Who gives a F how much money you raised for the GOP.  That's the first thing he said. It's obvious none of these people care about their $$$jobs$$$their$$$jobs$$$are$$$to$$$work$$$$for$$$the$$$donors$$$.

GPB says "Trump was the only thing standing between the country and socialism," and then rattles off the national debt figures.

Since Eisenhower, every single Dem President has left office with a smaller deficit than when he came in. And every single Republican has left office with a bigger one. 
 

(Two of those Republican ones were named Bush.)

One thing I like about the photo of Stefanik and Trump is the painting behind them.

Because wouldn't it be fun to watch hounds hunt them down?

Republicans Face Many Opponents In Deep Blue Massachusetts — Including Each Other

 

The Massachusetts Republican Party is a house divided.

 

The state is led by Gov. Charlie Baker, a popular moderate Republican who refused to support Donald Trump. But the chairman of the state party, which meets Wednesday night, is Jim Lyons, a conservative who backed Trump and argues the best way to grow the party is to embrace the former president's base.

 

But when Lyons backed an effort to expel Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito from the party's executive committee, many Republicans thought he went too far.

 

"To further alienate, ostracize — basically create a schism that would be irreparable with the Republican governor is absurd," said Tom Mountain, the vice chair of the party.

 

Mountain says Lyons and his backers didn't have the votes to oust Baker and Polito from the party's leadership, so they abandoned the effort.

 

But the schism remains — and it only widened following controversial remarks by Republican State Committee member Deborah Martell.

 

In a recent email, Martell wrote that she was "sickened" that a Republican congressional candidate, Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette and his husband, adopted two children. Many Republicans condemned the comments, including Baker.

 

"Those were bigoted remarks," Baker said. "There's simply no way around that."

 

Baker said Martell's comments don't speak for the Republican Party and he called on Lyons to come out and say that.

 

"Anyone who's a serious member of the party organization should be denouncing them," he said.

 

All but one of the 30 Republican representatives in the Massachusetts House signed a letter on Friday demanding that Lyons call for Martell's resignation. But Lyons refused. He called Martell's comments "offensive," but said the party must be "unafraid to stand up against censorship and cancel culture."

 

Mountain says Lyons should have gone farther.

 

"What she did was heinous," Mountain said. "It was intolerant — and quite frankly, it makes the rest of the party look bad. And what the chairman did was stay out of it, and then he doubled down to back her."

Quote

In a sermon he gave, he called for women to be “meek”: “Biblical womanhood is reverent in behavior, first and foremost. It is reverent in behavior. But what does that mean, to be reverent in behavior? It means to be appropriate in behavior. It means to be meek in behavior, a meek and quiet spirit, as Peter would say. That’s what it means. It means that you are not boisterous. It means that you do not draw attention to yourself. It means that even in your manner of dress you are doing everything you can to demonstrate propriety. That’s reverence.”

 

Women should not be "boisterous" 

 

I'm amazed he didn't reference "getting the vapors" as well.

Pennsylvania Republicans cut a lawmaker's mic after he notes the state GOP is '100% white'

 

A Pennsylvania Democrat had his speech cut short on Wednesday after he noted the state's Republican lawmakers are "100% white."

 

The heated moment came during a debate over a Republican proposal to regulate the disposal of fetal remains, one that Democratic lawmakers argued would force women to bury or cremate a miscarried fetus. As USA Today reported, a number of Democratic women spoke against the measure - which Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf has promised to veto - by highlighting their own traumatic experiences with miscarriages.

 

Rep. Brian Sims, a Democrat from Philadelphia, lamented the fact his colleagues were forced to share such testimony in the state's Republican-controlled House.

 

"This is just another act in a political theater that has plagued this chamber for far too long," Sims said. "We are a legislature that has met more to remove mask mandates, strip executive emergency powers, and overturn free and fair elections than we have to make strategic investments in Pennsylvania's women, children, and families."

I tell you, if I was a politician during a debate, I’d have a blank map with me.  Every time my opponent says something about any place, I’d hold up my map and ask, where is it?

LETTER FROM PUEBLO: Where Voters Are Losing Patience With Lauren Boebert

 

Charles Perko gestured past a vine-covered chain link fence toward a hulking steel facility with massive mills and squat brick office buildings. The 140-year-old complex had forged the iron that built the West, and once was Colorado’s largest employer, with some 10,000 workers. Now, much of the complex sits in disrepair. Some of its cylindrical stoves are rusted and empty—a symbol of an industry that Perko, a fourth-generation steelworker and president of a local union, says is in need of government help.

 

Lauren Boebert, the controversial pro-gun, Covid-skeptical freshman congresswoman who represents Pueblo, has credited working-class voters for her improbable 2020 victory. But it’s not clear her version of “working-class” includes the steel workers here. Perko didn’t vote for her. And, based on her opposition to President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan, which Perko sees as a lifeline for his struggling industry, he doesn’t think Boebert cares all that much about his union members. He has tried to schedule a meeting with her to discuss these issues, he says. But the door to her local office is often locked, and her staff doesn’t return his calls.

 

“One of the key parts of that [infrastructure] plan is Amtrak expansion. Ours is one of only three mills in the country that makes rail,” Perko said on a breezy afternoon in April, as he turned to face the manufacturing complex, now owned by the multinational company Evraz Group. “If we can get just that part of the infrastructure plan alone passed, that will be business that would keep us in jobs for many years.”

 

One of every four Pueblo residents lives in poverty.

 

It’s this reality that makes voters like Perko frustrated with a U.S. representative they see as more focused on her own celebrity than her constituents. “I work for the people of Pueblo, not the people of Paris,” Boebert tweeted in January, a dig at the Paris Climate Accords. But several dozen Puebloans I’ve spoken with in recent weeks, including some who cast ballots for Boebert, say they’re angry that she appears to have spent more time headlining GOP fundraisers than hosting public meetings to listen to their needs. Boebert—whose office did not respond to multiple requests for comment—also has failed to push for policies that would help the community, these Pueblo residents say. While she supports much more scaled back infrastructure spending, she voted against the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which ensured stimulus checks and additional unemployment payments for Perko’s steelworkers, scores of whom lost their jobs a year ago when oil prices hit historic lows. Other voters here decried a fundraising appeal of Boebert’s exclaiming that Pelosi and Biden “want to take our guns,” which was emailed to supporters hours after a shooting at a Boulder grocery store left 10 people dead.

 

“People here feel Boebert doesn’t represent their values,” says Colorado state Senate President Leroy Garcia, a Pueblo Democrat who is popular with voters in both parties. “There is a lot of passion around seeing her removed.”

Wait, you mean the Trump party isn't actually for working class people and they were just using faux-populism to get into office?
