Taking a brief, not particularly scenic detour
from the most immediate horror that is the newly triple-flip-double-twisting
summersault breech-birthed Ratpublican House majority, ponder this...
Worse
than what they have already done?
You
mean like nominate, enable, protect and defend a sociopathic, narcissistic
life-long conman, sexual harasser and racist? You mean like stealing two
Supreme Court seats and installing lying, fascist theocrats who promised to overturn
50 years of rights and precedent? Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett
all lied to Congress about how they would deal with attempts to overturn half a
century of decided law that is (was) Roe v. Wade. At least Clarence Thomas only
lied about sexually harassing Anita Hill during his nomination hearing;
although now he appears to be up to at least his wife’s eyeballs in the attempt to overthrow
American democracy.
Taxed
To The Max
The
latest completely legal, previously uncontroversial act carried out by those
dangerous Democrats was the years-in-the-making release of Donald Trump’s fake
tax returns. Wresting the returns from Trump’s IRS – headed up by a loyal Trump
cult member – was more difficult than pulling teeth with chopsticks. Naturally,
this typically unquestioned tradition (ever since Nixon released his taxes in
order to assure the American public that “their president is not a crook”) of
allowing the American people to see the finances of their public servants,
raised the hair-trigger hackles of Ratpublicans everywhere.
It
has been customary since Nixon’s ruinous reign for presidential candidates to
release several years of tax returns as opposed to having them lie to our faces
about being under perpetual audit, despite them never being under audit, which
has no bearing on the issue either way. Then again, the 45th
president was the first one whose primary occupation prior to running for
office was conman/criminal/tax cheat.
Since
Nixon, it has been mandatory for the IRS to audit the taxes of sitting
presidents every year they are in office, mainly to help promote public
confidence. To which Trump told America, “Go fuck yourselves. I didn’t get rich
by paying a bunch of taxes like the rest of you yahoos out there. My damn taxes
are nobody’s business but mine…well, me and my convicted felon CFO Alan
Weisselberg. And by the way, anything bad they say my company did, it was that
Jew Weisselberg, not me. I’ve done nothing wrong ever in my life. Believe me.
Just be thankful I have blessed you by allowing you to have me as your amazing
president, which I still am even though Hunter Biden’s dad Sleepy Joe is living in my
White House at the moment. But don’t worry, we will be having a do over very
soon and your favorite president of all time, me, will once again become the 45th
president. History books will never show there was a 46th president.
We will be skipping right to 47 if I decide to step aside at some point. But
don’t hold your breath.”
As
with everything Trump, we have had to deal with the redefining of words such as
customary, mandatory, reality and fact, among many others.
MAGA Congressman
and new chairman of the Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) levelled
the typical threats to which we have become so accustomed from decimal-pointed
IQ Ratpublicans
Going
forward, all future Chairs of both the House Ways and Means Committee and the
Senate Finance Committee will have nearly unlimited power to target and make
public the tax returns of private citizens, political enemies, business and
labor leaders or even the Supreme Court justices themselves. Democrats will
come to regret it.
Thanks
for that, fuckhead. Like you haven’t been using the IRS to go after people
every chance you got for years. Try fighting for democracy for a change, or
maybe just your constituents – the ones who foolishly vote for you, not the
ones who bankroll you. Maybe take a break from obsessing over Hunter Biden’s
laptop, and Hillary’s emails, and Obama. And go and change your diaper, it’s
beginning to stink.
Speaking
of empty threats and empty heads, Trump himself weighed in on the public
release of his shady tax returns
The
Democrats should have never done it, the Supreme Court should have never
approved it, and it's going to lead to horrible things for so many people.
Fortunately,
most of those people either will be named Trump, or have been lying down with
Trumps long enough to wake up indictments.
It's
Their Fucking Brand
Even
if they could do worse than what they have been doing for decades, there is
simply no point in worrying about them doing it. Ratpublicans will always do
the worst possible thing their lizard brains can think of at any given moment.
It matters not whether Dems piss them off or kiss their collective ass. They
will always play the victim, embrace hatred, ignorance and greed, and do worse
than actual humans would ever imagine. Ratpublicans can never be bested at
being the worst.
In
any event, now that Ratpublicans have finally managed to take the gavel from
Nancy Pelosi, we should expect the worst, the dumbest, the most useless
Congress we have ever witnessed to waste valuable time and oxygen in their
unending quest to bitch-slap democracy for at least the next two years.

Law School poll, 51% of respondents said they either strongly or somewhat
favored increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, versus 49% who
were strongly or somewhat opposed. Expansion was supported by 51% of
independents and 72% of Democrats. It was favored by only 27% of Republicans.
Go figure. Go fuck themselves.
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For The Day.
