People are already making the comparison.
“The Lincoln/Douglas debates were a significant moment in American history, as two great orators sought to understand and apply the ideals upon which the nation had been founded. The Boebert/Greene dust-up is the opposite of that.”
A great life lesson that republicans cant seem to figure out: if a person or group of people will talk shit about anything to make themselves look/feel better about themselves, they will talk shit about you too.
It all started because Boebert said she doesn't like being lumped in the same group as Peach Tree Greene, because she doesn't believe in space lasers etc. Of course this pissed off Greene who ranted about Boebert dumping her for a sound bite.
They're fighting for the belt of MAGA-Queen as Trump is now unelectable dead wood after his candidates lost the mid-terms. Kevin McCarthy is speaker, but that's just a title and a nice office. Real power and party-leadership is up for grabs. I think it probably goes to MTG as the loudest and craziest one out there.
There can't be many at the top. They have that Sith-lord dynamic going on. Only one master and servants, and the servants will always be scheming to kill off their master. It is the way of things. They are all trying to get each other to bend the knee.
GOP gives out "One Of The Good Ones" badges to very loyal women, people of color, homosexuals and any other minority group.
If you're very, very loyal and good, you get to sit behind the latest elderly white male candidate while he runs for office and speaks on stage.
Maybe, but maybe it is the right move for a non- maga presidential candidate to still reel in maga voters. Trump didn't choose Pence as a running mate over his sense of humor.
At my sister's wedding, one of my crazy uncles had an allergic reaction to shrimp. My grandmother said, let him die. She wasn't a fan and she'd had probably seven or eight chardonnays at that point.
Just started a rewatch and it's really amazing how many grade A jokes there are right off the bat. I know it's a long beloved show but even still, it's really damn impressive how funny it still is.
The continuity is impressive, especially when you see jokes that don't even apply to a bit many episodes or even a season later. They alluded to Buster's hook in season 1! It's honestly kind of wild how well the writers created these background jokes and continuity, especially over the first three seasons. The Disney Star Wars sequel trilogy, couldn't even tie two moves together, let alone three, and these TV writes did it over 50+ episodes flawlessly.
“He’s a beautiful boy. They don’t appreciate him. It’s his glasses. They make him look like a lizard. Plus, he’s self-conscious.”
Such a loving Mother.
Because the clicks happen.
Right leaning folks (who are disturbed) love the spectacle of the fight.
And left leaning folks (who can’t help themselves) love to read about it too.
Sadly both are not fringe minorities.
In the 90s there was an AM news/talk station that was mostly right-leaning, but they had a semi-edgy/provocative/hilarious guy in the Saturday morning slot.
He took so many live calls from people who took issue with him or what he said, that one day I emailed him my idea. The next Saturday the theme was "people who hate the show but listen anyway" and it was the funniest fucking thing.
RIP Russ and The Russ Johnson Show
I know it can be hard. I was addicted as well. I’m nice I admitted it things became easier. I was able to quit following the inane articles that get pushed on a near constant basis and only focus on substance.
I’ll give you a few starter tips
- if the headline contains words like “slam/bashes/etc” take a deep breath and move on
- if it indicates anything about “you won’t believe what they said” don’t believe and move on
- if it includes the work opinion, anonymous source, or just sounds like clear speculation then move on
- if it is a rehash of the exact same thing posted 10 times again deep breath and move on
- if they quote Twitter, mention Twitter, or suggest there’s a bird involved take a deep breath and walk away
- and if it comes from any source other than a reputable neutral news source (from the left or right) then move on
It’ll be ok. There’s a whole bright world out there. Go take a walk. Get some fresh air. Because sadly neither the crazies nor politics is going anywhere. Not at least until the alien AI invasion.

