Just Thought You’d Want To Know
Our local Republicans are all glittery and jittery because they are going to be able to have their annual Lincoln / Reagan Day Dinner on April 9th at the Safari Ballroom, thanks to Greg Abbott opening Texas. Tickets start at $150 per person and go to $10,000.
It’s their big annual fundraiser so they schedule the best speakers they can get. Which ain’t much because the county flipped blue under the unable leadership of the guy who just got elected to the state legislature.
Yeah, the best speakers they could get are Ted Cancun Cruz and Felony Indicted Ken Paxton. I guess they were going for a Duo of Dopes theme. They might get real lucky since Paxton is currently under investigation for hanky panky that caused his entire senior staff to resign, he might be double indicted by April 9th.
Seriously, that’s the best they could do.
I guess we can always hope for an enchanting evening of insurrectionist storming the ballroom and stabbing a couple of cops with American flags on flag polls.
The upside is a whole room filled with people crowded together not wearing masks and spitting on each My money is on Darwin winning.
I feel bad for the wait staff
1Darwin may win, but at the expense of the working folks in the service sector. In other words, nothing new…
2Hope they let the staff wear masks…
3April 9th sounds like a good date for workers to have a strike. Let the QOP eat cake self-served, if they can figure out how to park their own cars…
4They aren’t the party of Lincoln anymore; Lincoln would disown them. They aren’t even the party of Ronnie anymore. They’re the party of whiny spoiled toddlers and destructive young thugs.
5I think the speakers actually represent the BEST of the rePUKEians. They are the GOP – Gang Of Perverts – after all.
6That whirring sound you hear is Lincoln, spinning in his grave.
7The Lincoln Reagan Dinner?
Not the Reagan Trump Dinner?
Oh, oh, somebodies gonna get a Zoom call from Eric & Don Jr. Once they figure out how to make a Zoom call.
8Ms. Moon @8, the featured speakers should be Dubya and Cheney doing schtick with the ghost of Nixon to please Donnie. If ever there were 3 guys who could give tRump all the thanks he deserves, those crooks should be able to deliver.
Or, should there be a competition for the three “new” faces of evil between Boebert, Green and Hawley. Or, the “old” faces Moscow Mitch, Mort Blackwell, while Grassley and Inhofe wrestle in the snow for third position?
Maybe a “debate” between Eisenhower, Goldwater and Bobby Jindal as to the ‘future’ of the party of stupid/QOP.
9So if I get a $150 ticket vs a $10,000, will I be seated at a table in the lobby next to the restrooms? What is the swag for the $10,000 tickets? If they need ideas, may I suggest a collection of Dr Seuss books?
10Guess goober gohmert didn’t make the final cut.
11It’s Texas, so this won’t happen to a Texas crook, but would be great if paxton finally got arrested on stage. Like one of those teevee shows.
I have to believe dt junior will make a cameo appearance decked out in cowboy duds with guns a blazing.
I was casting about to figure out why April 9 for a Lincoln-Reagan dinner.
Both Lincoln and Reagan were born in February. Neither was elected or inaugurated in April. Closest I can come is Lincoln was shot April 14.
April 9 IS the day in 1865 when General Robert E. Lee and 26,765 troops surrendered at Appomattox Court House.
12Do they have to send the proceeds to his majesty?
13Maybe we can raise the money to send Sacha Baron Cohen to the event? Or better yet, The Yes Men? Although they do better at events they’ve arranged themselves.
And the reason I love this joint: everyone’s first reaction was to think of the wait staff.
14Wrong venue. They should hold this event at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun.
