A new world record in tone deafness

Maggot puke is less disgusting than Joni Ernst

BREAKING: Voters BEGGED Joni Ernst to understand that cutting Medicaid and food assistance will KILL people. She shrugged and said: “Well, we’re all going to die.” No empathy. No shame. Smile on her face. If you’re broke, sick, or hungry—die quietly.

No principles, no guts

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.

Be careful what you wish for...

You sure about that?

Watching Iowa Senator Joni Ernst utterly embarrass herself  kissing Donald Trump's ass as she tried to influence Iowa Democrats on their upcoming selection of a Democratic nominee by questioning their support for Joe Biden after the Senate impeachment trials proved Biden had done absolutely nothing wrong (and you'd think after Ernst bragged about castrating hogs she'd have just a bit more fortitude), had me wondering once again why republicans think Biden is their toughest foe.

I know I'm in the minority, and while I think Biden can beat Trump regardless, I still think he would be the best candidate for Trump to run against.  To wit:

• Voters would be comparing two old white men (a group of which I am also a card carrying member).  Biden would not stand out in the way a either a woman or a candidate of color would.
• Biden is massively prone to gaffes when speaking.
• He would be a constant reminder to Trump's base of Barack Obama--and confirm all of their racist instincts and thus fire them up more than perhaps another candidate.
• Ditto his support from African-Americans.
• Biden does not appeal to young Democrats who are not interested in incremental steps and want action on income inequality and climate change yesterday.

I've been wrong before (anyone remember Sarah Palin's winning campaign for the republican nomination in 2012?  Didn't think so...), but I still think Biden gives Trump his best chance of winning.

Be a shame if all their work ended up with us selecting another candidate who trounces Trump in November...

Phrase of the year

On a day in which I learned that Merriam Webster's word of the year was "they" (explanation here) and that most of the year's top words revolved around the impeachment of Donald Trump, and after reading about Attorney General William Barr's lie-filled interview on MSNBC earlier today concerning the IG Report on the FBI's conduct concerning Donald Trump's collusion with Russia, in the spirit of both I would like to nominate "Lying sack of shit" as the phrase of the year.  To wit:

Donald Trump?  Lying sack of shit.

William Barr?  Lying sack of shit.

Mike Pompeo?  Lying sack of shit.

Mick Mulvaney?  Lying sack of shit.

Devin Nunes?  Lying sack of shit.

Mitch McConnell?  Lying sack of shit.

Trump children?  Lying sacks of shit.

Think of it--it's the perfect phrase for republicans these days:

"Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Lying Sack of Shit, said today..."

"Lying sack of shit and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was on Capitol Hill this morning to..."

"Ivanka Trump, lying sack of shit, was set to debut her new line of..."

It's short, it's sweet, and in direct opposition to republican distortion of facts, it's truthful.

Joni loves Chumpie

Right message, wrong candidate

If you had asked me after the 2016 election if we would have had a shot to defeat Joni Ernst in Iowa in 2020, I would have been a solid no.  Ernst won her initial election easily (albeit against a weak candidate), as did Trump in taking Iowa's six electoral votes.  While it still is going to be an uphill struggle, I wouldn't rule it out anymore.  Ernst has proven to be a much weaker candidate than advertised.

She continues to support Trump while farming bankruptcies in her state are going through the proverbial barn roof thanks to his idiotic tariffs.  She can't decide whether or not asking foreign governments to interfere in our elections is wrong.  She talks tough about deficits but voted for Trump's tax cut for the wealthy...which have had the effect of sending the nation's deficits through the White House roof.  With each passing day, it appears Ernst isn't quite the candidate she promised Iowans she would be.

And who would have ever guessed that a republican candidate who touted herself as Xena, Warrior Princess, would turn out to be Joni, Creampuff Senator?

No, it's Iowa

What the Iowa?

With another upset win this week (Wisconsin) Democratic enthusiasm and confidence continues to grow for the elections this November.  I, however, after the 2016 election fiasco (Hillary was a lock for President, Dems were going to win back the Senate) have pretty much become the Doubting Thomas of Democrats:  I'll believe we're going to win when we actually win the race.  The poll numbers all too often look much better for us than the actual result, and conversely, republican poll numbers seem to look worse than they actually turn out to be.

Still...

After the past couple of elections, I have begun to believe that Iowa, for Democrats, is going the way of Missouri.  Joni Ernst absolutely crushed Bruce Braley in the 2014 Iowa Senate race, we pretty much get our clocks cleaned in three out of the four U.S. Rep races, and Donald Trump won easily over Hillary Clinton--the math just doesn't look good.  We're getting beat and we're getting beat badly.

Cue, however, to this week.  Both of their Senators, Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley, had townhalls in their home state this week...and they both went about as badly as they possibly could--in republican friendly rural areas.  Ernst sounded Palinesque as she tried to explain Trumps racist comments about shithole countries by noting that Norway was close to Russia.  She pretty much got laughed out of the room.  Grassley kept trying to deflect questions about Trump's competency which his constituents were having no part of, and even worse, when asked if he would promise not to cut Social Security or Medicare, Grassley refused.  Can't you just see his next opponent already filming the political ads for that colossal mistake?

Who knows?  Maybe there is something magical in Iowa's cornfields that brings the dead back to life to play ball....

Fuck Donald Trump,

Voters beware...

In a recent talk with reporters, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka called on Democrats to present a more populist message, especially in talking about economic fairness.  He's right, but more important was his caveat to American voters--republicans shut up about issues that are not popular (outlawing abortion, birth control, right to work), but once elected, shove their unpopular agenda down their citizens' throats.

We've seen it here in Michigan where Rick Snyder swore up and down in 2010 that he was neither interested in destroying unions or getting involved in the abortion debate.  Four years later we have a right to work for less law and our women having to buy rape insurance.  And I will guarantee that at least the ones in blue and purple states (e.g. Joni Ernst in Iowa or Cory Gardner in Colorado) are following the same playbook.

Swear to God, every ad we run for the next month should be blunt and simple:  republicans are a) fucking nuts, and b) do not have America's best interests at heart.

At least, unlike republicans, we'd at least be honest with the voters.

Please please me

As I was driving to work yesterday, I drove past Loserville, Population 2--a.k.a., a booth with a couple of doofuses calling for the impeachment of President Obama, replete with big ass pictures of the President with a Hitler mustache.

Yikes.

This seems to be a republican theme of late, with the Queen of Dunceville, Sarah Palin, calling for Obama's impeachment over his immigration policies and proving she knows two words of Spanish ("no" and "mas").  Her would be protege, pretender and republican candidate for Senator from Iowa, Joni Ernst, was also caught this week calling for Obama's impeachment earlier this year.

This is one republican initiative that I could not agree with more.  Please, please, please do.  Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!

If they do--guaranteed--we take the House back in 2016, win enough Senate seats to comfortably pass the sixty vote threshhold, and Hillary Clinton wins the Electoral College in the biggest rout since Reagan annhilated Mondale.

The republican party--the gift that keeps on giving.
