Say what you want about Boehner, the dude got out and is living it up, drinking wine and smoking reefer.
Uh.
Yes, we’re well aware that there is plenty of personal gain to be had in selling out one’s country to one’s wealthy patrons.
There’s a word for that, I have it around here somewhere…
…having tired of the hard work of killing and emiserating poor people.

Boehner was the Orange Harbinger!

Has this been posted yet? I bet he calls his wife “Mother.”

Oh I’m sure they’ll just blame all of this as MeToo, as if most people caught up in that are somehow innocent of any wrong doing, and it’s not at all a symptom of a real problem.
Tennessee is a messed up situation; by law—which the legislature is to blame for not changing and Lee shares fault in not leading the charge—he has to do this. Not only for the above scumbag, but also such winners as Robert E Lee Day (1/19) and Confederate Decoration Day (6/3).

What are the ramifications for not signing it? I mean people all over the government are currently getting away with immense levels of criminal behavior so not signing this bullshit seems to pale in significance.
Honestly, no clue. I’d guess none until someone decides to use it against him as dereliction of duty.
I kinda like Forrest, kinda like the way you like Kurtwood Smith in Robocop, but yeah, I don’t think he should have his own day in 2019. But this is a continuation of Lost Cause shit that’s been going on almost since the guns stopped firing, of course.
I imagine there is no remedy other than impeachment or recall. Only a cretin would go on signing it.

When’s the official Tennessee Statewide Lynching Day?
I can only imagine the outcry from Fox & friends if California had an official “Healthcare for the People Day” or “Treat Fellow Humans with Respect Day”. I guess they already whine about Pride events so there’s my answer.
Or, you know, Martin Luther King Day, which Republicans fought tooth and nail for years.

I’d tell Lindsey to eat shit, but I’m sure he has developed quite the taste for it, with his mouth buried so far up Trump’s ass.

I’m not advocating violence here, but I find myself in a situation where if some of these fuckers were shot or run over by a truck, I would find myself cheering. That thought/realization disturbs me.

I know exactly what you mean. The fact that the number of people whom I would cheer getting a karmic comeuppance is sizeable is an unwelcome admission.
I find that I don’t wish death on even as terrible a person as trump. But damn, I wouldn’t be sad if something happened. I’ll leave the graveshitting to @ArmandoPenblade.
