“There is nothing I want more than to have you stand toe to toe with me. You stand toe to toe with me. I rip your head off. You die. You stand in a situation where it is physical between you and me. You die," Smith allegedly said in one message. “I will never stop. … And I would love to destroy you and rip your (obscenity) head from your shoulders. That is no problem. Call that a threat. Send the FBI. I would love to (obscenity) kill you. I would love to see your FBI at my door. I would love to see something in the news.” —Kevin Patrick Smith, man pleading innocent after being charged with threatening a US Senator with death

They are truly the Know-Nothing Party™

"We can't trust you people," he insisted. "We can't trust Republicans; we can't trust Democrats. I don't know what it is. Just don't vote on it."

"Everything you people do is bad, and now we're going to have a moment of silence," he said.

After pausing for a few seconds, Gomez offered his praise of the three leaders.

"Long live Trump; long live Putin; long live DeSantis," he said. "And all you people should be thrown in jail."

Any other raving, petulant child would be kept inside by his adult children, away from neighbors who might spread the news of his emotional instability and intellectual decline (not that his intellect was very high to begin with). Instead, we have a nation, and even a Congress, filled with people who either honestly believe the baby-man's words, or find it politically and/or financially expedient to agree with him. At the very least, all but a handful of members provide silent assent. This is how the "great American experiment" dies; not with a bang, but with a screaming toddler.

The political party of "smaller government" and "fewer regulations" has spent the first days of 2023 declaring itself to be both the Fashion Police™ and the Language Police™.

Fuck the police.

The know-nothing party has no idea what the word 'compromised' means. It exists as one of their many boogeymen, like 'communism' and 'Benghazi' before it.

The GOP is the epitome of Bad Faith Negotiation.

They have no intention of actually governing, and I doubt they ever did.

I love the infighting. It's amazing that every tiny faction thinks that the entire party's success depends on their faction being appeased by everyone else.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the federal government to preserve Texas’ ability to discriminate against couples.

It's always been about States' Rights™, folks. Nothing against those people, but they're just not people in the eyes of the .

Senator Tom Cotton is a member of the party of "NO."

Whatever it is, if there's a Democrat supporting it, then Tom Cotton is against it. I loathe politicians of his ilk in particular.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is a danger to the health and safety of the residents of the State of Florida.

This is what happens when the anti-fact, anti-knowledge, anti-science GOP controls a state's government.
