Malaka Of The Week: Troy Nehls

Texas Congressman Troy Nehls worships the Kaiser of Chaos. He’s the sycophant’s sycophant; the bootlicker’s bootlicker. Nobody sucks up to the cult leader more fulsomely than this allegedly macho former sheriff from Port Bend County, Texas. And that is why Troy Nehls is malaka of the week.

Nehls is a backbench House member who was never on my radar until he became the most exuberant ass-kisser in a party full of them. Nobody’s nose is browner from kissing Trump’s rump than Troy Nehls. Here’s a recent example:

“There’s no question he’s the leader of our party. So now he’s got a mission statement of his mission and his goals and objectives, whatever that is. We need to embrace it. All of it. Every single word. If Donald Trump says jump three feet high and scratch your head, we all jump three feet high and scratch our heads and that’s it. He’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.”

I am not making this up. His sycophancy and economic idiocy know no bounds:

“If Donald Trump says tariffs work, tariffs work. Period. Because Donald Trump is really never wrong.”

I thought Nehls was a Texan, not a North Korean. What happened to rugged individualism? Oy, just oy.

Nehls is such a bootlicker that he resigned from the Freedom Caucus because it backed its chair Bob Good when he was primaried by a Trumpier Trumper.

Nehls’ sycophancy extends to Twitter destroyer and Trump sidekick Elon Musk:

“Elon Musk has been able to do things NASA hasn’t been able to do. He’s got a 10-pound brain, and we need to take advantage of that knowledge and skill set.”

The average brain weighs 3 pounds. How much do you reckon Nehls’ brain weighs: 12 ounces? Oy, just oy.

Troy Nehls isn’t even an honest sycophant: He’s as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. He’s under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for using campaign funds to pay rent to his own company. How Trumpy is that?

Then there’s this:

“Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, removed the Combat Infantryman Badge from his lapel Wednesday more than a month after it was revealed the Army revoked the award last year because he was never eligible for it in the first place.

But Nehls would not directly answer when reporters pressed him on whether he would never wear the pin again, instead blasting “vultures” in the media for focusing on the badge.

In order to be eligible for a CIB, a soldier must be an infantryman or Green Beret, be serving in those roles at the time of the award, and engage an enemy in direct ground combat.

While Nehls first enlisted in the Wisconsin National Guard in 1988 as an infantryman, his military occupational speciality in 2008 was civil affairs, making him ineligible for a CIB”

Is there anything real about Troy Nehls? He’s not even a real Texan. He’s all hat, no cattle. And that is why Troy Nehls is malaka of the week.

The last word goes to Randy Newman with a variation on the all hat, no cattle theme:
