A big choice for Wisconsin Governor!

White male with clown face painting, orange wig, blue shirt, red suspenders and a red trucker cap smiles for the camera. Across his face is the hashtag, TiffanyTheClown. The background is a party scene.

It's election time in Wisconsin again, and boy oh boy, the stakes couldn't be higher. So, we'll get right down to it, the Governorship. It's a choice between a candidate that answers to Wisconsinites, and one that answers to Donald Trump. Hard choice, I know, but if you can't get yourself to vote for a Democrat, no matter what, then just leave that oval blank, will ya? There's plenty of other Republicans running for office down the ticket that don't dance to the beat of a MAGA drum. Or, sit this one out completely, play cribbage instead. Let the good people of Wisconsin continue to move the state Forward. The last thing this state needs is a MAGA clown, only looking out for themself and theirs, leading Wisconsin right off the proverbial cliff.

Remember, this is the same guy that thinks it's his duty to decertify the will of the people.

The same guy that thinks the DOJ should not go after politicians for corruption. That politicians should be above the law, and do whatever the hell they want, if they're Republican. Otherwise, it should be used as a weapon, and given all the resources necessary, to go after Democrats. 

Here's a thought, how about the justice department just stands up for justice, period, no matter what, and goes after anyone trying to game the system, regardless of party affiliation? What a concept. Sounds like "common sense" doesn't it?

The same phrase Tom Tiffany parrots, over, and over, and over.

'We’re going to go back to common sense'

"Wisconsin families are tired of Madison draining their pocketbooks through higher taxes, rising utility bills, and reckless spending," said Congressman Tiffany, who worked as a dam tender on the Willow Flowage for 29 years. "It’s time to stop the flow of waste and fraud in state government, lower costs, and send in the Dam Man."

Wisconsin's on the wrong track, get rid of the waste and fraud in Madison, send in the Dam Man. He knows it's Republicans that have controlled the Wisconsin legislature since 2011, right?

Whatever waste and fraud is going on in Madison, whatever wrong track this state is on, it's due to the Republicans' inability to write legislation that does anything but put Wisconsin on a path to providing meal tickets to the state's wealthiest.

He wants to make government smaller. Wouldn't that be nice. His solution? To audit every single state governmental agency and program line by line. Sounds like a helluva lot more red tape, and where will all the auditors come from? Sounds like even more government, and how will they be paid? Even more taxpayer dollars going to state government, but instead of improving state services, it will pay for his very own Government Audit Machine.

Common sense? Sounds like Tiffany's a few bricks short, or he doesn't understand math. But, hey, what can one expect from a clown?

Instead of closing the loopholes that allow opportunists to take advantage of the system, he blames others for not having the resources to go after those gaming the system. When, he's perfectly fine with people gaming the system as long as they're super rich to begin with. Like, voting to defund the IRS so they don't have the resources to go after the fat cats not paying their fair share, because paying taxes is downright, un-American, right?

With that laundry list of "clawbacks" you'd think he was doing the taxpayer a favor. Nope, none of it will magically reappear in the pockets of taxpayers, because it just got funneled into a blank check for ICE with no oversight or rules regulating their behavior, to enshrining Washington DC in gold for Trump's vanity projects, and going to war with Iran so Israel can expand its borders and let the Trump Brand profit off a goldmine of real estate ventures in the Middle East. 

That's not the kind of auditing Tom Tiffany is into though, no siree Bob. Going after the wealthiest fleecing the system? No way, just going over state services with a fine-tooth comb. It's no wonder everything's so expensive! Can we take anymore from the people that don't have anything and give it to those that have more than they know what to do with?

If he understood math, he wouldn't be giving Crowley such a hard time for leading a county that overseas the largest revenue stream in Wisconsin, but gets the short end of the stick when it comes to paying the State's bill. It must be hard balancing all the needs of the county with a budget constantly raided by Republicans thinking that money is better spent on infrastructure out in the boonies.

Funny, isn't it, how much the Republican Party hates the word socialism unless it means Everyday People paying for their bullshit? Socializing risk and privatizing profits, that's Republicans for you.

The same guy that went out of his way to make discrimination a right, not just a choice, and even authored legislation to make it a reality, but his crowning achievement thus far? H.R.6651 - To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 603 West 3rd Street in Necedah, Wisconsin, as the "Sergeant Kenneth E. Murphy Post Office Building."

Wow! How's that for championing the Wisconsin Idea? All those long hours up on the hill penning the legislation that gets right down to the heart of the important issues keeping Wisconsinites up at night.

What a dip. 

