    It’s amazing how she, Boebert, and Gaetz are three of the biggest idiots probably ever to hold office in the House, yet they’ve been popular by spewing hate. That tells us what drives their base.

        Yeah, Boebert’s on pretty thin ice if I remember correctly from the last election. I think she barely won. And I think MGT only won because her supporters basically made death threats against her opponent and his family so he dropped out. And Gaetz, well Florida is basically a lost cause at this point. Too many Republicans there and they’ll vote R regardless of how shitty DeSantis makes Florida. There’s already a ton of crap with Disney and immigrant workers, which is hurting business, but they’ll still vote for him (or any R) because of the R.

          I believe she only won by 537 votes. She was out fundraised by Frisch 3 to 1 this last quarter. I don’t think she survives another race.

          I’m patiently waiting for Florida to sink into the sea and all those idiots lose their shirts in a very public and agozingly slow way.

        It will be cathartic for sure, but it won’t stop the next moron parade from assuming office after. These human dumpster fires are a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. The issue is that people enjoy these sorts of spectacles and the so-called news organizations are fanning the flames. We need an attitude adjustment in the US.

          Agreed. This seems to hark back to when news pivoted to become entertainment. The advent of the 24 hour news broadcast left lots of hours to fill with “content”. All this bullshit seems to stem from there, creating the “outrage” culture we have now. IMHO, of course.
