MAGAMike & the GOP Lookin’ to “SAVE” the Country
MAGAMike & the GOP Lookin’ to “SAVE” the Country
MAGAMike is back in the hot seat. It’s time once again for the nation to shudder over whether the government is going to shut down or what. The problem that everyone is pointing at is the so-called SAVE Act. The SAVE Act is designed to guarantee that everyone who votes has a valid and restrictive identification which verifies that person as a US citizen. The excuse for the act is “too many illegal aliens are voting.” What’s real is no illegal aliens are voting.
Guess who wants that Act in the Continuing Resolution? If you guessed it was the same person who did not want the immigration bill passed, you’d be right. Trump is putting his nose in where it does not belong, yet again. What’s weird with this one is MAGAMike has his nose right up close to Trump’s backside. He’s in danger of being known as a brown-noser. He’s already known as a brown-noser, you say? He’d best hope the Don doesn’t hit the brakes real hard.
The last time MAGAMike was faced with this problem, he went to the Democrats for help. For that sensible act, he was severely tongue-lashed by none other than that famous CrossFit Bleach Blonde Representative from Georgia, Marge Simpson Green. It was interesting for a few days, but didn’t amount to much because Marge backed down.
Now, here we are scant days out from the election, and there’s nothing but chaos as per usual for MAGAphilia. I’m pretty sure that the MAGAs want to focus on keeping the government open more than anything having to do with Springfield, Ohio. When a Republican Mayor disinvites a Republican Presidential hopeful from coming to town, you know there’s serious problems with that candidate. MAGAMike would cover for his candidate in those circumstances. He’s a Party man.
It’s beginning to look like Ohio’s Senator Vance is doing all he can to punish the people of Ohio. JD is even fighting against the Biden administration's aid to an Ohio Steel Mill, which is trying to remove 1,000,000 tons of emissions from the atmosphere per year. The money for this upgrade in Middleton, Ohio, Vance’s hometown, comes from the Inflation Reduction Act. Vance is sure that act will lead us all to the poor house. The only problem with his argument is that Joe has already reduced Inflation. It’s been reduced to the point that the Fed just lowered the interest rate by .5%.
Maybe JD is just socially challenged. Maybe he just cannot grasp that there is a world outside his imagination. I think an argument can be made that the whole MAGA Movement exists as a group cosplay interaction.
A few years ago, there was a self-help organization which organized weekend cosplay events. There were rules for this pay-to-play event. There were characters which people knew to portray who had strange, if wholly imaginary powers. According to the rules, folks dressed up in their best Halloween inspirations and came prepared to keep the character intact for the weekend. They couldn’t break character, in other words.
There’s a story about a couple who fell in amongst this group of seekers of selves. They took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong convention hall. Since the rules of the game permitted plain clothed monitors who were to check to see if anyone would break character, the couple were assigned that role without their knowledge or understanding. The story holds that the couple struggled to leave the hall because there were limits which the cosplayer had to acknowledge in their mystical pretend world.
It’s doubtful that the story is true, but it does illustrate the power the MAGA cosplayers have over themselves. Want something to consider on this subject?
A few years ago, JD was clearly anti-Trump. But now he’s seen the light. And the light was Orange. Hallelujah! If I didn’t know better, I’d think that hillbilly is revisiting his Pentecostal youth. He done been saved again; Praise the Lord. It looks like he’s cosplaying right along with all the MAGAphiles. He has become MAGA.
Using Occam’s Razor would indicate this is the simplest solution to what makes JD tick. Why else would he use his office against the people in his state?
Using that same logical system, we’d have to surmise that MAGAMike is covering for his master. He knew that the SAVE Act wasn’t going to pass before he ever brought it up. But he had to try, or Don Poorelone would have ordered a hit on him, and MAGAMike would be condemned to go back to his Parish and fade into a maze of law offices and law partners. He would have had his 15 minutes of fame.
But MAGAMike has higher aspirations. You have to know he’s playing his cards to hold on to the Speaker’s gavel or at least be first in line should MAGAphilia ever retake the majority in the house. At this point, he has to weigh a lot of options. Poor boy. What happens if he gets Democratic help to pass a Continuing Resolution and his master makes it back to the White House? Even worse, what happens if he causes a shutdown and Kamala moves into the White House? MAGAMike, the only advice I can offer is what Mrs. Gelson told Mrs. Kroger: “Hon, there ain’t no Safeway.”
It would be appropriate if MAGAMike was banished back to his sleepy Louisiana Parish because if he’s actually covering for Trump and JD in Springfield, he deserves to get that and worse. What those two are doing to a whole city of people who understand what immigration means to them personally because they had the heart to open their arms to a population of people who were suffering. Now both the city of Springfield, which was in dire straights and needed to sell some refrigerators and color tvs, just to keep the lights on, and the Haitian immigrants, who weren’t working and weren’t on the MTV, are both benefiting economically. They’re not happy that the Don wants to break up the recovery.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a leader who does not understand the human suffering he brings about as a result of lies designed to make him look better in his own eyes. That is just stupid. Trump is as stupid as the lady who first reported that Haitians had taco-ed her cat.
How stupid is she? Miss Sassy the cat was in the nice lady’s basement. Go figure. Some racist Karen goes to the Springfield Police and reports her cat was stolen. The woman posts it on Facebook and JD’s office calls in early September to verify that the police had received the report and checked with the city manager or someone else who was in the know, and was told, flatly, that there weren’t any cats being stolen in Springfield. But JD had a gotcha. Or at least he did in his newfound hillbilly state of grace and acceptance by the monied class led by his special friend Peter Thiel. Now, he had an even more powerful protector. And you know them hillbillies can sing whatever song you want them to sing if there’s money involved.
The powers that be in the Ohio GOP have got to be wishing they’d never heard of that hillbilly JD. Is it any wonder that the Don is contemplating doing away with the Department of Education? JD is a Harvard graduate. I’m sure the Don wants to go to Ohio to inspect the scene of the crime. He might be using the Haitian immigrants as a cover for going, but if I were running for President and I got that JD as a pig in a poke, I’d want to know how that happened.
Well, here’s the thing. You can educate a boy out of being a hillbilly, but you can’t educate the hillbilly out of the boy. I’d a tole you before, but you dint ast.
