The Republican Party has become a collection of stone-cold killers, who have never seen a single life worth saving just as long as there is enough money involved to allow them to cock their fat heads and look the other way.

More than 60 people, including two dozen children at a summer camp, are dead in Texas because of yet another tragedy that might have been prevented if one of the two major parties in this failing country would come to its warped senses and take the deadly heating of our planet seriously.
You are goddamned right I am going to politicize this gruesome event this afternoon.
I am absolutely furious and will call this what it is, with the hope everybody who has a brain in their head will join me. Are you listening, corporate media?
The Republican Party has had it out for America and Americans for decades.
They are a collection of stone-cold killers, who have never seen a single life worth saving just as long as there is enough money involved to allow them to cock their fat heads and look the other way.
Whether it’s climate change, guns, healthcare, a woman’s right over her body, poisoning our air and water, or rounding up hardworking landscapers and shoving them in alligator-protected detention camps, these bloodthirsty ghouls have proven to the world time and time again they aren’t interested in preventing catastrophes, they are interested in causing them.
Vaccines are being wiped away, measles are making a comeback, and more children will die needlessly because the sickly orange ghoul inside in the White House intentionally appointed a complete madman to incinerate our Department of Health and Human Services.
My God, even tooth decay is making a comeback in America because Republicans throughout the country, starting in Utah and Florida (it’s ALWAYS Florida), are removing fluoride from our drinking water.
Here’s a quote from the aforementioned madman, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on his attack on clean teeth:
”The more (fluoride) you get, the stupider you are, and we need smart kids in this country, and we need healthy kids.”
Are you reading this?
People who wear masks to suppress the spread of deadly disease are the enemy in Trump’s America, and people like Trump who attack our country are praised by the monster as “great people.”
What the hell are we supposed to do with this?
These Republicans aren’t interested in alleviating pain and suffering, they are interested in bringing it.
This heinous disaster along the Guadalupe River this weekend might have never happened if Republicans weren’t certifiable monsters.
Flash-flooding due to astronomical bursts of rain are happening with increasing frequency across the globe, and most certainly Texas, where they have become a regular deadly occurrence. In fact, it is the No. 1 storm-related killer across America. This is due to a fast-heating planet caused by burning fossil fuels.
There’s no dispute here. There’s no question.
So what do Republicans do?
They call it all “a hoax.”
THAT’S what they do.
Oh, and they also do whatever is inhumanly possible to make it worse. Because they ALWAYS make things worse. They attack science, and places like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is working tirelessly to study our warming planet and sound the alarms to millions of people who refuse to listen.
So what do Republicans do?
They devote pages and pages to it in their roadmap toward the end, Project 2025, where they describe NOAA as the “climate change alarm industry” adding “it should be broken up and downsized.”
Which, of course, is exactly what they are doing.
Public servants are treated as public enemies, and heinous Republicans treat themselves to the spoils by moving money from these vital programs into the bank accounts of the bloated billionaires who then move them around the halls of Congress to do their ghastly bidding.
So, tell me again how the tragedy in Texas and thousands of other places aren’t a byproduct of this sickening, soulless political game.
And when things get bad, I mean REAL bad like they are this weekend, here’s what else Republicans do every single time:
They pray.
Here’s House Speaker Mike Johnson this morning, out Mike-Johnsoning himself in response to the senseless deaths of our children:
“In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does … all we know to do at this moment is pray.”
All the man who laid the groundwork for this massive loss of life knows to do is pray. All the man who degrades science and the people whose groundbreaking work can save lives knows to do is pray.
Johnson is a gruesome, pointy-nosed little man, who has never grown out of his oily smugness. Whenever he has nowhere to go, which is often, the man who would sooner burn a book than read one, leans on his two-ton Bible to keep him in the neighborhood of straight.
Lately he’s been seen on his knees of OUR House floor praying for the passage of a bill that will mean unmitigated holy hell for millions of Americans, who will no longer have healthcare or protections from killer storms like the one we are dealing with in Texas.
His orange idol uses him as a Christian circus prop while he fills his bottomless pockets with money that should be going to hardworking Americans who so desperately need it.
How long will we continue to let them get way with this?
How long will we put up with devils like this who make things easier for killer diseases, killer storms, and outright killers in Minnesota to wipe us out?
When the next ghastly shooting happens in one of our schools, and Republicans hit their knees to pray, we better be crystal-clear that the blood will already be on their clasped hands.
Among scores of poisonous ingredients that are stuffed into their big, brutal bill that are too awful to imagine was the provision that Senate Republicans have eliminated the $200 tax stamp for firearm silencers and scrapped a similar tax for short-barrel rifles.
I guess killing quietly is more palatable to these sickos.
And who was behind this push?
Why TEXAS Senator John Cornyn, of course.
Republicans are killing millions of us lout loud, and it is a national emergency.
