The primary election is tomorrow.
The last piece of right wingnut republican attack mail for the 31st Senate District primary arrived in today’s mail:
There isn’t a lick of difference between right wingnut Dan Houx (r) and any of the other right wingnuts running in the republican primary.
“Trying to use taxpayer funds to defend himself in a Twitter [we would have used the term ‘social media’] lawsuit”
Collecting more than $500K in taxpayer funded salaries
That’s probably correct. But it’s a stupid statement. All people who hold elected public office at those levels get paid a salary. Over time it adds up. Dan Houx (r) has been collecting “taxpayer funded salaries” for a while, too.
Sending taxpayer-funded mailers to voters
True. They all can do that. It’s called “franking”. What Rick Brattin (r) did was send a franked piece that looked like a campaign mailing unseemly close to the primary election.
And, China, China, China.
Wait, that image looks familiar.
Those assholes stole my image:
Rick Brattin (r) [2013 Show Me Progress file photo].
[Click on image to enlarge] The dimples and wrinkles in the suit jacket are exactly the same, the hair and hair gel(ish) are exactly the same, the facial expression is exactly the same, the tie and tie knot are exactly the same, the collar and its placement are exactly the same, the stance is exactly the same. They apparently edited out the legislator pin on his lapel.
It was the fifth image in a sequence of five taken from the side gallery of the House chamber:

They spent a ton of money on their mailers and yet they were too cheap ass to pay for a tracker or paparazzi to get their own images. They stole mine. Thieving losers.
China, China, China – from a PAC mailer during the right wingnut republican primary in the 4th Congressional District in 2022:
Rick Brattin (r) lost that primary.
