Shouldn't that be a Broncos sweatshirt if they are based in Colorado?
nah, likely cosplaying American Patriots(tm) Aaron Rodgers and John Gruden. They alone in the NFL personify the American values of racism, mysogeny, COVIDiocy, and white entitlement.

Odds one of the four will be gay, I'll wager the gray shirt kid. Wonder if her and the hubby are willing to accept.

Wonder which of the four has the Oedipus complex?

He'll marry a woman while secretly attending gay orgies. He'll be anti-lgbt and when the scandal comes to light he'll pretend he's looking to god to see him and his family through the crisis

I would like to see these politicians go a week without twitter. Don't have to permanently ban them like Trump but just as an experiment to see who really performs the duties of their job versus who only performs for the crowd online.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene routinely expressed support for executing Democrats in Facebook posts - Baltimore Sun


I kinda wanted to avoid all the nonsense with this MTG woman that keeps getting brought up to be made fun of, but she's actually worse than I ever imagined, as a human being. Yes, even worse than Boebert who's bad as is for multitude of similar and different reasons.

I really just want this wretch out of congress at this point, I don't even care that partisanship in her district isn't gonna change.

I honestly believe if I run an entirely single issue campaign with "Jail Fauci" I would get 30% of the popular vote in the 2024 Presidential election.

Calculated, he's full-court pressing the Trump fanatics.
If he decides to run for presidency in 2024 (I don't think he will at this point, but you never know in the future), he'll 100% be a bigger threat than Trump and is a stronger candidate than him.

He'll court the moderate votes Trump lost in the suburbs in 2020 while espousing the same policies, without any of the baggage that the latter has.

People who want him to knock out Trump might want to think twice before wishing so.

And if anyone thinks I'm "dooming" I will kindly point to the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election.

The Republican party is just insane. I just don't know how they can de-escalate their extremism from here. So many grifters and nutters. Cawthorne, Boebert, MTG, Gaetz, Gosar, you name it.

Agree with some of this, but Youngkin & DeSantis aren’t comparable as of right now. DeSantis has too much political baggage & it’s not DeSantisism that rules the Republican Party, it’s Trumpism. He still has that to overcome. And I just don’t think he can whitewash his governorship enough to attract the moderates.

But, who the feck knows nowadays.

Agree that Desantis doesn’t have as much political capital as trump does right now in the party to run against him. But he’s not gonna top the J6 baggage that trump has any time soon.

Don’t think he’s gonna run against trump anyways because they are tight with each other. Crazy to think that we have a better idea of who the opposition party is gonna run than the incumbent, although any serious 2024 talks are still too early.

Again too early to say anything too meaningful about youngkin long term, what we do know is that he was a solid candidate in a blue leaning state that can recapture the moderate suburban votes that GOP has been bleeding since 2016, and his success cannot be ignored.

Absolutely not. Youngkin ran a solid campaign, kept Trump at bay, & used culture war differences to his advantage. Toss in a relatively tone deaf opponent, you have a Republican success in a blue-purple state.

There are some fissures between Trump & DeSantis. It will be a fun watch to see how these grow in the coming months.

GOP members pushing for Trump to be speaker of the house is straight up Q energy.

"Trump's "loss" in 2020 was merely a ruse, he calculated that it would make for a red wave in 2022 to be installed as speaker of the house along with it and eventually take his rightful place as president in 2024. 5D Chess!"

Watch the GA gov race.

If trump interfering with kemp to endorse perdue and resulting infighting hands that race to abrams, I could see his political capital take a serious hit and we could foresee the likes of desantis smell blood.

This account is a prime example of a Q loony with a gold mine of material.

Scary thing is that she is an actual elected official. (and by more margin than Trump did in the area she represents)

She was an AF pilot which means she was an officer and likely leading people. Disgusting. But there are plenty of them and hopefully they will out themselves while still in service and can be dealt with, officially or outside the norm.

What does 'based' mean here?