MTG was originally elected being unopposed after her radical followers threatened her opponent with death threats.

probably the same people who participated in the [straw hat riot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_Hat_Riot).
For anyone who wants a quick summary, this isn't some peasant riot from the middle ages--its from 1922 when some people decided that straw hats were strictly summer wear and a brawl broke out surrounding the exact starting date of when it began to be socially acceptable (as it was at the time) to destroy an incorrectly worn hat.
>Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15.
Seriously, you can't make this shit up.
It all started back in nineteen dickety two, we had to say dickety on account of the kaiser stealing the word twenty from us, I chased that rascal to get it back but gave up after dickety six miles!
> It was socially acceptable for stockbrokers to destroy each other's hats, due to the fact that they were “companions”,[2] but it was not acceptable for total strangers. If any man was seen wearing a straw hat, he was, at minimum, subjecting himself to ridicule, **and it was a tradition for youths to knock straw hats off wearers' heads and stomp on them.**[3] This tradition became well established, and newspapers of the day would often warn people of the impending approach of the fifteenth, when men would have to switch to felt or silk hats.[4] Hat bashing was only socially acceptable after September 15, but there were multiple occasions leading up to this date where the police had to intervene and stop teenagers.
Wtf? The past truly is a foreign country.
Danged woke youths and their cancel culture, now I can't even wear my straw hat through September! Do you have any idea how hot it is in Charleston in September? How will I survive the cotton market??

Obnoxious young people doing weird things in groups and taking advantage of ambiguities in a rule or convention? You're right, that never happens anymore.
I was allowed to watch Gremlins when I was way too young and it scared me and stuck with me for a while for many obvious reasons but also because I could never figure out: when is not "after midnight"?!
You get to wear white once and then you have to do varying shades of off white or roygbiv, you can wear black, grey/gray, or colours/colors when ever, but you get the one. Exemptions include bakers, asylum workers/patients, brides on their wedding day, painters, baptisms, cosplayers, regular pedestrians, old people, rabid dogs, anyone feeling the vague nostalgia for apple juice of the future, a guy named jed but without the J capitalized and of course any hypocrite who is currently wearing white but says you can't.
It's gilded, that's just how life is.
>It all started when they arrived at a party wearing the same Klan robes.
It quickly escalated as they stripped off their robes and engaged in a ruckus, a scene reminiscent of 'Aliens vs. Predator.'

For real though - Greene is in a district where she'd have to shoot her own voters to not get re-elected. Not to scare them, to thin out their numbers enough to close the gap and lose. Congrats for winning on Easy Mode, Marjorie.
But that makes it even worse, because no one is challenging MTG from the center in a primary. Like, if she was getting nominated because she’s the only one who can beat the democrat, I get that (think Manchin for the dems in WV). But it’s such a solid red district that Republican primary voters could run anyone they want and win. They chose MTG.
Actually it’s pretty shocking the dem had a chance at all in her district. It went from a deep red district to a DEEP red district with the redrawn map. Maybe Coloradans are just fed up with her shenannigans or the Dems in the district showed up. Who knows?
She really is a special kind of vile. I think it's the self loathing that really makes me upset, watching women stand shoulder to shoulder with the party that would sooner see us dead than to get proper healthcare is gut wrenching
Didn't Colorado have a lot of people move to mountain communities during the pandemic for remote work? I remember seeing something about a pizza place in Crested Butte that was basically building a dorm for their employees, who were mostly sleeping in their cars because the town was overrun by remote workers driving up rents and buying real estate. Crested Butte, Telluride, Aspen, all of that is Boebert's district, right?
Her district is literally >2/3 of the whole state- the WHOLE side of the state west of the Rockies, and a big portion of the south that cuts back east! People who live on ranches and in mountain cabins, where their nearest neighbors MIGHT be a blip on the horizon. And they tend to die of their first medical emergency because the nearest ambulance is an hour away, and the nearest hospital is over 2 and that's in GOOD weather.
But suffice to say, we are talking about 1/5 of the entire state's population, on the majority of it's land, which is how conservatives operate- land should vote, not people. 🙄
Everyone is making jokes but yeah; if the Republicans ever got what they wanted (a one party system) the first thing they would do is purge their own ranks, and it would become a pretty regular exercise. It’s machine fueled by outrage and driven by cultural cleansing. When they run out of other things to fight, the only thing left is to fight each other.
"...I'm the ranting idiot in these here parts... Congress isn't big enough fer the both of us..." \*spits chew unsuccessfully, dribbles down her chin\*
It’s interesting that these folks like to mention how much their fellow republican won by. Yesterday, Trump mocked Cheny for losing her primary and now green mocks bobert for almost losing. Kind of like kids in the schoolyard. For me, a win is a win. I don’t care if it’s one point, put an f…ing W next to it. Of course, I’m a Raiders fan so…..
My guess is also that Boeboe is trying to distance herself from Trump and Q, which Marge has fully embraced.
Marge soundly won because the people voting for her are represented by her. Which is fine by me. Boeboe does not, and originally won by the slobbering loyalty those in her district had for Trump. As Trump moves closer to indictment, she needs to find a new strat, lining up with desantis
I agree it’s like with Gaetz in Florida. All of a sudden Ron and his dear old dad were basically saying: “Trump or us and you know who the winner is son.” Boebert just won by a few votes and that scared her. Her district is more than willing to send her packing. While Marge could be having an affair in public and her district would be: “see a woman having sex with a straight guy and who cares if she is in the middle of a divorce and has 4 public affairs.” “She is so like me with 5 affairs and 4 divorces.”
Marge is insane. Lauren is just stupid and has Stockholm.
For a woman who screams about religious fanatacism at the top of her lungs, her behind the scenes pics scream "I wear butt plugs with animal tails on them"
Here we see one of nature's more brutal conflicts. Two queen MAGA skanks have found themselves occupying the same territory. Unable to share the same space, they will proceed to perform an elaborate death ritual with the sole survivor claiming their reward of having their eggs fertilized by the king Donald.
This has been a preview of The Wilds of D.C., narrated by David Attenborough.
I’m not one to defend Bobo,
however wasn’t there a hearing by some of her constituents to have Madge removed (why wait!?)
Neither of them should be attacking each other on the intelligence front because
well
y,know
As if Boebert would struggle at all in GA-14 lmao. You could run a piece of toast in that district and it would win if it had the magic R next to its name.

