KBJ Hearings: Confirming RepuliKKKlan Racism

Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings! Wow! Admittedly, I did not watch any day in its entirety. In fact, I only watched Ted Cruz on his first day of questioning and snippets of others, including Josh Haley, Tom Cotton, Linsey “Grindr” Graham (love her), Marsha Blackburn, and Corey Booker, via the MSM. Honestly, I had no interest in watching the hearings because I already knew what RepubliKKKlans would do, and from what I saw, heard, and read, they did not disappoint. RepubliKKKlans have no interest in meaningfully vetting Jackson; it was always meant to be a show for RepubliKKKlans and questioning Independents (and QAnon kooks). And I have to say that their antics worked as they typically do. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know how they always bring the secret sauce to these hearings, but they do. If I were to stand back as an objective moron — aka an Independent voter — then I might be inclined to clutch the pearls! OMG! I might actually convince myself that Biden nominated a pedophile-loving, child porn-distributing, CRT-indoctrinating, racist-baby-hating, soft-on-crime, atheist judge to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, who cannot define what a woman is and obviously hates the police; she will be so progressive in her rulings that the end of America is sure to follow.

I might also be inclined to think QAnon could be right. Add to that the white grievance dripping from the lips of RepubliKKKlan questioning. Christ and holy-f***ing-sh*t, if I were an average Independent voter casually paying attention, which mirrors the vast majority of America, then I might have second thoughts about Jackon’s qualifications based on the loudest screaming voices breaking through on MSM! Remember, these hearings are SCOTUS-related, so only RepubliKKKlans care what’s happening with any intensity. The rest of America is basically like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Jackson who? The King of Pop?

Astonishingly, RepubliKKKlans keep getting away with all this B.S. It’s all theater, and it f***ing works. Even I have to pause and think about what’s going on with the questioning because I get sucked into their train of thought. But I can snap out of the RepubliKKKlan Jedi mind tricks; I fear what others are thinking who cannot see through these RepubliKKKlan tactics. I have no doubt the average voter who is only half listening thinks Jackson is all the things I listed above. I have no doubt. RepubliKKKlans always win the messaging game. Always! So what is the counter to RepubliKKKlans’ lies, innuendos, and grandstanding? Dick Durbin admonished RepubliKKKlans for procedural infractions and Corey Booker, who was nearly in tears while questioning Jackson. Un-f***ing-believable. This is why people will always view Democrats as weak because they prove it every f***ing time with every passing moment. This is the problem with dumbass Democrats: They don’t understand what sticks in voters’ minds. Is it a bunch of fire-breathing RepubliKKKlans who artfully cast aspersions and drum up fear or Democrats weeping over Jackson’s accomplishments? You tell me what people are most impacted by and will remember. F***! We are so f***ing screwed! Welcome to stupid America!

P.S. I predict Jackson will not get a single RepubliKKKlan vote when confirmed. No RepubliKKKlan is willing to put their neck out for a Black woman knowing they are on the cusp of winning back Congress. It’s the culture war, stupid!

SCOTUS Hates Black Voters

Did I get your attention? Of course, I only mean the conservative justices hate Black people, especially Justice Thomas, who is the conservatives’ token flaky biscuit maker — because you know he works in the house, right? And if he wants to stay in the house, then he needs to keep those field workers in their place. I’m just saying. But I digress. An article in Slate describes today’s SCOTUS decision on a voting rights case in Wisconsin. Before providing quotes and my commentary, allow me to advocate Slate for its legal analysis. They ably provide layman commentary on essential matters before SCOTUS. It is a good source for those seeking elucidation of heady legal topics.

From the article, “On Wednesday, the Supreme Court issued an astonishing decision throwing out Wisconsin’s new legislative districts as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. The majority accused a Republican justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court of greenlighting a ‘racial gerrymander’ by creating one more majority-Black district in the State Assembly. Wednesday’s unsigned decision, issued through the shadow docket, hands Wisconsin Republicans an unexpected victory in their quest to reduce Black representation in the legislature. It also alters the law of redistricting in fundamental yet cryptic ways that might, to a cynic, seem designed to disadvantage Democrats in every single case. … The real victims, of course, are Black Wisconsinites who will now have less influence in the state legislature. But once again, it is hard not to feel a bit of sympathy for the lower court judges, too. Hagedorn did his job commendably; he applied precedent fairly, to the dismay of his own party; and yet he still got brusquely reversed on the shadow docket in a nonsensical, unsigned opinion. It seems there is only one way a lower court can spare an election-related ruling from the SCOTUS shredder: bend any rules necessary to ensure a Republican victory.”

