Let’s be honest; is there even a “quiet part” anymore? ---

My mistake – these are actually two different candidates in different races for the same area. The “radical liberals are destroying the country” guy is running for county treasurer and the “honest conservative” is running for county board. BTW: the “non-partisan” group has a Facebook post calling an opponent of their guy a RINO. ---

For some reason, the Republican Congressional candidate in my district isn’t running any ads, but all of the other Republicans in this area are trying to tie their Democratic opponents to Pelosi. And there’s a Republican running for the state Assembly who was an aide for one of those Republicans, and his Democratic opponent is tying him directly to Individual 1 and 1/6. ---

And there’s a Republican running for the state Assembly who was an aide for one of those Republicans, and his Democratic opponent is tying him directly to Individual 1 and 1/6. I’m pissed at some of the ads the Democratic candidates are running in my district, especially one where the candidate promises to defend Medicare and Social Security and abortion right from anyone in either party that tries to take them away. It makes me want to throw something heavy at my TV. ---

(If Haley had been acknowledging Warnock as a native-born citizen, she could have said “exile” or “banish”.) Haley thereby tosses her hat into the 2024 GOP Veep sweepstakes: _‘see, I can be as racist and deplorable as ANYONE!!!1!!!’_ ---