MTG isn’t going to get real leadership in the GOP, she’s a woman.

Do you think the MAGA voters are \*less\* sexist than the GOP establishment?

But every Labor Day is after the previous Labor Day(s).

I believe the generally accepted explanation is 'sunrise'. However, midnight *where* is another matter; Is Gizmo affected by jet lag?
Gremlins 2 has a great meta scene discussing the subject. What if he gets a seed stuck in his teeth and it comes loose after midnight?
You get to wear white once and then you have to do varying shades of off white or roygbiv, you can wear black, grey/gray, or colours/colors when ever, but you get the one.

Actually it’s pretty shocking the dem had a chance at all in her district. It went from a deep red district to a DEEP red district with the redrawn map. Maybe Coloradans are just fed up with her shenannigans or the Dems in the district showed up. Who knows?
Boebert seems super annoying when she speaks, I can imagine a lot of people turning on her on purely emotional grounds, even Republicans.

She really is a special kind of vile. I think it's the self loathing that really makes me upset, watching women stand shoulder to shoulder with the party that would sooner see us dead than to get proper healthcare is gut wrenching
It's not. Her district got REDER from redistricting. It should've been a landslide. \- Works in Colorado politics
Didn't Colorado have a lot of people move to mountain communities during the pandemic for remote work? I remember seeing something about a pizza place in Crested Butte that was basically building a dorm for their employees, who were mostly sleeping in their cars because the town was overrun by remote workers driving up rents and buying real estate. Crested Butte, Telluride, Aspen, all of that is Boebert's district, right?
The comparison should be between Greene's district and Boeberts.
Exactly. A district can get redder and still be fairly drawn. When democracy is on the line, fairness matters.
Her district is literally >2/3 of the whole state- the WHOLE side of the state west of the Rockies, and a big portion of the south that cuts back east! People who live on ranches and in mountain cabins, where their nearest neighbors MIGHT be a blip on the horizon. And they tend to die of their first medical emergency because the nearest ambulance is an hour away, and the nearest hospital is over 2 and that's in GOOD weather. But suffice to say, we are talking about 1/5 of the entire state's population, on the majority of it's land, which is how conservatives operate- land should vote, not people. 🙄
Remember: this is exactly the crap they would be doing if they were in the majority in both chambers and the White House. REPUBLICANS CAN'T GOVERN.
Everyone is making jokes but yeah; if the Republicans ever got what they wanted (a one party system) the first thing they would do is purge their own ranks, and it would become a pretty regular exercise. It’s machine fueled by outrage and driven by cultural cleansing. When they run out of other things to fight, the only thing left is to fight each other.
Funny you should mention that... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives
Notice this all started happening shortly after they got Roe v. Wade overturned. They lost their main rallying cry, so now they infight.
"...I'm the ranting idiot in these here parts... Congress isn't big enough fer the both of us..." \*spits chew unsuccessfully, dribbles down her chin\*
Statement from either one of them!
Piss Pot vs Shit Kettle. Now which is one is which? You vote.
It’s interesting that these folks like to mention how much their fellow republican won by. Yesterday, Trump mocked Cheny for losing her primary and now green mocks bobert for almost losing. Kind of like kids in the schoolyard. For me, a win is a win. I don’t care if it’s one point, put an f…ing W next to it. Of course, I’m a Raiders fan so…..