I quoted the first and last paragraphs because they sum up the issue well. It will help if you read the entire article to understand the problems with the SCOTUS opinion so that I won’t go into the specific points here. Suffice it to say, this Wisconsin case is yet another example of SCOTUS hellbent on giving RepubliKKKlans permanent political control, especially in swing states. It is somewhat ironic that the Court is so intent on ensuring race is not a factor in districting that they would deprive minorities of the opportunity to retain equitable protection under the law. Suddenly, the conservative justices are entirely color blind while allowing the white majority to suppress equal representation of minorities in Wisconsin.

What is the ultimate point I’m trying to make? Maybe this lawyer joke will enlighten my thinking. A man needs the answer to a problem: What is 2 + 2? First, he goes to a mathematician, who pulls out his calculator and replies, “The answer is 4.” Next, he goes to an accountant, who pulls out a spreadsheet and states, “The answer is 4.” Last, the man goes to a lawyer to ask, “What is 2 + 2?” The lawyer replies, “What do you want it to be?” The Supreme Court of the United States wants to suppress minority voting rights, so they will make any argument and rule in any way to ensure that it happens. It’s what they want it to be. When the conservative justices show you who they are, believe them. All I can do is keep screaming about the tectonic change that SCOTUS is about to unleash on America, hoping that people will finally wake the f*** up, but I sense people can’t be bothered. I will reiterate my prior iterations: SCOTUS is coming for your rights. Oh, well. You heard it hear first. Welcome to stupid America!

Two Data Points: One Conclusion

First, The Hill quotes Howard Stern, “‘I hate to say it, but only 65 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated [against COVID-19], and I can’t help but think the wackos [RepubliKKKlans] are winning,’ Stern said Wednesday. ‘Ever since Trump won the Republican nomination, the whole Republican Party’s gone bonkers.’” Second, also from The Hill, “President Biden’s approval rating dropped to 40 percent this week, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll, an all-time low for the president in that survey. The survey showed that Biden had a 54 percent disapproval rating amid high inflation and tensions caused by Moscow’s deadly invasion of Ukraine, according to Reuters. … Broken down by party, 77 percent of Democratic respondents approved of Biden’s job in office compared to 10 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of independents, Reuters added.”

Stern is absolutely correct: RepubliKKKlans are winning. They are winning public sentiment and thus the political argument. He points to the vaccination rates as a relevant proxy for the hold RepuliKKKlans have on messaging for just about everything. The other proxy is Biden’s continuing drop in approval ratings. In particular, two aspects are simply incomprehensible to me. One, Democratic approval is only 77 percent. Un-f***ing-believable! Even when traitor trump was at his worst, he still had RepubliKKKlan support in the mid- to high-80 percent range. Yet, dumbs Democrats, being as dumb and irritable as they are, fail to stick by their guy. Whatever! I give up.

Two, the Independents’ approval of Biden is basically at the same level as RepubliKKKlans. I seriously have no f***ing clue why Independents are so f***ing upset. Is it because of inflation? Probably. This is when the stupidity of Americans shines. Blaming Biden for high prices is like blaming God for the rain. It just happens! Biden has no control over the vast workings of the economy and prices. Whatever Biden may do (executive orders and releasing strategic petroleum reserves) in response to inflation is just for show, knowing that America is too stupid to understand any better. But no matter what he does or fails to do, dumbass Americans will blame him anyway. Not to mention this inflationary period is due to a robust economy. But, whatever. People don’t want to hear it. The only thing morons of America understand is, Prices high! Prices bad! Economy no good! Biden bad!

As for Biden’s handling of Russia’s war on Ukraine, he is unquestionably, without a single doubt, doing an exemplary job while trying not to trigger the next world war. Although I wish NATO et al. would do more and while I routinely scorn the West for their professional hand-wringing instead quicker actions, I understand the tight rope these leaders are walking with Putin. Anyone who thinks Biden is not handling the Ukraine crisis at least well enough is a m*****f***ing G.D. moron of the highest f***ing order. And you’re probably a traitor, too!

