If I had a lot more time, I'd write a lot more about the sickening spectacle that has played out in Wisconsin this past week or so. I'm referring to the Republican-held legislature (which it wouldn't be if not for the gerrymandered districts*) passing lame-duck session laws that limited the powers of the incoming elected Democratic officials. This is something that the despicable Republicans in North Carolina already did (and now they're trying to stop a legitimate inquiry into voter fraud that might have illegally gotten one of their boys into office). Michigan's repugnant Republicans might try to pull a similar stunt.
* Yes, I'm aware Maryland has outrageously gerrymandered districts that favor Democrats. We shouldn't.
But anyway, I don't have a great deal of time, so I'll just provide a link to an article and a quote from that article:
Where the GOP can’t win elections, it changes the rules
"Scott Fitzgerald (R), Wisconsin’s Senate majority leader, admitted Monday that Republicans would not be trying to limit the governor’s powers if outgoing GOP Gov. Scott Walker had won a third term, explaining that Republicans do not trust the incoming Democrat. It does not matter if they trust the next governor. Wisconsin voters chose to do so."I've been to Wisconsin a couple of times, and it has a lot of dairy cows, which is one reason cheese is a famous product from the state. The dairy cows produce a lot of manure, and its distinctive aroma can usually be detected for large areas around the fields.
The GOP in Wisconsin stink worse than that, and what they just did is the same thing that drops from the rear orifices of the cows,.
