Candy ass fake tough guy and Capitol Storming Barbie.

What a pair of douchebags.

Thing is, I worry that Rudy has lost all contact with the reality of his situation and no number of lawsuits will ever et him to shut up.

This time the suit is specifically to enact an order that Rudy can't lie about them again. And if he does, the court can further punish him with fines and/or prison time.

The minute Rudy started speaking in front of the press outside the courthouse, you could see his aides and lawyers trying to shove him in the car because they KNEW he was going to lie again and end up right back in court and risking another huge settlement. His ego thinks he can get the last word and lie his way out of anything.

His American story will only get more and more embarrassing.

The lack of consequences applied to conservative politicians and their mouthpieces has led to this.

Just more fines he'll never pay.

Someone should have told Thomas that living beyond your means is a certain way of running up a lot of debt.

Clarence Thomas: Welfare Mom, sucking on the government's teat.

It's to do with how coalitions work in Israel. Basically Netanyahi has been able to make deals with other parties to prop him up

Because he is the only one willing to give extremists on the right everything they want.

From the E Jean Carrol blueprint: If they keep running their moths, they have not learned the lesson, sue again.
Of course, in Donald's case, an additional financial punishment actually was meaningful. Rudy already lost everything he owns and will ever own.

Which is why Rudy keeps on babbling like the proverbial brook because he has nothing left to lose....except praise from Trump for continuing to be a loyal soldier. Of course, Trump will never acknowledge that, hell, maybe he's already written off Rudy as just another disposable asset tossed in the trash.

On this date in 2014, 2015, 2016, as well as 2017, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day posted profiles of Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, who has expressed a desire to pass anti-immigrant laws in his state similar to Arizona’s controversial SB1070, tried to prevent a single Syrian refugee from being resettled into his state, and has signed a myriad of insane bills that have hit his desk from Republicans in the Tennessee state legislature, including ones to legalize firearms being carried in state and local parks (because we need headlines about playgrounds being turned into battlegrounds), prevent sex education teachers from discussing “gateway sexual activities” like touching of the thigh or buttocks, ordering welfare recipients to be drug tested (which proved again to be a failed policy where they only found 1 person out of 812 until a judge overturned the law), and legalizing the use of the electric chair for executions in his state again. Gov. Haslam also spent some time arguing with a federal judge that same-sex marriage should be allowed in his state, filing an appeal because the decision was “frustrating the will of the people of Tennessee”. It has been a mostly quiet year for Gov. Haslam, as he has gone into full lame duck mode now that he’s term-limited as governor… and the federal fraud scandal surrounding his family’s trucking company made him think twice about running for U.S. Senate to replace the retiring Sen. Bob Corker in 2018. So this very well will be our last entry about Bill Haslam, who we hope will spend his future trying to hide from federal investigators, and watching his brother’s NFL team, the Cleveland Browns, continue to be the laughing stock of football.

On this date in both 2019, as well as 2020, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” first profiled Oklahoma State Senator Joseph Silk, who was first elected to the Oklahoma State Senate back in 2014, specifically to represent District 5 in that body. Silkwas of particular concern to us because of his aspirations for higher office, seeking to be the next U.S. House Representative for Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressoinal District, challenging CSGOPOTD Markwayne Mullin. Joseph Silk first came to our attention a few years ago in January of 2017 when he submitted legislation to make it possible for Oklahoma to secede from the union. No, really, this numbnuts was ready to go full Antebellum South Carolina and have Oklahoma secede from the union, because it’s not like we know how that would go after having had a Civil War at one point, you know? Maybe folks shouldn’t be so surprised, considering he campaigned for office on nullifying federal law. When he submitted legislation in the Oklahoma state legislature that specifically would classify any attempt at terminating a pregnancy as criminal murder, and he was very clear that he didn’t care if the procedure was being performed to save a mother’s life. The doctor performing the procedure would be charged with murder, and there was no indication in the writing of the bill if the mother or other medical staff would also be charged as an accessory or not. And in case you were wondering… this would, under Oklahoma law, mean the doctor performing the procedure would be charged with a capitol offense, and face the death penalty. Facing criticism, a jaded Silk responded: “We either protect life as a state, or we don’. A 4-week-old fetus in the womb is no different than a 1-year-old child.” So zygotes and toddlers. Same difference. Let’s execute any doctor who disagrees with that in the interest of saving a woman’s life. As you might expect from a Fundamentalist lunatic who argues that not only is there no separation of church and state, but that the two are inherently intertwined, and was the co-sponsor of Oklahoma’s attempts to legalize putting monuments of the Ten Commandments on state property, Silk has also submitted bills to make it legal to discriminate against LGBTQ citizens (called the Right of Conscience Act), for adoption agencies to refuse to allow LGBTQ couples from adopting children (Heaven forbid they end up finding a child a loving home!), and supported legislation to discriminate against transgender citizens using public bathrooms. And wouldn’t you know it? He has ties to the anti-gay hate group, the Family Research Council. But Silk’s weirdness isn’t limited to just God-fearing ideas. Back in 2016, he submitted a bill to study the effects of “EMP Pulse Attacks” upon the electrical grid, even though such a weapon is not believed to exist. We’re going to wrap up by pointing out that Joseph Silk is running for Congress because he feels the GOP leadership in the Oklahoma state legislature is “too liberal”, which blows our minds considering some of the profiles we’ve run on Oklahoma state legislators over the past five years. But yes, that’s his reason. At this point, even his attendance record is pathetic, as he’s missed almost a third, literally almost a third of the votes in the Oklahoma State Senate this session. And… he wants to go to Congress, based on his performance record, by running to the right of Markwayne Mullin. Mercifully, he lost, only getting 12% of the vote.

