Market Forces
For Republicans who believe in market forces, this has got to be very disappointing. It appears that their heroes are not so much in demand.
Matt Gaetz and Majorie Taylor Greene joined up with perpetual Washington insider, Load O. Crap, to complete their three ring circus road fundraising tour. They made big stops around the country and set out to raise money for Gaetz’s creepy state of affairs and Greene’s peroxide.
Not so successful.
But new campaign filings show that not only did the gamble not pay off, but that the much-maligned Republicans actually spent four times as much as they raised.
The actual numbers break down to $59,345.54 raised up against $287,036.19 spent. That’s a $227,691. loss. It appears that their skank quotient didn’t cover their basic necessities.
Their trip included several stops in California. During the first stop, Greene screamed on about the vaccine and then they told supporters to “fight in the streets.” Three successive venues in California canceled after that.
The tour started in Florida. It should have stayed there. Any news story that starts with “Florida man …” is going to involve an alligator, and large caliber gun, the drinking kind of alcohol, a woman over the age of 60, a juke box, missing body parts, and a carton of American Spirit cigarettes, not necessarily in that order.
And you can add to Florida Man, “tested positive for Covid-19 because he refuses to be vaccinated.”
1How is the deficient made up? Just doing a trump – and not paying their bills? Coming out of Gaetz’s daddy’s pocket – money that should go his legal fees?
2Skank quotient. I love it! When can we add SQ to our lexicon?
3I’ll probably noodle on this and comment more than once today because, while the competition to be the most despicable repugnantican is long, these 2 are at the top.
4And even for mt. greene, it must feel really creepy to have matt gaetz hand on her bare shoulder as pictured. Creepsters
Steve#4…my reaction, too. Definitely skin-crawling time.
Have to disagree on the American Spirit cigs, though. I only see them bought by non-vaping hipsters and old people trying to quit (fewer additives makes it easier to taper).
5I was thinking along those lines too. She’s thinking eewww because his creeper quotient would render any apparatus that could possibly measure it totally useless.
6It could never be recalibrated.
And he’s thinking eewww, it’s like touching my great grandma’s skin.
His campaign manager probably provided hers with a bottle of bubble blowing soap for her to use as perfume.
7Her campaign manager knew there was nothing Gaetz could possibly fathom he needed to do since all women worship him.
Hence the smile on her face.
So, the Matt and Margie show turned out to be a complete flop? Too bad; so sad. Who is going to pay their bills? Maybe some Republicans are smarter than I thought, not to waste their money on those two. Now, if they’d only vote for sane people. . . .
8Speaking of Florida customs, here’s a lovely story from Florida about homeowners yelling “get off our lawn!” while a neighbor is having a medical emergency.

So heartwarming. So inspiring. So Florida.
9Now the despicables are fighting among themselves. Love it.

Oh, and on msnbc yesterday, they reported the creepy duo roadshow has lost over $340K. Whatever, they’ll never have to pay and will just keep grifting. They’re literally turned on by themselves and a dream of attracting a Trumpf like cult crowd of panting, throbbing, smelly, non-vaccinated maskless creatures carrying assault rifles and signs to hang Pelosi.
10Looks like that hand is going to grab her “chest!”
11Could be worse – he could be fondling her feet. Have you seen the internet pics of her weird feet?
12Looks like this gal has grasped the ‘mike’ before.
13I thought I read somewhere that MGT’s PAC was paying the losses.
14Whatever the losses were at the specific “in-person” venues that actually did allow the G&G roadshow, I’m pretty confident the nation wide fundraising covered expenses plus. Headlines and pictures showing them taking on the libs and defending the Golden Grifter are good.
Plus, who cares how much money they raise. Their districts (FL-01 and GA-14) are Republican through and through. The Cook Report calculation for 2021 is Gaetz/FL-01 is “only” R+20. Greene/GA-14 is R+28.
15This is way out of line, but has anyone else noticed that MTG looks like a poster for fetal alcohol syndrome? E.g.,

Also, she seems to hit every item on the checklist of symptoms:

The only other woman I’ve seen that had such strong markers was the mother of the affluenza teen.
16Surly Professor- I tend to agree, but her ugliness is more than skin deep. Some people were born beautiful and it is more than skin deep. Some may be less beautiful visually but are good to the core. Not sure she ever was (beautiful) but certainly she is now ugly thru and thru.
17Like I said, this woman is ugly thru and thru:

Also, I hope Mitt Romney joins the House committee on the Jan 6 insurrection. I think he’d welcome her wrath. She’s wicked.