So, Biden is in a predictable no-win situation with the war and the economy. Yet, dumbass Democrats and Independents seem hellbent on making sure Biden is crippled in the opinion polls just in time for the next elections (midterm and presidential). They may as well roll out the red carpet for traitor trump and RepubliKKKlans. Oh, well. We get the government we deserve, and if the majority of the population is a bunch of jejune, petulant morons, then you can pretty much guess what kind of government is in the waiting. We’re f***ed. The numbers show it! And Stern is right! Welcome to stupid America.

Traitor Fugitive

Traitor Evan Neumann

According to The Hill, “Belarus granted refugee status to Capitol riot defendant Evan Neumann, according to Belarusian state-run media, which circulated a photo of him apparently holding country documents. ‘US citizen Evan Newman [sic] received refugee status in Belarus. The document was handed to him in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee on March 22, 2022,’ the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reported on Twitter.”

Um, yeah. If you have to run to an enemy nation to protect yourself from insurrectionist charges, then you are the definition of a traitor and a fugitive, just like every other RepubliKKKlan, MAGA moron, evil evangelical, and QAnon kook. All these people are traitors to America, without exception. You guys should feel free to abscond to Russia! You people are not wanted here in America!

They’re Coming for Your Straight Marriage Next

According to nwi.com (Times Media Co. of Northwest Indiana), “U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., would welcome the U.S. Supreme Court rescinding its 1967 ruling that legalized interracial marriage nationwide in favor of allowing each of the 50 states to decide such issues on its own. Speaking Tuesday on a conference call with Indiana reporters, the Hoosier senator unambiguously declared his belief that many of the high court’s key civil rights decisions of the past 70 years were wrongly decided and an improper usurpation of state’s rights. … But, when asked by The Times, Braun admitted there are many Supreme Court decisions he believes improperly established federal rights that would be better handled on a state-by-state basis, including Loving v. Virginia that legalized interracial marriage, and Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) establishing a right to privacy concerning contraceptive use.”

I was literally just writing about this the other day. Look, f***tards! These articles fall in my lap, so to speak. Seriously, I peruse my regular news sources, and these types of articles stand out. It is not a coincidence that when I write about RepubliKKKlans coming for your rights, suddenly, as if right on cue, RepubliKKKlan lawmakers start popping up to express their support to turn back the right of interracial marriages and birth control. I don’t know how many times I have to tell all you f***tards out there: This new SCOTUS will start stripping everyone’s rights. RepubliKKKlans are already planting the seeds for everything they want the high court to begin reversing — abortion rights, gay marriage, interracial marriage, birth control, privacy in your bedroom is just for starters, off the top of my head.

This state’s rights movement spearheaded by conservatives will be a disaster for America. Think about marriage, for example. What happens when SCOTUS declares interracial marriage should be left to the states to decide? The U.S. Constitution only mentions race once (and marriage not at all), thusly: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Given the conservative makeup of SCOTUS, which now subscribes to originalism as their primary legal, philosophical doctrine, if it ain’t exactly written into the Constitution, then it ain’t protected. So, don’t think race and marriage are explicitly protected rights. They are not! In fact, the underlying right that justices have long inferred as being in the Constitution is the right to privacy (and liberty) which derives from the Due Process Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment (see substantive due process and here [And, yes, I read all of it.]); this is the fundamental right that justifies gay marriage, interracial marriage, abortion, birth control, sodomy (for the gays only, of course), and other unenumerated rights. But with this ultra-conservative SCOTUS, that basic underpinning is under threat because, again, the right to “privacy” is not explicitly enshrined in the Constitution. In short, the conservative wing of SCOTUS wants to shred the substantive due process doctrine, which is the linchpin to underdoing federal protection of privacy rights. So, if privacy is not in the Constitution, then it’s up to the states to determine what constitutes “your right to privacy.” Yeah, good luck with that! For a segment of the country — RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks — that abhors the notion of government being in their business, they sure are eager for the business of SCOTUS to ensure state governments can do just that — get up in their private business. Whatever! I live in stupid hell!

