On Thursday April 29th substitute teacher and Kansas Republican State Rep. Mark Samsel went on a deranged rant in the class room and kneed a student in the balls.  He was booked into the local county jail and released on a $1,000 bond.  This is a statement released by Samsel. As they say - read the whole thing.  It is an artifact that future historians will use to explain the mental state of the Republican Party in the year 2021.   Rudy Giuliani's people want Trump to pay Rudy's legal bills. Also, people in hell want a drink of water. But first...As the U.S. economy bounces back from the COVID-induced downturn, some employers say they’re having a hard time finding workers. GOP lawmakers blame the stimulus payments and unemployment benefits. That's 100% bullshit.
