    She is doing all this just so her legacy will be that of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, but if it ends up being a "no-deal" Brexit as foreshadowed, she may end up being regarded as one of the least effective prime ministers in Britain's history.

    Her legacy will always be as one of the worst. Brexit is a clusterf*(& and she is the prime fluffer. The only thing that will make her look better is Boris taking over. Like Bush looks after we got Trump.

    Oh, she's clearly bottom tier. I'm just saying the only way that she'll save face is if this stupid policy that she enacted so she'll get the bigots and the cranks to vote for the Conservative Party (even though said bigots already vote for their own fringe parties, like UKIP and the British National Party) manages to not achieve this level of predictability as depicted in this wonderful piece of stock footage.



    And, of course Boris is running for prime minister. I can't wait to see what bullshit that ape plops out on the campaign trail.

    Just curious about something. I never go on Twitter much except when a news story links to a tweet, typically some inanity by Trump. Most recently, I clicked on the link for when he posted the doctored Nancy Pelosi video (which came from Fox News) the other day. But then when scrolling down a bit, you can see how he retweets Fox News promotional tweets for their Fox Nation, etc. WTF....is this proper for a POTUS to do? Not that anyone seems to be stopping him.

    None of what Trump does is proper. The scandals that would occur for even his minor bulls&^t would be overwhelming to any other Presidency. The problem is that outside of the Congressional Dems, their is no functioning authority left in the US. We have far surpassed a Constitutional crisis. All the Government Agencies he controls and the GOP Senate have decided to back Trump over their country.

    I just find it all so depressing. I'm sure I'm not alone here in thinking Putin is gaming all the countries that he feels facilitated or cheered on the downfall of the USSR. Look at what has happened in Great Britain.

    So far Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan is one member of the GOP that has been bold enough to post about why he feels the president should be impeached. I had hoped for something from Romney but apparently is OK with the Trump zombies. I'm also thinking I'm not alone in thinking McConnell is just as great an evil as Trump since he is a silent enabler also and is blocking bills just like he did with Obama. I keep saying to myself that one day there will be a reckoning but the Dems have to get on track with a plan. Are there enough secret moderates left among the GOP senators that will let their conscience be their guide instead of the Unholy Three of Trump, McConnell and Steven Miller?

    Trump Gives William Barr Wide Declassification Authority In ‘Spying’ Probe

    “President Donald J. Trump directed the intelligence community to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation into surveillance activities during the 2016 Presidential election,” ...
    Sanders noted that Trump had also granted “full and complete authority” to Barr to declassify any information necessary related to his investigation.
    Trump through Barr is turning over Intelligence information about our assets in Russia to Putin. And the GOP Senate is going to enable this sedition.

    Oh WBE! Get a load of this.

    Republican Rep. Chip Roy blocked what would have been a unanimous vote on disaster relief funding legislation because it does not include a "quite modest $4.4 billion" for border security.

    First, they came for the transgenders, and I said nothing because I was cis.

    No Deal Brexit will be a disaster of epic proportions.

    Just another bit of cruelty.

    JUST IN: The Department of Health and Human Services is proposing to roll back protections for transgender people in health care.

    It was on this date in 2015 that “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” had a profile of Randy Rives profiled Norman McAllister, whose legislative record was not the focus of our profile, as much as his arrest for sexually assaulting two women in a sex-for-rent scheme. One of the victims was believed to be an underage girl who worked as an intern for in the state capitol, and another was encouraged to have sex with some of the workers on his farm, with the incentive being that her rent would get even cheaper. For lack of a better term, Norman is scum, and the Vermont State Senate suspended him from the chamber in a 20-10 vote and will not be permitted to return unless the charges against him are dismissed (you’re reading this right, the GOP have not disowned him, and he did not resign). McAllister was eventually found guilty, though, is currently looking at a seven year prison sentence, and will have to register as a sex offender, which makes it pretty unlikely that he’ll be mounting a political comeback.

