Margaret,
What the hell is wrong with the Republican Party? I mean, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me for three indictments and 78 felony counts… and we haven’t even heard from the Georgia DA yet. Surely I am not the only fat lady dying to sing.
McCarthy and company are the largest group of asshats on the planet. And that is saying something considering they share the planet with Elon Musk and his Musketeers. Please, for the love of God, you need to pull your heads out of your asses and finally start acting like the political leaders you were elected to be. The man lied to you. But it’s always about money and power. Always. How are we supposed to unite as a country if you bozos can’t even unite against that lunatic?
Honey, I get it. I really do. Trump has the right to say whatever he wants. He has the right to lie and scream and cry that he didn’t lose the election. That’s his First Amendment Right. In fact, he’s lying all the way to the bank using his unsuspecting supporter’s donations to pay for lawyers. Trump lies all day, every day. It’s what he does. And he does it because you let him. You shouldn’t hate a dog for having fleas. It’s what they do. But you should at the very least expect better from your party’s leader.
And yet, you are sticking with him. Defending him even. A liar. And not just any liar, but one willing to break the law in an attempt to justify his lies. That is your candidate for President? Are you kidding me? He might build skyscrapers, but his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor. Being rich doesn’t make you smart. And being Trump doesn’t make you anything other than annoying as hell.
Trump is a hemorrhoid.
Let me explain. Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are enlarged veins in your rectum and anus. They can lead to itching, burning, bleeding, and discomfort, especially when sitting down. A hemorrhoid is something that annoys you for doing nothing more than simply sitting down. That is Trump.
When he mocked a disabled person years ago, we had to stand up. We had to say something because you paragons of morality wouldn’t. Making fun of the disabled is wrong. Everybody knows that. You learn that in kindergarten. In fact, everything you need to know about being a decent human being, you learn in kindergarten. Trump clearly never went to kindergarten.
When he called nations shit-hole countries simply because they are filled with predominantly darker-skinned people, we had to stand up because you Trumpers wouldn’t.
When he lied to everyone about the pandemic, we had to stand up because you Trumpers wouldn’t. For crying out loud, we all heard him suggest drinking bleach.
Seriously. What is wrong with you?
We had to stand up, because a criminal was elected to our highest office and you all set idly by in Congress. You are supposed to be the check and balance for exactly this kind of shit. You kept a lying, thieving, narcissist, adulterer in the White House. The moron cheated on his first wife with his second wife and then on that wife with his third wife and then on that wife with a beauty queen and then a porn star while the third wife was pregnant. Did you really think he was going to be honest with you? Seriously? The grab them by the pussy guy. The sharpie pen weather map guy. The rolls of paper towels throwing guy. The stare at the sun guy. The racist are very fine people guy. The if she wasn’t my daughter, I would date her guy. He’s a grown man who still thinks name calling is how you win a debate.
In 2020 more than 81 million of us stood up and did your jobs for you. We voted that clown out of office. And then we made the mistake of sitting down thinking we had successfully given you a hemorrhoidectomy. But that God damn hemorrhoid came back. And you cowards welcomed him with open arms.
He led an insurrection against our nation. You had to flee the Capitol. I’m looking at you Josh Hawley. His supporters showed up with a noose. They literally took a shit in the halls of our nation’s Capitol. And you just sat back down regardless of how much that hemorrhoid was burning you.
He was indicted for the first time, and all of you stayed seated.
He was found guilty of sexual assault, and I so badly wanted to stand up, but I was sure you finally would. That one was hard to stay quiet about. So hard.
He was indicted for the second time, and the itching and burning was so bad, and Margaret and I almost got up. We really did want to stand up again. But we are old and tired so we stayed on our asses while that orange hemorrhoid itched and burned. We assumed you would do the right thing. But you didn’t. He’s the leading candidate in the Republican Party because you refused to tell his supporters the truth.
Let me say that out loud again. Twice impeached, thrice indicted Donald J Trump is the leading candidate in the Republican Party… again. Bless your hearts. With your heads so far up your asses how do you manage to still drag your knuckles to the Capitol for your next hearing on Hunter?
And did you really think other hemorrhoids wouldn’t show up? Did you really not think Trump would give rise to the likes of DeSantis and Greene?
Eventually, a hemorrhoid gets too big, and you can’t even sit down anymore. Trump has been indicted for a third time and just like that… we’re standing again because you won’t.
So here we stand. Margaret and Helen. Two old women who aren’t afraid to speak our minds, but who should be allowed to at least sit in peace. We’ve never been elected to anything, but we’ve got Preparation H and a huge hemorrhoid to deal with.
So buckle your seatbelts folks. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. This time, we aren’t just coming for Trump. Margaret and I are coming for the whole damn Republican Party.
You should have stood up. I mean it. Really.
Margaret and Helen

