Even Republicans are pointing out that Madison Cawthorn's anti-Ukraine rants are a bad look
On Thursday, the House voted 424-8 to suspend normal trade relations with Russia in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine. Congress rarely achieves that kind of consensus on anything, unless the vote […]
This video of Ted Cruz getting out of a big rig is the mental health break we need right now
If there’s anything more pathetic than Ted Cruz being pusillanimous, it’s Ted Cruz trying to act tough. Lately he’s been supporting the D.C. trucker convoy—the shambolic caravan of dead-ender, pro-death troglodytes that suddenly seems as culturally […]
Ted Cruz murders comedy with crass, incendiary 'joke' about Hillary and Jeffrey Epstein
So now we know why Sen. Ted Cruz was able to mend fences with Donald Trump so soon after the ocher abomination suggested Ted’s dad may have been involved in the JFK assassination. Ted must […]
Opinion: I Want My Country Forward
Going backward benefits few; America has rid itself of a world of bustles, petticoats, and counting jellybeans in a jar. Ill-informed parents are invading school libraries, intimidating school boards, and physically carting off books to […]

Oh, hey, Ted Cruz still wants to be president! Of course he does. The “breaking” part of this news is that he still seems to think it’s possible. Though, to be fair, Ted did snag […]
The Far Right—Left
When one speaks of the far-right-left, the obvious target for progressives would be Democratic Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Although they both are low-hanging fruit, the harvest is bountiful. […]
Critical Race ‘Theory’ Month
I wonder what happens this coming February; you know, Black History Month. Will the contingent of book banners and people who fear the delicate little psyches of white children will be permanently marred by black […]

The American People?
With roughly a third of Americans who identify themselves as Republicans, the party bombards us with the term American People at every utterance. With almost 60% of the country fully vaccinated, Republicans say the American […]
Adam Schiff: When it comes to shameless lying, Trump and Kevin McCarthy were 'made for each other'
It goes without saying that most congressional Republicans know the Big Lie is just that—an absurd fabrication spun from the gossamer remains of their party’s perpetual pants pyre. Donald Trump was always going to lie about the 2020 […]
Ted Cruz makes light of his winter Cancun trip. Twitter reminds him that he's the joke

Former WH adviser Fiona Hill considered pulling a fire alarm during Helsinki Summit—to shut Trump up
I don’t know about you, but I used to feel pretty on edge whenever Donald Trump left the country. As bad as it was having him here, seeing him take overseas trips felt a bit […]
Yeah, I’m Pro-Life. Quote Me.
Repost: Fordham Political Review. No one issue in politics today causes greater polarization than the issue of abortion. I remember sitting down with my mother in high school, nerves fluttering in my stomach as I […]
GOP Says Biden in Chaos – with WaPo Help

VA-Gov: Virginia GOP Picks Their Nominee, Trump Gives Him The Kiss Of Death

Ted Cruz spends his day congressional committee-hopping, leaves trail of lies and soundbites
Apparently, most congressional committees are as boring as Texas during a devastating winter storm, because Ted Cruz doesn’t want to stick around for any of them. He just wants to be caught on camera pretending to […]
Previous Guy's Republican States of America: lots of ring-kissing and revenge fantasies
Not prosecuting Trump for what seems to be incontrovertible evidence of his Stormy Daniels payoff seems to be small potatoes only if the big enchiladas are left on the plate. Yet the GQP thinks that they still […]
Minerva @ Midnight: 45 whines 'free speech' because “Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth”
Delusional previous guy thinks he’s still POTUS. And in Arizona the cyber-ninjas are looking for traces of bamboo in the ballots. Also, Trump got caught trying to sneak back into Twitter. “Free Speech has been taken […]
Calgary Cruz heads south, admits he's a corporate lackey. Matt Gaetz falls under that party bus.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Ted Cruz admits he’s a corporate shill but like Matt Gaetz’s procurer, Joel Greenberg, prior crimes don’t count if you can get a pardon, even from the press. But hey […]
While Ted Cruz Gets His Ass Handed To Him By Trevor Noah, Beto O'Rourke Is Busy Registering Voters
Just wanted to share this: Texas Senator Ted Cruz was not a fan of a Tuesday Daily Show segment and he let host Trevor Noah know it. The bit was about Congressional reapportionment due to population shifts in the U.S. Those […]
When you don’t get the Colored Gal, you Expected

Ted Cruz's latest straight-faced dishonesty: 'You didn't see us try to pack the court'

Ted Cruz decries “Democrats' violence” because of his failed violent GQP insurrection
The usual Cruz hypocrisy, the pot calling the kettle violent. Because the final term of Ted Cruz will feature more nonsense serving corporate energy interests among other contradictions. He’s flailing about today with the latest […]
Derek Chauvin is a reasonable police officer. Imagine the unreasonable ones. Are we gullible?
The Darek Chauvin defense pretty much wants us all to believe that he was a reasonable police officer. So do not believe what you are seeing or hearing. Derek Chauvin defense depends on jury gullibility […]

