Just as I was thinking that the new Republicans couldn’t get any more weird or idiotic, comes a new player to the field. While reading my morning edition of the Washington Post I came across the article about another new Republican politician who lied their butts off to get the votes!!
The freshman congresswoman from Saint Petersburg, FL, Anna Paulina Luna gets the “honor” of joining the clown car bunch that includes Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Pau Gosar, and the idiot from New York who made his resume up from nothing and nothing it is. Now Ms. Luna plays the same game.
Anna Paulina Luna comes to the Congress as a “Hispanic Woman” who grew up in a hard times childhood life. Supposedly had only her mom and no other relatives to interact with. Consider that a major surprise to her father’s family, the Mayerhofer’s whom all describe her childhood as one being included in all thing’s family, especially her cousin and her grandfather (her dad’s dad), who would pick her up from school when her mother Monica had to work or study late. The cousin shows photos of her and Anna at birthday parties, family gatherings, and as playmates. But Luna disputes all of that, and evidently these Mayerhofer folks are just a pack of liars.
Her roommate from her days in the US Air Force, stationed at Whiteman AFB in Missouri, disputes her tale of being subject to a home invasion at 3 or 4 in the morning. The roommate and Air Force buddy, says that they did have a break in, but it was in the daylight hours and while they were at work.
Luna was a Democrat and voted for Obama before she became a Republican. Of course, there are some interesting tales that brought about that political epiphany. She claimed that she was frightened because the state didn’t allow her to carry a gun, so she and her roommate were unprotected during that home invasion. AGAIN, the roommate disputes that tale, saying that they had several guns in the apartment, because the roommate’s father brought them over to give the women a sense of security. So, ooops another lie.
She also said that when she was later stationed at Hurlburt AFB in Florida she was finally able to get a carry permit. Sure, Florida supports that stupid gun regulation that allows one to kill another with a gun IF that gun person is concerned that his/her life or bodily injury might be in danger. And where Concealed Carry permits are handed out like candy.
So, then she decides that her fortunes lie with the conservatives, and she then becomes one, accepted a post-Air Force career with a position at TurningPointUSA. Oh, My, God! She certainly aligned herself with a rabid right-wing rabble-rousing organization supporting the Christo-Fascist White Supremacist movement and a great place for this woman to burnish her pre-election credentials. I noted in the Post article photograph that she jumped right in with that dumb assed 2nd Amendment bunch of idiots and has one of those stupid AR-15 pins on her lapel, right below the pin identifying her as a member of Congress.
There was a lot more to the Washington Post story on this lying newbie to the Republican right-wing caucus. Of course, she joined with Jordan and the rest of that anti-democracy demagoguery mob. Anyway, never mind, she lies and now her mother supports the bull and claims her story is absolutely true. Never mind that every other individual source disputes these horse crap loads of propaganda! Even the Department of Corrections for California reports that there never was a person with the name of her father EVER incarcerated in a state confinement facility. Sadly, her father is not around to defend himself from his daughter’s political bull shit. He was killed in an automobile accident several years prior.
Here we go folks, another lying sack joining our United States House of Representatives and having an influence on the democracy, individual rights, and taxpayer funding of the entire citizenry of this nation. Just think about all the money these knuckleheads are taking out of our treasury each year and for doing nothing but playing revenge games, showing their knuckle dragger constituents how stupid their elected official can actually be, all the while doing not a single damn thing FOR the citizens of this country. Well, except for their rich white benefactors.
It will be a long, bumpy two years with this load of vicious, lying, con artists serving in the Republican side of the House of Representatives. Even with the minimal level of majority they currently hold, they can still do a load of damage to our nation, to our rights, to our senior citizens and to our national reputation.
Lord Help US, things are going to be crazy for the next two years.