On this date in 2021, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” profiled Nellie “Truly” Heiskell, a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 18th Congressional Distric who was hoping to unseat fourteen-term Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Her campaign strategy involved appearing with positively bats*** former Florida Congressman and at-the-time inexplicably the Chairman of the Texas GOP Allen West, and like many Texas Republicans, made it a point to bastardize Christian scripture to justify conservative policies, including defunding Planned Parenthood and building a border wall along the U.S./Mexico border, which is exactly the sort of xenophobic message Jesus talked about in the New Testament, no doubt. OH WAIT, THAT’S THE OPPOSITE MESSAGE. Nellie Heiskell also is yet the latest in our seemingly never-ending line of Republicans who ran for Congress in 2020 who were promoting the Qanon conspiracy, linking to videos from Qanon accounts on her Twitter page. It didn’t seem to help her, as Nellie Heiskell got all of 638 votes in her attempt to get elected to Congress, which translated to finishing sixth out of a possible six candidates in the GOP Primary, with 6.5% of the vote.

On this date in 2018, as well as 2022, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” first profiled Everett Corley, a “perennial candidate” still trying to gain political office, failing to win the GOP nomination for Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016, losing in the primary for District 43 of the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2012 and 2014, and losing in the general election for that same seat in the 2018 elections after coming up far short with only 21% of the vote. We have must also note in our article that Everett Corley was born Corley Everett, but changed his name a couple years ago for unexplained “family reasons”. Those reasons may or may have not had something to do with the fact that Corley Everett was endorsed by the white supremacist American Freedom Party along side Neo-Nazi candidate Robert Ransdell back in 2014. Among the things known about Corley or Everett or… this guy… he had a Facebook page that frequently defended the Confederacy (including calling a Louisville professor a “damn dirty black bastard” for supporting the removal of Confederate monuments), supported Donald Trump’s stupid idea for a border wall on the U.S./Mexico border, or shared the sort white nationalist rhetoric (i.e. lies) about white farmers in Rhodesia being run off by black ones. The “campaign themes” that were on Corley’s 2016 campaign website included his desire wants to interpret the 2nd Amendment as having zero restrictions (which is still insane), what’s probably far more heinous to see Corley referring to immigration as “cultural suicide” and that allowing birthright citizenship affects the “cultural integrity” of the United States. Corley also called for eliminating the Department of Education and creating “personal accounts” for Social Security, which sounds like he doesn’t understand how it even works. But changing his name and pretending like his views weren’t explicitly racist was a harder strategy for Everett Corley to continue while just hoping that no one noticed. Because man, did his past catch up to him in a big way. In 2014, around the time the American Freedom Party was endorsing him, Corley Everett (who is still the same guy) appeared on the Youtube show “The EthnoState” back in 2014 with avowed white nationalist William Johnson, and aired several racial grievances during the hour long broadcast, including (but not limited to):

