For those who celebrate Christmas, I hope your day was merry. For those who do not, I hope you enjoyed the day off of work. I spent the weekend with my family. We had a lot of fun. All of the kids are growing like weeds. One of my cousins brought a girl home for the first time, and another cousin pulled me aside and confessed he was becoming more liberal in his old age.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of cheer and joy. Unfortunately, the Republican Party is so entrenched in their stupid culture war that thcan’tn’t act like ordinary people for a holiday. When I finally got around to logging onto social media, I was greeted by this:


This is the man who is running against Tony Gonzalez (R) in TX23, the same one that left an inactive explosive device in Uvalde last week. The ‘AK Guy,’ who has built his persona upon a fascination with AK47s and AR15s—the very instruments of such unimaginable sorrow in Uvalde—now seeks a congressional seat in the same grief-stricken community.

Now in the clutches of theocratic assholes, so sure they 1) know the mind of God. and 2) soooo certain that God requires their intervention. I wonder when these fucks will begin stoning women and burning children on altars.
