More Republican Sour Cream

 After the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) decided to pause the release of 1-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccines due to blood clots surfacing on some patients, former president Donald Trump issued another of his lame-ass statements, where, as usual, he refused to admit he was wrong about the November election, continuing to claim it was stolen more than five months after it took place, and claimed that the FDA paused the J & J vaccine for political reasons.

As usual, Citizen Pampers is wrong. If the FDA was biased against Johnson & Johnson, a well known brand best known for shampoo and being the parent company of McNeil & Co., the makers of Tylenol, they wouldn't have approved the vaccine. But they did. Trump still wants credit for initiating the approval of the Pfizer vaccine, but he isn't going to get it. He doesn't care that there are investigations against him in New York and elsewhere that would expose how much of a fraud he really has been his entire public career. So he keeps feeding garbage to the Legion of The Brainwashed, giving them false hope.

It's what con men do.

Before we continue, let us introduce you to the new mascot of the Republican Party. You might know him from your childhood if you're a baby boomer.

Vincent Van Gopher was a frenemy of Deputy Dawg back in the 60's. Gophers are known to have poor vision, which is why I now refer to the Republicans as GOPers. It fits. They've blinded themselves to reality, pinning their faith on the most famous con man this side of Joe Isuzu.

I would use another Terrytoons character, Silly Sidney, the elephant, but I already gave his ID to Sidney Powell.

In Washington, Josh Bawley and Ted "Sea" Cruz heled a presser earlier announcing that they would introduce legislation to strip Major League Baseball of its anti-trust protections, just because commissioner Rob "Mighty" Manfred dared to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta due to the signing of a reportedly restrictive voter rights bill into law. This same legislation prompted director Antoine Fuqua and actor-rapper Will Smith to pull a planned feature film out of Atlanta before production began. Bawley, Cruz, and other GOPers are calling for boycotts of Coca-Cola (good luck with that) and Delta Airlines because of their objections.

See what I mean about being blind to reality?

This is what happens when the GOPers panic after Citizen Pampers got smacked down at the polls, and they lost two Georgia Senate seats in January. They still need to bow down to the false king to appease him. The Georgia voting rights law will get smacked down as well, eventually. The only part I agree with is the need to show ID, which makes sense. Suppressing minority & elderly voters? Not so much.

Just remember. The Republicans have used an elephant for years as a symbol of strength. Since they've weakened themselves, well, they deserve Mr. Van Gopher.
