A Clown and a Shutdown
Kevin McCarthy is a sad spineless clown,
Who’s letting the wingnuts kick him around.
The House right-wingers
Are just performative whingers
Who’re pushing the country toward a government shutdown.
Year: 2023
Garland Pushes Back
“Our job is not to take orders from the president, from Congress, or from anyone else, about who or what to criminally investigate. I am not the president’s lawyer. I will add I am not Congress’s prosecutor. The Justice Department works for the American people.We will not be intimidated. We will do our jobs free from outside influence. And we will not back down from defending our democracy.”
— Attorney General Merrick Garland, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee/Inquisition.

Trump Demonstrates Cognitive Impairment in Speech to Christofascist Conclave Warns Biden will start World War II; claims he's leading Obama in the polls
Daily Beast: “‘Just think of it,’ Trump said. ‘We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.’ This is unlikely; World War Two ended 78 years ago. Trump also seemed to suggest that he is leading former President Barack Obama in polls of the 2024 race, despite Obama not being in the contest. ‘As you know, crooked Joe Biden and the radical left thugs have weaponized law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponent, and leading by a lot, including Obama—I’ll tell you what,’ Trump said.”
Nazi Marcher in Orlando Shouts, ‘We’re All DeSantis Supporters!’
Rolling Stone: “Members of white supremacist and antisemitic hate groups marched outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday screaming invectives, raising the Nazi salute, and yelling ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘white power.’
“’We are everywhere!’ neo-Nazis can be heard shouting in a video shared by former Florida House of Representatives member Anna V. Eskamani. Later in the footage, they yelled, ‘Heil Hitler’ while performing a Nazi salute…
“When right-wing figure Laura Loomer appeared at the march, recording the Neo-Nazis with her cell phone, the crowd began to chant ‘faggot, faggot’ in her direction. Loomer explained she was at the rally because she was getting her hair done nearby.
“’We’re not voting Trump, Laura!’ one marcher shouted at her. ‘We’re not voting for the right wing! It’s the kike wing.’
At this, another marcher shouted, ‘We’re all DeSantis supporters!’”

We’re making a move now. The day after Labor Day we’re launching and we need your help to stay up and go hard the rest of the way. We need 50 million bucks.'”
Rapping Sap Slapped
Vivek Ramaswamy is a smarmy little sap.
He’s got a smirky face you just want to slap.
But performing as “Da Vek” he
Went and pissed off Slim Shady —
And Eminem said cease and desist hustling my rap.
