The following instances all occurred in just one day, this Tuesday. No doubt other distressing instances in Republican Wackoville took place that day, but a person can take only so much. So I give you graciously limited evidence of the GOP's frightful loss of its mental facilities, along with anything resembling a soul.
First, U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who undoubtedly took one too many shots to the head in pro ball, appeared on something called the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Walker was asked by a host what his thoughts were about Stacey Abrams saying that Georgia is "the worst state in the country to live." After a bit of rambling, Walker said, "If it’s the worst state, why are you here? Why don’t you leave, go to another? There’s, what, 51 more other states you can go to."
Second, congressional Democrats are hurrying to authorize $3 billion for the school meal program before its funding expires on the 30th, which, reported Politico, would "[trigger] a hunger cliff for millions of children." Enter Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., who said Tuesday that he's "contemplating" an objection to the legislation, and Senate rules permit one member to shut down progress on any bill. If that's not insane enough, try this: Marshall dislikes the bill because a new guideline from the Agriculture Department bans LGBTQ discrimination in programs that receive federal nutrition money, in this case, the school lunch program. Marshall favors discrimination. If you're gay and 13 years old, your proper condition is that of hunger.
Third, Rusty Bowers, the Arizona statehouse's Republican speaker who testified so cogently against Trumpian electoral crimes before the Jan 6 committee on Tuesday, said later in an Associated Press interview, "I’d vote for [Trump] again."
Yes, from kindergarten ignorance to unconcealed bigotry to stunning, premeditated tolerance of a multifaceted criminal in the White House, the Republican Party has it all. And in 138 days, it'll be running Congress. In 866 days, it most likely will be running this country.
So have a nice day — today.
