This week in GOP stupidity

 "Dumb Donald is really dumb!"---Gene Rayburn, Match Game, 1973-84.

Donald Trump is SO desperate to avoid accountability, he has had his ambulance chasers try to have a subpoena issued against NBC-Universal-Comcast. claiming collusion in relation to a documentary on adult film actress Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford), whose case against Trump goes to court on April 15.


Judge Juan Merchan, who has taken more abuse from the Archduke of Affluenza than legally allowed, blocked the subpoena, referring to this attempt as nothing more than a fishing expedition. Earlier in the week, Trump continued his unhinged attacks on Merchan and his daughter, only to have a pre-existing gag order expanded so that it has to stop. As if that'll happen. Trump responds to such rebuke by acting like a spoiled child, an embarrassing situation for a man whose physical age is closer to 80 than 8.

The more Trump leads with his mouth, the more he gets in trouble. And that's entirely his fault.

This morning's earthquake didn't have much of an effect in the hometown, but it was felt in New York City and New Jersey.

And, because she feels she needs a headline per day, Georgia Misrepresentative Empty-G (Marjorie Taylor Greene) took a page from the late Pat Robertson's playbook, and claimed the earthquake was an act of God, and, in her twisted mind, so is the solar eclipse set for Monday.

Greene, like Robertson before her, believes that God is responsible because He wants Americans to repent for their sins. Apparently, Congress' Dumb Dora failed science class in high school and/or college, as several commenters on Yahoo! and social media roasted Greene, and schooled her on why earthquakes happen in the first place.

It's kind of weird for Greene to invoke God, but, then again, she and other Republicans try to wrap themselves around their pseudo-Christian beliefs to keep their evangelical supporters snowed.

As a Christian myself, I'm insulted by people like Greene.
