congress – The Politicus

Pre-Life Politics | Opinion

The GOP keeps dropping their theocratic pants, and America gets mooned. Despite having no platform beyond trolling the Democratic party, and self-serving religious attacks disguised as culture clashes, America is sliding to the bottom of that shining city on the hill Republicans are so fond of talking about. Democrats have...

The F – Word

Even with all the evidence of voter suppression, flouting of the laws, and a failed coup, why the reluctance to use the word Fascism? The Republican party is openly advancing Fascism, and America is quietly going along. Ignoring the warnings, we accepted the USA/Patriot Act, which unfettered can trample...

Lickin’ Chittle says: “An orange sky is falling! Pay no attention to the investigation closing in”

Rolling Stone reports that insurrection planning did involve elected GOP officials. Slowly we turn, step by step, inch by inch… the quid pro quo was a “blanket pardon” offered by one GOP legislator, because what could possibly go wrong with storming the Capitol. At least six legislators are now implicated, even...