Lol…u talk way too much about president Trump. I think you secretly are in love with president trump..Republicans seem to like him because of his accomplishments like economic prosperity, food n gas prices were low.. remember?ohh no wars we have 2 now..border loads of different people coming over!! But Republicans are dumb for noticing n caring about those things ..well, they may be voting for him again. What will dems do for 4 years.. maybe enjoy a little extra money in their pockets. Christians pray for country to stay free from bizarre times of sex change etc..but walk in love regardless. Other countries kill such people for homosexuality..oh well, I’m not down on anyone’s opinions I just pray we all see clearly what is goin on ..free country means peaceful life..

The 🍊💩🤡 has progressed far beyond a hemorrhoid, no matter how badly inflamed. I’ve known who Satan’s MostSpecial ButtCrackBoil is since the mid-1980s when my then-employer used to listen to him guest on Howard Stern during working hours, & I finally got so beyond cumulatively offended, I went out & bought a Walkman radio/cassette player so I could drown out that smarmy voice with top-volume Sinéad O’Connor & The Cure, among others.
IMO, he is the closest example of the biblical aNTIcHRIST going: especially considering how fast 99% of the ReThug party began copycatting his every move. To suffer through another 4 years of ReThug corruption with him & his flying monkeys going unpunished for their crimes will be the death of this country: because they are just as cornered as he is (most are in deep denial or don’t realize it yet), & will behave with just as much desperation. Sentencing must be swift & with maximum penalty. Throw the book at the m****f****: maximum sentencing barely scratches the surface of obtaining justice for his crimes. He should also absolutely :NOT: be placed in a ClubMed prison cell; rather, either Gitmo or preferably, that tent & cage compound built in Texas near the border for the separated migrant children & babies of undocumented parents who were left with little food, almost no diapers, soap, toothbrushes, or toothpaste to fail to thrive & be traumatized by having to care for babies when the older children weren’t even old enough to fully care for themselves. The only thing I’d change is for the AC to randomly break down every couple of days, & take up to 72 hours each time to fix. Let that bloated f*** MELT

Sing it! I have screamed the same. Why are people like McCarthy even still in office? Trump was not the only one pushing insurrection. They forced Al Franken to resign over a JOKE, but we couldn’t even censure those asshats? That’s a failure too big to ignore. I’m tired of the whole thing. The two party system is a joke. You need a strong third party or you get the stalemate we have had for the last 15 years. Better yet NO PARTIES. Why the hell do we need to have any? Why can’t I just vote for who I want. You vote for who you want, and the guy with the most votes wins. Easy. Sort of like it is now, but without all the BS. Maybe we’d actually get some new blood into congress. Maybe your vote might actually count again. But the cynic in me says we are stuck like this until the end of times. (Which are near by the way. In case you missed the signs.)

It’s a shame that our youngsters are being raised in this political environment. How many people are losing their careers and businesses over making much milder statements than Trump? Yet he can get away with whatever he wants and just when you think he can’t get any worse, then he does!

