56-year-old rural white guy in Boebert's district



Posting this here because taking back the House benefits the whole country. Not to mention that booting a skanky embarrassment would be so very satisfying. As Vic mentions, the district is deep red. But he also points out that Calvarese, unlike Boebert, is homegrown, and she could possibly persuade some of those CD4 republicans to break with tradition and put country before party. If you can help, please do. And thank you!

So Liz is voting for Kamala.

Good. Given Cheney’s work on the J6 Commission it isn’t all that surprising. But it bears keeping in mind that she’s still a member of the party that brought him to the dance, and she danced every dance with him until that awful day; nor has she renounced any of those dances. To be sure, she paid a severe price for her ‘disloyalty’ to him, summarily booted from the party to which she had been born.

She has now done two things that elevate her a bit in our esteem, and we thank her for both. But in that gratitude let’s not forget that Cheney’s antecedents do have more than a smidgen of Machiavelli. A word to the wise and all that . . .

You are better than Trump and you know it.

You are better than Trump and you know it. Just like you know that Ann Coulter is also capable of doing weird stuff with furniture.

Margaret, my apologies in advance. This isn’t going to be pretty. It’s going to be petty. Which also happens to be the best way to describe Ann Coulter.

Awhile back I reviewed her latest book and said it was so poorly written that 10 monkeys randomly typing on 10 typewriters would produce a better book in about 10 minutes. I also said she had feet the size of an Emu. While accurate, it was indeed harsh. But I’m neither a literary critic, nor a zoologist, or anyone of real importance actually so, in fact, I was punching up.

In truth, I am so insignificant that when I do call someone a name or otherwise insult them, I am almost always punching up. The same could be said about Ann. She is neither a good writer nor a good person so technically she too is usually punching up whenever she is attacking liberal politicians. But exactly how pathetic of an asshat does one have to be to actually attack a child and, in particular, a child who is simply showing affection for their father? Someone as low as Coulter actually managed to punch down.

Yesterday, Ann Coulter attacked Gus Walz. A teenager. And when she learned that Gus has a form of autism, she didn’t apologize. She blamed Democrats for making her attack him.

So, GOP, I am asking you again. Aren’t you tired?

Is it my eyes or . . . ?

This pic is in a facebook marketplace ad. Is it my eyes, or is there something odd about the bench?
