Today's Republicans remind me of "Dolly" in an old "Family Circus" panel.

In it, a tearful Dolly stands before her frowning mother while pointing at her brother, Billy, as she wails "He started it when he hit me back!"

Let's keep hitting back, Democrats!

I guess I'm just slow, but I have a question.

On my TV machine, I have heard "maybe" after "maybe" as to just WHY Trump stole government documents---many highly classified and dealing with national security.

"Maybe" he just wanted them as keepsakes or trophies.

"Maybe" he wanted to use them to---SNORT!---write his memoirs.

"Maybe" he wanted to use them to defend himself against liberal slanders.

"Maybe" he was just so stupid he really believed the ass-kissers who assured him that, "of course", those were his "personal papers".

But, ladies and gentlemen, the one "maybe" no one has had the sand to propose is "MAYBE HE REALLY IS A TRAITOROUS SONOFABITCH WHO INTENDED TO EXCHANGE THEM FOR BAZILLIONS OF DOLLARS, LUCRATIVE FAVORS OR, PERHAPS, SANCTUARY!"

Why is that "maybe" off limits?

Like I said, "maybe" I'm just slow.

Regarding Trump's theft of government documents, classified and otherwise, the Republicans

have "moved the goalposts" so many times that they are now in the parking lot outside the stadium.

Having already gone through "but, the search inventory" to "but, the affadavit" to "but, the videos", they have now puffed themselves up and threatened to throw a hissy fit if anyone DARES to indict tfg.

Do what you gotta do, Trumpies.

We sure as hell intend to.

Believe it or not, TOUGH GUYS Graham and Hawley --- we'll pause here while you

catch your breath after laughing yourself silly---------- are WARNING us that there will be RIOTS if Trump is indicted!

Do these oversized children not understand that most of us have that possibility "baked in" to our insistence that the sonofabitch MUST be indicted, prosecuted, convicted and, in due course, die in prison?

Newsflash: you are a loud embarrassing minority, but still a minority.

Correction: the reports of Hawley threatening riots were false, apparently started by a post which was belatedly labelled "satire". I apologize for the inaccuracy. Graham DID say what I said he said.

A bit of advice for Gov. Sununu and other Republican crybabies who are feigning "offense" at

President Biden's terming the MAGA culture "semi-fascist": suck it up, buttercup!

First of all, in order to be offended, one must have a moral core; a set of beliefs that sets a boundary---draws a line, if you will---between what is right and acceptable and what is not. Since you are a Trump-supporting Big Lie believing MAGA person,---you DO know that's who the POTUS was referring to and you branded yourself one by announcing how "offended" you were, right?--- you obviously have no such core and you have delegated deciding what is right and acceptable to---GA-A-A-G!---Donald Trump!

I will add that, in my passionately held opinion, President Biden---like Hillary Clinton before him---was too nice in describing you folks. You were worse than deplorable in '16 and you are full-fledged fascists now.

Finally, President Biden---you know, the real, legitimate, chosen-by-the-majority PRESIDENT---did not make any comment about "half of America" as you said. My understanding is that about 28% of voting adults self-identify as Republicans and and maybe 20% of those self identify as "Trump won" Republicans.

Have someone do the math for you, ok? THAT'S who Joe was talking about and, like I said, he decided to be "nice".

Will these be "Breaking News" in 2032?

"My Pillow's founder, Mike Lindell, says he GUARANTEES that the 'iron-clad evidence' he will make public at this Thursday's video blog presentation will incontrovertibly prove that Donald Trump won the 2020 election by a landslide."

And,-------

"This time, President for Life Trump may have finally 'crossed the Rubicon'. Many are predicting that the gilded onion domes he has had added to each corner of the expanded Trump Mansion---formerly the 'White House'---too closely resemble those on Russia's Kremlin. The domes were added by the just-formed Kushner Konstruction Korporation at a cost which we are told is none of our business. 'This time', a DOJ source warned, 'the American people may had enough of Trump's traitorous and possibly criminal grifting'."

"Hill folk" wisdom: pi r NOT squared; pi r round. Cornbread r squared. nt

Don't kid yourself! There is only one reason that the MAGA/Q-anon screamers want to see the

full unredacted affadavit filed in support of the search warrant request and NOW the unedited MAL videotapes showing who accessed the storage room where the jumble of classified "Top Secret" documents were kept: they want to IDENTIFY FBI agents and possible "squealers"!

Why? So they can dox them and villainize them and lie about how they are unAmerican traitors intent on keeping Trump out of HIS White House. If they do their job well enough, maybe some of these "Trump haters" they slander will be assassinated and they can smugly take credit for "watering the tree of liberty" with blood.

All the other reasons you may hear are bullshit.

Never pass up an opportunity to call these whackjobs by their name.

Think about this, guys. If the trend among the MAGAvolk to consider a single cell with the

POTENTIAL to grow into a human child as the legal equivalent of a human child becomes accepted "scientific fact" with laws enacted to protect that cell, how long before sperm cells with their---you know---"potential"--- also be considered children?

Will masturbation be considered "mass murder"?

"OH, the HUMANITY!"

ADDENDUM: uh---this was intended as a sarcastic satirical JOKE, folks!
Just sayin'-------

I did not hear her say this, but according to "many fine Americans", when Ms Taylor-Greene was

asked what she thought about Zawahiri she said she understood they made fine motorcycles.
