Hell, let’s just defund the whole fucking country. Sell everything to the highest foreign bidder, divide all the money among registered Republicans, open the borders, and just leave. Oh, I may have accidentally created the 2024 Republican platform. 🤫 ---

> [@scudsucker](#): > > Sheriff Doyle said: “The first vehicle that came through, we found meth, marijuana, and an open alcohol container, and then one of the occupants had two active warrants … We were like ‘well, this doesn’t bode well for the weekend.’” Got to be the understatement of the year.

There could be a large number of people like me, who fill out the census form type things “RACE: other \_\_\_\_\_” and leave it unspecified or fill in something like "Tau-Cetian”. ---

Won’t someone think of poor little Lauren Boebert, who just can’t seem to become a contender in the GQP Crazy Olympics, no matter how hard she tries? “But she has languished as a poor man’s Sarah Palin and a third rate Josh Hawley, as others seize the spotlight with superior antics.” > **[Opinion | Lauren Boebert, lost in a cacophony of crazy](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/06/23/lauren-boebert-lost-cacophony-crazy/)** > > The event was on brand for Republicans.

Id be willing to bet there were firearms there. But, the police wouldn’t be looking for them. KY has [virtually no restrictions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Kentucky) on firearms. And the only thing the **RNR** [website](http://redneckrave.com/?fbclid=IwAR2bhroc7LmjPSas7oakb-zQ8z6UbWWgxJu4GY1x_wF2s61bQCvtH1H8n74) has to say about guns is this. . .

A 20 year old guy in Delray Beach, FL was leaving a Trump birthday bash put on by the Palm Beach Republicans and he did a huge burnout with his truck over a recently-unveiled LGBTQ-themed mural in an intersection. Video captured his license plate and he was later arrested. And he may end up being the first person charged under Florida’s shitty new anti-protest/anti-vandalism law, because the mural wasn’t just “themed” it was a designated Memorial to the victims of the PRIDE Club massacre. Which means it was covered under the new law. Also, he could be charged with a hate crime. > **[Video shows man vandalizing Pride Intersection; arrest made](https://cbs12.com/news/local/one-person-arrested-for-defacing-pride-intersection-in-delray-beach)** > > One person has been arrested and accused of defacing the LGBTQ Pride Intersection in Delray Beach.
