> [@Smapti](#): > > Mehmet Oz says he’s proud to be endorsed by “leaders” such as Ted Nugent. Speaking of endorsements, here is an interesting article about folks paying/groveling for Trump’s endorsement. Failed WA governor candidate and all around moron, Loren Culp, has that endorsement and is causing issues in a congressional race against a current RINO that had the gall to vote to impeach Trump. I wonder if the Nuge has the same rigorous standards for handing out endorsements? > **['The new swamp': 2,500 miles from Mar-a-Lago, Central Washington primary in...](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/may/13/the-new-swamp-2500-miles-from-mar-a-lago-central-w/)** > > Five Republican candidates stood at the front of a VFW post in Yakima on the first Saturday of May.

TBF, that’s just one person. But it doesn’t assuage me that Ted Nugent was at a Trump rally last night, after the news had already broken about the shooting, urging the attendees to go out and crack some Democrat heads. ---

But it doesn’t assuage me that Ted Nugent was at a Trump rally last night, after the news had already broken about the shooting, urging the attendees to go out and crack some Democrat heads. Clearly you didn’t bother to read the article as there are several people on the right mentioned who have made the claim it was a false flag op. Coincidentally, they are also people who promoted similar “race replacement” baloney. ---

Laramie (home to UW) is what passes for “liberal” in these parts. Meaning its probably more like 85% Republican 😛 As a Wyoming resident, let me just say “Fuck you, Cynthia Lummis.” ---
