The opposite of a stupid Republican idea: Douglas Heard, the chair of the Republican Party of Oregon, has resigned. " My physical and spiritual health can no longer survive exposure to the toxicity that can be found in this community. … “Communist psychological warfare tactics are being used daily within the party. These tactics are being used to destroy anyone of true character who would oppose the man who introduced them into our community for the last 20 years.

Dallas Heard. Which is an insult to the city. In fact, if I named the pile of shit my dog left in the yard “Dallas,” it would be an insult to the pile of dog shit. Heard is the state senator from my district. He is every single R talking point, Trumpian half-baked word salad, MTG conspiracy theory rolled into one vile human. He’s made headlines for two years WRT the pandemic, especially with the “socialist Nazi” mask mandates. He came to my son’s high school a few weeks ago to give a stump speech during a student walk-out over mask mandates. The school told him to get lost, he told them to go to hell. Fun! ---

Hi, looking for a well paid job with little or no work involved? Florida is hiring. No experience needed, though a background in conspiracy theories is beneficial. Short hours, any required reporting will be provided along with pillows, lots of pillows. > **[Florida Legislature approves creation of police force to investigate voter fraud](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/florida-legislature-approves-creation-police-force-investigate-voter-f-rcna19376)** > > The bill, which now heads to Gov. Ron DeSantis' desk, would provide almost $4 million to probe reports of election crimes. No doubt that one of the first probes will be the case of the Florida lawyer urging other Floridians to register at a relatives address in Georgia to vote in the Senatorial election reruns.