    In both 2016, 2017, as well as 2018, “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” presented profiles of former Illinois State Senator Kyle McCarter, who was originally appointed to office in 2009, and served three terms in office, winning re-election in 2014 by having the benefit of running unopposed. We’ve had him floating around our queue for quite some time now, starting around the time that we read about McCarter claiming he was punched in the chest by a Democratic State Senator back in 2011. The accused senator, Mike Jacobs, responded to the accusation by saying of McCarter, “I would say the senator is full of s***.” And considering no charges were ever filed, no video proof of this event in the Senate chamber seems to have come out of it, we would tend to agree. Then again, we know how the rest of this profile reads, and how Jacobs may have been understating McCarter’s… shall we say philosophical constipation. In his time in office, McCarter has appeared in the news cycle several times, most frequently because of his irrationally extreme opposition to LGBT rights. In October of 2011, not four months removed from his heated debate with Jacobs, McCarter submitted a bill to try to allow Catholic adoption agencies to refuse to place children in households with same sex parents, because he apparently thinks a child continuing to be an orphan is better than having two parents of the same gender. He’s also blocked anti-bullying legislation because it would protect LGBT students in public schools from being harassed and voted against a ban on gay conversion therapy on minors (even though the practice is considered a human rights violation by some) in the Illinois legislature. But on Valentine’s Day in 2013, Kyle McCarter truly became worthy of our attention. In the wake of the Illinois State Senate voting 34-21 to legalize same sex marriage, despite of McCarter’s ridiculous protests that doing so would force local flower shops and “marriage-related” businesses to close down (when in fact, if they were tolerant and accommodated gay couples, their business would soar),McCarter took to Facebook to seethe about the great majority of the chamber deciding it was time for marriage equality, writing, “To redefine marriage is discriminatory towards those who hold the sincerely held religious belief that it is a sacred institution between a man & a woman.” That’s right… LGBTQ couples being allowed to marry is discriminatory towards McCarter and all his straight pals. Or at least, he says it is, because he’s got things as backwards as they could ever possibly be. He spent the next year attempting to repeal the law, before finally giving up. Mind you, giving up still means he’s been trying to defend his “religious freedom” from “discrimination” by sponsoring the same sorts of “religious freedom” laws seen in Indiana and North Carolina (that have worked out so well for those states’ local economies). On other issues, McCarter says he is “pro-life without apologies”, and supports the potentially disastrous idea of establishing a flat tax. McCarter also has voted against raising the minimum wage in Illinois during the greatest period of income inequality in the United States in almost a century. Kyle McCarter grew ambitious enough in this past election cycle to challenge U.S. House Rep. John Shimkus and see if he couldn’t inject some fresh, even somehow-even-more-conservative blood into the Republican-controlled House. McCarter relentlessly attacked Shimkus on his broken promise, long ago to only serve three terms in Congress, and now he’s on his eleventh term, citing his own dedication to that issue by saying he would not be running for office again in the 2018 midterms for a fourth term for his Illinois State Senate seat. He lost to the veteran climate-change denier, Shimkus, by over twenty points in the 2016 GOP Primary. McCarter did not file for re-election by the deadline or the 2018 elections, but as we feared, in spite of his rampant homophobia, the Trump administration has nominated him to be Ambassador to Kenya, because of course they found employment for this bigoted ****stain. We’re going to go ahead and set aside his profile at this time and go ahead and take a look at a different kooky Republican today instead. (Current crazy/stupid scoreboard, is now 754-40, since this was established in July 2014.)



    Peter Boykin
    Welcome to the 754th original “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” profile, where today we’ll be taking a look at Peter Boykin, a 2018 candidate for District 58 in the North Carolina House of Representatives. Our first and most definitive evidene that Boykin might be a wee bit unbalanced is that he is a former webcam model paid to masturbate for money, is the founder of “Gays for Trump”, and is, of course, showing his support for white nationalism in the above photo. There’s also the fact that Boykin is so LGBTQ-friendly that he defends Mike Pence’s record on LGBTQ rights, calls transgender troops in the U.S. military “mentally challenged”, called for the “T” to be removed from LGBTQ, and warned that transgender military service members would use their service weapons to slaughter their fellow soldiers:

    We’ll also add that Boykin has been an emcee for an Anti-Muslim hate group, Act for America, at events in North Carolina to fear-monger about Islam, where he gave big shout-outs to the white supremacist groups Identity Evropa and the milita group, the Oath Keepers, and the Soldiers of Odin (another organization the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as a hate group).

    Peter Boykin was crushed by over 50 points by Amos Quick, the Democratic incumbent in the 2018 elections. His candidacy will hopefully be the end of his fifteen minutes of fame, but we’re not going to be shocked if he’s dragged on Fox News when Donald Trump says something homophobic during the 2020 election campaign.
