Missouri Republican Sexually and Physically Abused His Kids

The shocking revelations were made before the Missouri House Ethics Committee, revelations that included recollections from his daughter about an incident she suffered when she was 9 years old.

In 1990, Rick Roeber’s 9-year-old daughter was tucked in bed wearing a long Simpsons T-shirt when he allegedly picked her up, took her into the living room, laid her on his bare chest and placed her hand on his genitals, the now-adult woman told lawmakers earlier this year in testimony against Roeber, 65, now a Republican member of the Missouri House.

“I didn’t know what to do. I just froze there. I was 9,” she said in her testimony before the Missouri House Ethics Committee.

The incident was one of several disturbing stories recounted to the committee by Roeber’s ex-wife and three of his four children, who accused the freshman lawmaker of terrorizing them while on alcoholic benders and regularly whipping his children with a belt. His ex-wife also said that he once “drowned several puppies” in a pond.

Georgia Looses Another…

Since Governor Kemp signed a restrictive voting bill geared a limiting the votes of blacks in Georgia, advertisers and those with commercial interest in the state have steadily removed their business in protest. Will Smith and Antoine Fuqua are among the latest.

Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith will move production on their big-budget, runaway slave thriller “Emancipation” out of Georgia in protest over the state’s controversial new voting restrictions.

The announcement continues the economic fallout from Gov. Brian Kemp and the state legislature’s decision to pass new regulations that critics maintain amount to voter suppression, aimed at reducing the turnout of people of color. The new laws were passed in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and after Georgia voted for a Democrat for president for the first time in decades. The rules shorten the duration of absentee voting, require absentee voters to produce identification, limit the use of drop boxes and make it a crime to hand out free food or water to voters standing in line.

Dr Fauci Wants Trump to tell Republicans to get Vaccinated

In an interview on Fox News today, Dr Fauci warns that based on what’s happening in Europe, another Covid surge could come to America. And he wants Trump to step up and allow his Republicans to get vaccinated.

Asked by Chris Wallace what could be done to combat vaccine skepticism in the U.S., particularly among Republicans, Fauci urged Trump to tell his supporters to get vaccinated.

“It would be very helpful for the effort for that to happen. I’m very surprised by the number of Republicans who say they won’t get vaccinated,” he said.

“I think it would make all the difference in the world” if Trump were to express support for vaccines, Fauci said. “He’s a widely popular person among Republicans.”

“I just don’t get it, Chris, why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” he added.

Rush Limbaugh Dies at 70

I would argue that Rush Limbaugh is singlehandedly responsible for our political divide today. While Not too long ago while Democrats and Republicans found ways to work together, Limbaugh was busy on his radio show recruiting an army of far-right conservatives willing to take his message of division, exclusion, and yes, even racism.

Today, Rush Limbaugh died of lung cancer at the age of 70 years old, and he left behind the fruits of his labor – a failed president, a failed insurrection of the nation’s capitol and a completely failed and divided Republican party. Limbaugh never apologized to his audience for misleading them. He never told them that this was how he made his living, that it was all for entertainment.

My condolences to his wife and the rest of family.

Trump’s Lawyers Misspell ‘United States’

Now I should be the last to talk. Any frequent reader of this blog would definitely recall times when the wrong word was used, or a word was misspelled, or a case of minor grammatical infractions, or punctuation misuse/overuse. Sometimes I may not use punctuations at all.

But I am not a lawyer representing a former President, and I’m absolutely sure I’ve never misspelled the United States! But I guess when the former President is Donald Trump, then misspelling the United States is okay. It’s acceptable. It’s probably even expected.  

On Tuesday, attorneys David Schoen and Bruce Castor responded to the House’s filing that Trump incited the January 6 Capitol insurrection and argued he shouldn’t face impeachment now that he is out of office.

However, it was a raft of typos that became a major talking point after astute readers were quick to notice an error in the first few lines of the documents’ address to the U.S. Senate.

The filing, which intends to address members of the United States Senate, instead misspells the recipients as members of the “Unites States.”

Two Time Loser – Donald Trump Impeached… Again

It’s hard to get impeached. Before Trump became president only two other presidents in the history of this country achieved that shameful accomplishment. It is even harder to get impeached two times… in four years!

House lawmakers on Wednesday impeached President Trump for his role in last week’s deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, capping an extraordinary week of violence, apprehension and partisan brawling in Congress just as Washington cranks up security in preparation for Joe Biden’s inauguration, just a week away.

The 232-197 vote was historic: It made Trump the first president in the country’s history to be impeached twice.

Ana Navarro to Republicans – “You Own This Just As Much as Donald Trump Does”

Republicans are now, all of a sudden, angry and displeased with Donald Trump and his foolish antics. On Wednesday, Trump incited a mob to break into the US Capitol and that action, was their final straw. After all the lies, all the deaths and all the embarrassments, Republicans have now awoken. And they did it with only 13 days left in his presidency.

But they only managed to fool some people. They failed miserably in their attempt to fool Ana Navarro. Navarro made an appearance on The View and called out her fellow Republicans for the four years they spent “emboldening” Trump.

“I am livid at all of those Republicans who have spent four years enabling, normalizing and legitimatizing Donald Trump”, Navarro said. “You own this just as much as Donald Trump does.

Trump Caves In, Signs $600 Stimulus Package

Donald Trump signed into law a major coronavirus stimulus package along with an annual spending bill, avoiding a government shutdown before a Monday night deadline, Politico reports.

But on Sunday evening after days of being lobbied by allies, Trump decided to sign the bill and not leave office amid a maelstrom of expired benefits and a government shutdown.
