About the censure, one noble soul said “We must preserve the integrity of the U.S House of Representatives.” Who is this modern Diogenes, this lion of the House?
George Santos, of course, just before he said he was off to his second job as a pediatric neurosurgeon.
My favorite part of this is “Boebert subsequently told CNN: “Like I said, I’m not in middle school.””…after >checks notes< she got into a fight with another kid because she stole her homework.
“There’s been lawsuits, there’s been accusations about slashing regulations. He’s quoted as saying he didn’t hire a bunch of 50-year-old White guys with military experience because he didn’t want his vessels to be—not inspirational for a younger generation. I don’t care who is in these vessels, I just want them to be experienced and safe. And if you’re gonne be woke, you might have to—”
Watters paused and collected himself.
Sure you do Jesse, sure you, and all the other conservatives that have never seen a regulation that they don’t oppose, do.
We all know ‘woke’ is the latest dog-whistle for whoever they consider undesirables, so, yes, in their minds, those are mutually exclusive.
Any middle aged white guys with military experience who say or think the wrong things are clearly “woke-traitors” or whatever the current dog-whistle term for such people is.

Especially considering how (based on my reading) he stopped himself when he realized what he was saying. Not that we didn’t know it already, but it’s always nice when they spell it out for us, unprompted.

It’s a story for a bar; that way you can talk about the things and you can be politically incorrect
Read, “You can say these things in a bar without getting sued” for “you can be politically incorrect.” I get the feeling that the Infowars/Sandy Hook award and the Dominion settlement may have made at least some of the remaining Fox people a little more cautious.
The GOP isn’t about racism and sexism they are about meritocracy. They are about hiring the best people and if you aren’t hiring exclusively white males then clearly you aren’t hiring the best people. Nope no racism at all.
