“Signs Point To ‘No’”

Not only did Boebert miss the critical vote on the debt ceiling bill she spent so much time on TV & social media railing against, but she put out a video completely lying about it. Is there a point where people in Western CO have had enough of the nonsense & want representation?

Ted Cruz is finishing a second six-year term. Aside from reading Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor, and fleeing to Cancun in the worst winter storm in Texas memory, I can’t tell how he fills his time.  Odds are good he’ll win a third term. Incumbents are sticky.

Boebert’s a piker by comparison. But she’s an incumbent.

A little background;

So, the claimed in the clip above that she decided to skip the vote as a “protest” against the bill, but it sure looks like she missed it because she couldn’t make it on time. https://t.co/IWUkjk7w9M

Embarrassing, but in the grand scheme of things? Meh.

Suddenly I’m seeing John Cleese teaching sex ed in “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life.” And I can’t get it out of my head.

“Make some major concessions to Russia,” Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says.
I got it! Let’s reunite the Czech Republic and Slovakia and hand over Czechoslovakia.
It worked so well the last time the West did that. https://t.co/VBXBCOkL7w

That was before Ramaswamy’s parents were born and so too long ago to be important. Fuck off, boomer!

It’s the Weimar Republic all over again! The signs are all there!! (Say the people who weren’t born when inflation controlled the economy from the late ‘60’s to the mid ‘80’s. It was Volcker who set the path the Fed follows now to control inflation. I know I sound old, but if you don’t remember it, you have no idea what high inflation and high interest rates are. And I ain’t talking about walking to school, uphill, both ways! Which it actually was for me. Truth.)

(My first mortgage had a 10% interest rate. By then, that was considered very “low.” Single digit mortgage interest was thought to have gone the way of the dodo. 🦤)

Ijits.

This obviously makes little sense, but it's not even internally consistent. Rightwingers don't care if the world catches fire bc of the after life, but they care about drag queen brunches? https://t.co/EpeAj8mHdT

Yeah, I’m not touching that exchange with a club. I’ve heard versions of the Campos-Duffy argument all my life, and it either leads to a cult or to incoherence. In this case, definitely the latter.
