Boebert on Top

 

One of the primaries I was interested in this year was Lauren Boebert's primary in CO-4, having moved from CO-3 to get a better chance at keeping a seat. After all, her "theatrics" that got her kicked out of a musical last year weren't going to do her any favors, were they? 

What do you think? She beat out a field that included five others. 

This goes a long way to confirming my suspicion that Republicans want mascots, not serious people. Name recognition because of, not in spite of, her often childish and extreme behavior worked for, not against her. (And Twitter tells me a few people familiar with CO politics don't necessarily think there was a better candidate to get behind.) 

This is a GOP problem--it's just that when people get down to voting for literally anyone with an "R" after their name, well, they will, won't they? They can't get better candidates that way. But then again, they don't seem to want them. 

TWGB: Civil War Solutions to Modern Problems

 

I think it's very fitting, after all, that Donald Judas Trump got a ruling against his being on the ballot for fomenting an insurrection under the 14th Amendment, because that remedy was a solution to insurrectionism post-Civil War, and the "1776" plan from Trump and his little friends was not a revolution for the sake of freedom, but a peculiar invocation of a civil war.  Because Trump losing made some people big mad and they believed stupid fraudulent shit about Chinese thermostats and Italian satellites and stuff. It really isn't more intelligent than that. 

I think the Colorado State decision makes a lot of sense, and frankly, I don't personally care if it's popular. Trump's favorability with his party doesn't mean anything to me, because look--how many people supported the Confederacy? A lot. They lost.

That's the point. You don't like the 14th Amendment, go crazy kids, vote for legislators who definitely want insurrectionists to hold office. Pro-treason in defense of random bullshit your whole face off.  But as for me, I will vote for Democrats and support the Constitution because I'm not a whole-ass traitor. You don't vote for pro-insurrection and pretend you are a patriot. You don't get to lie about the election, or pretend Trump is innocent regarding what happened on 1/6, and even have my glancing respect. 

We can all understand that Proud Boys stood back and stood by--until then, and Oath Keepers broke all their oaths that day. It wasn't antifa and the feds, it was Soft-Skulled crabs who were so proud of themselves, they selfied and posted to social media their civil war disobedience.