• His belief that white voters in western Louisville's Portland neighborhood are "completely surrounded" because of a Democratic plot where "It's a bunch of white liberals and minorities who've conspired together to cut the white working class out of power."
• His quote about the white nationalist group endorsing him that, “One thing that struck me about the American Freedom Party, if you’re a minority you can belong to all these groups that champion your ethno background but you certainly have very little to do as a European or a Caucasian America."
• His anecdotal story about black on white bullying in schools (that likely wasn’t happening because conveniently had no names or details to corroborate it).
• An extended rant about Sen. Mitch McConnell’s marriage to Secretary Elaine Chao:
  

  "I certainly feel that we should maintain our people and our culture as much as anyone else, and that's a post, and I’m not saying this in a bad way, but that’s a post, shall we say marriage that has not borne any children or anything. That’s simply a marriage of companionship, you understand what I’m saying? I don’t think he’s trying to make a statement about children on that marriage, I just simply think that that’s someone he relates to on an interpersonal relationship. But be that as it may, that primarily is not what I’m, his marriage is not my problem, you know what I’m saying?"

Once the 2014 interview resurfaced, Everett Corley had the balls to try to claim he didn’t understand what kind of show the “EthnoState” was, or what Johnson’s aims were (which, it’s pretty easy to call bulls***, considering the interview’s content), saying, "If I made any mistake it wasn't doing my homework. I engaged in some hyperbole, but that was all due to my anger over redistricting. If he said he was a racist, a neo-Nazi or a member of the Klan, I would have hung up." If there was only one part of the interview that really damned Everett Corley in the eyes of the Kentucky GOP, and that was that he and Johnson discussed the marriage between Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. Up until that point, mind you, they had nothing to say about all the white nationalist things he was up to. Speaking ill of McConnell or his wife is as close to political suicide as a Republican can make in Kentucky, in any event, so even though he’s only 55, we’re thinking that he might give up on trying to win political office and just spend his weekends out at cross burnings to pass the time instead. And yet, Everett Corley still persistently registers as a Republican candidate to get his white nationalist ass kicked in election after election, losing in the GOP primary in 2022 for District 26 of the Kentucky State Senate and finishing third with just 21% of the vote. We don’t know how many times we’ll have to update this bigot’s profile, but at least he’s consistently losing, and that at least makes mentioning him put a smile on our face. We will set aside his profile at this time to profile another wacky Republican today instead. (Current crazy/stupid scoreboard, is now 1267-60, since this was established in July 2014.


Brian Kelsey
Welcome to what is the 1267th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be profiling former Tennessee State Senator Brian Kelsey, who served District 31 from 2009-2022. The reason we can say “former” State Senator is because Kelsey had aspirations for higher office, and ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District, and in his attempt to elevate himself to Washington, D.C., he committed quite a bit of campaign finance fraud. He opted to not run for re-election in 2022, and was found guilty August of 2023, and sentenced to one year and nine months in prison. (So we don’t gloss over it completely, we’ll point out that the American Conservative Union was implicated in the case, run by extremist right-win kingpin and alleged non-consensual d***-grabber, Matt Schlapp.)

Not surprisingly, Kelsey tried blaming his criminal activity on being a “witch hunt” carried out by President Biden.

Other than being corrupt, we can also point out that his removal from office isn’t a loss based on his voting record:

• April 25th, 2012: Brian Kelsey votes for SB 2580, a bill that’s a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment, trying to force welfare recipients to undergo drug testing for drugs they can’t afford anyway.
• April 9th, 2014: Kelsey votes for SB 2580, a bill to bring back the electric chair as a method of execution in Tennessee.
• April 20th, 2016: Kelsey votes for HB 615, an obviously unconstitutional attempt to establish the Bible as Tennessee’s state book.
• April 23rd, 2018: Brian Kelsey votes for HB 2381, to allocate taxpayer dollars towards building a “Monument to the Unborn”.
  [*[June 19th, 2020: Kelsey votes for HB 2263, an attempt to ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, aka at 6 weeks before most women even realize they’re pregnant.
• March 1st, 2021: Brian Kelsey votes for an anti-trans bill to force public school athletes to participate only in sports that for their biological sex.
• February 9th,, 2021: Kelsey sponsors SB 623, an attempt to prohibit teaching “Critical Race Theory” in public schools, hich no one was teaching anyway.

Suffice to say, we can say “GOOD RIDDANCE”.
