Damn the Republicans

McConnell has ordered them to vote no on contempt charges against Bannon. I'm not surprised. Their hatefulness and degenerate duplicity is beyond the beyond. It's so apparent that they are neo-fascists, who will do anything to retain and maintain power for themselves and their super-rich backers.

They obstruct everything that would actually be beneficial for the American people, because they cannot afford to let Biden succeed at anything. They are hell bent to label Biden as a failed, weak presidednt.

God forbid that they would vote to spend money on the social safety net. But there are never any obstacles to voting more and more money for the war machine. How many trillions were wasted propping up Afghanistan, and Vietnam before that? They get filled with joy funding yet another new weapons system.

We live in degenerate times.

All contaminated things are of the nature of suffering.

The sign on the back of my van.

Some of them don't like it.

I don't care.

My van has been vandalized.

I don't care. I fixed it.

Republicans are a Disease.

that sign on your van could get you killed.

And if that sounded dramatic, it was meant to. We've been watching the crazies run amok for many years now. They'll kill people in high schools, pizza parlors, black churches, Jewish temples, kindergarten classes and anywhere else they decide there are "those who need to be killed," for one reason or another. How plain can it be? They're insane.

All it takes is one nut to decide that the sign on your van means you're a left-wing, commie, "librul," minority, "unAmerican," "flag-hater," who needs to be dispensed with. And there are also those who think that bumper stickers are "signs of the devil, or Rumanian vampires."

This planet we live on is a long way from becoming a place where "what we currently call civilized people" are safe. You've painted a sign on your back. Please, please remove it for the safety of yourself and those close to you.

Because by the time we're through with him and he's sitting behind bars somewhere (unless he wises up)
we will use their votes of "nothing to see here" for this & Jan 6th against them in the midterms.
So go ahead and vote innocent & give us your reasons why so we may record them.

But he can't order Senators to do anything. Be mad at Kevin Mccarthy instead.
