I will open this message by repeating what Michelle Obama said of Donald Trump today: It’s not a game. And I will address this to a select few recipients:
Bill Cassidy, you were just re-elected with 59 percent of the vote. Now do your damned job.
John Kennedy, you were elected four years ago with 61 percent of the vote. Do your damned job!
Steve Scalise, you got 72 percent of the vote two weeks ago but you’re pretty much worthless. But you should show a little backbone and do your damned job.
Garret Graves, you were right behind Scalise with 71 percent of the vote but you’ve been strangely quiet. Do your damned job!
Mike Johnson, you are the weak link because you got only 60 percent of the vote but you were likewise re-elected. Now grow yourself a pair and do your damned job.
It’s no longer funny to just sit back and make jokes like calling John “Mouth of the South” Kennedy by the well-earned name of Kornpone. It was funny for a while but it’s just not anymore.
Cassidy, boasting your support for “more medical options” for veterans would be honorable if you weren’t trying to rip medical coverage from 20 million Americans at the same time by working to repeal the ACA.
Graves, you give the appearance of working on behalf of flood victims but there are lot of us who have seen nothing, heard nothing. But that still is not the job you should be doing.
Scalise, you’re just an embarrassment, a homophobic white supremacist who seems to care only about the NRA despite your own brush with death from an assault weapon – from which you were saved by a….gay cop. Oh, the irony.
Johnson, with your blind allegiance to your so-called family values, you’re just irrelevant.
What am I going on about with these clowns?
Simple. One million new coronavirus cases in just the past week. Nearly a quarter-million dead Americans. Yet, our so-called president has not met with his pandemic task force in six months, he has literally been AWOL as the pandemic rages out of control. You know which pandemic I’m talking about – the one that was going to “magically disappear” after Easter, when the weather turned warmer, or on Nov. 4.
It’s the same president who refuses to work with Joe Biden, the man who won the presidency by 5.5 million votes and by precisely the same electoral vote margin as Trump did four years ago.
The same president whose General Accounting Office refuses to cooperate with the incoming administration which, despite all those emails to the contrary, is a lame-duck administration but which steadfastly refuses to enable a smooth transition at a time when this nation so desperate needs just that.
The same president who begs for contributions for his legal defense of the election in those same emails while failing to be up front about the fact that 60 percent of everything he collects goes not for his legal costs, but to his political action committee to retire his election debts.
At a time when those Republicans closest to President Tweet Thang should be whispering in his ear about the importance of helping the incoming administration cope with the pandemic, they are oh, so very strangely silent.
Especially Kennedy who so loves to impart his words of wisdom to any TV camera he can find hanging around the Senate offices. Where y’at, Senator, drinking weed killer?
The term “advice and consent” is generally used to describe the Senate’s role in the responsibility to confirm presidential appointments. It should also be extended to advising a clueless president on the importance of being president, not which club he should use on his approach shot.
It’s long past time when the Republicans in our congressional delegation should assume the responsibility of acting like statesmen instead of the political hacks they really are.
Back in 1974, Sens. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania and House Minority Leader John Rhodes, Republicans all, traveled to the White House to inform Richard Nixon that it was time to go.
Now would be a good time for a few good Republicans (I know – with this bunch, that’s an oxymoron) to do the same with Trump – or at least tell President Tangerine Toddler it’s way past time to let the Biden team go to work if he’s not willing to. It would really be nice of it was a group of Louisiana Republicans who had the cojones to do that now.
But they won’t. They don’t have the gonads. They’re eunuchs.
(You will notice I did not include Democrat Cedric Richmond, who, as a Democrat, wouldn’t have Trump’s ear in any case, Ralph Abraham, who is about the let the door hit him in the butt on his way out, or Republican Clay Higgins, who doesn’t know his ass from bean dip and couldn’t be expected to say anything halfway intelligent anyway.)
To the rest of you: do your damned jobs!

Ahhh, Little Grasshopper, you assumed they had, as you say, gonads. Nope, they don’t. Chicken Stuff is all they are made of. Sorry, but ’tis true…
EXCELLENT. HEAR! HEAR!!
That’s a bunch of traitors and cowards you just called out.
