Hadn't thought of it quite this way. Giggle.

The right’s bad faith is exhausting. Bleating on about how the Covid bill wasn’t “bipartisan,” in that it had no GOP support. The reason “bipartisanship” is a good thing, is when it results in action that is broadly supported by the public.

I can't recall if I have posted this in that past but I am reminded of it this morning.
How come when Jesus talked about feeding and helping "the poor", Pubs refer to it as Christianity but when a Dem talks about helping those in need, Pubs call it "Socialism"?

Because they're hypocritical assholes? I don't know. This whole period in time is so nauseating. The Right is spazzing out about the dumbest shit while completely failing their constituents. Their entire platform seems to just be "whine about shit and vote against Dems".

Have to figure this ends up being a litmus test for whether Missouri is trending toward being a swing state, or trending toward MAGA.

On I70 b/n KC and STL, and on I44 b/n STL and Springfield - it's full MAGA. I don't think it gets any better anywhere else throughout the state.

Sure it’s full maga between those metros, but those metros account for the majority of the population

Right. So, keep undesirables from voting in just a couple counties, and you've got things pretty well wrapped.

It’s similar in many states. When I lived in Pittsburgh (Santorum district!), Pennslyvania was described as “Pittsburgh in the West, Philadelphia in the East, Alabama in the middle”. Hasn’t changed much in nearly 30 years

MAGA, big time.

Eric Greitens is foaming at the mouth this morning after hearing this and Kris Kobach just bought a trailer in Grandview to list as his primary residence. Turdlings will be crawling out of the woodwork for a chance to sit beside Josh Hawley.

Now now, that's Josh Hawley, senior Senator from the State of Missouri to you.

So the Dems got them a pretty boy to run.

What is the punishment for being a Representative and blatantly lying to your colleagues on the House floor?

From the Colorado Sun.....

Shooters’ origin story isn’t exactly true

Boebert may not have risen to political prominence without Shooters Grill.

But there is some truth-bending in how Shooters became an armed food emporium. In a story Boebert has made an integral part of her personal lore in speeches and interviews, she has often repeated that she decided to arm herself and her waitresses because she feared for everyone’s safety after a man was “murdered” in the alley behind her new restaurant.

“There was a violent altercation in our back alley where a man was physically beaten to death and it immediately prompted the question, ‘How will I defend my people?’ So, I began to carry that day,” Boebert told the Durango Herald last year.

The Rifle Police Department has no record of such a murder. A man did die on the sidewalk down the street from Shooters in the early morning of Aug. 22, 2013. Initially, it was investigated as a possible homicide, but an autopsy determined the man died from a drug overdose.
