Republicans have a "deep bench" of pricks

Senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton; Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott; Ex Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; and, of course, the Mar-a-Lago carbuncle on the ass of humanity, TFG.

For those who don't know, "Deep bench" is a sports term which means that a team has a large number of talented players. Yet, the only thing these people are talented at is being leading members of the most dangerous, uncaring, horrible people in today's American politics.

I mean, these are really miserable human beings. They are against everything that sane people consider decent. They are for everything that much of humanity would define as evil.

What I'm getting at is that they are the embodiment of the current Republican Party. They are among the "leaders" of one of the two major parties of "The Greatest Country in the World." -- And that scares the shit out of me.

I mean, really. Try naming a group of people (not convicted of being serial killers) worse than these would-be tyrants.

They won't be able to get anymore money from russia, because their economy is in the tank for a long time

They'll have to grift locally and find their own reich-winged billionaire in their own country to take money from, like murderous, racist, dirtbag authoritarian Ron DeathSentence, Gov. of Floriduh:

Apparently, they want the person who is best at owning the libs. No other qualification needed.

For the moment, I'm not including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger in the List of GOP Assholes, because they're ... almost ... (cough, cough) human.
