The Cult of Fools – GQP “No Investigation” – May 23, 2021

The Cult of Fools - GQP "No Investigation" – May 23, 2021

All the folks in congress who pushed the big lie, that the election was stolen, and still to this day continue to push that same big lie, spent this past week formally opposing any investigation into what happened on Jan 6th. Given their part in supporting the big lie, is anybody really surprised?

Congressman Tim Ryan had a few words of truth for them …

Did any other GQP insanity float to the surface of the swamp during this past week?

Indeed yes. There is never any shortage. When one party abandons truth, reality, decency, the rule of law, and basic human empathy, then you are guaranteed an ongoing weekly shit-show.

You will find below a few more examples. I’ve highlighted these so that we can laugh about it all. I find that to be the best response to the batshit insane that flows from this cult of fools.

Don’t get angry, instead mock them. They have worked so hard to earn that mockery, so why disappoint.

COVID-19

  • Lyft and Uber are offering free rides to and from vaccination sites, and that sounds a lot like Nazi Germany to right-wing broadcaster Stew Peters: “They gave free boxcar transportation to a place called Auschwitz.”
    • I don’t recall free boxcar rides back home again being a Nazi thing, I guess I missed that day in history class.
  • Kat Kerr was recently in Texas and claims that there have been “absolutely no reports” of any COVID-19 related deaths since the state lifted restrictions in March.
    • Fact Check: her claim is verifiably and very obviously false.
    • Kat Kerr Reality Check: If Kat claims it, then you can more or less guarantee, without any need to check, that it is not true. Her track record of being 100% wrong about everything is very consistent.
  • Lauren Boebert also Falsely Claims Texas Hasn’t Had a Single COVID-19 Death Since Lifting All Restrictions Two Months Ago
    • Thee people live in an echo chamber where nobody fact checks anything ever.
    • Least you wonder, here is a Fact Check: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in Texas on March 2. According to data provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services, the state had recorded 46,538 deaths at that point. As of May 19, Texas has reported 50,051 deaths, meaning that according to Texas’ own “COVID-19 Total Fatalities by County” chart, more than 3,500 people have died of COVID-19 since the state removed all restrictions two months ago.
    • Side Note: where did this utterly false claim come from? Fox News of course.
  • Rep. Madison Cawthorn argues that political leaders should not have to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 because George Washington would never have worn one.

Commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection

Truly Bizarre

Fools of the week – The False Profit$

The stars of this weekly show are of course the religious grifters. To be wholly clear, most humans, regardless of their cultural belief or non-belief are decent. Some however deploy and leverage belief as a tool to manipulate and enrich themselves with. This section is very much dedicated to these con artists …

  • Mario Murillo: ‘God Is Destroying Wokeness’ and the Church Needs Gen. Pattons to ‘Win the War’
    • He is literally promoting the idea that the legally certified election needs to be cancelled, and that anybody suggesting this is wrong is part of “Cancel culture”.
  • “Prophet” Lance Wallnau says that when Trump was “robbed” of his reelection, the “masks came off” people seeking the “deconstruction of the world as we know it” through COVID-19-related public health restrictions, which in Wallnau’s telling, clearly indicate an “End Times scenario.”
    • “End Times scenario.” is actually the end of his ability to promote fraudulent claims without facing consequences.
  • Kat Kerr Says Christians ‘Shouldn’t Pray’ for Biden Because He Is Not Legitimately ‘In Authority’
  • Johnny Enlow has a message from God for all the evil “deep-state” Luciferians who allegedly stole the election from former President Donald Trump: “You are not going to be able to defend yourself from what I am bringing to you.”
    • The only people he is actually communicating with are his doners. This stuff is designed to create the illusion he is doing something, so they simply need to keep donating.
  • Hank Kunneman warns his fellow Christians that they “better be careful” about criticizing “prophets” such as himself: “It’s a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.”
    • About 150 people are diagnosed with Leprosy in the US each year, none of them got it because they criticised Hank. Meanwhile, the number of people who are prepared to label Hank Kunneman as a fraudster and grifter is literally numbered in the millions.
    • In next week’s episode of “Hank Kunneman defends the big lie”, we will perhaps see him threatening his critics with a plague of locusts, or perhaps a flood.

That’s a wrap for this week.

Will next week be any different, is it possible for all these crazy people to suddenly find some common sense?

Nope, most are too deeply invested. They can’t jump off crazy train as it continues to roll over a cliff into an abyss.
