What was she vaping, I wonder. You’d think she’d be more chill if she vapes the good stuff in Colorado.

Why would her choice of intoxicants be any better than her taste in men, religion, or political party?

Her boobs were absolutely falling out of that too-tight dress. Jeez. “Do you know who I am?” Yeah - you’re just an entitled Karen. Vote her out, Colorado!

I’m assuming she was armed. That’s her calling card. Dangerous for the officers involved.

Too bad that’s not enough reason to get her out of Congress.

Gee, if only she would make a serious error in judgment while drunk and armed… that would be interesting…

Seriously-- if _that_ were a criterion, we could empty the Republican side.

Vaping isn’t just for cannabis.

Could be. If she was a Democrat there would be a committee hearing about it.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders wants to limit Arkansas FOIA requests for her travel arrangements. She arranged for changes to a law to block such requests at the same time that a lawyer is suing to get such records.

I’m deeming this stupid because of the blatant method of trying to hide the information and thus making it a much bigger story. Even some Republicans are against her changes to the law.

Right out of the Trump playbook.

- Sue me, and I’ll sue you right back
- I’ll change the law so I get what I want but you don’t

Well, we DID stop the war, and stuff.

I could actually hear Arlo’s voice.

On our Senior Ditch Day, a group of us went to the beach, and then went to be silly playing miniature golf. One of my good guitar playing friends sang the entire Alice’s Restaurant song on our way, and it filled the time perfectly!
