Swalwell: Republicans 'Tougher on Mickey Mouse than They Are on Russia'
[BREITBART] Representative Eric I farted on national television Swalwell
... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee...
(D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" that the Republican Party is tougher the Walt Disney Corporation’s opposition to Florida’s parental rights law than they are on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Host Joy Reid
...Harvard-educated lefty MSDNC (If you're white you ain't right!)
...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points we hear as news stories originate...
commentatrix, given to fits of hyperbole, bad arithmetic, and faux sophistication...
said, "The thing is what’s interesting, Republicans have shown when they do want to rebuke and police their own, they can. They’ve come down like a ton of bricks on little Madison Cawthorn, not for fantasizing about Hitler’s bunker, not for bringing the gun into the Capitol but because he said the porn thing. Once he said that it seems like a world of hurt. He’s getting the leaks. The leaks are not coming from Democrats. They’re leaking everything they can find on this guy, even one of his senators from his home state is out savaging him."

Swalwell said, "That’s right, Joy. You can lead an insurrection, you can say that the Catholic Church is run by Satanists, you can sympathize with gun laws that embolden mass shooters, but the second you talk about the party’s cocaine and orgies, you’re done, you’re toast. That’s really where they are now. This is a party that’s tougher on Mickey Mouse than they are on Russia. Harsher on Dr. Seuss than they are on insurrectionists, and of course, they have gone after Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
, who has shown consistent integrity through and through, more tough than they have on Paul Gosar, who has threatened to kill Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
and Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...
I ask you, do we really need a foreign policy lecture from Fang-Fang Man ?

#3  I don't care about Ukraine. Give me one good reason why I should. But Disney spews toxic woke ideology all over America every day so, yeah, Mickey Mouse is the greater threat.

#4  With a little help from friends and their own bold determination, the Ukies are dealing effectively with their Russian threat.

Gov. Desantis of Florida appears to be dealing with the Mouse threat nearly by himself.

#5  This evening I crossed paths with an event put on by and for elementary teachers. There were quite a few teachers there. It consisted of loud music and hard drinking. Ugly, really fat people, half of them white, the other half black. They were loud, rude, trashy people. I was very surprised when I found out that these people were teachers.

#11  Let them people sort ot out. Looks like they're doing just fine so far without us.

#12  I was ok with emergency supplies, and MANPADs and Javelins. I'm less sure about larger crew served weapons and if they actually get used. What I am NOT OK with is the rapid and massive progression to 33 Billion dollars to pay for the entire Ukrainian government, pensions and salaries.

How in God's name does anyone, even those demokrats with room-temperature IQ, figure the American people should fully support a foreign government in totality, by loading more debt on our citizens without even asking them. After the financial disasters and massive theft of our time in Iraq and Afghanistan you would think we would be cured of such waste.

Corruption is pandemic there, and I can't help but wonder if Jojo isn't worried about the leak of the entire Burisma story in lurid detail and how it exposes his own personal corruption! The Puppet Show is acts like an Imperial state, profligately spending our money with no justification or legislative authority. I was OK with helping Ukraine, but we are looking at plans to spend a total of 50 billion in one year. This is criminal insanity...

#13  Yes, has a certain oder to it.

#14  How in God's name does anyone, even those demokrats with room-temperature IQ, figure the American people should fully support a foreign government in totality, by loading more debt on our citizens without even asking them.

Remember, the Big Guy gets ten percent.

#15  Pumping boys and cutting tits off girls in Tears of the Sun - horrible, disturbing.

Pumping boys and cutting tits off girls in School - Bold, Stunning!

Whatever is or is not happening half around the world in Ukraine, this is a real and present danger. In the spirit of Swalwell's observation, I propose we support De Santis and Florida in the same manner as Elenskyy and Ukraine.

Also, keep Buck McManly off the high school softball team.

#16  Swalwell should not be in Congress. He is a security threat and an inveterate liar.
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/29/2022 17:02 Comments || Top||

#17  Comes in parallel with a report that Ukrainians are rounding up people who are not explicitly enough on The Team and/or accused of helping Russians.

Salt it of course; and as you would expect the freedom loving Blue and Gold Avatars were wishing that would happen here, too.

#18  /\ Swalwell should not be in Congress. He is a security threat and an inveterate liar.

But, but, but that is precisely why he IS IN The Congress !

#19  “And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.”

Didn't Elenskyy just say the other day nobody has the right to turn nuclear energy into nuclear weapons in order to threaten and coerce people?
