If these old men were anything other than elected to congress, their families would have put half of them in the dementia home already.

convince me with a good reason why these boats I’ve been seeing the Republicans playing on, have not one, but two machine guns mounted? On first blush, it strikes me as unnecessary and even morally repugnant to be armed like this.

Thank you.

with the Texas State Patrol (Or ICE, Or Border Patrol)

you are correct -- it is BOTH morally repugnant, AND utterly nonsense!

80 yo men in "tactical" vests still look like Henry Fonda in a fishing vest in On Golden Pond. Except I like Henry.

Iowa had such a shortage of people in the 90s, it advertised for immigrants to come live there--agricultural states need people. Iowa is older, whiter, (fatter), and the young people are earning degrees and moving to the cities.

Iowa does not share a border with Mexico. Those big bullets are meaningless--it's a misdemeanor to enter without documentation. Asylum seekers aren't flocking to NW Iowa. The scary "migrant caravans" are unarmed, mostly teenage boys. The folks back home thrill at the thought of those big bullets piercing the brown skin of immigrants.

It's all a game on the other side, because the other side sees the rest of us as less than. ALways has.

and their elected folks who supported the attempted coup. It is they who tried to overthrow Biden. It is they who went looking for Speaker Pelosi with the stun gun.

The actual greatest threat to this country in a long time, happened, with documentation that we’ve all seen and read about, and I imagine more that is being withheld for now (maybe some to be covered up forever).

All credit to my daughter - no great wit here 😀. It came to her from a friend’s story about observing social interaction (if you will).

and is now pulling 'stunts' that would have made former colleagues (and a former Grassley) embarrassed. Sad to say -- the Kool-aid has infected almost the entire party. There doesn't appear to be a cure.