Some in the mainstream media are challenging Republican hypocrisy. This CNN host exposed Ted Cruz and his cabal Maxine Waters faux outrage. Ted Cruz exposed x x YouTube Video See full episodes here. Republicans are […]
Even Pat Robertson—yes, Pat Robertson!—comes down on the side of police reform
Obviously, I’m no fan of Pat Robertson, and it’s a rare occasion indeed when I agree with him. After all, he’s basically a workaday evangelical Nutter Butter, and evangelicals gave us the prank gift of […]
If Republicans Tell you They are Cowards…
Americans should listen to the rational Republicans willing to publicly lift the scales from their eyes, who say their brethren are cowardly. Current and former Republicans like the previous Republican National Committee Chair, Michael Steele, […]
John Boehner gets around to bashing fellow Ohioan Jim Jordan
Former House Speaker John Boehner has been on quite a roll lately as he plugs his book On the House: A Washington Memoir. In a clip from the audio version of his book, Boehner told […]
Boehner let the vitriol fly during 'wine-soaked' recording of audiobook. One target was Ted Cruz
Former House Speaker John Boehner’s new memoir is set to be released later this month, and if the excerpts that have trickled out so far are any indication, he aims to settle scores. Not so much with […]
Beto O'Rourke shames Ted Cruz over silly border stunt
Ted Cruz continued his “Hey, look! I’m not in Cancun!” tour yesterday, traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border in search of a thatch of reeds that in no way made him look like a serial killer […]
Pennsylvania Republican introduces GRINCH Act to protect Dr. Seuss from evil government bureaucrats
Forgive my fit of pique. Another salvo in the Dr. Seuss Wars comes just as I’d finished training my Seuss-sniffing German shepherds to find, identify, and eliminate all 12 extant copies of McElligot’s Pool. Meanwhile, my stormtroopers […]
McConnell rebuked, Biden questions GOP viability, Prescription drugs ripoff, Ted Cruz refuses mask
Biden asked about the viability of the Republican Party. We discuss pharmaceutical drug ripoffs. Did Ted Cruz really refuse a mask? McConnell, really? Yes! Joe Biden went there. Politics Done Right Live weekdays @ 3:00 […]
Watch an obstinate Ted Cruz refused to put on a mask when a reporter asked him.
Trump sycophant/enabler Senator Ted Cruz was asked respectfully by a reporter to wear a mask during a press conference. The reporters likely knew that the pompous Senator speaks explosively with fluid sometimes emanating from his […]
To: Republicans–the Silent Filibuster is not Governance
In September of 2013, Republicans attempted to curtail full funding of the Affordable Care Act but their efforts came to an absurd end. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) spent just over 21-hours regaling the public with […]
GOP senator takes not-so-subtle poke at Black Lives Matter during gun violence hearing
I’m not in a jovial mood today. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed … because my bed is still in America. If it straddled the U.S.-Canada border, I might have had a […]
Trump leaves Pence off list of 'very good' Republicans and potential 2024 presidential candidates
What’s funnier than Mike Pence being sent to the doghouse after spending four-plus years as Donald Trump’s captive purse poodle? I honestly can’t think of anything—though if Ted Cruz falls down an open manhole while looking […]
Ted Cruz slams Biden's first weeks as 'boring.' Yes, and it's wonderful

Ted and Greta more like 'Son of JFK Killer' versus TEDtalks Climate
There’s really only one Ted that’s applicable to an unconfirmed source trying to connect Greta Thunberg with the Unabomber and that’s Ted “Zodiac Killer” Cruz. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has mocked Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) after he criticized […]
News flash: Ted Cruz did something deeply dishonest (and xenophobic) on the Senate floor today
What does it say about Republicans that the two biggest assholes in the multiverse were their No. 1 and No. 2 choice for president in 2016? Of course, as with the infinite regression of turtles […]
Ted Cruz tells us the air speed of an unladen Swallow… FREEDOM
Ted Cruz is becoming even further unhinged, as if there will be an insanity defense for sedition. Because he actually thinks he’s funny, like a Soup Nazi taking the gas pipe: Ok. No gasoline for […]
March 4 will not be a day of “camo, bear-spray, and noose enthusiasts”
Likely there will some stunt somewhere today, perhaps not in DC. Hopefully there will be no casualties, but nothing will match the easing of mask mandates in Texas and Mississippi. Perhaps there’s a numerological formula for […]
Sen. Johnson wants to force 10-hour reading of entire COVID bill, because he's a huge d*ck
Well, actually, he’s a Badger, not a duck. I was born in Wisconsin and currently live in Oregon. Believe me, I know the difference. And I can assure you, this guy is one enormous Johnson. […]
Ask the Question
The past two days of Senate committee hearings about the Capitol riot have revealed that the GOP is openly excusing racists. From the unctuous Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) adopting the smug […]
Everything you need to know about the previous guy's CPAC speech
I’ve been paying only intermittent attention to this weekend’s CPAC event. Not much has changed since they choppered Donald J. Trump out of Washington like a zoo manatee being returned to its natural habitat. Ted […]
ex-POTUS* makes the same old speech and the Big Lie at CPAC today, around 3:40 pm ET
Likely there will be Daniel Dale or Aaron Rupar to tweet about the Trump blather. As for the insurrection, it was as if it had never happened. It will shock you how much the it never happened. Tom […]
Former CPAC chair: 'The Republican party really no longer stands for any kind of principles'

I am so looking forward to QPAC. Anyone else? #With Poll
I expect Donald Trump to publicly announce his goal to run for the Presidency in 2024. Will Ted Cruz’s head explode? I bet those Republicans that refused to convict in his impeachment for sedition might […]
