Nadler v Gohmert

It was an interesting moment. Gohmert was yammering away, doing his part to disrupt the hearing. But when he started with his ad hominem comments about Democratic members Nadler shut him down, admonishing Gohmert that “...you will not cast aspersions…” . Gohmert opened and closed his mouth a couple of times, then just sat back.

Yes, I was remembering when Gohmert advised Eric Holder to “not cast aspersions on my asparagus.”

Intended to invoke that memory or not, well done Mr. Nadler.

This guy is too stupid to judge the best carrot contest at a county fair.

Great moment for Chairman Nadler. He could have said anything. It couldn't have been a coincidence he said that to Gohmert. I laughed out loud!

6. I cannot believe this man was a judge. That said, look at the flood of Drumpf/ McConnell judges

with LIFETIME appointments to further the RWNJ agenda. And some say elections don't matter, or who is President doesn't matter... They all need to be slapped silly (not that I advocate violence). Ha.

7. Juanita Jean-Most Excellent News-someone good is running against Gohmert

Juanita Jean is at the state party headquarters having fun and watching people sign up to run. Here is some good news https://juanitajean.com/most-excellent-news/

We finally have an excellent Democrat to run against Louie Gohmert.

Hank Gilbert, a guy made of East Texas timber, has decided that we’ve had all we can take from Louie Gohmert. Hank is a family rancher, a former school teacher, and runs a large and very successful nonprofit in partnership with his two sons, has filed for Texas CD1. He will win the primary and dance on Louie Gohmert’s head.

He’s one of the nicest and smartest guys I know. He’s genuine. He leads with a calm but firm resolve. I believe in Hank Gilbert. Send a couple of dollars to Hank if you can just to let him know you’re plenty proud of his decision to run.
