Glenn Youngkin won the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia.
Look for him to tell you that he created jobs.
Don’t look for him to tell you that the jobs he typically might have created were overseas as he destroyed functioning companies in leveraged buyouts and sent the work out of the U.S. to somewhere cheaper. To a country that didn’t have those niggling labor laws. You know, like the stuff Mitt Romney was famous for doing.
Why every day that Youngkin was head of that private equity firm the Bushes loved so much, he went to work, rolled up his sleeves, and figured out how to take over another company strip it of its assets, send the work over seas and pocket the money he got from loading it up with debt. He’s a real working class stiff.
Look for him to tell you how he’ll be a fresh voice in Richmond.
Don’t look for him to tell you that he still hasn’t said Biden won the election – in Virginia or the country.
Look for his lackeys to say he’s moving away from Trump.
He’s still Trump. He’s not as Trumpy as some who were running, but he’s still licking Trump’s behind.
He’s a super rich, Harvard MBA, who for 25 years worked at The Carlyle Group, the largest private equity firm in the world. What do they do? Invest in defense. (Oh but not as much as others! Great.) Do leverage buyouts (well, yeah.) and shuffle money around. (Like from the company’s coffers they took over to their coffers and their pockets.) What do they make? (Uh, what?) What do they do? (We told you.) I mean for the public good, the reason a company is supposed to exist. (Excuse me. I got another important engagement. I gotta go to the bathroom.)
But let’s not get hung up on Youngkin. Let’s move on to the U.S. Capitol where Margorie Taylor Greene is wandering the halls trying to bully and pick fights. I mean, what else does she have to do? She’s been stripped of her committee assignments so she has no real work, no job as it were. So, she decided to yell at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For some reason Ms Ocasio-Cortez choose not to get into a cat fight in the halls of Congress with this woman. Imagine that. Greene was left to yell about Black Lives Matter and Antifa as being terrorist organizations. Kind of like the old man in the Simpsons who yelled at clouds. What did AOC do? Two things: 1) work on trying to make sure the halls of Congress were safe and 2) she commented that she threw people like Taylor-Greene out of bars.
If Greene wants to debate AOC then maybe she should try doing the job she was elected to do and stop being a raving idiot.
Speaking of raving idiots, this seems to be the new Republican strategy to garner attention. How did you like the Congressman from Georgia who said the January 6th insurrections were just like any other tourist group. Yeah, right. I mean when I go to the Capitol I expect to knock over barricades, bear spray the police, grab their equipment off their bodies and beat them with it or use it to break the glass in the building. Just typical tourist stuff.
Meanwhile, a bridge over the Mississippi River had to be immediately shut down. I mean like 911 “Get everybody off the bridge now!” Shutdown. Yup, that’s what happened. A bridge inspector, doing a routine inspection of the bridge found one of the main beams the kept the bridge in place was cracked and the bridge could fall into the river at any moment. What’s the big deal? Thousands of vehicles use the bridge every day. So what? And the Republicans? The folks who think infrastructure is roads and bridges? I dunno. They want Biden to make the Infrastructure bill smaller. Why? Well, that’s what they do.
John Podesta wrote the President and said, “This is no time to go small.”
A meme popped up on Facebook quoting Lyndon Johnson. He is reportedly to have talked about the Republicans and their idea of trickle-down economics and how it doesn’t work and how they don’t understand the economy. Nothing new here. Same-o Same-o.
Meanwhile, the number of folks getting Covid in this country, along with the number having to have to go to the hospital because of it, and the number dying because of it has plummeted. It took Joe Biden four months to get the pandemic in this country under control. The CDC says vaccinated people no longer have to wear masks.
Imagine where we’d be if Satan had won’t he election? We’d be looking at numbers of rising deaths in this country. At increasing rates of infection. At stressed hospital and medical facilities. At news conferences where his stooges would say, “Not my job.”
How do I know this? Because that’s what he did for the four years he was in charge. Come on. How stupid are you? (Nevermind.)
In Arizona, the Cyber Ninjas are packing up their charade of recounting the ballots in Maricopa County so the high schools can use the space to have graduations. Then they, the Ninjas, will be back at it. They have found significant discrepancies, they say. What exactly they are? They aren’t saying. Kind of like Donald and the Obama birtherism stuff. I’m still waiting for the people he sent to Hawaii to come back and tell us what they found because Donald said it would be surprising. (Maybe, OJ will find the kiiller? Who knows.)
And in a clever move, Republican politicians are discussing what they will do if Trump gets indicted in New York and a bench warrant is issued. No problem, the Governor of Florida can just ignore it. Imagine that? A state may not honor an extradition to anther state?
Let’s see where are we with the legal problems of the Orange One? I haven’t heard much about the woman who claims she was assaulted by him, but last I knew her case was allowed to go forward. The case in New York is getting hot again. Somehow receiving $500K and forgetting to claim it on their taxes may be a problem for Trump’s accountant. Maybe he didn’t know?
Haven’t heard what is going on in the Georgia case.
Or the ten instances of Obstruction of Justice outlined in the Mueller Report.
Or the money he owes …
Then there’s Rudy.
And the Ukraine stuff.
OMG,
Well, let’s suck up to him shall we? He’s been so good for us.
Under his leadership they lost the Senate, the White House, the economy went in the toilet and we were hit with the worst pandemic in over one hundred years and it could have been prevented. What did he do? Nothing. Well, he stole as much as he could. No, I think he could have stolen more. But he did nothing for the people, not the people that elected him, and certainly not the people who didn’t.
Wait. There’s more.
Matty Gaetz may have a bad day on Monday it is being reported. Yeah, his “wingman” may be turning him in. Seems the guy doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in jail. So what’s a guy to do? Sorry. So sad.
