You cannot get it through your head that it's not about "my emotional overreaction".

If most people were rational as you wish them to be, we wouldn't even be in this situation. Because Gosar would never get close to a Congressional seat.

But that's not how it is. And your stoic approach to it is all well and good for you, but it doesn't change the fact that a critical mass of people actually DO care that their representatives are acting this way. And even worse - half of them are cheering it on. 

To turn a phrase from one of our last great American presidents: "the trouble with you is that you know so much that isn't so."

Lovely irony there thanks

Palliative care.

 

Slimy Alabama Republican takes credit for the infrastructure bill he voted against. The ink wasn't even dry yet! 

 

You gotta see this: Congressmen AOC and Raskin totally roasting McCarthy's rambling speech 

 

Even Pelosi is getting worried:

 

No. Clearly he's not ok.

N.H. group offers $500 for reporting teachers

Jaclyn Peiser - Washington Post

The Republican governor is unhappy with the critical race theory contest.

Last week, New Hampshire’s Department of Education made it easier for residents to help enforce a law passed this summer that restricts how teachers can discuss race in the classroom. A new online questionnaire can now prompt investigations that could lead educators to lose their licenses.

Days later, the state chapter of conservative nonprofit Moms for Liberty, which advocates for parental rights in schools, sweetened the deal by offering a cash reward.

"We’ve got $500 for the person that first successfully catches a public school teacher breaking this law,” the group tweeted on Nov. 12. "Students, parents, teachers, school staff. ... We want to know! We will pledge anonymity if you want.”

But Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, who ultimately signed the law passed this summer, is not happy about the contest. On Thursday, he denounced Moms for Liberty’s incentive to report teachers.

"The Governor condemns the tweet referencing ‘bounties’ and any sort of financial incentive is wholly inappropriate and has no place,” Sununu’s spokesman said in a statement to the Associated Press.

Sununu signed the law, known as Right to Freedom from Discrimination in Public Workplaces and Education, in late June as part of the state’s budget. It bans any lessons that involve a "divisive concept,” such as "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously” and "one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.”

New Hampshire is one of more than two dozen states that has passed or introduced legislation banning critical race theory, an academic framework that examines the way policies and laws perpetuate systemic racism. Condemnation of the intellectual movement has become a rallying cry for Republicans.

Two out-of-state donors give 373 separate campaign contributions to U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson

Federal records show Taft, 77, made 304 donations to the two-term Republican senator between October 2020 and June 2021. 

Even after Johnson's campaign had issued 179 refunds to Taft, she gave $6,076 to the Wisconsin senator during that time span — more than twice the legal limit of $2,900 per election. 

But Taft wasn't the only profligate GOP donor to Wisconsin's senior senator. 

Lynne Archer of Sugar Land, Texas, made 69 contributions to Johnson between October 2020 and June 2021, prompting his campaign to refund cash to her nine times. In total,

I'm sure this is all on the up and up, right?

Here are some of the potential GOP Candidates in 2024.

The list of possible non-Trump candidates includes former aides and advisers (such as Mike Pence, Christie, Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley); a sprinkling of GOP governors (Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noem and Chris Sununu, among others), and some Republican senators (including Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz).

Three years off from the election and I've got DeSantis/Trump jr v.s. Buttigieg/Abrams.

I do love the way they attack each other.

(CNN) - Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of Donald Trump's staunchest allies in Congress, on Thursday laid out demands for a GOP leader to earn her vote for House Speaker if Republicans are able to retake the majority after the 2022 elections and cast doubt on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy being elected to the position.

If you're Kevin McCarthy, knowing how badly you want to be Speaker, do you even do anything about this? Is it that big a deal? I mean this is one of 45's cult leaders.

We don’t hold idiot Republicans like Boebert to the same standards as other politicians.  We just assume something stupid is going to come out her mouth every time she opens it, letting her off the hook.

 

Downwind of that tweet:
