this was actually part of a response i was going to make to a member but there was another topic involved  and i had reason to not mix the two-- it fits here well enough

 

 

imo many "non-trumpy" gopers seem to think their hands clean of trumpworld and that they carry no responsibility for the cesspool the gop as a party has become just because they make a few disapproving noises here and there while still pretty much playing the same goper game as always,...i think they should really focus on how it is they've been backing such a sick dysfunctional outfit for so many years

 

(answer: primarily via ignorance, lies, denial, and self-delusion)

 

so are y'all gonna quit that and start openly acknowledging it on a regular basis as a huge priority to fix in your 'party' or just argue the same **** you have for decades..."it's exaggerated, it's libs making stuff up, libs are the ones all freaks/crazy/hateful/violent/commies, it's the libs it's the libs burpfart"...etc.

 

 i'll even give such gopers one---just one of many---very serious dramatic big-time standout dysfunctional issues to work on for the bulk of their future public commentary

 

take the theme of the earlier-tweeted article "can the gop save its last latina in congress" and the number of gop blacks left in congress and post on exactly how white their beloved gop has to be before they put up a "mission accomplished" banner

Meghan McCain is a stupid woman, who if not for her father no one would know who she is let alone appear on a network TV show. She doesn't think, just parrots the now insane Republican party line.

Assemblyman Brian Kolb allegedly claimed wife was driving during his DWI arrest

 

Assemblyman Brian Kolb put the blame on his wife moments after he drunkenly drove his car into a ditch on New Year’s Eve, telling a tow truck driver, “My wife was driving! … You know how women drive,” according to newly released court documents.

 

Kolb allegedly made the comments to a AAA employee who was initially called to the scene of the crash on County Road 41 in the Ontario County town of Victor near Kolb’s home.

 

Employee Michael Scoville does not name Kolb in his sworn witness statement, but said that when he arrived at the scene, he found Kolb’s 2018 GMC Acadia “down in the ditch, backed into the guide wire of a telephone pole.”

 

Scoville said he saw the driver’s door open “and a white male was leaning into the vehicle.”

 

“I saw the vehicle was running. The male stood up and put his hands up and said ‘My wife was driving!’ he then said ‘You know how women drive,’” Scoville said in the sworn statement, adding that the man then said “his wife was up in the house.”

 

The AAA tow truck worker then called the cops.

 

According to court documents, police arrested Kolb after they found him with “glassy bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, unsteady on his feet, and an oral admission of operating the motor vehicle.”

 

Kolb admitted to cops that he had four or five ****tails at the Erie Grill in Pittsford about 10 miles away and that he drove his state-issued vehicle from the American-style restaurant to where he crashed, the court papers say.

 

Testing showed Kolb with a blood alcohol level of .16 — twice the legal limit of .08, according to the court papers, which say Kolb had made a left turn into a driveway and slid off the edge down an embankment.

Great tweet, but also kind of sad (based on my limited understanding of this couple).

Remember, Charles is slimming down the family so UK taxpayers don't have to foot so big a bill, which is the major reason UK citizens have to the Family. Across Europe, royal families are doing the same. Especially after the scandal with Andrew and Epstein.

 

William and family are stepping up more because they are the future of the family. Those further down the line are making their own way.

<Bailouts/socialism>

Now I'm not one who's in favor of the bailouts and what-not, but it's pretty intellectually dishonest to not associate any estimated dollar amount to universal healthcare; something that will not be a one-time bailout.

The fossil fuel industry has been getting tax advantages (socialism) since the JFK administration. I call that long term and it's most likely trillions of dollars. 

 

businesses get tax advantages in the trillions too. It's individuals who bear the burden of supporting governments, local, state, and federal.

It did not specify universal healthcare.  Lord knows Obamacare has been called socialism a billion times.

As we are approaching this election season, this Leslie Gore PSA urging women to vote for policies that benefit women is even more important today than when she recorded it. Leslie is dead now, her message resonates at present and future as long as Republicans move to get rid of Roe v. Wade and the ACA.
