I caught this in a [huffpo article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marjorie-taylor-greene-hog-hunting-video_n_6333e5d3e4b028164523f9bf). The article is pretty vile on it’s own (suggesting people should go hunting for wild hogs…also, wile hogs are democrats), however, the quote that caught my attention was this:

> We’ve got skyrocketing inflation, high diesel fuel and **Democrats’ America-last policies**

My bolding.

Gaetz, OTOH, is apparently one of those hogs she’s looking to kill.

> [it should be investigations first, and policy as a far, far diminished priority.](https://preview.redd.it/senator-fivehead-wants-to-impeach-biden-for-what-exactly-v0-unhrmgmx4gq91.jpg?auto=webp&s=452a6906eadeba935c0552dbad78009a0f45d910)

At least it seems like the handful of wingnuts that are trying to make it sound like the entire country has agreed that Biden has to be impeached are getting a ton of push back from other Rs.

Pop singer Lizzo, who is also a classically-trained flautist, recently got to play a flute once owned by James Madison during a concert in DC.

Naturally, the culture war types who never knew or cared about James Madison’s musical instruments until yesterday have declared this the worst thing to happen in DC since the British burned it, because a black woman playing a flute is “woke” or something.

They don’t seem to be doing much because of the other gas leaks.

“He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom."

That’s a weird way to put it. “My husband made me a mother!” Is he the one who flashed a bunch of minors at a bowling alley or was it Boebert?

That was Jayson Boebert. Lauren was one of the minors, IIRC. Also, Jayson did jail time for “lewd exposure”.

To me, that almost sounds like she’s trying to get out in front of an allegation. Like, he was cheating on her or raped someone and got them pregnant and she’s wants to double down on the weird ‘if a rapist impregnates you, it’s _actually_ a blessing’ mentality before it eventually goes public.  
Honestly, knowing exactly nothing about him or their marriage and not very much about her, it’s probably just a run of the mill ‘it wasn’t working’ divorce or maybe he’s decided to stop sticking his dick in the crazy. But if a pregnant woman or estranged (even if it’s an adult) child comes forward, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Not yet, but I’ll bet he’s the one person in the whole country who is delighted that the hurricane showed up. No one’s talking about his migrant stunt anymore!!
