacher roamed the Capitol all day with a guy in a giant ushanka hat. Is this epic trolling by Russia?
In 2016, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” Looks like they both are still on the payroll.
Capitol Hunters is a fun place to track people on January 6th if it’s too damn hot to mow the back 40.
Open mic Qevin McQarthy, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” And yet …
Who knew when Messy wore her insensitive overcoat to the southern border, she was speaking for all of the QOP on nearly every topic: “I don’t care …”
The exceptions being the “hot button” non-issues and imaginary issues of which they choose to make issues.
1On Friday I got a response from Cruz to my January email asking him to uphold the impeachment. Boy was I wrong, turns out January 6th was all Biden’s fault, blah blah blah, nothing to see here . . . It took him five months to think that up!

“What was the name of that guy?… you know… The guy that found the hidden panic button in Agnes O’Castro’s office?”
My turn? Oh, hold my place while I find a fresh pair of depant. Isn’t College Bowl on in half an hour? – Reminds me… Missy walked in while I was sitting on the bowl. Oh yeah…. she did get her doctorate… How soon they grow up.
3Russia and Republicans sitting in a Tree,
4K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Putin needs somewhere to launder his money he keeps stealing from Russia, and to corrupt and influence our Democracy. Republicans need money, err, campaign contributions, and money to corrupt and influence our Democracy.
They are a match made in Corporate Fascist Hell!
Yes, Maria Butina, to rohrbacher, from russia with “love”. That’s disgusting to even think about. He epitomizes the lunatic faction of the repugnantican party- the biggest faction.
5Dana’s retirement has been active.
6Poor Kevin . . . . The orange bloat boy currently living in New Jersey via Mar Lago isn’t gonna let him be Speaker ’cause he didn’t support bloaty at the capital like Dana did with someone with a stupid hat.
Sorry for the OT of this but man, this really is disgusting. A “man” in Georgia hits a store cashier with a gun then kills her over the store’s policy of mask wearing.
7I see mt greene apologized today for her holocaust comparison of the covid vaccine rules.
There’s a connection here between the current climate of the lunatic faction of the repugnantican party and all of this. Just sayin.
The shower turned off and now we’re in the hot & dry until…maybe a hurricane? Or just until sometime in October.
And the GOP just keeps going and going and going, crazier and crazier and crazier.
8Is there something in the water in Texas??
9I mean, other than the poison that the law lets the big boys put in for profit. We all know { Profit is above the law}
Ya gottta wonder about their relationship… The other guy got some DOJ cohorts to investigate the Dems (albeit illegally) for leaking and they found nothing. Who does that leave as the leakers? Trump or Putin? Why would Putin want to destabilize his already paranoid useful idiot?
10If the Republicans and Putin get their way, the R’s could be in for a shock.
It was in 1791, I think, that a newspaper published a story claiming that Thomas Jefferson, then a candidate for the presidency, was dead. He wasn’t.
Today, we classify that as the vilest of the vile attack ads that have happened during the history of this country.
As many faults as the US has — and they are numerous — a sitting president has yet to poison or imprison a political opponent.
Just sayin.
11I’ve just heard that Rottenbacher has bought a house less than an hour’s drive away from the city nearest me in Maine. At least I’m on an island without a road to the house, but I’m beyond depressed and disgusted. There goes the neighborhood.

I don’t know that a “sitting president” gave a specific order, but you may want to take a look at the strange campaigns of Eugene Debs. Wikipedia puts it this was
“Debs’ speeches against the Wilson administration and the war earned the enmity of President Woodrow Wilson, who later called Debs a “traitor to his country”. On June 16, 1918, Debs made a speech in Canton, Ohio urging resistance to the military draft of World War I. He was arrested on June 30 and charged with ten counts of sedition.” Tried, convicted and sentenced to 10 years, “Debs ran for president in the 1920 election while in prison in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.”
Urged to consider clemency or a compassionate pardon, President Wilson wrote:
While the flower of American youth was pouring out its blood to vindicate the cause of civilization, this man, Debs, stood behind the lines sniping, attacking, and denouncing them….This man was a traitor to his country and he will never be pardoned during my administration.
