Why does the GOP so vehemently oppose trans genders in the military?

Why would they care who is catching the bullets?

Because they vehemently oppose government intervention in people’s lives?

That surely stings the tanned tiny balls of the beta MAGAs.

Chris Rock had this figured out 25 years ago.

Not sure how you write this whole story without using the word stochastic, but.

Grifting to the Grave. Arizona man is the new Florida man.
Jacob Chansley would like to return to the scene of his crime.

Chansley rose to American infamy as the "QAnon shaman," becoming the face of the January 6, 2021 seige on the US Capitol, which sent congressional lawmakers scrambling in fear for the exits.

Now he thinks he might like to work in the building he attacked.

Chansley is considering running for a US Congress seat in the 2024 election, representing his home state of Arizona.

He recently filed his initial paperwork with Arizona's Secretary of State's Office, indicating that he planned to run as a Libertarian for the state's 8th congressional District, The Arizona Republic reported.

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko now holds the seat for the district, which is made up of suburbs surrounding Phoenix. Lesko recently announced she would retire in January instead of seeking reelection in 2024.

So, the race is now on for her seat. Notable candidates thus far include Blake Masters, who failed to cinch a seat in the Senate in 2022, and Abe Hamadeh, who lost his race to be Arizona's attorney general the same year.

One of the first rioters to breach the Capitol, Chansley issued an apology after pleading guilty to his crimes. He served 27 months behind bars in a 41-month sentence. Once released, he suggested that he wanted to reverse his guilty plea.

Though as a convicted felon he can't vote, that doesn't prevent him from running for office.
....because getting his old job back in the drive thru at Hardees was just not gonna happen with a felony on his background check. But the HR department of the rube party is not as selective as fast food companies.
I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.

So, when the Bidens do it, it doesn't count as grifting, right? It's just "playing the political game" and "working the existing system"?

I guess I don’t understand the mental gymnastics involved in turning this story into a “but, Bidens!”

You literally do not know - you have no awareness of - what is presently being talked about in this portion of this thread, but because your Cold War-era sensors indicated it's something negative toward Republicans, you have reflexively shot out the flares and chaff.

How convenient that you forgot Joe's felony conviction and how he used his mug shot to grift the rubes to send him money to pay for his lawyers and then elect him president.
