When GOPers bring the stupid

 Raphael "Ted" Cruz, or, as we prefer to call him, Timex Cruz, just doesn't get it.

On Sunday, Cruz was shredded by former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, now on MSNBC, for starting yet another fight he can't win in the culture wars.

Cruz, you see, raised a stink over a scene in the movie, "Barbie", based on the legendary Mattel toy line, and opening later this week, which purports to depict a map suggesting China's claim to the South China Sea, a claim disputed by the film's producers, Warner Bros., which stated that the map is meant to represent the title character's journey into the real world.

"Barbie". Sesame Street. Dare we think that ol' Timex might be hankering to take a poke at a certain band of reptilian superheroes whose next movie opens in 2 weeks?

What Timex and his fellow GOPers are doing is distracting voters from the issues they'd rather ignore. Then again, a freshman Senator is proving to be just as dumb.

That would be Alabama Senator Tommy (Inner) Tuberville, formerly a football coach at Auburn before he decided to be an idiot and become a politician. Tuberville's sin is blocking military promotions in a misguided protest over the Pentagon offering compensation for travel expenses for female service members needing abortions outside their home states, if you will. Remember, the GOPers have this obsession with eradicating abortion altogether. Senator Innertube would be the kind of rube a certain bloviating baby would choose as a running mate if he can't get a female VP. Gotta ensure the good ol' boy vote, y'know.

Finally, Ronna McDaniel, chairperson of the Republican National Committee, also took some heat on the air, this time from CNN's Chris Wallace, in trying to defend the party's intention to support that same bloviating baby if he ends up convicted of his various crimes.

The bottom line is that the walls are closing in on the bloviating baby, despite his claims to the contrary, which suggests he lives in a mirror universe or something. The Republican Party, more than anything, needs a total overhaul.
