by Noah There's no end to this. How could there be? Every time a republican opens their yapper, out comes the idiocy, bigotry, insanity, and gibberish. For this episode of 2022 GOP Quotes Of The Year I decided to include a couple of lesser known loons out of the so many millions to choose from. It's a bottomless pit. My problem is which lunatics and which quotes do I pick and which ones do I leave on the cutting room floor but, here are a few more of the 2022 pearls of repug wisdumb. 1. Texas' Representative Kevin Brady, as he went into total freak out mode over the news that the tax returns of his beloved Diaper Don would soon be made public: "Our concern is that, if taken, this committee action will set a terrible precedent that unleashes a dangerous new political weapon that reaches far beyond the former president and overturns decades of privacy protections for average Americans that have existed since the Watergate reforms." Brady went on to whine that whoever leads a congressional committee that can get their hands on someone's taxes "will have nearly unlimited power to target and make public the tax returns of private citizens. And not just private citizens: political enemies, business and labor leaders, or even the returns of Supreme Court justices themselves." Well, there's a solution to that ol' Kev. You see, you are a lawmaker. Not only that, you are working in a lawmaking factory. So, lemme spell it out to ya... Oh hell, I know it wasn't your intent but you've just inspired me. Seems to me that if you're worried about someone's tax history being weaponized against them... well, here's my solution to your concern! 1) There's already an institution that's chartered to look into everyone's taxes at will. It's called the IRS, but, 2) How about, if you're so concerned about political weaponization of tax returns, you write up a law that prescribes that anyone seeking to be elected or appointed to public office or a judgeship of any kind be required by law to first submit a complete record of their taxes and I mean totally complete, lifetime, personal, businesses, all of it. Just get that thing right out of the way. No worries! Everyone gets into office or sits on the bench without fear of being found to be a tax cheat or financial criminal of some sort. If they get elected after any untoward revelations, they've already been outed so any future weaponization is minimal. And, no blackmail for being a closeted tax cheat either! Of course, I would prefer that if they don't do that very simple thing of showing us their tax info, they are disqualified from running for anything. Such a law could even prevent the IRS from, say, hiding a presidential candidate's tax info for six years like the currently corrupt IRS that your fellow Republicans are always whining did with your Dear Leader! And, by the way, Kev, start with showing us your own taxes! By the looks of you, that's about 100 years worth or so. Why are you sooo nervous about this? Do you have something you're hiding? Anyway, the ideal would be that voters, aka we the people, can see a thorough record of a judge's or politician's finances and how they get their money, at least the stuff that isn't just cash stuffed into their pockets by the K Street Bribery Squads or other mobster types, and decide right there and then, well before they even get on the ballot or nominated for a position. And make it ongoing of course, too! How about yearly public tax returns reveal parties? Put it all out in the open so we can get more of a sense of the candidate. Let's make it retroactive, too! I want to see the tax records of all 9 Supreme Court "Justices" pronto! Let's see who's paying Alito for what! Let's see if Clarence Thomas has been declaring his "Long Dong Silver" porno dvds as a legitimate business expense. Let's see if Matt Gaetz has been doing the same with after school happy meal expenses. I also want to know how much Tucker and Sean get for being contributors on Russian State Television, or does that all just go directly to FOX "News" Corporation? This could be turned into a whole new reality TV show, and why not?
2. Arizona's Representative Debbie Lesko: “I have five grandchildren. I would do anything— anything— to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren.” Ah! Only as a "last resort!" What a relief! This latest pride of Arizona said this as she took to the House floor to oppose a federal gun safety law. An election denier endorsed by no less than Traitor Don himself, a majority of her constituents decided they loved what she stands for and she won re-election in November. She will continue to represent AZ-8. Should her family allow her to even see her grandchildren? Will something horrific happen in the future? Is she batcrap insane? Match the picture above with the words and decide for yourself.
3. GOP Georgia $enate Candidate Herschel Walker: "This erection is about the people." Yep, that's what he said, right on Hannity! Well, maybe it was about the erection for Lindsey. He certainly was always very close by! So was "Ted" Cruz. Kinda funny how, ever since Herschel (hand-picked by Traitor Don himself) lost his erection, or er, a, election, neither Lindsey nor "Ted" have been seen anywhere with Herschel. Talk about fair weather friends! This was one gruesome buddy movie that started as a holiday in Hell and went downhill from there. Hell, they don't even mention his name on FOX "News" anymore! Herschel? Herschel who?
