“If you’re asking me a hypothetical … we would fill it.”
—Senate Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell, on whether or not he would push for filling a Supreme Court vacancy should something happen to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is the same Moscow Mitch who held up the nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016 because it was too close (nine months) to the presidential election. [Sorry, folks, I hate to be so blunt but anyone who cannot see a double standard here is blind, stupid, or both.]
“I have been saying now for about three years that this president doesn’t plan to have an election. He’s not planning to give up the office.”
–House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.)
“In no way does the acting secretary condone this practice and he has immediately ordered an inquiry into the matter. The acting secretary is committed to ensuring that all DHS personnel uphold the principles of professionalism, impartiality and respect for civil rights and civil liberties, particularly as it relates to the exercise of First Amendment rights.”
—Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mouthpiece Alexei Woltornist, on July 31, after it was learned that DHS had (gasp) compiled intelligence reports on journalists and analyzed communications between protesters in Portland, Ore. [Translation: You can chalk up DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf as just another Trump sycophant who got caught lying through his teeth and that DHS intelligence office Brian Murphy was thrown under the bus for carrying out order from above.]
“Grace is to Trump what garlic is to vampires.”
—Bret Stephens, New York Times, Aus. 3, 2020.

Kooky Kennedy, Chicken Cassidy, Hobgoblin Higgins, Stormtrooper Scalise, Jingoistic Johnson, Abject Abraham, Gutless Graves. We have our own Louisiana crop of enablers in D. C., but McConnell is certainly the leader of the pack. These people seriously all need to be swept out as soon as possible. They represent themselves, their party or something other than mainstream Louisiana citizens. BTW, Rational Richmond can’t do it all for Louisiana, just as Realistic Romney can’t do it all for the U. S.
Mr. Winham thank you for your amusing and apt nick names for our so-called Republican “public servants!” You have just shown that “there are more ways than one to skin a cat”…while Trump and his Trumpers seem to think his giving ugly nick names to folks that make him “unhappy” is a sign of being smart and quick and showing how to shut folks up. Well, you just showed how easy this is to do and how it can be used against Trump and his Trumpers to show them the reality of their alternate universe….which doesn’t seem to include anything good for Louisiana…no matter what they say! Thanks for the lesson in “gotcha-ism!”
