As if you didn't need another reason to not like Ron Johnson

This appeared in my Facebook memories today - from ten years ago.

Senior senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson (republican), has stated he's going to sit down with the newly elected junior senator, Tammy Baldwin (democrat), to explain the budget to her. He wants to, "... lay out for her my best understanding of the federal budget because they're simply the facts. Hopefully she'll agree with what the facts are and work toward common sense solutions."
Tammy, a double major in mathematics and politics, has let Johnson (first elected in 2010) know that's not necessary, as she has previously been in the house of representatives and was on the House Budget Committee for her first 6 years in that body.

Except for Illinois, Michigan appears to be surrounded by Dumbfuckistan. I can't believe they re-elected that vile traitor. At least they re-elected Evers. Come on, Cheeseheads, do better, ffs.

Sykes decided that he didn't like the orange glob that was floating in on the foam he whipped up, and decided he was a "never Trumper."

He trashed Trump a lot on MSNBC and Twitter, but then goes back to his home base of The Bulwark and trashes Democrats and liberals.

Ron Johnson's his creature. Would never have been elected in the first place without Sykes heavily promoting him.

He is a mindless, patronizing asshole with a lot of money.

Entitled white guy on steroids.
