Why NOT to vote Republican

[flowerseverywhere]

This whole “Joe’s got stolen documents too! But his aren’t stolen!” Is just hilarious. What in the actual fk goes on with these dimwits in D.C? And by that I mean ALL of them.

I could not agree with you more. Th stupidity, pearl clutching and grandstanding is ridiculous.

At this point, the two factions have drifted apart so much that they no longer share a common reality, and thus no productive discussions can occur.


Be advised.

Here is another brilliant move in Missouri

What is the matter with lawmakers? Don't they have poverty, homelessness, crime, education policies and so on to deal with?

Telling women to cover their arms reminds me of the old days when a woman reported a rape and the first question was "what were you wearing"

A bunch of morons. Do you really think that was why you were voted into office?

i hadn’t heard of this new dress code but as I read this article, it it doesn’t concern me. Male legislators are required to have their “arms covered” meaning they are required to wear business attire, a suit and tie. The existing dress code that was not modified requirss women to wear a blazer or sweater.

The recent proposal calls for women to wear a jacket.

They are attempting to define professional attire. This alarmist article is a nothing burger.

Which doesn’t mean that the Missouri elected officials do not do stupid things, because they do.

I may have jested about Trump selling them on eBay, but basically suspected something nefarious because he has no ethics and the whole thing seemed shady. His motivation for power might be similar to a beagle for bacon. I probably need more information to speculate on Biden. Because Trump seemed uncooperative it cast further suspicions and the nature of the documents that related to national security appeared to be concerning. I don't trust either's explanation yet, but it's a matter of degree if not magnitude.

You mean Donald Trump acted in character and was obstreperous about his secret documents while Joe Biden acted in character and was befuddled about his secret documents?

okay.

Yes. Yes, they do think that is why they were voted in to office.

my point was there are many pressing issues they need to deal with. Recently you had a thread to point out the rampant crime rate in St Louis and Springfield MO. They need to quit wasting time on stupid crap and deal with this pressing issue.
I doubt requiring women to wear jackets is going to affect the crime rate.

Trump repeatedly claimed there was no ‘there’ there as it became obvious to anyone without an R after their name that that there was a lot of ‘there’ there that he was desperately and pathetically trying to deny with multiple lies about whether a full search for docs had been done, etc.

To say Trump "was" uncooperative would that make it obstruction of justice. Guilty as charged or innocent until proven guilty? Is our legal system failing us. Speaking of terminology, is uncooperative and obstruction of justice the same?

No argument from me that Biden's and Trump's cases are like apples to grapes, but "may be" or "are" illegal". Both "are" wrong

Sort of makes a person wonder how many high level officials have done something similar intentionally or by mistake.

I see they found a third collection of documents in Delaware. You would have thought that when his people first discovered the problem a couple of months ago they would have scoured all his usual haunts. He’s starting to look like a Johnny Appleseed of security failures.

A failed GOP candidate for the state house in New Mexico is accused of conspiring and paying men to shoot at the homes of two democratic legislators and two county officials. Apparently no one was hurt. It seems like the current mentality of the far right GOP encourages some element of irrational anger, lies, threats, and other criminality, as in Santos. Even beyond 1/6.

Another case of egregious lies seems to be developing around J. R. Majewski, an Ohio politician.

“A candidate for the state house” i.e. an average Joe Schmo nutjob since anyone can file candadicy papers.He happens to be of the RepublicN stripe (I am taking your word for it) so of course that is why you are hearing about it on mainstream media.

I guarantee you that the brothers shooting up people and houses in and around my old neighborhood were not voting Republican tickets. And then there are the actual Democratic politicians, recently jailed.

We can play tit for tat if you like, but personally I find it to be a boring game.
