You know what? I’m sick of this bullshit. The United States is in a delicate situation politically. Republicans have become so evil that I’ve lost all respect for the lot of them. If they remain with the party, then I regard them individually as part of a dangerous political cult and therefore revolutionaries. They are not merely a threat to this country’s government, but a threat to all citizens of the United States.

Make no mistake: that shit show by Ted Cruz, who is supposed to be a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, was nothing short of disgusting and an embarrassment before the world. He showed stupidity, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance of the Constitution and plain, old-fashioned lunacy and wasn’t aware of just how terrible he looked.

Cruz is the kind of guy who you alternately have to laugh at and then want to get piss-drunk over because he’s an actual senator. He is the definition of the Ugly American; he sees things in the tiniest of views possible and still can’t understand what he really sees. For an allegedly magna cum laude law school graduate, and I say allegedly because that boggles my mind; he’s so incredibly stupid.

But Republicans appeared to have, at least one or two of them, castigated Cruz for his performance, which more closely resembled a toilet overflowing than a senator questioning a United States Supreme Court nominee. How brave of them!

But he’s only the poster boy for one symptom of the radicalism infecting the Republicans. The latest has to be Ginni Thomas, wife of the Sleeping Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, who is missing in action and a forbidden subject for the Republicans, who refuse to even say if he’s still in the hospital or not, following a stay for an infection. The reason is fodder for conspiracy theories but it’ll come out. That’s Mitch McConnell hoping Thomas doesn’t croak and leave another seat for Biden to fill.

Ginni Thomas is a right-wing– wait. I was going to say “activist”, but that’s far too understated. Her texts make her look as if Donald Trump was doing a weird Rasputin thing on her.

As if that day weren’t sickening enough, horrifying enough, now we (I’m just getting this) hear and see proof that the wife of a Supreme Court Judge was engaged in the insurrection with some truly astounding language. I’ll never again be caught in surprise by Republicans.

But I am still waiting for key Democrats to grow a pair. Perhaps then the Ginni Thomas types will shut their mouth and know their role.
