Kitty Barf 7: Kitty Makes a Mess
The Gestae of the RPA
Feb 10, 2025
This column compares the Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) to my kids’ weird cat. Kitty and the RPA have one thing in common—they both think they are smart and clever, but they are the only ones who think such.
For example, the kids’ cat thinks that it is fun to chew on the wires. A real shock. It also enjoys taking one claw and poking my foot in the middle of the night. Kitty for the field goal? Kitty eats strange stuff and then barfs it all up. See the pattern here? Kitty just does things which are not good for it. It just can’t help but be self-destructive.
Enter the RPA. Watching the “Republicans” take on the legislative session is like watching a drunk cat in a china closet—you get to see an expensive disaster unfold right before your very eyes.
Kitty wants tort reform so Kitty passes a bill to gut insurance payouts to injured Arkansans and lets big insurance keep the money instead. Good one, Kitty. The people don’t need no stinkin’ money, let them eat cake!
Kitty does not like it when the people legislate—don’t those morons know that is Kitty’s job? The fix? Kitty makes it harder to self-legislate. It’s just taking its poo and throwing it against the Arkansas Constitution. Throw enough to cover Article 5 and stink the place up so bad that no one will know. Do you really think it works like that?
Kitty is worried about signature gathers for ballot measures. Apparently, some super crafty and good-looking attorney found a way around some silly laws. Meow baby! That made Kitty very, very unhappy.
How does Kitty respond? Kitty wants to create a secret police force and put it where it does not belong—the Secretary of State’s office. This new gestapo, will call it the SoStapo, will have the pleasure of investigating the “validity of documents.” They get to carry guns (not like that’s a big deal because everybody carries guns these days) and investigate things that don’t need to be investigated.
Who is running for the Secretary’s position? Senator Kim Hammer, the bill’s sponsor. He wants to give himself his own police force to thwart those who are not of Kitty’s ilk.
Be careful Kitty, Trump won this state by a landslide on a MAGA America First agenda to do away with voting machines, mark ballots by hand, and have one election day. Kitty will have something really serious to worry about when a real MAGA Republican runs for the Secretary’s office.
Happy mess making, Kitty.
Attorney. America First. Sued Hunter Biden for child support. Represented President Trump in the 2020 Wisconsin election challenge. Former attorney for the Wisconsin Special Counsel. An official “Tough Cookie” per President Trump.
Love it!
Excellent article, Clint. It seems corruption can be spelled by RINOs. Never thought I’d see the day when a supposed Republican, who has about as much chance of losing the SOS election as Joseph Wood had of losing his RPA gig would actually do something so blatantly foolish and corrupt, and clearly mark himself as incompetent to be the SOS.
Clearly one of Sarah’s pet idiots.
Terrific article – Clint!!
