Screening candidates was a major role that parties played to determine who’s electable. But the Republican Party no longer values that, as recent scandals show. Republican Party that simply doesn’t vet candidates for office anymore. Even cursory background checks or interviews would have revealed some problems with these candidates, but today’s GOP doesn’t seem to care. What happened? (LA Times)

My 6th grade English teacher in Linden Elementary School, Mrs. Nauhaus, insisted that when writing about a subject a person should use no more or no less than THREE EXAMPLES to make their point. I have seldom disagreed with Mrs. Nauhaus, who was also one of the infamous teachers at Linden who would use the Cloakroom to squash any “bad boys,” from disrupting her classroom. (Back then the girls got away with murder). But for today's RANT, I provided 4 examples as to why GERRYMANDERED DISTRICTS/VOTER RESTRICTIVE STATE LAWS/and THE SHEER STUPIDITY OF WAY TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE, (look I only used THREE EXAMPLES). The GOP candidates in far too many districts have zero competition, thus letting shit all over their Constituents. The GOP are recipients of the very selfish WEALTHY MEGA DONORS, who I believe, they believe that only the poor should pay taxes, and the poor need to remain poor and dumb, as not to ask too many questions as to why the 1% actually have a lot more wealth than anyone else.
I will RANT and YELL, and SCREAM because I refuse to leave this Earth without fighting!
