Vicious Ted Cruz: a crusty scab on the body politic: a smear on the road to better things; and a fart into the mouth of democracy.
The Daily Show’s short video biography is a serious hoot. Go past the jump and check it out.

Derek Chauvin was just found guilty of murdering George Floyd. Democrats are in the news, but where are the Republicans? They’re the hardline, pro-police party. They’re guilty of inciting racial murder. We can’t let the GOP pretend this gristly homicide doesn’t touch them.

It’s no surprise that Sen. Ron Johnson is a racist, but what about the GOP? All we hear in response is the sound of Republican silence. Can’t they comment?

Texas and Mississippi cancelled mask mandates and crowding limits. State-level Republican leaders are perfectly willing to kill innocent people so they can pretend they’re manly. Stop pretending they’re working in good faith; they’re perfectly willing for you to suffer and die.
