Here's a question from cool dude, 89 97. He says, what Republicans in Congress do you think actually do good for the nation? None. Not a single one of 'em. And I'm not just saying that as an individual that's like, Ooh, I'm so tribal. I hate Republicans. I'm saying that as somebody that has been doing this for dang near 20 years and I'm looking at Congress, I'm looking at these Republicans, I'm looking at the legislation they pass, I'm looking at the public statements that they make. None of 'em are good. None of them. Not a single one of them. Every now and then, you know, just like the broken clocks, right? Twice a day. Uh, they'll say something that I agree with every now and then they'll propose one piece of legislation that I agree with. I think Ted Cruz and his push for term limits, that's a great example.

Like, Hey, I like that. I hate everything else Ted Cruz does. But I like the idea of term limits. Does that make you a good person? No. You're still a piece of crap and I'm gonna keep calling you a piece of crap. I don't like you. I don't like what you've done. I don't like how you're persecuting other individuals and how you support politicians who do the same. Just because we agree on the one thing doesn't mean that I wanna hold your hand and say, Hey, this is one of the good ones. Cuz you're not. You know, Nikki Haley, uh, came out shortly after announcing a run for president. She says, we need mental competency tests for presidential candidates over the age of 75. I agree with that. I actually think we need it for all politicians, regardless of age. But hey, a start is a start, right?

So I'm okay with that. Is she a good person? Hell no. She's not. You look at these other Republicans, even, you know, last year when we had Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger coming out and they're working on the January 6th committee and they're going after Trump and all his little friends and still voting with Republicans. You know, 85, 90% of the time on horrible legislation, they both voted against, you know, an extra stimulus package during the Covid pandemic. So screw 'em. None of 'em are good. We can agree on one or two things absolutely. But when we disagree on 99.9% of everything else, then yeah. I don't think any of you are good. This is Hattie.