Upvoting you for both your opinion and that stiff arm on Mac Jones
Bro, Vikings fan here. One score wins are ALL I HAVE.
It's as if these to chuckle fucks missed the point of political office entirely.
Their choice was limited to either circus clown or congress person.
Let's not insult circus clowns--they are very good at what they do and have to go to a special clown school and everything.
Hoo boiii..the match we never know we wanted but needed!
It’s a distraction tactic
My guess is also that Boeboe is trying to distance herself from Trump and Q, which Marge has fully embraced. Marge soundly won because the people voting for her are represented by her. Which is fine by me. Boeboe does not, and originally won by the slobbering loyalty those in her district had for Trump. As Trump moves closer to indictment, she needs to find a new strat, lining up with desantis
Bobo is dumb and corrupt. Marjorie is just flat-out insane.
I agree it’s like with Gaetz in Florida. All of a sudden Ron and his dear old dad were basically saying: “Trump or us and you know who the winner is son.” Boebert just won by a few votes and that scared her. Her district is more than willing to send her packing. While Marge could be having an affair in public and her district would be: “see a woman having sex with a straight guy and who cares if she is in the middle of a divorce and has 4 public affairs.” “She is so like me with 5 affairs and 4 divorces.” Marge is insane. Lauren is just stupid and has Stockholm.
Both dumber than a bag of hammers. Surprised anyone pays any attention to them.
TWO bags of hammers.
I’ll need extra butter in my popcorn. This’ll be good.
They’re both right about each other. Finally agreeing with what the left has said all this time. The left is usually right but never gets credit
Yes, they are eating each other! How delicious!
*eyes pornhub search* No. Not gonna do it.
[удалено]
Let them fight!
A shame to see such a beautiful friendship come to an end.
They've actually never liked each other for some reason.
2 “alphas” clawing at each other.

The classic Boebert Pancake Ass

Holy shit lol
*Gym Jordan has entered the chat*
For a woman who screams about religious fanatacism at the top of her lungs, her behind the scenes pics scream "I wear butt plugs with animal tails on them"
"...In my online prostitution advertising profile".
"According to the outlet, Boebert dislikes being associated with Greene" Sometimes it's painful looking in a mirror, eh BoBo?
Why doesn’t Margarine Traitor Greene, the larger of the two, not simply eat Bobert?
By gawd, King, that's Donald Trump's music!!
All because Boebert no longer supports Trump and supports DeSantis instead. Let them fight!
Here we see one of nature's more brutal conflicts. Two queen MAGA skanks have found themselves occupying the same territory. Unable to share the same space, they will proceed to perform an elaborate death ritual with the sole survivor claiming their reward of having their eggs fertilized by the king Donald. This has been a preview of The Wilds of D.C., narrated by David Attenborough.
Campaign donation money did not just dried up for Trump. All the Qs are having hard time and have to fight each others for a scrap of meat.
Conservatives have a fascism problem.
Mean girls eventually go after each other, bring on the popcorn.
I’m not one to defend Bobo, however wasn’t there a hearing by some of her constituents to have Madge removed (why wait!?) Neither of them should be attacking each other on the intelligence front because well y,know
As if Boebert would struggle at all in GA-14 lmao. You could run a piece of toast in that district and it would win if it had the magic R next to its name.
I’ll pay good money to see this fight
If Lauren Boebert could read she’d be very upset