Maybe, someday, Republicans will produce a candidate that stands up for Everyday People again, that doesn't kowtow to the Corpo Crony Club keeping "hardworking" citizens subservient to their rule. Wisconsin had that once, you know, Fighting Bob —"The will of the people shall be the law of the land." Tom Tiffany leaves that part out whenever quoting Teddy Roosevelt though, doesn't he? That good ole Theodore decided to run for a 3rd term and steal La Follette's thunder, splitting up the Progressive movement so the common man could stay right where he was, under the heel of the Damn Man, forever.

Tom Tiffany, a fighter for Wisconsin? No, but he is a fighter for the ruling class, himself and his family though, growing up on a gigantic plot of land most can only dream of. He'll do anything, and say anything, to make people believe otherwise, and then do whatever's best for him. That's the MAGA way, and that's Tom Tiffany in a nutshell.

If you want Wisconsin to be a three-ring circus, vote for Tiffany The Clown. If you want Wisconsin citizens to have their own say in how the state moves Forward, then vote for the other guy, or just leave the gubernatorial oval blank.

Remember that guy?


Apparently, the whole reason he inserted himself into US politics this year was to generate buzz for his new movie. WTF?


That's America for you!

I Want to Know What You're Thinking

Actor, George Clooney, dressed up in a Batman costume

So?

Why does THAT guy think it's up to HIM and his FRIENDS to write the country's future? What is HE looking to get out of it and what are THEY going to get for blowing up the world?

Everyone with half a wit who voted for Biden the last time, having held off on a run straight out the gate on account of his son, must have done some math in their heads about age/terms, right?

If Hillary was a consolation prize that nobody wanted, and Biden came off the bench 4 years ago to save the team that couldn't get it together without him, you'd think one would have written a hard four into the script with a replacement ready to let him off the hook in 2024 if age was a concern.

Nope.

Instead, they waited until a glitch in the Matrix led everyone to question their own reality and said, "Quick, quick, plug in a new script!"

Sorry, George,

...it isn't going Down Like That!

Do the math.

#2 is always a potential #1.

Or, did you forget how to spell potatoe?

I don't believe Biden is a man that wants to go out as a vegetable. There's so many objects falling from the sky right now, it's easy to take your eyes off the ball.

You have to make it all the way over the finish line before airing out your laundry.

Get it together!

#1 gives the keys to #2 after signing into law, the new: Age Limit for US Presidents.

That's sounding like an easy sell for most people walking the earth right now, let alone either side of an aisle. 

#2 becomes #1,

appointing (?) to be #2.

And maybe, for the greater good of humanity, they drum up support for a runoff election being added to the electoral process to finally put an end to the Nader Effect.

No more co-opted parties!

No more hijacked agendas!

Just a full spectrum of choices to wash away polarization like a rainbow after a storm.

Who better to get the phrasing right for such an argument than an attorney? The Every Vote Counts Act (EVCA).

Anyone willing to buy into that?

Anyone?

Anyone?

You, Tammy Baldwin?

W
hat's your REAL concern with that? Don't want to "work" for a living?

That goes for you, too, Mr. Grothman.

You've taken more than enough trips to the south now, it can't be a PERMANENT VACATION (some say second home). If all you can come up with is, "It's Biden's fault," you may not have the proper amount of imagination required for this one.

What's your grand plan for regulating all that's gone unregulated for as long as most voters have been alive? That's YOUR job, NOT the President's. This one, the last one, the one before that, the other one, the one before the other one or even the other one's dad!

Good grief.

If you really, and truly, did the math last time, you've already accepted that it's her call to make.

What happened between then and now?

A debate?

What people should really be asking is, "Who's upset with HER doing the play calling and WHY?"

Isn't that what everyone voted for last time? To ride out a play? Now, State Senators and US Representatives are crying foul...

"Hey, my turn buddy, back of the line.

Just four, no more!"

What are THEY looking to get? Is that what STATE RESIDENTS want or what their DONORS want? Go on, tell everyone what you're after and put a live feed on the constituents you represent. Let's see if they think what YOU want is worth scorching the earth over.

There is a ton of stuff that needs fixing right now, and it all gets written up by you all, CONGRESS, not the POTUS!

It shouldn't take the gates of hell opening to pen some legislation. That is some serious: poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on mine, bullshit.

Come on, out with it #TammyBaldwin,

tell #JoeBiden what you really want so you guys can work as a team. 

Or, are you looking to go backwards in time?

Eric Hovde can have all the cheese he wants.


But, if you don't respect your elder, it'll be Hovde P.I. going home with the entire bag of curds! 

Haven't you heard of a defensive wall?

Enough already, enough. 

The gravy train is over. You'll have to work a whole lot harder to keep up with the WILD CARD party!

The Technocratic Party? Live the meme.

The Evolution Party? Power FWD.

The B. Goode Party?

No more Theatre of Pain!
