Time to break up this sausage fest.
Fuck Marsha Blackburn. With a rusty fucking spork.
There are a lot of terrible US states. There are a lot of terrible US senators. Blackburn might be the worst combination of both.
I think I could have taken her later down the line, but we need some female representation here and I was going to take her anyway.
Marsha Blackburn is a stain on a state that COULD be doing better without her terrible, shitty influence.
She hates women, she hates technology, she genuinely seems to hate people in general. She wants nothing more than division and chaos, and she supports the main man full throatedly.
Fuck you, lady.

Republicans just can’t fucking handle when they lose. After 12 years with the presidency they finally lost it in 1992. So this is when assholes gotta asshole. In comes the Contract with America pushed by this asshole
Round 2 Pick 19
Newt Gingrich
I’m just going to copy and paste from wiki here
A number of scholars have credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States, and hastening political polarization and partisan prejudice.[7][8][9][52][53][54][55][56][10][57][58] According to Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, Gingrich’s speakership had a profound and lasting impact on American politics and health of American democracy. They argue that Gingrich instilled a “combative” approach in the Republican Party, where hateful language and hyper-partisanship became commonplace, and where democratic norms were abandoned. Gingrich frequently questioned the patriotism of Democrats, called them corrupt, compared them to fascists, and accused them of wanting to destroy the United States. Gingrich furthermore oversaw several major government shutdowns.[59][60][61][53]
University of Maryland political scientist Lilliana Mason uses Gingrich’s instructions to Republicans to use words such as “betray, bizarre, decay, destroy, devour, greed, lie, pathetic, radical, selfish, shame, sick, steal, and traitors” about Democrats as an example of a breach in social norms and exacerbation of partisan prejudice.[7] Gingrich is a key figure in the 2017 book The Polarizers by Colgate University political scientist Sam Rosenfeld about the American political system’s shift to polarization and gridlock.[8] Rosenfeld describes Gingrich as follows, “For Gingrich, responsible party principles were paramount… From the outset, he viewed the congressional minority party’s role in terms akin to those found in parliamentary systems, prioritizing drawing stark programmatic contrasts over engaging the majority party as junior participants in governance.”[8]
Boston College political scientist David Hopkins writes that Gingrich helped to nationalize American politics in a way where Democratic politicians on the state and local level were increasingly tied to the national Democratic party and President Clinton. Hopkins notes that Gingrich’s view[58]
directly contradicted the conventional wisdom of politics… that parties in a two-party system achieve increasing electoral success as they move closer to the ideological center… Gingrich and his allies believed that an organized effort to intensify the ideological contrast between the congressional parties would allow the Republicans to make electoral inroads in the South. They worked energetically to tie individual Democratic incumbents to the party’s more liberal national leadership while simultaneously raising highly charged cultural issues in Congress, such as proposed constitutional amendments to allow prayer in public schools and to ban the burning of the American flag, on which conservative positions were widely popular – especially among southern voters.
Gingrich’s view was however vindicated with the Republican Party’s success in the 1994 U.S. midterm elections, sometimes referred to as the “Gingrich Revolution.”[58] Hopkins writes, “More than any speaker before or since, Gingrich had become both the strategic architect and public face of his party.”[58] One consequence of the increasing nationalization of politics was that moderate Republican incumbents in blue states were left more vulnerable to electoral defeat.[58]
According to University of Texas political scientist Sean M. Theriault, Gingrich had a profound influence on other Republican lawmakers, in particular those who served with him in the House, as they adopted his obstructionist tactics.[9] A 2011 study by Theriault and Duke University political scientist David W. Rohde in the Journal of Politics found that “almost the entire growth in Senate party polarization since the early 1970s can be accounted for by Republican senators who previously served in the House after 1978” when Gingrich was first elected to the House.[62]
Gingrich consolidated power in the Speaker’s office.[57] Gingrich elevated junior and more ideologically extreme House members to powerful committees, such as the Appropriations Committee, which over time led to the obliteration of internal norms in the committees.[55][63] Term limits were also imposed on committee chairs, which prevented Republican chairs from developing a power base separate from the Republican Party.[63] As a result, the power of Gingrich was strengthened and there was an increase in conformity among Republican congresspeople.[64]

Can’t forget that he cheated on his wife while she was dying of cancer.

