Remember when the Eighties were all bent out of shape about "plant based beer?". (Larry Kudlow, Fox so-called News.)

Hint: all beer is plant-based.

The GOP is constantly inventing demons that don't exist. A good one was "The War Against Christmas." Let me say this, which may anger a few people. I am a retired teacher. I have taught in four states. Based on my observations, the American people ain't too bright. The mere fact that a party like the current GOP exists, proves that.

Don't worrry about angering "a few people", Milo! Stupidity emboldens an astounding percentage of Our Fellow Citizens. They need a place to belong, and as we have not yet come up the a way to send them all to Hell, the GOP is all they've got.

LOL! Give it to them, Jim! So much low-hanging fruit, eh? So many buffoons, so little time! Do the best you can, Buddy--they're costing themselves votes every time they open their mouths, so don't get in their way--let 'em rip!!! :)

Joni Ernst's idea of Freedom is Freedom for her private life, but not for the other women in the State of Iowa, nor our children's right to the freedom to learn, nor for public education to be fully funded. Nor for so many of our peoples' FORMER freedoms.

I missed this, but then I do not (try not to) watch those right wing news channels. Can anyone tell me where I can watch or listen to Teddy's rant against the non-existent beer limit?

I found several links by doing a search for "Cruz + Biden beer." It's definitely worth watching!

Thank God for you and your ability to cut through the bull and reveal the truth Jim ! I believe your vision is really what's happening.

The politicians of our Nation for many years now have been focusing slanderous attacks on individuals who are attempting to reveal the truth about the real challenges to life on Earth and distract attention from these issues by accusing some one else of the wrong that they actually are doing. This makes it so difficult to figure out what to believe especially when our Corporate media support and publicize con artist ploys.

Well done, Jim.

I'm used to semi literate Harvard types. I attended a comparable school with the same contingency of idiots.

Like the near beer analogy, Jim.

Is it true that Teddy only goes to beer and Velveeta tasting get-togethers with other Harvard and Yale grads? He and J.D. must get wild by 9:30PM.

Cruzer is one of the biggest hypocrites in the Senate. Very difficult to say which GOPQ is the leader of the Rat Pack.

Ah, Teddy! He gets more pathetic all the time. (Also hairier - I guess he thinks it makes him look strong and manly.) Another great example (thanks Jim) of what today's MAGA crowd wants and gets from its so-called representatives. Anyone remember the Joni Mitchell song "Send in the Clowns"? And that immortal chorus: But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here! (Sing three times.) If it weren't so sad, we could laugh together.

Jim,

You have a wonderful way with words (www) when you have good subject to skewer (sts).

You're right, Jim. The Republicans find it too difficult to tackle real problems like Ukraine, global warming, health care; and I might add: gun deaths, women rights, the distribution of wealth along with the march to Feudalism. So they make up fake issues and encourage culture wars to keep people off balance and desperate for a decent life.
