Yesterday, along a highway in southwest Wisconsin:

It’s a cult.

When all you ever play is beanball

Last week from Mike Pence (r):

Mike Pence @Mike_Pence
Baseball once stood for American greatness, but when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith, sexualizes children with graphic public displays, and undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for, it is clear that those days are fading fast.

Read my Full Statement and Open Letter to Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers [….]
1:03 PM · Jun 2, 2023

Self-righteous bigot.

Some of the responses:

Can y’all boycott baseball so I can get my game tickets cheaper?

Oh, please stop.

Quit drunk tweeting from Hooters, Michael

What a pathetic attempt to get attention. Keep radical, right wing, pseudo-religion out of sports.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

“Not now honey, I need to read Mike Pence’s open letter to the Dodgers”

You guys sure do hate America

It’s a baseball game not a revival. How horrible an organization recognizes pride month or other cultures during the season. Work on polling over 2%.

Wait till you see what apple pie is doing.

Baseball is still great Mike, you jamming the evangelical right into everything, is not ok.
Don’t push your beliefs onto others.
You want to be the victim.

Don’t you have bigger things to worry about?

How is your imaginary issue different than your attacks on LGBTQ people? Why are you so nosy, bossy, and determined to force your religious beliefs on Americans that have different religious beliefs?

That seems awfully arrogant on your part, to think you know everything.

“hey, is this stool taken?” said the fly in a high squeaky voice as it came in for a landing.
[….]

Remember when a mob of “faithful Christians” tried to hang you? I don’t remember any drag queens being part of that.

Stop shoving your religious beliefs down our throats.

And read the constitution.

Our country was literally FOUNDED on the separation of church and state.

You should know this and if you don’t – you’re even more unqualified for elected office then we already believe.

Used to be “christians” followed the loving word of their god. Now “christians” spew hateful & violent rhetoric in the name of their god.
THIS is why millions run away & turn their backs on “christianity,” “religion,” and “church.”
There’s no hate quite like christian love.

American greatness is the striving for embracing others, respecting others, accepting others, human rights and love. Unfortunately, Mike, your version of Christianity is flawed by fear and a dark infatuation with deviant behavior that you project on others. #NeverBePresident

That’s what you care about? Manufactured outrage on inconsequential issues that MAGA pushes into the fore?

That’s really sad, man. Really, really sad.

“when it openly invites attacks on Christian faith,”

“sexualizes children with graphic public displays”

“undermines the family-friendly environment that baseball has long stood for”

None of that ever happened

Please tell me Christianity’s position on bearing false witness.

When it comes to suffering, those early Christian martyrs had nothing on you.

You’ll never be president, Mr. Karen.

None of that is happening.

I swear republicans live on a different planet.

Same planet, different world.

So conservatives are waging their war with virtually everything because as we know, what voting Americans want is to have their porn, sports, retail products and lifestyles all policed by a theocratic nanny state.

Please continue making really bad political decisions!

You think you’re still relevant?

I bet your social media manager double spaces after a period.

Baseball is a sport that people play & watch. People are different, so now, so is baseball. White Christians don’t own baseball or America.

When has it openly incited attacks on Christian faith? Maybe Christian nationalist’s trying to insert their demands on others, which is how it should be.
Keep your religion in the church and no one will care.

I’m sorry. Who are you again?

Attacks on Christian faith? I’m looking but I don’t see that. Unless you mean supporting LGBTQ people and their organizations, but I know a lot of gay Christians, so I really think this is your personal problem.

Okay Karen

Pride is only an attack on your Christian values if your Christian values are un-Christ-like

Jesus accepted everyone, you Christofascist bigot.

Imagine being an adult and having to resort to tweets like this to be able to run for President as a Republican..

Remember that time a bunch of Republicans took over the Capitol and smeared shit on the walls?

That was some great Jesus-y and family friendly behavior.

Still waiting for the appointment of Mike Pence’s (r) Special Counsel

classified documents, hair helmet, Mike Pence, right wingnut, special counsel

28 CFR § 600.1 – Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and –

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

So, is Attorney General Merrick Garland going to appoint a Special Counsel? Just asking.

Previously:

Now what, Mark (r)? (January 24, 2023)

If only you had waited for 24 hours, Eric (r).

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

On Tuesday:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Setting the over/under on classified documents “discovered” at one of Joe Biden’s houses this week at 6.

What do ya got?
11:56 AM · Jan 23, 2023

What do ya got? A really unserious junior senator.

Some of the responses:

Setting the over/under on classified documents discovered on Trump properties if given the same level of access as Biden is giving the DOJ at 1200.

What do ya got?

Heh.

With or without obstruction charges? Both are egregious but one ex president really went the extra mile.

I’d rather you resign so we can have a more serious person representing Missouri in the U.S. Senate.

Well I got the fact that when Trump had hundreds of documents and willfully kept them your response was dismantle the government.

There’s that.

According to trump it’s ok to do this so don’t complain.

Nothing compared to the HUNDREDS of docs in Trump’s possession. Guess you are too busy spreading crap than doing your job

Why have you never once mentioned the hundreds of classified documents taken by your Orange god?? #Hypocrisy

We should set an over/under on you getting a second term. That’s something that I’d place a bet on.

Way less than your cult leader.

Were you upset when stolen top secret documents were found at trumpo’s home? If you didn’t say anything then, sit down and shut up. Effing hypocrite.

Another useless Senator from Missouri is what I got.

Well, the other one lives in Virginia.

I got an embarrassing senator…

Do you ever do anything constructive or how about some work for Missourians, no you just spend your time trying to stir up hate fear and anger

I raise you discovery at Mike Pence!

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

Save this tweet [….]

Heh.

Probably about the same number that they found in Pence’s house.

You’re fucking hilarious!

Maybe wasting time playing on Twitter wasn’t why taxpayers voted for you.

How about you stop embarrassing us in Missouri for once. Just shut your damn mouth. Where was your outrage over Trump’s classified docs?

Or Mike Pence (r)?

To be a fly on Mike Pence’s (r) hair helmet.

Mike Pence, right wingnuts, the fly

I went through my house to check for any classified documents. All I found was this hat:

Go figure.

Is Mike in or out?

It’s really hard to tell with the cult these days.

This afternoon in northwestern Missouri:

Still there.

Maybe they all forgot about January 6, 2021.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

For the debate win:

Kamala Harris (D) [2019 file photo].

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg
So proud of @KamalaHarris tonight.

She powerfully made the case for why we must end the chaos and restore decency by electing Joe Biden.

It was reality vs fantasy on health care, the economy, Covid, racial justice, climate and so much more.

We’re going to win this.
10:00 PM · Oct 7, 2020

The fly came in second. Mike Pence was atrocious. Mike Pence didn’t answer questions.

Mother Pence (r) didn’t wear her mask on stage. Contrary to the rules.

The moderator was useless. The final question was gaslighting writ large.

From the Biden/Harris campaign – rapid response:

Joe Biden @JoeBiden
Pitch in $5 to help this campaign fly.
[….]
9:33 PM · Oct 7, 2020

Jason Kander @JasonKander
That fly was in Pence’s hair a long time. It should quarantine.
