Lauren Boebert won her primary in Colorado. I used to think the people of Colorado had more sense. But then again, they did elect her once.

Many politicians will suck up to anybody and everybody to get elected. It's part of their job.
The more politicians I see snuggling up to religious folk the more disgusted I get. Keep your beliefs out of my politics, and I'll keep my politics out of your religion. Well, I'll try. Lol.
Luanne, lol! Thanks I needed that laugh today.

Another disappointing SCOTUS decision, limiting the EPA's power. Their mantra is it's such a big issue it must be addressed by Congress. Oh yeah, BTW Congress is deadlocked and after midterms will probably be controlled by Republicans. It's hard not to give in to despair.

lani , Speaking of despair, from a news alert from The Washington Post: Supreme Court says it will consider next term what would be a radical change in the way federal elections are conducted The Supreme Court said it will review giving state legislatures sole authority to set the rules for contests even if their actions violated state constitutions and resulted in extreme partisan gerrymandering for congressional seats. Time to move?

I have given in to disgust. I feel like we are fighting a battle that we won't be able to win. We are outnumbered.
The Republicans were very smart to snuggle up to religious people. They are steadfast in their beliefs and will not budge. Perfect people to have on your side. It pains me to do this but I have to give the reps credit. That was a very smart move on their part.
It's deceitful and dishonest but hey, war is Hell.

The infuriating thing is, we're actually in the majority. The opposition is more organized, more focused and don't give a hang about their sleazy, democracy-destroying tactics. They blather on about the Constitution. I don't think many of them give a hoot about the Constitution except as they can use it for establishing their theocracy.

It sure feels like we are outnumbered. I'd feel better if we were. Lol. It's worse knowing we are in the majority and they still seem to be kicking our behinds.
Like I said before. They've managed to convince many gullible people they are the Party of God. As if The Almighty, who created all things, would join a political Party. Ugh.
You don't have to tell the truth, you simply have to convince others that you are.

Saw a meme that said: Men can make thousands of babies a year. Women can make 1. You're punishing the wrong sex.

But, but, but they're only women. What do they know? They can only be trusted with caring for your children, preparing your food, doing your laundry, cleaning up after you make a mess inside or out, and satisfying all your damn needs. For some as well as keeping a full time job!

Do we really need these people we call the Supreme Court? I see them as traffic cops holding their hands up stopping us from doing things we want and need to do. Enough already! Let them go home and discipline their families and leave us alone.
Do I sound bitter? I didn't think so either. Lol.
