The Absurd GOP

[The Grand Nudger]

OFC they want to get rid of all of that. The nuts have filled our government with a group of people who take it as their organizing principle that government shouldn't exist. It's absurd.

Neil Gorsuch is preparing his revenge

Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies.

If they pull it off, they could destroy the ability of:

— the EPA to regulate pollutants,

— the USDA to keep our food supply safe,

— the FDA to oversee drugs going onto the market,

— OSHA to protect workers,

— the CPSC to keep dangerous toys and consumer products off the market,

— the FTC to regulate monopolies,

— the DOT to come up with highway and automobile safety standards,

— the ATF to regulate guns,

— the Interior Department to regulate drilling and mining on federal lands,

— the Forest Service to protect our woodlands and rivers,

— and the Department of Labor to protect workers’ rights.

Among other things on the rightwing billionaire wish list: virtually the entirety of America’s ability to protect its citizens from corporate predation rests on what’s called the Chevron deference (more on that in a moment), which the Court appears prepared to overturn with a case they just accepted this year.

Declared Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he wants to eliminate the Department of Education “on day one” if he’s elected president. If the Supreme Court has its way, he wouldn’t have to bother. It’ll become impotent.

The court is doing it's level fucking best to complete the process of making the US a 3rd world country, aren't they?

Judging from the crazy texts I've been getting from my maga friend, Fox and newsmax must be fueling the echo chamber about JB using pseudonyms for emails. I responded that if they can prove a crime there should be charges. I'll read the legal docs when they come out and weigh the merits. Until then the GOP has zero credibility, Comer in particular. Bomb-throwing whacko conspiracy creep.

But, but, but, you don't seem to understand. My cousin's girlfriend's sister's uncle's boss's daughter's coworker who happens to be a hairdresser, once sat in a building where sleepy Joe passed through, and they could sense the sleepiness.

How can you possibly dismiss this treasure trove of information.

I' ll graciously (and not in an I TOLD YOU SO kind of way) wait for the apology!

Rudy about to do the perp walk in Atlanta. I wonder if he has the $200k for bail.

I wonder if this is why the Fox echo chamber has been blathering on about the ridiculous house oversight committee BS. "looky over here at Hunter! Perp walks for Rudy and Trump = FAKE NEWS."

They have trained their lemmings well.

Federal court judge DENIES Mark Meadows' bid to stave off arrest or immediately remove his criminal case in Fulton County to federal court.

Meanwhile, Fulton County lockup leashes the Kraken.

Rudy Collude-y looks so sad.

^He looks like he’s trying for a poo.

Wait, I don't recognize Rudy without Four Seasons Landscape and poo drizzing down his cheek.
