Thank you for not letting the car discussion guys hijack this thread and ruin all the fun for us pensioners with the emotional maturity of 14 year olds.

Yeah, I mean, if anything, my overall opinion of Ms. Boebert has gone up after her recent public display. In my book, a skanky bimbo is 1-2 steps up from being a menace to American democracy. Wait, 2-3 steps up...

Who said she's not a menace to American democracy?

They aren't mutually exclusive.

True. I was mainly just joking around, saying that adding "skanky bimbo" to her resume "Menace to American democracy" was value added, considering. Technically, okay, no, but sometimes I do things just to maybe give bearister a laugh.

Papercuts

Dems who were outraged by January 6 rioters storming the Capitol because of the violence wrought against that great Temple of Democracy are okay with a man at war with the English language and pants getting to wear a hoodie and shorts onto the Senate floor. Just no bison helmets.

The US Senate lowering its dress code standard to appease the lowest common denominator is emblematic of a far greater problem spreading through society.

Rules matter. Standards matter. They’re what separate the civilized from the uncivilized and they’re what lay the foundation…

One eye pretending that rules and standards matter.

Another Republican says racism didn’t cause Tulsa Race Massacre
If Oklahoma educators teach that the Race Massacre was perpetuated by racism, they could potentially violate Conley’s law, and face Walters’ wrath.https://t.co/e4oPh1biGS

Mitt Romney's successor is pretty interesting.

Criminal investigative records show her telling the father of Gardy Mardy, a missing boy, that she was speaking to the father’s dead mother and sister during a mission to find him based on psychic intel about the boy’s location. (He has never been found.)

— Tim Marchman (@timmarchman) September 20, 2023

I know people don’t always read the story, so want to stress—this wasn’t one-off discussion with a psychic on the idea it couldn’t hurt. She was the central, guiding source of information behind OUR’s lionized million-dollar paramilitary rescue missions in foreign countries.

J.D. Vance Is a Dangerous Authoritarian


https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/j-d-vance-republican-senate-hillbilly-elegy-dangerous-authoritarian.html

"Vance's vision for how this will occur is at least somewhat specific. Donald Trump would win reelection, fill the government with loyalists, violate federal law, be rebuked by the Supreme Court, and then ignore the Court:

"I think Trump is going to run again in 2024," he said. "I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people."

"And when the courts stop you," he went on, "stand before the country, and say " he quoted Andrew Jackson, giving a challenge to the entire constitutional order "the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."

*BTW, I'm old school and believe in dress codes. I don't approve of how Zelensky dresses at occasions that traditionally dictate a suit. If you are like Che Guevara an actually walkin' the walk and personally engaged in combat, I could see letting the dress thing slide.
