Drag Queens Named Kitara!

I have nothing against drag queens. Some of my best friends are drag queens. Well full disclosure I knew of 3 back in the 90s and they were fine folks I worked with. Drag queens are fun. Drag Queens are a hoot. Drag Queens are Mrs Doubtfire and The Birdcage and Some Like It Hot and Priscilla and Hedwig etc... Hell they filmed a movie here at the New Tower (hoo boy that place in Omaha history) with macho men like Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo and it was a scream. 

But the Republican Party has declared war on drag queens with their bullshit about "groomers" and Pizza Gate and all that crap while gladly accepting cash from real "groomers" like the NRA, the Catholic Church or the Evangelical churches. Real groomers who teach children to carry guns like a real man, to shut the fuck up when Father Handsy diddles you or youth pastor Clay decides to take you into the woods for some real outdoorsy shit like camping and nighttime rape. But to the GOP, the mere thought of a guy dressed as an exaggerated woman with a HUGE personality and the ability to read to your illiterate children is somehow "grooming" them to become sexual victims at a later date says more about what the GOP has stirring around in that porridge in their head than it does about anything to do with just plain fun. How DARE you stir up feelings inside of me I don't like to have!!!

Well anyway, serial liar and dog killer George Santos Devolder Kitara Zabrovsky and GOP congressman apparently has one of those pasts. Kitara Ravache may or may not have been George Santos' drag name but nonetheless, if it was, that may be the most honest and fun thing this lump of soiled underwear has even done. Santos lied about 9/11 and lied about the Holocaust and scammed people out of money allegedly meant to save sick dogs and those are just the tip of the iceberg. But the spinless coward Kevin McCarthy needed to vote and did nothing about it, in fact justified it and seated this liar on committees. But this thing, if true, the whole Kitara Ravache drag queen deal is a bridge too far for these bigots in DC who run the Republican Party. George Santos is.....ta dahhhh......a "groomer".

The despicable lies and scams and other shit, not enough for the GOP to care about as long as they had his vote, may not matter to them. But drag queens? Oh the horror!

Meanwhile here in the heartland we have a state senator named Dave Murman. He is from some dying county of farm folks and genetic Republicans and he has stepped right into protecting Nebraska's children, most of whom will flee this backward ass state as soon as they reach the age of reason. Murman has introduced a bill to forbid people under 19 from attending drag shows. He also got up to say he cannot understand how anyone would be against his "common sense" bill. Well, Dave, common sense got nuthin to do with you because you also introduced a bill to give parents control over what their little darlings are taught in public schools, which by the way they already do. But Murman is a clown and clown gotta clown . 

Meanwhile State Senator and Pete Ricketts puppet, Kathleen Kauth, has introduced the GOP mandatory bills outlawing gender altering surgery for those  under 19 and the even more mandatory forbidding trans gender males from competing against their poor girls in sports. Now here there are a grand total of ZERO trans males competing in girls sports and NO CASES of gender altering surgery in folks under 19 but Kauth doesnt care about reality. She's another hateful bigot that claims well since there are no cases, why not just pass my bills , its just "common sense".

Yeah its gotten so bad here with the crazies crawling out from under the Nebraska Nice rocks they've lived under for years that State Senator Danielle Conrad, a former head of the ACLU (yeah we have that here) stood up and called for adjournment SINE DIE, which means adjourn the whole goddamned legislative session forever. Yeah it lost but it got 7 votes from equally pissed off members. This nonsense has been mostly avoided here over the last few years.

How about adjourning the whole GOP, SINE DIE.
