> [@Horatius](#): > > I guess the ultimate notion is, “Hey, if **they** can fix the Republican Primaries so that I lost, of course **they** can fix the general election so that the Republican candidate loses!” Yes, but who are “they”? What possible “they” would not only secretly fix only a few elections in favor of Democrats over Republicans, but then fix things for other Republicans against poor Gilbert? (Unless “they” know Gilbert would have beaten the Democrat so badly in the general that even “they” couldn’t fix it!) I do realize these losers are just a bunch of mental 5-year-olds whose egos can’t stand the idea of losing fairly – which is fitting for a party which has become nothing more than a nationwide tantrum. ---

> **[Wealthy Man with Unknown Number of Kids Says People Aren't Concerned with...](https://jezebel.com/wealthy-man-with-unknown-number-of-kids-says-people-are-1849319253)** > > Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker's comments on the state's new abortion ban were incredibly stupid and out of touch. Here is a real statement that came out of his mouth when a reporter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked him about the abortion ban: “You’re going to bring up things that people are not concerned about,” Walker said. “People are concerned about gas, they’re concerned about food. They’re not even talking about that.” People concerned about the cost of groceries and gas would absolutely be concerned about having another mouth to feed and butt to diaper. And actual research bears out this common-sense deduction: Not being able to afford a baby is one of the top reasons people have abortions. The typical abortion seeker in the U.S. is someone who already has kids and is living on a low income. Another piss-poor candidate for the US Senate [oh how that body has degenerated with Mitch Turtle McConnell , Joe Bugger it all Manchin, and Susan Concerned (deeply) Collins]. This is the best the GQP can come up with? A CTE damaged ex-football player with all the worldly knowledge of a toadstool? Backs Oranganus and is easily manipulated - Qualified. ---

Secret Democrats trying to promote RINOs. The RINOs will either help the Dems cheat to win the general election, or they’ll steal all the votes from the MAGAt candidates, and then immediately declare their support for Satan and Joe Biden.
