Just Like Jesus. Exactly like Jesus.
Oh y’all, Steve King, Republican of Iowa, is the dangerous crazy version of Louie Gohmert.
Republicans are diverse like that. They are all white and far more male than any other gender, but they have diverse kinds of crazy everywhere.
King likes to say insane, hurtful stuff and then go into victim mode. He outdid himself last weekend.
Yeah, he went there. Steve King lied for your sins.
“And, when I have to step down to the floor of the House of Representatives, and look up at those 400-and-some accusers, you know we just passed through Easter and Christ’s passion, and I have better insight into what He went through for us partly because of that experience.”
Oh yeah, the Republicans stripped him of his committee assignments for making startling racist comments.
Republicans: they have layers of crazy.
I recommend that he volunteer to be scourged in order to get that full I-am-just-like-Jesus-if Jesus-had-been-a-racist-homophobic-crybaby experience.
And then walk to Golgotha in his sandals.
1The golden gibbon portrays himself as a victim. Maybe its spreading. At least we know who Patient Zero is.
2Funny thing about Iowa…
This news tidbit is so tiny, its almost invisible.

Thats one republican who was so repulsed by what he witnessed, versus hundreds of the GOPorkers who are perfectly happy crawling around with the other slimy things in the swamp. That only one said no to this unflushed presidency is…
3notable.
I got nothin’. As Molly Ivins said, “Some days it’s just rip and read.”
The Iowa pol who got fed up with being expected to be the Party of Trump and is switching to the Democrats got a little Washington Post ink, in the Other News kinda way. We need more like him. Should have gotten tired of the dry heaves sooner than this, but we welcome you at any time.
4Rhea@4 Do something, anything for 10 or 20 years. Then get up from your chair and walk out the door forever. Easy, right? I give him credit for honestly looking into the mirror to see himself while others never have or will.
5Yes!
6So Christ-like.
And they’re both King-like as well.
Jesus, the King of Kings.
Steve, King of Fools.
Oh lawd, get a couple of 4×4’s and some 40 penny (40d) nails and let’s hoist ol’ martyrin’ Steve Effen King up on the Capitol lawn.
7Sandridge, I was thinking of just that. But I think we need to use 6×6’s and railroad spikes. Also, he should have to drag the finished product from the walls of Jerusalem to Golgotha. Then he can compare himself to JC.
8Members of the NSGOP mostly learn their history from the movies. King probably thinks Jesus was blonde and blue-eyed, John Wayne movies were documentaries, and that god looks exactly like Charlton Heston.
9Bob Boland @8, I thought about something sturdier, but anything to do with Rethugs should be the lowest-bid, substandard chit possible; reciprocity y’know. Even using the crappiest, warped, knot-filled 2×4’s and old salvaged rusty nails is really too good for King. Might be better and even cheaper with just a rope and suitable tree branch.
10Okay, just thinking out-thumbed. But the memories I have from reading the Gospels decades ago, when ole Jesus was resurrected, and spent time imparting his last lessons and thoughts, he was joyful. The LAST thing he wanted was pity. So again, just spitballing, we all know how UNCHRIST LIKE these repugnantcans are. Openly. Proudly. Wallowing around in it like pigs in sh*t. And so the ONE thing they believe they share in common with their beloved Lord that they can actually point out to the rest of the world?
And they f**k it up.
11Makes sense.
Good metaphor for the current repugnantcan party’s idea of what our national religion is.
F**ked up.
POS Steve King (R-Racist) is the Anti-Christ. Or tRump is.
12I’d be a little more inclined to feel sorry for him if he’d actually climbed down off the cross after 3 days of being nailed upside down.
