Why Republicans Are Patching Their Ears 

Collage of attendees with bandaged ears at the Republican National Convention.

They really *are* this fucking stupid.

And no, I snuck into a Klan rally when I was 14. I have no need to watch the RNC. Been there, done that, saw the cross burning.

Twenty years ago the same filth – or their parents at least – all sported fake Purple Heart band-aids to mock John Kerry during the lying Swift Boat idjuts era. Because Republicans have been absolute shits for far longer than most of us want to think about our friends, family, and neighbors. I mean, there are other examples but this one seems about the same level of performative bullshit.

Stonekettle is keeping score:

Nevada Firebrand Michele Fiore Indicted On Wire Fraud Charges

Human waste Michele Fiore, who I remember from her shenanigans as a gun-toting loon way back when we lived in Vegas, is being charged with stealing $70,000 from a fallen officer’s charity.

First, she’s been bad news for a LONG time. Second, she’s a judge. You know, from that stench-ridden pile of candidates Trump gets his federal judges from.

So, yeah, this *might* be a comeuppance, but probably not. She’ll likely end up on the Supreme Court given how high the shit floats these days.

And stealing from dead cops? Yeah, the insurrectionists will easily forgive her. I mean, they’ve been supporting a child rapist for years. This is so small potatoes.

Republicans are targeting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day

Republicans.

They hate early voting.

They hate rank choice voting.

They hate absentee voting and vote by mail.

They hate college kids voting.

They hate giving you a drop-off box. Remember in Houston a few years back, they only sanctioned TWO boxes for the whole damn city?

But they LOVE to put you in a long line on election day, without water, but only if you are in a minority voting district.

I was going to post a link to examples of all the above statements, but you can probably just input them into a search engine and get them all by your lonesome. I have posted on these in the past.

In short, they can’t win if everyone who wants to participates, so they are going out of their make to make that nigh impossible.

The current story here is about folks who mail in their ballots on election day and it takes a few days to make it to the clerk’s office.

Never mind part of the reason the mail is slow is that Louis DeJoy, who Trump put in as postmaster general in order to slow down the mail, is STILL in office for some inexplicable reason. The thumb is ALREADY on the scale, yet the GOP still wants to punish voters for their mail-in votes.

Tell ya what? We’ll get to this case once Trump is done with all his election interference cases. You know, the ones that have mostly been pushed back until about 2049 or so? Deal?

Lawmaker Asks Delta Pilot About Being A ‘Stewardess’ Immediately After Being Told She’s A Pilot

I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.

I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.

“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.

Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”

Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”

“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.

“I’m a pilot.”

Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?
