honestly, now that T***p is gone and I don’t have to see his fat face every day, I can’t remember who I hated more, him or Cocaine Mitch, because you are spot-on, not only is this a game for him, he seems to delight in flexing his muscles just to flex, not to accomplish any good for America. FYI he’s 78 but because he…

State reps in lots of places make no to little money for the job :shrug: it’s honestly just something they use to brag in cases where I have known the rep, it doesn’t replace their day job however. 

It depends on the state, but most legislative sessions only last a few months out of the year. In my state, it is only five months long. I have a friend who was a state senator (very progressive) and he kept his day job for the remainder of the year.  Otherwise, I have no answers to your other questions. This guy is a…

when it comes to white grievance there is no bottom to the barrel they are willing to scrape.

Representatives in most states only get paid when in session. In Kansas it works out to a little over twenty grand a year. Substitute teaching is probably a good second job, unless you’re the sort of person who absolutely should not be around minors.

“You want me to what?”

My COVID case was very bad. I was in and out of the emergency room over the course of 10 days. My 4 year-old was traumatized by my condition and being sent away from me for a week, after spending three days with me in bed and barely moving. He is in therapy now as he went into a potty-training regression and refuses…

So many thoughts and questions: Why is a state representative substitute teaching? Why isn’t this being considered a felony assault on a minor? Also, the way he’s following around touching that one male student, I’d put money on him having ‘sinful thoughts’ about members of his own sex. What a fucking clown.

He did succeed in sending a message about mental health, I’ll give him that. And/or the importance of just saying no to drugs.

I would love to know what she thinks about Israel’s vaccine passports, lol.

Up here in Canada we have the “Vaccines are bad, lockdowns are bad, masks are bad...BUT...closing the borders is very important because OCVID STRAINS!!!”

Yeah people have tried the “we all die of something!” nonsense on me. Like, sure, I get that, but I also try to prevent the totally avoidable ways of dying when and where I can. It’s why I used a condom when I was single, it’s why my parents got me vaccinated when I was a kid, and it’s why I got my fucking Pfizer jab.…

Meanwhile, voter ID is absolutely essential and the bedrock of democratic society?

Next thing you know you’ll have to show some kind of card to drive! Communism!

“The mental gymnastics this woman goes through to make a point isn’t even worth the effort!”

Who does Kevin McCarthy think Trump is going to side with in this fight? By making themselves so beholden to Trump they are setting up a situation where Trump sides with the crazies and then they are officially leading the party. I honestly expect Matt Gaetz or Marjorie Taylor Greene to be the Republican House leader…

The GOP is still perfectly happy with the likes of Ted Cruz who is universally reviled and, as Lindsey Graham has said, could be murdered on the floor of the Senate and no one would convict the killer, but he is not going anywhere as long as he keeps winning elections.

The whole 99% survival rate the right like to spout screams “only 1% of the people that get covid will die and that’s fine with me.”

The Republicans really seem to have a talent for speaking out of both sides of their mouths:

Her fellow fascists might tsk tsk her for continuing to be a shrieking nutjob but would they support throwing her stupid bigoted ass out of the House? Gonna guess no. So they can take their wagging fingers and insert them deeply into their own asses.
