When GOPers bring the stupid

 In light of former president Donald Trump being indicted for a 3rd time Tuesday, well, of course, the oldest baby in America lashed out with the same tired rhetoric and lies, because it's all he has. A 77 year old former president with the impulse control of a 2 year old.

Still, while its numbers are dwindling, the Legion of The Brainwashed will still support him, even though they don't really understand why. Because he won't tell you the truth, and you buy into his Joe Isuzu act.

Two rivals, Senator Tim Scott (South Carolina) and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, are trying to defend him while also campaigning against Trump. That's self-defeating all by itself.

And, then, there is Senator Innertube, aka former Auburn & Cincinnati football coach Tommy Tuberville.

The freshman Senator from Alabama has blocked 55 Biden administration appointments for lame reasons. In response, the Biden administration reversed a Trump administration ruling that would move the Space Force from its base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama. Senator Innertube's grandstanding, obstruction, and posturing has cost his home state potentially millions in revenue and thousands of prospective jobs.

Farron Cousins explains:


Tuberville couldn't win the big one with any consistency at Auburn, which, of course, means beating Alabama in the Iron Bowl every November. So he finished his coaching career in Cincinnati, and wasn't exactly great shakes there. He was elected because of name recognition from his Auburn days, but you couldn't trust him to judge a pig race any more than you could allow him to remain in Washington. He's counting on voters forgetting about this latest debacle, or allowing him to deflect the blame to President Biden, but, as Farron notes, the reality is that Tuberville did this to his own home state because he is bending the knee to an even worse political wackjob.

As they say, you reap what you sow.
