Pottersville Digest: Expanded edition

 

(New edition with updated obituary column.)

---

    Tough guy Greg Abbott, who did away with mask mandates, found out he got COVID and demanded monoclonal therapy in spite of being fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. Real profiles in courage, these Republicans are.

---

    But he insists he's not racist & was out of character for him, despite the attacks taking place over three days.

---

     Even Mark Esper admitted Trump fucked this withdrawal up.

---

     Georgia tightens its grip on the largest black voter bloc in the state.

---

     Now, suddenly, bringing Afghans on the C-17 wasn't such a hot idea, after all, eh?

---

     Not only did this idiot waste his pardon from Trump by committing more crimes, he committed the same stalking crimes.

---

     Oh, you KNOW she and her old man are Republicans.

---

     Toobin is literally and figuratively a jerk off.

---

     I would've paid good money to hear that.

---

     Maybe we can import these jolly assholes to Disneyworld for a day.

---

     Eric Greitens, the disgraced half term governor of Missouri, is as much of a fraud as Trump.

---

     Move over, Delta, here comes Lambda.

---

    DeSantis owns this, lock, stock and barrel. These monoclonal therapy subjects aren't patients- They're victims.

---

     It's Thursday, so of course there was a bomb threat in the Capitol. And, yeah, he's a Trumpanzee and claimed to be one of five, although there's no evidence of that, so far.

---

     More whiteboarding of history. But, hey, let's scream about Critical Race Theory.

---

     Wicker now has COVID after railing against masks.

---

     This is what happens when you try to hold a coup and no one wants to participate.

---

     Another Trump cult member bites the dust. No doubt they'll soon start crowing that the Lawd called him for his Great Reward without mentioning he was put on the stairway to heaven because of Trump's lies.

---

     Meme intermission.

---

     Pillow guy adds obstruction of justice to his growing list of crimes.

---

   John Ratcliffe, who always looks as if police detectives are inserting bamboo shoots under his fingernails, says Trump knew the Afghan military would fall to the Taliban within 48 hours but crafted the withdrawal plan, anyway.

---

     Murky financial disclosures, from a Republican, of all poeple? I didn't see THAT coming.

---

     "Alexandra Datig, the former fiancee and longtime radio producer for California GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, says she broke off an 18-month engagement with the conservative talk show host in 2015 after he waved a gun at her while high on marijuana." Ah, those rock-ribbed, conservative Republican family values!

---

    Typical right wing tactic- When asked a question for which you know you have a shitty answer, act outraged and resort to the ad hominem.

---

    DC bombing suspect shared a video by Trump Jr just yesterday. Can we say no degrees of separation, boys and girls?

---

    Regardless of the crime, once suspects are in custody and helpless, police must show at least a modicum of humanity and professionalism. The Providence, RI police didn't do that last month.

---

     And, while we're still talking about violent, out of control cops...

---

    5th Columnist Nazi Mo Brooks gives cover to yet another right wing terrorist.

---

    Why stop with Doug Douchey? Threaten the handouts for other right wing lunatics like DeSantis, Abbott, Tate Reeves and others opposing mask mandates. Republicans love to threaten opponents by taking away their funding. Let's see how they like it. And finally...

---

    There's no way anyone can convince me that Republicans aren't willing to murder everyone in the country in the name of Freedumb.
