Why NOT to vote Republican

[iris lilies]

George Santos--aka George Devolder, pathological liar; Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boy and convicted felon, Ted Cruz, widely-despised senator, etc. It's clearly a matter of context.

I like Ted Cruz.

I like Ted Cruz.

You're apparently not the only one, considering Texas election results, but I've read repeatedly that he's a pariah in the halls of Congress.

I like Ted Cruz.

I'm not surprised. You seem to have a thing for mean guys.

Who are they? Hispanics or Republicans? Or does it matter?

Come now.

Consider context. In a thread devoted to problematic Republicans, what category do you suppose this example of a problematic Republican falls into?

But you know. You're just "cleverly" disrupting the conversation by raising the Hispanic possibility. And perhaps even trying to throw a bit of shade.

It is transparent.

Annnnnd - speaking of Republicans, it looks like they(*) are going to give George Santos positions on the House Small Business Committee and the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.

And Marjorie Taylor Greene will be on the Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Homeland Security Committee. Especially funny given her 9/11 Truther and Jewish Space Laser beliefs.

They also are letting Paul Gosar step up to the plate.

Sick.

(*) The Republicans, specifically the leadership, specifically specifically the House GOP Steering Committee

I'd counter that this is the most transparent thread ever. I'm more of a killjoy getting under the skin of the cool kids.

"And Marjorie Taylor Greene will be on the Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Homeland Security Committee. Especially funny given her 9/11 Truther and Jewish Space Laser beliefs."

So one of the instigators/fomenters of the January 6th insurrection, and the politician who recently announced "Vengeance is mine declares the Lord. God will not let evil go unpunished." is back in business. So reassuring.

Did I miss the point where she changed her pronouns to he/him? Otherwise she’s not like to be a mean guy like the dicks you love.

Heck, I thought Allan's response was just the standard Republican obfuscation of the issues, or maybe that he just didn't understand correctly.
