Tonight’s #FridayLimericks spotlight @JRMajewski, who, um… 🤦♂️ #LimerickRhyme
Though he’s seeking to help write our laws,
Now Majewski is grasping at straws.
He has plenty to say—
But he’s lying all day,
Throwing crap out to cover his flaws.
He’s a nut job who doesn’t belong—
And on every position he’s wrong.
But the GOP cheats’
Gerrymandering feats
Gave a chance where he doesn’t belong. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2022/05/27/fed…
JR’s fully a Q-Anon nut;
Skips the facts and talks straight from his butt.
He was there in the mix
To attack on 1/6–
Which alone means he can’t make the cut. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
This unqualified oaf got his bump
As the craziest fanboy for Trump.
But the stories he’s told
Are as false as they’re bold;
Just a guy whom Ohio should dump. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
The guy claimed an Afghanistan tour,
But it’s just JR’s falsehood du jour.
Now he’s doubling down
Like a sad two-bit clown;
Dude keeps talking and spreading manure. pbs.org/newshour/polit…
This guy’s lie’s so uncommonly bad
That he’s gone from appalling to sad.
Even GOP hacks
Feel there’s too much he lacks:
Just another faux-warrior cad. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
While JR tries to cover his ass,
Marcy Kaptur’s still leading with class.
There’s a nation at stake;
If you vote by the lake,
You must turn out for Kaptur en masse.
At first glance, the GOP plans for this country make little sense. None has popular appeal. None makes the lives of most citizens better. But if you view it all as a plan for subjugation, it starts to make sense. (Thread) #ResistanceUnited #LiveBlue2022
First, a note. They are saying things out loud now that they wouldn’t have not long ago. That’s because they believe they’ve gerrymandered themselves a House win, and lied their way to as many statewide seats as they can. They think they’ve gamed their way to votes not mattering.
And the truth is, they are close. So many people vote against their interests, or sit out entirely. Democrats need to work harder than ever to get voters to act on their own behalf. 2022 may be one of the last chances to do so.
Your choice in every race should begin with a fundamental question: which of these candidates seems more interested in serving constituents, and which is here to serve themselves? And right now, under the rhetoric, the answer is clear. (Thread) #ResistanceUnited #LiveBlue2022
1. If candidates do not take the time to really know the district or state or the issues that matter, those candidates are in it for themselves.
2. If candidates are fighting to exclude or limit rights for women, minorities, LGBTQ individuals, or other groups of people, those candidates are in it for themselves.
As @NRSC fritters and funnels away money, I am not shedding tears. But for those who donate to Republicans, this is a microcosm within a macrocosm worth understanding. (Thread) #ResistanceUnited #LiveBlue2022
The short version: the entire Republican structure today is the equivalent of a Ponzi scheme. This phrase gets thrown out often by republicans, without any understanding or context—like Ron Burgundy’s “When in Rome.” So let’s look at the red flags.
1. High returns with little or no risk. GOP fundraising emails regularly tout matching donations of 5x, 6x, even 1000% matching. So much money they add, so they can fight whatever liberal chimera they want to invent for the moment. Your money goes so far!
Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to @RudyGiuliani, still medically unable to shut up. #LimerickRhyme
So please stop if you’ve heard this before:
Giuliani is talking some more.
He’s not making much sense,
And he’s still kind of dense:
Thinks he’s still Trump’s (unpaid) legal whore.
As a mayor who claimed to be great,
His police force was guided by hate.
His entire claim to fame,
Tinged with racism’s shame—
Which was probably Trump’s most-loved trait. theguardian.com/us-news/2014/n…
From that point, Rudy’s path became short
To become the grand fool in Trump’s court.
It’s a sad sort of preen;
He just wants to be seen—
In a sad kind of spectator sport.
We’re going to see many bursts of self-serving faux patriotism from the GOP and its media acolytes for Independence Day. While you read them, it’s worth considering what they really stand for. (Thread)
They will pretend to celebrate our Independence Day as a symbol of freedom, while many denigrate Ukraine in its own fight for independence and freedom from Russian tyranny.
They will pretend to celebrate our independence from England while they try to install permanently their own religious power structure—much like the Church of England did.
As @DrOz transitions to selling GOP snake oil, #FridayLimericks look to set the record straight. #LimerickRhyme
When a doctor decides to compete
For his own undeserved Senate seat,
It may make sense to look
Whether that guy’s a crook
Who is seeking a state to deplete.
We can start with the venue he chose;
Pennsylvania’s an odd place to pose.
Why’d the campaign go roam
Someplace so far from home?
This is not Mehmet’s place of repose. huffpost.com/entry/dr-oz-se…
There are facts that we shouldn’t conflate;
As a surgeon, he used to be great.
But from first TV cash,
Mehmet flipped in a flash,
And his standards were quick to abate. vox.com/2015/4/16/8412…