All the right-winger nutjobs need is one old-school evil evangelical to refuse to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple because doing so would violate that person’s First Amendment right, as was the case before Loving, where the Bible was used to justify banning such marriages. I could see such a case going to SCOTUS and Justice Thomas writing the majority opinion that would deny his own interracial marriage, but that would be par for the course for all conservatives; they are more than willing to shoot themselves in the foot as long as they can tell everyone else beneath them how to live their lives.

Then watch as all the blue states make interracial marriage legal while all the red, racist states make it illegal. So now, when interracial married couples travel to a red state, their marriage is suddenly no longer recognized. Part of the reason this country works — I use the term loosely — is that states have implicitly agreed to abide by some standard norms, but with RepubliKKKlans gunning for 50 individual nation-states, America is headed toward 50 waring — literally — neighbors sooner rather than later. RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks genuinely want a country divided along red and blue lines, where the red states can simply ignore any rights from blue-state visitors if they even allow such travel across state lines. Ultimately, this is where we are headed with this ultra-conservative theocratic-friendly SCOTUS; leave everything up to the states. The federal government only exists for national defense, regulating interstate commerce, and taxation. Honestly, you morons are seriously suffering from a lack of imagination when it comes to the future of America under this SCOTUS.

Mark my words! You may think I’m hyperbolic, but I see the signs; they are not concealed. RepubliKKKlans are not being shy about their intentions. But whatever! No one cares because it’s SCOTUS. People will only start caring when it’s too late. This is what happens when a society becomes apathetic and dumbed down. Your rights are next. Oh, well. You heard it hear first. But enjoy your rights while you can, and welcome to stupid America!

‘Why Conservative Parts of the U.S. Are So Angry’

From the titled article (above) in Yes!, “Decades of political decisions and policies have created a massive and growing chasm between the economic and social disaster unfolding in small-town and rural parts of the United States, and the prosperity and safety of cities and suburbs. Many of those successful urban and suburban areas have reaped the rewards of electing largely moderate, competent Democratic leaders. Meanwhile, rural areas have elected Republicans drawn from a party that is increasingly incompetent, corrupt, and willing to engage in outright racism to win elections. … This is not simply an urban–rural divide. For the largest urbanized states, the three with Democratic control of all branches of government (California, New York, and Illinois) had GDPs per capita vastly higher than the three biggest Republican-controlled states (Texas, Florida, and Ohio). … Surveys and studies consistently find Trump’s generally older, White supporters enraged at ‘loss of status’ and in fear of being ‘replaced’ by non-White people. That White people are falling behind across key economic, health, and safety indexes is not due to victimization by immigrants and liberal conspiracies, however, but to victimization by other Whites and self-inflicted alcoholism, drug overdose, and suicide. … Yet, despite these gains, White voters vehemently rejected Democrats in successive elections. Today, Trump’s base voters are electing candidates who share their racial resentment and imagined victimization, not those who actually are advancing their safety and economic well-being.”

There never seems to be an end to these types of compositions that reaffirm a manifest conclusion of the state of the RepubliKKKlan Party: All conservatives — RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks — suffer from white privilege grievance syndrome. We have finally achieved critical mass in stupid America, where white grievance determines how people vote and how politicians attract their voters. None of this is new, but what is novel is that white grievance is the overwhelmingly and singularly driving force of white voters. They would rather live in a state of poverty and turpitude than recognize that the days of protestant white straight cis men ruling over everyone else are over. Rather than coming to terms with the notion of an ever-changing and ever-progressing world, they want to drag America back to the 1850s. It is a lamentable commentary on a country that is more interested in looking backward than forward. Whites would cut off their nose despite their face without thinking twice if they thought it was a way to keep the minorities — people of color, the gays, women — in their place, which is well below in the social order and supplicant to white folk! To all those aggrieved RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks, I say this: F*** your feelings! Welcome to stupid America!

What the F***!?!?

