Prickly City by Scott Stantis for February 20, 2021

It Has. If we could be spared the two week delay notice today, it would be nice.

It’ll be even nicer when her term is up

Margie is not going anywhere!! As we speak, she’s already making plans for a run for the Casa Blanca in 2024!! One minor problem with those plans – the one that shan’t be named might be still alive and in her way!!

/SNARK/

You’re looking at the future leadership model of the GOP. Hell, it was Rush who pointed out we should look to the extremes of a political party to see its future. Damn, if he wasn’t right ….. on multiple levels.

Well, I for one am glad that the Excrement In Broadcasting Network is over!

Though there are many to take over!

Why would anyone think she will not be around for a long time?

She is a hard core member of the POT — she will not face a primary challenge that will amount to anything and people in that area would sooner elect a pedophile than a Democrat.

The only thing that would interrupt her longevity as a rep is if she decides to resign and go on a book tour like Sarah Palin.

Or maybe she’ll run for veep on the ticket with Cruz or Hawley.

QAnon persists despite Q going silent. Once hate has a framework to grow on, it needs little tending.

We had a “President” who trafficked in conspiracy theories for four years, and this is the result.

Donald Trump would lend credence to the idea of Reptilians if it was proposed by somebody who flattered him. He believes anybody who strokes his ego.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raises 2 million dollars for Texas Disaster Relief – unlike Cancun Cruz

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Beto O’Rourke. Joe Biden.

All names to remember when we remind others which people truly care about public service and the people they serve.

Once again, Dems digging the people out of repug shithole policies and Koch-ups. This broken record is beyond getting old.

They were all in love with dying they were doin’ it in Texas

They were drinking from a fountain

That was pouring like an avalanche

Coming down the mountain

I don’t mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows

I can’t feel with my lips or smell with my nose

Ted Cruz coulda done some good, but instead he froze

—

Q Anon and grifters, with softly spoken lies

It’s not an insurrection/or a riot/ as long as just a few dies…

Fox news koolaid is nothing but lies

You never know just how you look through other people’s eyes

-apologies to the b/hole surfers

The GQP deserves her. She is the face of the party. Loving it!

Unity is fact-based support of American Democracy. Bipartisanship is a negotiation tactic.

Democrats who control the House are preparing to approve the package by the end of next week, with the Senate aiming to soon follow with its own party-line vote before unemployment benefits are set to lapse in mid-March.

On Friday, the House Budget Committee unveiled the nearly 600-page text for the proposal, which includes billions of dollars for unemployment benefits, small businesses and stimulus checks.

Republican leaders, searching for a way to derail the proposal, on Friday led a final attempt to tarnish the package, labeling it a “payoff to progressives.” The bill, they said, spends too much and includes a liberal wish list of programs like aid to state and local governments — which they call a “blue state bailout,” though many states facing shortfalls are controlled by Republicans — and increased benefits for the unemployed, which they argued would discourage people from looking for work.

Those attacks have followed weeks of varying Republican objections to the package, including warnings that it would do little to help the economy recover and grow, that it would add to the federal budget deficit and possibly unleash faster inflation, and that Democrats were violating Mr. Biden’s calls for “unity” by proceeding without bipartisan consensus.

The arguments have so far failed to connect, in part because many of its core provisions poll strongly — even with Republicans.

Fascism is like the Energizer Bunny.

Michele Bachman has already been forgotten.

If the world is flat, why isn’t the edge of the world a tourist destination?

Stop feeding the crazy and ghost her

Greene looks a little too SANE in this comic truth be told . . .

Bernie’s 15 minutes have been going on since 1991…

I have to wonder about reporters sometimes. Why didn’t they ask her this question: “Donald Trump has a Jewish son-in-law. Why don’t you phone up Trump and get him to tell his son-in-law to cut it out? That would stop the fires for sure.”

And with who’s team does she reside?

..well, at least she shows some passion..!

I wonder if the International Fruitcake Tossing Championship has a trebuchet big enough to fling her high enough into space for those orbital lasers to fry her?

You hated Hillary and called up crazy.
