Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/republican-women-are-revolting
It's a longer-than-usual read, but Jeff Tiedrich is making a lot of sense here. He's got interesting comments about these GOP women who have reasons to vote Mike Johnson out of the Speakership - if it comes to that.
The other 3 women are Nancy Mace, Anna Paulina Luna, and Elise Stefanick. If a vote for House Leadership is raised early next year, Johnson might lose his job thanks to these 4 women. It couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow.
Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
Today's Tiedrich rant: Republican women are revolting

Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/republican-women-are-revolting
Holy Mike Johnson, the limpest dick ever to wield the House Speakers gavel, is in grave danger of losing his grip on that hammer. by way of explanation, let me commit a metaphor. everyone loves a metaphor, right? especially when its this one.

Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand is, of course, standing in for Holy Mike Johnson. the skateboard represents four Republican Congresswomen who are furious with Holy Mike right now. and the nuts are, well, literal nuts. not everything has to be a metaphor, okay?
lets have a look at the women who are the four skateboards of the nutpocalypse.
The first is Marjorie Three Toes Greene.

the Republican majority in the House right now stands at 220-213.
with Madge sporking her way out of Congress next month, the Republican barely-a-majority in the House will drop to 219 making it that much harder for Holy Mike to inflict his Christofascist fuckery on We the People.

Good one Andy! "When Trump calls Somalis garbage, I respond: how many Somalis are in the Epstein files?"
The Borowitz Report: Somalis Express No Interest in Immigrating to Country with Shithole President

Link: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/somalis-say-they-have-no-interest
MOGADISHU (The Borowitz Report)A new poll released on Thursday reveals that a broad majority of Somalis have no interest in immigrating to a country led by what they termed a shithole president.
Though 78 percent of Somalis called current conditions in the US just too violent, the nations so-called shithole president drew their harshest criticism.
In the words of one Somali, When I travel abroad from Somalia, Im not embarrassed when people ask me where Im from.
Another remarked, In Somalia, they would never let an alcoholic run the armed services.
Yet another said, Look, Somalia isnt perfect, but at least we have a leader who can stay awake.

The Borowitz Report: Dozy Don: A Pictorial History

Link: https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/dozy-don-a-pictorial-history
Its unfair that Trump gets to sleep through his presidency and we dont.
Recent photos of Trump napping on the job have gone viral. But his snoozing isnt news. Don Snoreleone has a long history of catching some zs during work hours, as these photos reveal.
#1
December 7, 2015: At a rally in South Carolina, Trump mocks his Republican rival Jeb Bush for being low energy. Considering Trumps habit of drowsing off during the day, psychiatrists might say hes projecting. Is he really imitating Jeb here, or taking a quick catnap himself?
#2
January 20, 2017: Right after his apocalyptic inaugural address, Nap-oleon grabs forty winks at an Inauguration Day luncheon. Apparently, its exhausting scaring the shit out of America and the world. Meanwhile, its dawning on the visibly stricken Melania that shes yoked to this nightmarish man-baby for another four years.
#3
February 7, 2017: Three weeks into his new gig, Trump hits the ground snoozing. During a meeting at the White House, the crushing tedium of being President of the United States makes him crave some shut-eye. Maybe itll be easier keeping his eyes open when he gets to do something interestinglike go on a foreign trip?
#4
July 13, 2017: No such luck. Any hope that he might appear sentient during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron vanishes when his Gallic counterparts remarks send him straight to the Land of Nod.
