The Daily Show on Comedy Central has given us the clearest example of the absurdity surrounding the Modern Republican Party (MRP). In the last election the MRP won the the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. MRP already had control of the Supreme Court. So what’s on the MRP’s mind? The one House seat in Delaware MRP lost. Why? It was won by an openly transgender candidate, Democrat Sarah McBride.

This has fired up the MRP’s Grievance Machine (MRPGM). Speaker Mike Johnson originally said “It’s a command that we treat all persons with dignity and respect, and I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this.” Read his subsequent comments, yourself, as he joined others on the MRPGM committee’s dedication to monitoring Rep. Mcbride’s toilet activities. He even passed a new House Rule about it. So much for the old Republican Party ideas of individual freedom and less government intrusion in our private lives. Other House Reps MTG and Nancy Mace joined in with strident proclamations of their own freedoms to watch Rep McBride’s toilet trips. The absurdity of these statements was accentuated by Johnson’s own words: “It is important to note that each (House) Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex bathrooms are available throughout the Capital.” Huh. So why the whining and new rule?

Rep. Grace, who survived an employee revolt when she was accused of a toxic work environment, took MRPGM absurdity to new heights pronouncing “We are standing up for women, protecting their spaces, and restoring a bit of sanity to Capitol Hill.” Nice thoughts. Take a moment before you read the next quote.

“I’m allowed to go in because I own the pageant…and they’re standing there with no clothes. And I sort of get away with things like that.” This was Donald Trump’s quote after countless accusations of him invading beauty pageant dressing rooms…and just before the 2016 Access Hollywood tape where he admitted “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything…grab em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Both Mike Johnson and Nancy Grace, advocates for woman’s bathroom integrity, charter members of the MRPGM, support Trump.

For all you Trump voters, this is why the rest of us don’t understand.

At least Trump voters kept one woman out of office.

She’ll be safer at home.
