The Absurd GOP

[Thumpalumpacus]

Nothing says "party over country" like Tuberville's stunt

His stance is more a result of his extreme anti-abortion views. He's holding up the confirmations until the Pentagon stops funding travel for female servicemembers to obtain abortions in legal states. Not only is his stance impacting our readiness by depleting leadership without replacements, if he were to get his way, that too would damage readiness by forcing female servicemembers to term if they cannot personally afford such travel and accomodations.

Many of his fellow Republicans are very upset with him for this. It's not so much partisanship as it is holding the military hostage for the sake of his personal misogyny.

As a veteran, I find his blockade here despicable -- no matter its motivation.

Fair - it's more of a separation clause issue at its core. Still he's pulling this to cater to the GOP base.

CostCo still sells Bud Light. If I could stand the taste, I'd buy some just to trigger the rednecks.

Lauren Boebert Escorted Out Of Theater

Symptomatic of the larger issue that people no longer know how to behave in public.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a Sunday night performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical in downtown Denver, accused by venue officials of vaping, singing, recording and “causing a disturbance” during the performance.

In an incident report shared with The Denver Post on Tuesday afternoon, officials with Denver Arts & Venues wrote that two patrons were asked to leave the city-owned Buell Theatre during the performance of the touring Broadway show. They previously were issued a warning during the intermission regarding behavior that prompted three complaints from other theatergoers, the report says.

And, of course, she played the 'Do you know who I am?' card.

She does seem seriously committed to trashy behaviour.

Commedian Trae Crowder on Bobo: "She does wrong out loud"

Here's what's sad about Boebert...enough people thought she was good enough to be elected to office.

Doesn't say much for them. Much like the people who vote for that beast MTG.
