Ronny Is Self-Medicating Again*

Hey Ronny, there is zero evidence that President Biden did this; you are lying once again. You’re lucky that @elonmusk let’s you post misinformation and there are no repercussions. @RonnyJacksonTX pic.twitter.com/S4erE4MmHv

*What? It’s as credible as what he wrote, and probably closer to the truth.

Speaking of misinformation:

But this was NOT “election interference!” Well, unless it helped Democrats, that is. You know, like this wasn’t:

In 2020, Sens Grassley and Johnson funneled through their committees Russian disinformation provided to them and Rudy Giuliani by a Russian intelligence agent in order to damage candidate Joe Biden.

It was a gross abuse of power and a “weaponization of the federal government.”

"Election interference” is not an action with defined criminal elements. It’s just a complaint.  Somebody needs to explain that to "Police Officer" Higgins:

Clay Higgins is on Laura Ingraham's show insisting that the ex-Twitter officials he intimidated during a hearing yesterday will be arrested for "probable cause" of crimes he can't specify. Even Ingraham thinks he's full of it. What an embarrassment. pic.twitter.com/MqQsYnX49v

And then there are the useful idiots:

Fun fact: Senator Grassley's absurd claim of Clinton-Russia "collusion" is Russian disinformation. He & Ron Johnson have pushed another arm of this fake narrative—"Ukraine collusion." Kilimnik & other agents of Russia placed this propaganda in the press, per Senate Intel Report. https://t.co/bp0ZeDKZD8 pic.twitter.com/kjjcuFfga2

And MTG really does think she's a Very Privileged Character:

'Just screaming': 'Irrational' Marjorie Taylor Greene hurls profanity at spy balloon briefing https://t.co/hcnoyvbCMI

— Raw Story (@RawStory) February 10, 2023

“When she got to ask questions, she was yelling out saying ‘bulls---’ and, you know, ‘I don’t believe you,’” said that lawmaker. “Just screaming and yelling, irrational in my estimation.”

In a statement to The Hill, Greene was unapologetic for her behavior: “I had to wait in line the whole time. I was, I think, the second to last person, and I chewed them out just like the American people would’ve,” she said. “I tore ‘em to pieces.”

She also: A) doesn't understand what actually happened and, B) thinks she's Marie of Romania:

“I said the president may be a Democrat but he’s still the president of the United States and they made him look like a fool and made him look weak the week before the State of the Union — I’ve said that publicly, too — by not shooting it down,” Greene recalled. “And I said there was nothing I heard there today that gave me any confidence in what they did.”

“They tried to give me some more excuses and I said, ‘I don’t want to hear more of your excuses,’” Greene said when asked about how others in the room reacted to her time at the microphone. “He said, ‘well it’s a matter of opinion.’ I said ‘no, you’re nothing but excuses and it’s wrong and I’m just telling you, this is how the American people see it and it’s a serious problem.’”

Intelligence is clearly something the unintelligent cannot comprehend.  How dare they tell her what she doesn't want to hear?! And how dare they make Karen wait?!

Even Mitch McConnell wants to stop this train to crazytown:

From that same interview:

“Speaker McCarthy said Social Security and Medicare are not to be touched and I’ve said the same. And I think we’re in a more authoritative position to state what the position of the party is than any single senator.”

Except he sounds more like Cartman ("Respect mah authoritah!") than a guy who's actually in charge.  I mean, if you've gotta tell people you're the boss, you ain't the boss.

Springsteen never has to tell people.  QED.

I think it's pretty clear most of the GOP is getting high on its own supply. And the minority don't know whether to shit, or go blind.
