A GOP senator who voted to convict President Donald Trump accused the Republican establishment of not pouring enough money into his already cash-rich reelection campaign, Punchbowl News reported Friday.

Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy is set to face voters for the first time since his vote following Trump’s second impeachment, as he competes against Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming in a brutal May 16 GOP primary.

This guy really needs to get hit in the primaries - and not just because of his record with Trump.

Bill Cassidy is a fraud. He is in fact a filthy democrat pretending to being a conservative Republican. Louisiana can do far better than this bum.

If he is cash rich, why the begging?

He apparently understands what he stands to gain by corruption.

“The trajectory of this race is clear. Bill Cassidy is collapsing under the weight of his anti-Trump record, while Julia Letlow is building an insurmountable lead thanks to President Trump’s complete and total endorsement,” a Letlow campaign spokesperson told the DCNF in a statement

Breitbart reports that Pope Leo has begun his “Co-existence” tour to Islamic countries that butcher, murder, and enslave Christian men, women and children, by visiting Mohammedan Algeria. “Co-existence” is the bumper-sticker slogan of atheists and “Secular Humanists,” which are militant atheists who attend their own church.

The Pope wants to extend a bridge of friendship to the Mohammedan world, which spend every Friday vowing to slaughter all the “infidels” in the world in order to bring about “Peace” as Allah defines it. The imbecilic man doesn’t comprehend that they would all chop off his head, given the chance.

But hey, he is acclaimed as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

As vacationing members of Congress straggle back into Washington, DC after their extended Spring Break, there is no evidence that there is any sincerity among them to end the Federal government shutdown the Department of Homeland Security or to pass the SAVE Act for election security.

Democrat-Communist Party members of the House and Senate feel no personal stake in relieving the disruption they have inflicted on the Great American Public, nor in establishing election security. Just not their problem. Republicans are desperate to buy cooperation from their Democrat-Communist colleagues, offering Democrat talking point after talking point as inducement.

The Democrat-Communist Party and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps employ much the same negotiating strategy. Both are trying to bring about the end of the world, and are indifferent to how much damage they inflict in the process. “VOTE DEMOCRAT !!”

I admit President Trump is a showman, a narcissistic flim-flam man, who frequently displays poor taste, such as his recent meme of bringing healing like Jesus Christ. But for everyone who spends all day looking for things about President Trump to be offended by, I have a question or two:

Would you rather have the country under Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? When you criticize President Trump, keep in mind what you are comparing him to. How about Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez? Or Chuck Schumer? Hakeem Jeffries? Gavin Newsom? Zohran Mamdani?

Who would you rather have running the country? Barack Obama for a fourth term?

“Who would you rather have running the country? “

I prefer to have someone like our first president, George Washington who respected the constitution, kept the nation out of foreign wars, declined to be king, managed to govern despite partisan polarization in his cabinet and in Congress, demonstrated fiscal responsibility by paying down debts from the Revolutionary War, stepped down after two terms in office and conducted himself as a gentleman throughout his presidency.

The nation today needs someone of character, strategic vision, the ability to prioritize and great communication skills such as Ronald Reagan possessed.

Choosing between an egomaniac 78 year old with declining mental faculties and an imbecile communist is not a choice for a nation in decline. In hindsight neither candidate in 2024 was capable or qualified to lead the nation. Neither came close to a Washington, Jefferson, Adams or Madison.

“Soul of the South” my dyin’ azz. “Song of the South” idiot Br’er Bear, maybe.

President Trump, HIGHLY capable and in no way feeble, is easily the best and most effective POTUS since Reagan — in spite of anti-American domestic dunderheads like you fighting his every step. I voted for him three times and am damned proud to support him.

“Louisiana can do far better than this bum.”

True, but they are only going to do a *little* better.

The only difference between Bill Cassidy and Julia Letlow is that she didn’t vote to impeach Trump. Otherwise she’s every bit the RINO that Cassidy is; currently in office only because she inherited her congressional seat from her late husband.

Ex-Congressman and current state Treasurer John Fleming is the only conservative in the LA Senate race. And he isn’t likely to even make the primary runoff because the big RINO money is on either Cassidy or Letlow.

I’ve given up on the popes for sometime. I listen to only their ramblings of matters of faith. After that, their opinion is the equal of mine.