I have not made a comment on here for years. Not since the Jindal administration forced me into Corporate America because my state job was outsourced! But today I will!!! You just said all of the things I’ve been thinking and feeling for a long time! Who in the hell keeps electing these cowards back in office over and over again?? Instead of being men, they have lied and cheated and looked like idiots for a man who doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself or his money. I’m just appalled every time I read/hear something where they speak (excuse me – lie). I’m like you… it’s not funny anymore… now it’s pathetic to watch so called men give honor to an (az.hole) like the current president. To give their honor to a man that has openly said its ok to grab women by their genitals! Are you kidding me?? What has America come to? For him to keep saying let’s make America Great Again? What the hell does that mean? Let’s go back to slavery where we had free labor and everyone became rich? I’ll be damned!!! Not gonna happen! I thought we were better than that, but apparently not. I’ve been sickened for the past 4 years by someone who has time to Tweet and bully everyday people! Who does that? Oh… this President! Then to watch our Louisiana ELECTED officials make damned fools of themselves and Louisiana by giving him their honor to just outright LIE!!! It’s the lies people! My God! Help us all!! Thanks for letting me get this rant and rave out of my system! It’s been festering for years! I can’t stand to watch some of our Louisiana elected officials because they are worthless and spineless and will do anything for the sake of this President. So now that he will be gone soon, what will you guys tell your children and grandchildren? Oh I lied because it was about standing for the Republican Party? Really? Don’t get me wrong… everyone tells a lie here and there but to blatantly lie when everyone knows it’s a lie and you are standing before the people of the United States of America?? What now? For this President to still be having a temper tantrum when millions of people across the globe have died from this disease he chose to ignore and our officials to still be standing by his side! Go get your friend…. it’s time for him to get his “shyt” and get the hell out!!! I’m also sickened by the people that have put you guys back in office again! Shame on them! But for those of us that Really care about America and not just the American dollar …we’ve had enough! Tell your friend he doesn’t have to go home but he needs to get his “shyt” and get the hell out of the the White House because it’s time for some people to come in that want to do work to help the “average” American! Not just line their pockets with business deals that will benefit him and his family or his rich friends! Speaking of…. those mentioned officials…. how much did you guys get paid? Or did you just make fools of yourselves for free??? Nahhhh, I’m sure somebody’s pockets are nicely lined….or shame on you if they are not and you just made fools of yourselves for free! If you guys didn’t get paid enough for your grandchildren and their children to be well taken care of…. then you are more stupid than I thought! The stupid that has kept Louisiana on the bottom of all the lists for years! The stupid that keeps Louisiana from progressing! Shame on you! God or whoever your Higher Power is ( not the almighty dollar or the Good ole boys) Bless and help us all!!
Well said and would have made a great guest column!!! It is truly amazing that the most obvious things elude at least 58% of Louisianans on a consistent basis and 48% of Americans. Good job.
Meanwhile…our own psychopathic Nero fiddles (on the golf course) while America’s core burns – and these sleazebags continue to worship him. Here’s the answer I got today to my message to Senator Cassidy on the same theme as your post (in which I assured him I would never vote for him for anything) with an emphasis on his tacit support of our unhinged current president:
Dear Mr. Winham:
Thank you for writing in with your thoughts on my re-election and the ongoing reports regarding the 2020 presidential election. This is a very important issue and I appreciate hearing from you.
First and foremost, I would like to thank the people of Louisiana for allowing me to serve you for another six years. We will continue our fight to solve the real issues facing all of Louisiana families.
In regards to the presidential election, please know that I am closely monitoring all reports. I continue to hope for President Trump’s victory. Every legal vote should be counted and any corruption or voter fraud should be brought to light. I respect all parties’ right to pursue their claims to ensure a transparent and fair election. It is especially important that the process be respected. This is an ongoing and rapidly changing situation and I will continue to monitor what is happening across our nation.
I will continue to represent the views of my state and do so through hearing from constituents like you. Please continue to reach out, either by phone or by email, when you have another question or concern. You can reach my office in Washington DC at 202-224-5824 or submit an email at https://www.cassidy.senate.gov/contact.
Sincerely,
Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.
I expect essentially the same response from John Neely Kennedy who will will at least have a chance to vote out of office in 2022.
Stacy G. thank you! Surely, Louisiana folks will someday realize that we deserve better and begin to vote for the better. We can hope and vote!
Bravo, Stacey G! Bravo!
I am proud of our “intelligence agencies” both civilian and of course, our military. I feel secure but worried that our Republican legislatures will continue to be cowards and traitors. I will never trust any of them but I will “call them out”. Remember Jindal used this religious term when he passed the idiotic “ethics reform”. Do not think for a second that our calling them out will bother their warped little minds. But we must stay strong and never become “them”. love always ron thompson
Johnson and Cassidy are nothing but hypocrites. As for the rest of them, they’re a collection of a lackey, a hayseed, and two old-fashioned racists. I wish we jailed people like these creeps.
