Lauren Boebert wants to be Secretary of Interior? I thought she was more interested in exterior things.

David J. Roth's selection describes every MAGAhat, Qnut and Neo-Nutzi I have ever had the misfortune of listening to or reading about. Talk about the banality of evil. An auditorium of them cannot even work a good "Mwahahaha" among them.

**Secret Service going with “it was someone else’s job.”

They've been hanging around Trump too long, his "always blame somebody else" mentality is rubbing off on them.

It feels like they're really on the verge of actually pushing Biden out the door. I'm speechless. I genuinely think this is asking for a 1968 style ass kicking all over again. You know that the knives will come out the second he makes the announcement, the convention is going to be a bloodbath, there will be legal challenges, and a FUCKING CONVICTED GODDAMN FELON is going to waltz back into the White House and land the killing blow on American democracy. Are you fucking kidding me right now?

He ain't going anywhere because it's up to the delegates not the elected officials.

I really hope not. Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic, but I absolutely do not see any way to a victory if he leaves, no matter how it gets gussied up.

I really think this is what we fear, and the people who are pro-Joe-should-go are afraid that we will lose if he doesn’t drop out. Like, we are all looking at the same situation and data and coming to different conclusions based on who we interact with. I’m trying to be as nice as I can about it but it doesn’t seem like even having the debate is helpful.

Gramsci used to describe his era that is also appropriate for ours: “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

"So not only did Teamsters president Sean O’Brien go lave Donald Trump at the RNC, but he followed it up by agreeing with Josh Hawley that the real problem is the woke DEIs. Teamsters are piiiiiiissed."

FUCKING JOHN DEERE agrees. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

The Democratic leadership is really bucking those well-deserved reputations for being craven, cowardly, corrupt, incompetent and willing to stab anyone in the back to please the pundits and the oligarchs.

I called my rep and both senators AGAIN this morning to demand that they help stop these self-sabotaging betrayals.

I emailed my Senators and rep. I'm furious. I feel like there's a coup happening in the Democratic Party.

Please call both their local offices and their DC offices. Their staffs will answer the phones. It really helps make a difference.

They don't care about emails/online forms.

Here's a notion, just go along with me for a moment. There was that bit about Tucker calling PAB to warn him he would be assassinated if he didn't pick Vance as VP. Before the shooting in PA.

Tucker = Swanson family fortune

Vance = Tool of Peter Theil

Peter Theil = Silicon valley fortune. Also believes in young blood transfusion to keep you young, which is practically eating babies, right? And I read some where he is from South Africa?

Elon Musk = Also from South Africa, with beaucoup bucks, and putting something like $40 million a month into some republican PAC.

Methinks the Oligarchs are trying to steal the election. Is there more evidence? I guess Clarence and Sam might know.

Vote Blue in Roevember, please.

I am trying hard to control my conspiracy-theoretic thoughts about the PA rally, but when Heather Cox Richardson starts asking questions ("Why hasn't there been a medical report?") it raises an eyebrow, because she doesn't do conspiracies.

We know that the MAGAs project onto the left the things they would do themselves, if they thought they could get away with it, and god knows they've thrown the false flag thing around enough re: other shootings.

(I didn't even know what false flag meant until Alex Bankrupt Jones and Sandy Hook.)

How come the unborn are the only ones with the so-called "right" to use another person's body against their will? Especially when they lose that supposed "right" the second they exit the birth canal?

That's because it's all about the misogyny. Women who buy into it are brainwashed or stupid. Probably both.

"Secret Service going with “it was someone else’s job.” Yeah nah sons and daughters. You done fucked up."

Republicans are already calling for the dismissal of Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle - despite the fact that several investigation have only just started, not concluded. Sure, there's partisanship behind this, but I also wonder if the GOP would be so quick to call for the director to resign if it were a man.

That might be in line with the sterling praise they heaped on any woman SS agent involved at the shooting.

Bupkus231's avatar

I haven't seen any of that, and conclude that your use of the phrase "sterling praise' being heaped on women agents was sarcasm. Most of the GOP are raging misogynists, whether they would acknowledge that or not

One of the women agents didn't look straight out of Central Casting, and people were remarking online that they didn't realize that Melissa McCarthy had joined the Secret Service.

I don't think so.

I see his role here as one of an attack dog, like Sarah Palin, except the idea is he won't upstage the boss with his stupid antics like she did.

One possible concern is that his Senate seat is going to be up for grabs (assuming his ticket wins).

If Chump wins, and Sherrod Brown also wins, Governor Dewine can just appoint Bernie Moreno, Sherrod Brown's opponent, to the seat.

If his ticket wins, the Senate won't matter. Nor the House, nor the Courts, nor even Trump. It will be the reincarnation of Martin Bormann from the Heritage Foundation. And his coterie of thugs.
