"Gov. Hot Wheels"-Gate. You know, I remember the chirping crickets when Trump mocked that reporter.

MAGA Melts Down on Dem Who Called Wheelchair-Bound Greg Abbott ‘Governor Hot Wheels’

Rep. Jasmine Crocket now faces a threat of a Congressional censure.

I didn't stop by to weigh in on the appropriateness (orr lack therof) of Crockett's remarks. Personally, I wouldn't have said that. But she's an adult, she gets to own it, one way or another.

I'm just pissed off...AGAIN...that "WHATABOUTISM" is a one-way street for the MAGAts.

Following their customary knee-jerk response to Republicans fucking up, they scramble to find what they consider to be a "greater offense" made by a Democrat.

But when it's something like this, they just "melt down," call for censure, call for much worse consequences.

Trump "melted down" over that portrait, held his breath, stamped his tiny feet, and down came the portrait.

It's gonna be a long fuckin' four years.

1. It's Johnson they should be censoring for suggesting we get rid of federal judges!

2. Since our laws mean jack-shit to the country, Congressional censure means very little to anyone.

Sp what?

3. 'Governor Hot Wheels' really doesn't sound pejorative enough.

Personally, I'd prefer 'Governor Hypocrite Asshole, or something along that line.

4. Your reminder that after he won a multi-million dollar settlement from a homeowner for his injury....

Your reminder that after he won a multi-million dollar settlement from a homeowner for his injury, including monthly payments for life, Abbott as Texas Attorney General spearheaded a successful law that caps homeowner liability payouts at $250,000.

5. This is what gets you elected now

I think Comgresswoman Crockett is only doing what Retrumplicans have made popular in this fucked-up social media fueled shit society.

The minute Returdlicans begin losing elections due to their crass, callous, cruel, fucked-up rhetoric and policies, is the minute I will criticize Ms. Crockett and other Dems.

Returdlicans are the ones that broke our societal norms, and our values of honor, compassion and empathy. She is simply using their weapons against them.

Besides, this is the kind of disgusting, deplorable, outrageous shit you have to do nowadays to get the fucked-up media to mention you.

6. I've learned that many Texans use that nickname for Abbott

and have done so for years. Some even think of it as a term of endearment.

It's not a nickname I would use. I'm good with just calling him an ahole.

But I'm not going to listen to any of their fake outrage. Today's Republicans openly and cruelly mock people with disabilities.

7. I don't think she should have said it but, that nickname for Abbott is pretty common in TX.

I've been hearing it ever since he became governor ten years (sob) ago.

8. She should have said it on Signal with some classified info

No one would care then.