This a world leader who is popular in his country among rich people, older people, males, whites and the Christian right. He is pro-life, pro-gun, anti-establishment, anti-gay, anti-immigration, anti-environment, pro-torture, pro-death penalty, and anti-woman. He loves the flag and law and order. He’s on wife #3 (what is it with these guys?).
He picked his vice president despite not really knowing him much at all, after many other people had rejected his offer. He once said “I cheat on my taxes as much as possible. If I don’t need to pay anything, I don’t pay.”
No, we’re not taking Trump again. He’s not a literal Trump clone, but he might as well be. Superbooger’s next selection is the so-called “Trump of the tropics”: Jair Bolsonaro
As a nice sampling of Bolsonaro’s assholishness, I’ll highlight Bolsonaro’s positions on two issue’s that have far reaching implications, not only for Brazil, but for the entire planet.
First, the current COVID-19 epidemic:
He first described it as a “little cold” and accused the media and his opponents of creating false panic, saying that the illness is a momentary nuisance. His solutions are so bad, that an Atlantic article from two days ago stated that “Compared with Bolsonaro’s position on the coronavirus pandemic, Donald Trump’s approach looks sober and scientifically grounded”. Even if that is hyperbole, that’s fucking terrifying.
His ideas for tackling the problem go no further than self-isolation for the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. That’s it. He is furious with the local governments of Brazil’s larger cities that have sensibly introduced much more stringent measures. He states that “Brazil cannot stop” for fear of hurting its economy.
“People are going to die, I’m sorry,” he said. “But we can’t stop a car factory because there are traffic accidents.”
He’s ignoring the problem despite the fact that so many people around him (including high ranking members of his cabinet) have contracted the virus. He says he’s taken the test and it was negative, but as with Trump, you can’t trust anything he says. His response has been a refusal to self-isolate, continuing to shake hands, and posting videos of himself with crowds of his supporters in various places around Brasilia.
Secondly, his record on the environment just 15 months into his presidency is downright appalling:
Under his watch, deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has exploded. Rather than recognize the problem and look for solutions, or even calling it “fake news”, he has CELEBRATED this, saying late last year, “Deforestation and fires will never end. It’s cultural." This isn’t entirely unexpected; part of his campaign platform was to open the rainforest up to more logging, mining, oil exploration and agriculture.
The Amazon was ravaged by fires between June and October last year, and many of those fires were intentionally set by farmers looking for more agricultural land. Because of his gutting of environmental protection offices in the federal government, this may turn into a yearly occurrence.
With the Amazon being the world’s largest CO2 sink, the effects of this rapid escalation of deforestation may be completely fucked due to Bolsonaro’s policies.
And I haven’t even gotten into his treatment of indigenous people or his family’s corruption and ties to paramilitary gangs.
So yeah, a major fucking asshole. And he still has 33 months left in his term.

Bolsonaro great pick. Destroying the amazon rainforest is likely to have a lot more lasting impact on future generations that many of the other awful things that people like Blackburn and McConnell are doing, and it’s like the epitome of asshole behavior. Not only not ashamed but fucking proud of it. Plus he’s basically as stupid and arrogant as Trump.
Bolsonaro and MBS both high up on my list. Excellent picks.

After today’s tweets and news conference, should the rules be adjusted to allow Trump to be selected twice?
He’s working hard to pull away from the pack.

Bolsonaro was next on my board. And paired with Trump…that’s a lot of asshole. Bolsonaro is also a huge homophobe.
People make fun of his hair. They make fun of his weight. But nobody in his country dares to make fun of him to his face or even at all. For it is not just the heckler who can find him/herself in a hard labor camp but their family along with them.
We’re talking about a guy who ordered the assassination of his own brother using nerve gas. He executed a deputy security minister by flamethrower. He’s so brutal that it was once believed that he executed his uncle by feeding him to dogs.
He continues a dynasty of military-first dictators who commands the adoration of millions of people he doesn’t give a shit about. He brags about the weaponry he doesn’t have and is a constant threat to the world by threatening anybody in his way with nuclear attacks.
Artists have demonstrated the conditions he has prisoners in. Note that these are very disturbing:
No man as vile as this one should have fallen out of the first round.
