From that article:

“Hacked” by someone with topless pictures of Claudia? How big is that pool of suspects?

For all that I loathe KellyAnne, this smacks of “teen acting out”. My money’s on Claudia doing it.

Right, you lot just made that part up. @ me when you have something real to debate.

And remember, if you reply to the thread instead of to a post, the poster may not see it.

I wonder how many people with teenage daughters have topless pictures of them.

I do not want to know the actual answer to that question. It would undoubtedly sadden me.

The official Oregon GOP has officially declared that the attack on the Capitol was a false flag operation to make Individual 1 look bad.

They also call the impeachment a “lynching.” Because Oregon.

The false flag thing though - do they think that the identified seditionists are really liberals who have spent the past 20-or-more years (for many, their public history starts long before Trump was on the political scene) pretending to be Republicans so that someday in the future a Republican president might say something that they might use an excuse to do something vaguely violent and blame it on the Republican party?

Don’t they know that Democrats just aren’t that fucking organized?

Fuck. I voted for Republicans when I lived in Oregon. McCall, Hatfield, even Packwood were decent people. I believe I would not even want to be in the same room with a PNW Republiopath these days.

I’m not surprised.

Trump surrogates have been busy radicalizing the state and local GOP organizations for a while now. It’s going to pose a problem for any Republicans that want to stay remotely mainstream.
