Every where you look the bloody GnOPe is doing something that is bumming me out. Let's see there's the T-rump/Screws race for most incompetent candidate, voter suppression, more dumping on Planned Parenthood and women's rights in general, bigotry in the guise of religious freedom abounds, and the obstructionism of anything and everything Obama might do. If there is a lesson here it is that the GnOPe is focused on the negative, thus my use of GnOPe where the G is silent. It is clear that they cannot be trusted to run things. Look at Kansas and Wisconsin where the experiment has been done, the GnOPe could do as they pleased, and their policies have failed spectacularly, but still they double down, a special form of stupidity. The GnOPe must be relegated to minority party status which limits the damage that they can do. In particular the attempts to legalize discrimination demonstrates how far the South has come, and it's not very far. In all it is very depressing, and April weather doesn't need any help.
Once again Tom Tomorrow depicts the USA's real exceptionalism, which isn't partisan politics above the best interests of citizens, but is actually the cartoon itself. The only thing that keeps TPP from despair is that cartoons like this are still allowed. Of course, stupidly, some of us thought the GnOPe can stoop no lower in its irrational partisan behavior toward the Obama administration. But nooo! The Iran letter from GnOPe senators intended to undercut nuclear negotiations lowers the bar so bloody far that it is only too obvious this political party cannot lead, cannot rule, cannot be trusted to have the best interests of the USA in mind. And our junior senator from Lincolnland is one of those fools. So take notice Senator Kirk before you continue on where no one has gone before; you don't represent this citizen in any way, shape, or form. You put partisan politics ahead of the best interests of the USA.
