> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > It could be a moderate breaking away from a MAGA, but it also could be two MAGAs. The “screw the rules you’re not the boss of me” and “campaigning as graft” attitude of the modern GOP makes it more likely that a candidate who loses the primary would decide to keep running as an independent, and so act as a spoiler to the selected GOP candidate. As I read that it I realized it’s basically the RNC pledge. ---

One form or another of “sore loser law” exists in almost every state by now. Most of the time this is brought up it’s about either broadening or tightening what already exists. ---

Send the ATF or whoever regulates gun dealers and arrest the dealer. (I mean they can arrest trump, too, but make an example of anyone that would sell that abomination of a gun.) ---

Taylor Swift is a force to be reckoned with. She is obviously very bright, an excellent business person, with an enormous following. A person has to be really out of touch to call her stupid and attack her like this. Might as well attack Dolly Parton. Her music doesn’t speak to me, I am not really interested. Doesn’t mean I dismiss it. A lot of people, not only fans but critics and general music aficionados express admiration of her talent. ‘Elite tastemakers’ wtf. Yeah, once again its the evil illuminati against the good, simple, honest millionaires, billionaires and rednecks of America. ---

Both, duh… 🙂 I would really like to see a breakdown of the people who voted for her into the following three categories. 1. Are unaware the loony things she says on a daily basis. 2. Are aware that she is a loony but voted for her anyway because she’s not a Dem. 3. Actually believe that loony things she says are true. I would hope that somehow most of her constituents fall into the first group, or maybe the second, but I fear that a surprisingly large number would fall into the third group. ---

“…And if we’re very, very lucky, they’ll do it in that order.” But I didn’t think it was a secret any more that Greene is a fully-owned Russian agent? She’s not an idiot like Boebert is; she’s just saying what her boss tells her to say.
