We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

Too bad the Iowa - ISU game wasn't in Iowa City. I'm curious if Trump would have showed up there.

(It's wayyyyy more liberal than Ames)

He's saving up his improv skills for when he takes the stand in his trials!

Haha!

God I hope he does. Although if it's in federal court, we won't get to see it.

9/11/23 Lauren Boebert leads GOP lawmakers sharing 9/11 anniversary tributes despite voting against aid for families

Despite being one of only 30 House Republicans to vote against legislation last year that promised to give aid to families who lost a loved one in the September 11 attacks, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert posted a 9/11 tribute on social media.

“In my heart, I carry the memories of those we lost, the heroes who emerged, and the strength of a nation. We will never forget,” Ms Boebert wrote on the 22nd anniversary of the tragic day.

Last year, however, she voted against the Fairness for 9/11 Families Act.

Some social media users responded to her post, calling out her hypocrisy and even calling her a “traitor.”

...Ms Boebert wasn’t the only Republican who voted against the bill last year who is now just talking the talk.

Arizona Rep Andy Biggs posted, “Our nation’s first responders selflessly put themselves in harm’s way day in and day out. We are incredibly thankful for their sacrifices today and everyday, and especially on 9/11/01.”

In fact, only six of the 30 House Republicans who voted against the Fairness for 9/11 Families Act did not post in remembrance of 9/11 on Monday — and two of those don’t have X accounts.

She seems like someone Leawood would have liked to meet:

Maybe I spoke too soon, in terms of who Leawood might prefer to meet:

There's no way you can watch this and tell us with a straight face that MAGA isn't a cult.

This is pretty damn on target.

I saw the video of her being shown the door.
Sure looks like LB has “enhanced” her upper body.

Her “friend” for the night was probably pretty stoked that the play ended early for them.

I saw it too, and had the same impression.

Politicians and government leaders with no medical expertise consciously weaponizing and politicizing a potentially lethal virus that spreads respiratorily for political gain should be a career-ending move.

But, it's not, because dimwitted selfish people like Randy and Psych might have to put on a mask to protect their fellow citizens, and that's just too much to ask, i.e., "government overreach".

But, forcing women to carry fetuses to term, even those that result from incest, rape, or involve a fetus that won't live, or that pose a life-threatening risk to the mother? What "government overreach"?

Being surrounded by such imbeciles during the one life we have to live gets really, really, old.

Dude, is the name-calling really necessary? Have I ever called you a derogatory name? Serious question.

Are you crying?
