Paul Gosar wants Congress to hold another election this year with Individual 1 vs. Biden. There should be a law that you can’t serve in Congress if you can’t pass a government test.
In the case of Gosar and some others, a psychiatric evaluation would probably be more in order.
Did he also kilt himself a bar when he was only three?
There have certainly been plenty of news reports comparing death rates in states that voted Republican versus states that voted Democrat. A google search will find lots of such reports.
There is even at least one report that breaks it down to the county level in Washington State. Counties that voted at least 60% Republican had 44.4 deaths per 100,000, while counties that voted at least 60% Democrat had 6.8 deaths per 100,000.
Not sure what thread is best for this, but here is good enough.
It’s all over the news, especially the right-wing news, that Sen. Tammy Duckworth, et many al pay $0 property tax due to Illinois property tax exemptions for disabled veterans. Fox News, Breitbart, and all the rest, are spinning this as proving what awful deadbeats they are.
I first saw this at Raw Story IIRC, which of course posts lots of comments and tweets that they find. The best tweet I recall was something along the lines of
“What will the next headline be?
Sen. Tammy Duckworth ticketed
for parking in disabled spot.”
I can’t even get eight hours of sleep in bed these days.
Is anyone else having a Trading Places flashback?
This ain’t golf, bub. You don’t get a mulligan. Even if you did, wouldn’t the double-secret Deep State that managed to out-cheat Trump and his minions so slick not a single trace of their perfidy can be found… simply do it again?
Side note: I had the impression his district was north-eastern Arizona, and it mainly is, but a fat tentacle reaches down, curling around those evil bastions of Phoenix and Mesa to grasp Apache Junction, just a few miles from where I live. He’s bound to attend a campaign rally there – think 'll attend. If I don’t make it back tell Mom love her.
The cited article says Covid has killed 1 in 434 rural Americans and 1 in 513 urban Americans. I’m not sure how they define those terms.
Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin has died.
It says he had cancer, but I don’t think he really had cancer - after all, the body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Got any other cite for that? I’d like to read the exact words of his confession, but the Raw Story link is a 404.
And the political divide in covid cases and deaths is especially pronounced when you realize that, ordinarily, epidemics hit high population densities much harder. To get numbers like we’re getting, the rural people have to be going out of their way to try to deliberately get infected.
Every study I see has ratios. I want raw numbers. I want a body count. I want a study that tells me that x Republicans in Ohio have died of Covid. The numbers have to be there, otherwise nobody could produce ratios unless they are pulling the numbers out of their ass.
I seem to remember Individual 1 bragging during the 2016 debates that he was smart because he didn’t pay taxes. So, you’d think Republicans would be absolutely delighted that Duckworth* paid zero taxes.
* No, autocorrect, I am not trying to spell "sucked" or "fucked".

(It’s only OK when a Republican doesn’t do it.)
It doesn’t have Lewandowski’s exact words, only Ms Odom’s recollection of them.
Heres a detailed version of the story, I was just coming here to post it.
It includes her full statement to the police. It sounds like he thought he could intimidate her into having sex with him. When he found he couldn’t, he threw a drink at her and called her stupid.
South Dakota governor ( and alleged Lewandowski side piece ) says she saw him harassing Odom and sent him a text telling him to stop. I’m not sure if she did this because she was concerned for Odom or just jealous. Several other people “reassured” Odom that “Corey always acts like this.”
They’re all troglodyte savages and have no place in polite society. Thus just confirms it.
One of them just for snoring.
And the other one in Reno, just to – aw, come on, you know the rest!
How much do you want to bet that the police question him on those two murders, and he tells them “Aw, man, I was just trying to intimidate her into sleeping with me”, and then they get him on attempted rape?
What I don’t get is why he would need to intimidate anyone into sleeping with him? I mean, I get all tingly just looking at him.
(You have to say that completely straight-faced to get the best sarcasm.)
I’ll take that bet. Far far far more likely is “Aw, man, I was just trying to intimidate her into sleeping with me”, and the LEOs say OK and walk away.
