The GOP (Grand Old Party) is Actually the SAP (Smart A*s Party)

Note: in order to stop using foul language, in the future, I will simply refer to the Republican Party, as the SAP. (To pretend to be proper, we could say the A stands for "An*s". Instead of the slightly more crude word, A*s.)

Anyway, it all started with ole Ronny Regan who famously used SAP lines like "Welfare Queens in Cadillac's". And most famously the line used against his Democratic opponent for president, Walter Mondale, when Regan quipped, that he would not use his opponents age against him in a pre-buttal type attack about an issue Mondale never even mentioned in the debate.

The perfect SAP response to a non-question, in order to show what a SAP line was. Before Mondale had a chance to be serious in a debate on the national stage.

After a little more serious George Bush, we were. He was followed by his gleefully SAP representative son, Georgie Jr. Who treated the issue of the missing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as just another SAP line. Followed by every neo-con and Dick Cheney who all promised the weapons-of-mass were the need to start another big war in Iraq.

To be really SAP, Georgie went on TV to look another every desk and cranny, pretending to look for the missing weapons. As if the disaster of war in Iraq was just another SAP joke.

Then of course the SAP brought in the ultimate SAP representative barking SAP-like line like, "Little Marco" and "Sleepy Jeb." to win the nomination and mouthing every possible SAP line, ones like "lock her up" and "Mexico will pay for the wall" etc. etc. to use the power of the Electoral College to steal the POTUS from Hillary Clinton.

When the pandemic began, Trump mused, as the latest SAP line, that the virus would simply go away and made fun of his next Presidential opponent, Joe Biden, for wearing the "biggest mask anyone has ever seen".

And then after losing the election, and in order to become the biggest SAP representative ever, Trump would lie the biggest SAP line that he "actually" won the election. Even today, most SAP members will happily agree to use SAP lines like "stop the steal".

Now that we are finally getting out of Afghanistan, the SAP Senator Hawley decides to go on TV today to bark the SAP line that the withdraw and Secretary of State, Tony Blinken explanation of the problems, were "disgusting" in a purely SAP line.

If it's a deadly pandemic no big deal, the SAP comes up with SAP policies like no masks, and no vaccines.

Even if it's a deadly serious war in Iraq or Afghanistan let's be the SAP. Regardless of the seriousness of the problem, or problems, the one consistency of the SAP is to be the SAP in response.

It's become second-hand to them. Like a muscle-memory SAP response is all that is needed to solve every problem. Every issue just becomes another SAP joke.

Lately, we have been cursed with the hot new Fox show personality who is another ultimate SAP representative, Greg Gutfeld. A guy who would make SAP jokes out his Mother's death if it made him another cheap buck.

The point is, we need to start pointing when the SAP is just being the SAP.

Which is almost always. Should be easy.