From The Hill, “Liberal Reps. Ilham Omar (Minn.) and Cori Bush (Mo.) were the only two Democrats to vote against a House measure blocking an end to oil imports from Russia. … Omar’s vote in part reflected her views that blocking Russian oil could lead the U.S. to rely more on and strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia. Progressives are critical that the Biden administration has not more forcefully pushed human rights in the Kingdom out of concern it would harm U.S. and Saudi security and energy cooperation. This includes holding off sanctions on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018; the jailing of dissidents and political opponents, in particular women, and Riyadh’s role in civilian deaths in Yemen’s civil war. Progressives also see humanitarian differences between how the U.S. and allies are responding to the deadly conflict in Ukraine and the ongoing strife in the Arab world. Liberals have for years called for an end to America’s role in the Saudi-Yemen battle.”

What the f***!?!? You’re kidding me, right? How is this possible? How!?!? I will not be a hypocrite, and I cannot abide such a blatant double standard, so I must throw these two into the same traitor category as other RepubliKKKlans. It saddens me that these two dumbass Democrats cannot see the forest for the trees regarding Ukraine, the security of the West, and democracy. And let’s not conflate the issues of Saudi Arabia and Russia. To be sure, Saudi Arabia is a bad actor; they always have been, but they are not destabilizing the world order and democracy. The most pressing and immediate concern before us today is Putin’s Russia. Any vote against crippling Putin is unacceptable. This is not the time to start justifying bad votes with false equivalencies and what-about-isms.

Watching This Sleeper Legal Case

Reporting from CNN, “A federal judge said Friday that former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis violated two same-sex couples’ constitutional rights when she refused to marry them while in office in 2015. In court documents filed Friday, US District Judge David Bunning dismissed Davis’ motion for summary judgment in civil suits brought against her by two same-sex couples to whom she had refused to grant marriage licenses. … The issues now before the jury are how much the plaintiffs will get in compensatory damages and whether or not they should be awarded punitive damages, Gartland told CNN. … Liberty Counsel, the conservative legal group representing Davis, said in a statement that they ‘will continue to argue that she is not liable for damages because she was entitled to a religious accommodation (which Governor [Matt] Bevin and the legislature granted),’ adding that the case could be heading for the US Supreme Court.”

Watch out for this sleeper case! You’re G.D. right, this is going to SCOTUS, and this is just the type of case the conservative theocratic justices have been looking for to reverse gay marriage. Mark my words, f***tards! Look! The conservative justices don’t have to wait for the perfect anti-LGBTQ rights case to come before them to act. They merely need a case that remotely touches on the subject. Not sure how aware you people might be about the machinations of the High Court, but it is pretty much a free for all. They can agree to hear a case, and then they can judge it on the particular merits that lead it from the trial courts to the appellate courts to the Supreme Court, or they can take the same case and use it to restrict or expand the merits of the case or a broader issue. It is quite conceivable they will grant certiorari for this case. Instead of deciding on the narrow question if Davis has a First Amendment right not to perform her civic duty by denying a marriage license to same-sex couples, they can expand the question to whether same-sex marriage is a constitutionally protected right at all. They can decide to answer another question of a case from the one initially before the Court. In short, justices could hear arguments about ABC and then decide to rule on ABC and XYZ. They’ve done it before. The supermajority conservatives justices simply need a case that gets them a foot in the door to reverse gay marriage and roll back LGBTQ rights. And don’t think stare decisis is going to protect Obergefell v. Hodges. Roe v. Wade is about to go, and that is a 50-year-old case. The ink has yet to dry on Obergefell compared to Roe.

Senator Cornyn’s questioning of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson over gay marriage says it all. RepubliKKKlans are laser-focused on rolling back LGBTQ rights because in their minds protecting the rights of the minority from the bigotry of the majority is not only unimportant but contrary to the founding of the nation. No f***ing person or government authority forces straight cis men or women to marry each other. You know, these people — conservatives — used to make the same arguments about enslaved people and Blacks, particularly white people and black people, could not marry each other (see Loving v. Virginia, which they’ll be coming for soon enough). Still, through the wisdom of the ages, the courts decided that people cannot be discriminated against for their immutable characteristics (e.g., skin color or gender). We have yet to add sexual orientation to the list, and RepubliKKKlans will ensure it never is. In the meantime, they are coming for gay rights. Mark my words, morons. Mark them well!

