If I was his lawyer, he would now need new representation.

AOC hit the nail on the head: it’s not just Islamophobia, it’s overall racism and bigotry.  This is who the GQP are: bigots who’ve been emboldened by Orange Donnie to just let it all hang out.  There aren’t consequences for being a fucking terrible person anymore; there are enough people in this country who’ll support…

“Fourteen cops participated in the texts, including current and former officers from Torrance and one from Snoop’s hood in Long Beach”

I do think it’s worth noting that California has been legislating in additional tools to address their problem police officers [1] over the past several years. It is hopefully more relevant that they can now decertify officers [2], than it is that they have officers who are convicted criminals working:

Biggest fucking gang in the country.

“Yeah, I mean I’m the face of the festival. I’m an artist, so yeah. The media, they want to put it on me but at the end of the day it’s like, I don’t think it’s moreso about that.”

The media, they want to put it on me but at the end of the day it’s like, I don’t think it’s moreso about that. I think it’s moreso about stepping up to figure out what the problem is and I can take that. I can take stepping up to figure out what the problem is.

While bassguitarhero makes a strong case that “McCarthy will never be Speaker” [1], a credible source [2] does have their “leader” already putting the GQP into full on petty well before this latest spew of Boebert’s Boe-shit. It’s not quite house money the Dems are playing with, but once your bookie has put the hit out…

Indeed. But there’s no way to fix this. Even if she’s successful in her attempts to punish a rabid racist piece of trash, it’ll be a pyrrhic victory. The GOP is only a hair’s breadth away from weaponizing it against the Democrats, and are only too eager to do so. At which point they won’t have to ‘seize’ the…

Is there such thing as a Republican that’s not corrupt? They are never not the worst!

In fairness to the people of Colorado, only about a 7th of them live in her district. That said, only 194,122 potentially effective votes were actually cast against her (out of a population of 719,526).

The legacy left by JustTryIt&SayItTrump has to be dismantled by fighting back each and every time. I previously thought I wanted racism, etc. more out front but naw, I don’t. Seeing how crazily brazen people have gotten over the simplest interactions in the last four years has definitely disabused me of that notion.…

Consider Kevin McCarthy’s response to this:

I’m so sick of that ignorant bobblehead Boebert. It doesn’t say much for the people of Colorado that they elected the uneducated bumpkin to represent them.

I suspect they’ll ramp up the pettiness if they get control of the House back. THIS is why more young Democrats need to get their asses to the polls next year.

They’ll cry foul even though they were the ones shitting all over Ilhan Omar about a year or so ago over comments she made. Didn’t the House scold or try to scold Omar?

It would be much better if Boebert got a strong Democratic (or even primaried by a fellow Republican) opponent to force her to claw her way out.

On the one hand this is obviously the correct thing, and we can not abide a government where such standards are not enforced. On the other, I wonder if we will be able to sustain our government, when either the average GQP member is appropriately stripped, or during the backlash enabled when not enough minimally…

fuck that. I want her family in generational poverty as a result of this fuckery. I want her kids to be like “SHIT I wish our mom wasn’t a fucking racist piece of shit. Now I get part of my paycheck taken out every month”.

Take Ms. Miller’s and her company’s generational wealth and give it to the Austins.
