From Margaret and Helen:

Margaret,

I was watching the news for a bit, which is getting exceedingly harder to do, but I’m glad I did. I learned that JD Vance is hanging out with evangelical religious leader, Lance Wallnau, who said after this month’s presidential debate that Vice President Kamala Harris used “witchcraft” to win the debate. Wallnau believes Trump has been chosen by God to restore Christian power in America.

I also saw an interview with Senator Lindsey Graham, otherwise known as Washington’s worst kept secret. Now that’s saying something because Washington is full of secrets that weren’t kept. Hell, it’s full of lots of things that weren’t kept, like Trump’s promises and Graham’s dignity.

But Senator Graham for this interview was being asked for his reaction to Trump calling Harris mentally disabled. For the record, Trump thought that was a funny insult and those good caring Christians who attend his rallies laughed. Yes. You heard me correctly. We are back to laughing at jokes about disabilities again. Just when you think they’ve reached bottom, Trump finds a new shovel.

Now nevermind the obvious fact that Harris isn’t mentally disabled. Lindsey simply had to say that making jokes about disabilities isn’t appropriate. He’s a Senator and yet he couldn’t muster even an ounce of courage. Instead he said Harris might not be disabled, but her policies are bat shit crazy. And as examples he gave Medicare for All and The Green New Deal.

So according to Graham, taking care of the planet is bat shit crazy. Taking care of the poor and the sick is crazy liberalism. Well, Lindsey Darlin’, sign me up for some of that nutty guano because it sounds pretty damn good to me.

That’s where the Republican party is today. Taking care of the planet and helping the sick is radical and crazy. Which is odd when you think about it because Christians on the right should realize that Medicare for All is quite literally the answer to What Would Jesus Do?

I just can’t even with these asshats anymore. Let me remind you that Lindsey called Trump a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot and Trump called Lindsey Graham the dumbest human being he’s ever seen. I could almost say that I finally agree with something Trump said, but I’ve actually seen Trump, so Graham would have to be at least number two on my list… followed closely by JD Vance and Mindy Noce.

So in summary, Trump is once again making jokes about disabilities. Trump supporters are once again laughing at disabilities. Lindsey Graham thinks taking care of poor people is bat shit crazy. Tim Scott is married and Lindsey Graham isn’t. Tammy Baldwin is the first openly gay member elected to the U.S. Senate, but Wisconsin is a swing state and South Carolina isn’t.

Well, it’s enough to make your head spin. The hypocrisy of the Republican party is astounding.

Can we all just vote for Harris and restore a little sanity to our country. I mean it really.
