Then he’d better pack up his carpetbag, because [WA-6](https://ballotpedia.org/Washington%27s_6th_Congressional_District) (which includes all of Kitsap County) is pretty solidly blue: in 2020 D topped R by almost 19 percentage points, and there’s little indication that’ll change any time soon.

Not any more, I woefully bet.
It’ll be the new MAGA salute, in that MAGAt way of appropriating something to the point of obliterating its original existence / meaning, to make their budding sense of authoritatianism at least have the look of unity, that dopamine rush of agency and veneer of invincibility, or something.
Another version of U.S.A. X 3!!!

It’s a rare display of bipartisanship: everyone wants to raise a finger for Trump! Just… not the same finger.

Mark FInchem, the candidate for Arizona Secretary of State, loves to quote anti-Semitic posts, like rich Jews are financing his opposition, rich Jews are directing the media, and the Democrats owe their loyalty to George Soros and Mike Bloomberg.

Don Bolduc, a former Army general, now disgraced for lying about - well - everything, runs afoul of the abortion issue.

On fraud - “Bolduc, like many Republicans, has a fraught relationship with the truth: This is the same man who repeatedly said during his primary campaign that Donald Trump won the 2020 election—only to [change his position](https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/politics/don-bolduc-election-new-hampshire-senate/index.html) less than two days after winning his primary, saying that President Joe Biden did, in fact, win that election.”
Some general.

Since the GOP became the Let’s Worship Tan the Conman party, there is no quiet part for them. They have exactly zero restraints on their words and behavior.

Exactly. It’s no longer truth or consequences because neither are useful or apply to them.

Loser Donald claims he would’ve gotten a better seat than Biden at the funeral that he wasn’t invited to and nobody wanted him to be at.

> Meanwhile, a pre-launch, unpaid app ambassador that lives in Tampa, Florida, Savannah Dudzik, who met the startup’s representatives at a Turning Point USA gathering, added that she has historically disliked dating apps (such as Catholic Match), partly because men on the platform were just looking to hook up. She is hopeful for a more positive experience with The Right Stuff—serious romance only—and is excited to see it get off the ground. “I think it’s going to be a hit!” Dudzik said.
Yeah, good luck with that. I hear Matt Gaetz is available.
I remember long ago a list of the differences between Democrats and Republicans (Democrats read their smut alone at home. Republicans form Decency Leagues and read it in groups at church). One of the entries was, Democrat boys date Democrat girls. So to Republican boys. They’ll _marry_ a Republican girl but want some fun first.