I have been saying for years now that they are coming for your rights next! Mark my words, f***tards! “Where the law ends, tyranny begins!” SCOTUS is about to undo their own rule of law — again! They are uninterested in protecting minorities against the bigotry of the majority. Thus, they encourage tyranny. Welcome to stupid America!

Chauncey DeVega Strikes Again

Once again, I am compelled to share a piece by Chauncey DeVega in Salon because the man is brilliant! I have said it many times in previous posts, and it seems he unfailingly reaffirms my high opinion of him with each new article. I swear he pulls thoughts right out of my head, but he is much more eloquent in his delivery, while I allow my id to write for me.

And once again, I am forced to quote from his article, “Don’t be fooled: The GOP love affair with Putin is worse than it looks,” at length because so much he says is absolutely spot-on. He writes, “Never mind the opinion polls and the Republican posturing. When the right sees Putin, they want what he’s got. … America is a pathocracy. The masses take their cues from corrupted elites. Malignant normality is the new normal. Political deviance has been normalized. The Age of Trump constantly offers further proof that a sick and broken society can accept just about anything, no matter how surreal and grotesque. Fascism thrives in such societies. But the poison could not have spread so quickly if the soil and foundations were not toxic to begin with. … The American people and the world should also not be seduced by superficial public opinion polls that purport to show that Republican voters are now vigorously anti-Putin and do not support his war against Ukraine. Today’s Republican voters and other Trumpists are part of a political cult. They follow, uncritically, whatever directives and various signals are sent to them by Donald Trump, Fox News, the white right-wing evangelical churches and the larger right-wing echo chamber. Public opinion polls taken before the invasion of Ukraine show that Republicans view Vladimir Putin as a better leader than Joe Biden. … Putin is an authoritarian and a demagogue. He is anti-human, anti-freedom and anti-democracy. He stands against the future and human progress and pluralism. To many of his admirers in America and the West, he is a leader of ‘White Christianity.’ Putin has persecuted and imperiled the LGBTQ community, and is hostile to women’s rights and women’s equality. He kills and imprisons journalists, and is doing his best to silence free speech. … The American people have been repeatedly warned about the dangers represented by the Republican fascists and the Trump movement. The past is prologue — but it does not have to be. The American people can choose to learn the lessons of the past about how democracies succumb to fascism and authoritarianism and act accordingly, or they can continue to insist, against all available evidence, that such evils only bloom elsewhere and cannot possibly happen here. But democracy must be an active choice. Indifference and passivity are sure to destroy it. What choice will the American people make?”

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! He says it all, so I will not comment, except to answer his closing question: What choice will the American people make? Probably not all that surprising to some, I think America will, naturally, make all the wrong choices because Americans are just too f***ing G.D. stupid. I think we are too far down the road to losing our democracy for countless reasons I’ve laid out in other posts. Still, in a nutshell, the RepubliKKKlan Party has won the trifecta: Super-majority on SCOTUS, RepubliKKKlan control in most state legislatures, and redistricting. Thus, RepubliKKKlans have the means through state legislatures to write laws that suppress voters (and citizens more generally) and create RepubliKKKlan controlled districts that give them permanent political control, with all their machinations protected by SCOTUS. Once they take over the U.S. Congress and the White House, then the end of American democracy will be sealed, replaced with a mixture of autocracy and theocracy. And no one will care because I live in stupid hell! Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America! Remember: Biden is the intermission to the end.

Eight American Traitors

Top left to right: Traitor Thomas Massie (KY), Traitor Matt Gaetz (FL), Traitor Andy Biggs (AZ), Traitor Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA)
Bottom left to right: Traitor Dan Bishop (NC), Traitor Chip Roy (TX), Traitor Lauren Boebert (CO), and Traitor Glenn Grothman (WI)

From The New York Times, “The House voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to strip Russia of its preferential trade status with the United States, moving to further penalize the country’s economy in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The lopsided 424-to-8 vote came after President Biden announced last week that the United States and its European allies would take new steps to isolate Russia from the global trading system. All of the lawmakers who opposed the measure were Republicans [listed above].” These eight are Putin-loving traitors to America who, no doubt, represent a constituency of like-minded traitors. Yes, you heard me right: People who voted for these traitors are also traitors to America.

Since we are in a de facto war with Russia, may I remind these eight and all their supporters of the following: 18 US Code § 2381 states, “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
