I see that Nancy Pelosi is going to run for her House seat again. At least she still has all her marbles at 83! I know I will feel better with her on the job.

I don’t have the links copied but did you guys see 2 interesting things that happened recently:
Dive Bar Boebert got kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical performance for vaping (prohibited in the venue) and being her usual trashy obnoxious self. They escorted her out and released the security footage. She tried to use her “fame” to fight getting booted out. As it should be, it didn’t work.
Trump attended a baseball game in Iowa recently (a state in which he literally won the the presidential votes in the past) and a sizable number of game attendees flipped him off. In Iowa!! This is positive news for future elections if the tide is finally turning.

Our governor is getting quite a backlash from the executive order she just signed banning all weapons in the city of Albuquerque.

Well out state Republicans in Wisconsin are just so weird. I have no idea what will happen really. But out Democratic chair is great he is ready for them and since many of the Republican districts people voted for the Justice they want to impeach they are not sure they should do it since people are calling in from those districts warning their republic representatives that voted for the Justice and she should not be impeached or they will refuse to vote for them. When a JUSTICE WINS BY 11 POINTS IN ASTATE THAT IS 50 50 you know some Republicans voted for her

Well, I'm actually glad to see that Hunter was indicted. That goes a long way to the "everyone is equal under the law" mantra that we've been lead to believe is true. Of course, getting the maga crowd to see this applies to their orange commander as well isn't that easy, because, you know, any charges against him are a witch hunt. Meanwhile they're demanding Joe be indicted as well, with no proof that he was even aware of what his son was doing lol.
I have to admit though, the possible 25 year sentence for the gun charges just don't really seem balanced when you see murderers getting less than 15 years, you know?

Pretty sure Jared Kushner and Ivana Trump (and probably rest of the family) have done things more egregious than non-disclosure of drug addiction during a gun purchase (not that I agree with the non-disclosure). But you are probably right that doing this does help display impartiality and try to show an even playing field (even though we know it's never even).

Watching the Paxton faux-impeachment vote... the GOP is voting to acquit on every count, of course. It takes 21 votes for impeach on just 1 of the (howevermany) counts to remove him from office. I'm hopeful they pull up and actually vote to take him down, then the rest of this psycho clown circus that is the Texas gop.

Cult members won’t dare speak out on cheating on one’s spouse! We all know he controls that entire party including McCarthy who had a change of tune between a year or so ago and now. Speaking of TX, I follow Brian Tyler Cohen on social media and he shared this story recently. youtu.be/KNme0JPcVoo?si=D3XBICgO2bDiW_-7Apparently Katy ISD has decided to add more titles to their growing banned book list. Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss (literally one of the most innocent books you could ever come across!) and Judy Blume’s Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. I’m actually surprised they didn’t go after that one before. Too much real talk in it! Periods and bras, can’t have that in a middle or high school library!! Our local Barnes and Noble puts signs under any books that have been banned across the country and includes examples of the reasons cited by the book bans. My kids have a language arts teacher that has a poster in her classroom which says “I Read Banned Books.” Very pleased that my children don’t have to live in or be educated in a district/area that is so anti free thinking when it comes to age appropriate literature!
