Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
They forgot Jimmy Hoffa.
1Brilliant!

Headline: Just 27 of 249 Republicans in Congress willing to say Trump lost, survey finds
3Although there were hardly any republicans in those days, when I lived in Georgia in the ’50s everybody was that way.
My grandfather was an influential Episcopalian layman married to a Catholic, and he was called in in 1928 to try to scotch the story that if Al Smith won, the pope would come to Washington by a tunnel and tell the president what to do.
Things hadn’t gotten any less zany 30 years later when there were Impeach Earl Warren billboards all over the place.
4Papa, add judge Crater to that list.
And thank God Molly Ivins lived such a full life that she will always be with us.
5GOP Headquarters seems apropos. Everyone in the room acts like they have 1/4 of a brain.
6I’ve always wondered what is in the atmospheric mix of Planet Bozone that causes these delusions.

8And Gooliani has tested positive for coronavirus. For some reason my spell check tried to make it say tested positive for corruption. Both apply. Anyone read about his interview by bartiromo. That was as nutty as this cartoon. Looney.

Another aspect of repugnantcans’ silence is waiting.
10Waiting as Qanon pushes the National narrative further to the right. Towards authoritarianism to the point of arrests and detentions of Democrats. The further into hysterical paranoia the (newest) right-wing fringe is allowed to thrive, the further right the new middle becomes. To people who increasingly get their worldview from social media, cretins like Tucker Carlson are the voice of reasonable moderation.
The silent ones in Congress are merely biding their time. They can allow themselves to be drafted to the right like a runner, biker, or stock car driver, cutting themselves loose when they feel like they’ve gotten as much political advantage as they’re comfortable risking.
In that repect, Qanon today is what the tea party was eight years ago.