So WONDERFUL to hear your sassy-on-the-mark comments again, Helen! Margaret, your editorial review is acknowledged and appreciated, too! We’ve missed your voice in the insanity of these past two and a half years. I hope you will continue until this “asshat” is securely behind bars. Throw the key away, Jailer! And as for the likes of Lindsey Graham and all, isn’t it time for them to take their damp fingers out of the air to check the political winds and remember who they were before Trump came along? Oh, wait. They’ve always been “asshats,” too. Silly me for expecting and moral compass or erudition from any of them.

An incredibly adroit analogy. Can you imagine living in Alabama? We are surrounded by idiots, ex loser football coaches and pathetic sycophants. Just about the time I am able to convince someone from somewhere else that Alabama “ain’t that bad” a new hemorrhoid appears.
Why should the Al. legislature follow the legal findings of the Supreme Court. They are just a bunch of yankees with the wrong colored robes!
I have to stop now as I need a cup of coffee and a gummy which they will not allow.

Dear Helen, regards to Margaret,
Thank you for this call to arms (armed with words, not weapons). You have always been sensible and on target. And you are right! It’s past time to call out the crooks (yes, this one IS a crook!) and campaign and fight and VOTE for the Democracy we claim to love. We’ve been in danger of loosing it before (to the Confederates once and the Nazis another time, just to mention the biggest and most colorful) but for the sake of the children, our grands and great grands we must haul our tired butts up, roll up our sleeves, and make sure they live in a Democracy, not an oligarchy. It’s only fair to hand it over in good shape with the rot removed.
I hope you will write again, I appreciate knowing there are still some like minded elders who have survived so far and are willing to speak truth. (Easier, so good to see you’re among the survivors). (Colorful, good to see you, too, you almost had me there but now I see what you did😉 )
Fondly,
SofyaEQ

You girls ALWAYS have the balls to say what’s on your mind and aren’t intimidated by anyone! It would be great if people start sending copies of your post to every Republican in Congress at least once (for the opinion on how most of us feel about the Orange Hemorrhoid), maybe twice (to make your point again in case they didn’t get it the first time because they probably didn’t), maybe three times just to irritate the hell out of them to do something to get rid of Donnie and while that’s happening, it would be really nice if somebody could send the gift of a BIG poster size copy of your post to the Republican Party Headquarters. Maybe some Republicans will finally get the THEIR balls together and show the Orange Hemorrhoid the permanent forever exit.

This is classic. I’m 69, widowed, and permanently disabled. God knows I would LOVE to sit down. But as long as there are so many weak (predominately) male members among the Republicans in Congress who have their lips permanently affixed to trump’s posterior, it looks like women like me won’t be able to rest likely until they put us into the ground. Now I know the big orange turd must be really scary to men who obviously have balls the size of BB’s, but do they honestly have no pride whatsoever? Or does he have pee tapes of them too? Does he know which ones were friends with Jeffrey Epstein like him? I mean honestly, the republicans in Congress are such a gigantic embarrassment, not to mention disappointment, that perhaps they all should just pack up quietly in the middle of the night & go live under a REAL dictator, like Putin. No, I doubt he’d let them into Russia. He at least has standards.

I guess I understand. I, too, am an old fat lady who has been sitting back waiting for someone, anyone, to take a stand against those Republicans who have sold their souls to Trump. I guess it’s up to us. Even if it means speaking politics with a daughter in law, a best friend, a neighbor. Maybe they secretly have reservations about how their party is failing them. Maybe they just have to know that there are still some of us who aim for decency in our leaders. Let us speak up. It is literally now or never. It will soon be too late.

I was just thinking about you last night Margaret and Helen! I was wishing you were still posting and here you are. So glad! Thank you so much for still being involved in this arena. I am scratching my head every day about the state of affairs in this country. How and why this person is still around has more to do with his followers than anything else. Speaking of hemorrhoids, the republican leaders are hiding where these hemorrhoids reside in you know who’s entrails. They are shameless. Hunter Biden is not my president. He should face his own consequences for his actions. There is no equivalency between Hunter Biden and the plague that has been unleashed upon us. This false equivalency and the inability to recognize what this person leading them is capable of will undo this country. I am feeling so sad about that.
