I campaigned for her when I lived in California. She was elected by the people to be attorney general. That writer is a POS and the New York Post is a shitty rag of a newspaper.

And then we elected her senator.

Lauren Boebert is uneducated white trash who only got her GED in 2020, just before she first took her oath of office. She has absolutely no business in Congress, much less disparaging anyone with a college degree and certainly not VP Harris. She disgraces the great state of Colorado every time she opens her ignorant, bigoted mouth.

The bigotry and #Fascism of the Republican party is a threat to democracy

Sadly these days, they are not afraid to hide it, it's out in plain sight. Disgusting trumpism has taken us here...

This absolutely infuriates me to the core! Look at the so-called pathetic leader they chose to represent them! tRump made it to where he is by lying, cheating, and manipulation! He’s a con, a fraud! He’s the poorest excuse of a man…yet, they chose him to represent their movement racist, misogynistic, hateful movement! We ARE a diverse, equitable, and inclusive nation and the majority says, if you don’t like it, leave! I wish these people would slither back under the rocks tRump gave them permission to come out from!

The normalization of racism and misogyny and hatred in general is destroying our nation-all thanks to the MAGA agenda and the Republicans who have drunk the koolaid. We must defeat them in every way in November-America needs to be better than this. 🙏💙🙏💙🙏🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

This has been going on longer than we realize. We may have thought that the civil rights legislation in the 1960s took care of the issue, but it was still simmering under the surface until trump opened up all the rotten logs they've been hiding under.

I think I should have said until trump moved all the rotten logs the bigots have been hiding under. Like the way he moved boxes of documents at Mar-A-Lago…

Yes, Trump didn't turn anyone into a bigot. He is simply a reflection of his base. Like Narcissus, they love what they see. They remind me of a term I heard long ago in southern Maryland. They are like company roaches. Roaches are supposed to only come out at night, but if the conditions are right and they feel safe, they come out in the day to greet your company.

GOP, The party of roaches. Nevertheless, for this week I’m going to practice MAKE AMERICA KIND AGAIN and simply ignore the roaches.

Thank you for calling it out. She has gotten so much undeserved bad press. It is Obama and Hillary Clinton all over again. Today they were saying her parents weren't legal citizens when she was born here. All I hear is that she laughs too much. I have heard people say she was racist because she sent Black people to jail. Umm, that was her job. Was she supposed to let criminals go free because they are Black? It is all ridiculous. She will be a great President AFTER Joe Biden wins this November.

I voted for her in the 2020 primary. I believe she is a very capable, intelligent human being who this country would be lucky to have as its first female president.

Me too.

Did anyone mention that she also sent white & brown people to jail as well.

Expand full comment

No, this was propaganda to the Black community.

This is just an example of what will happen if our capable incumbent steps down. Whoever becomes the Democratic candidate will be found to be deficient by lying about whatever they can. It’s a no win situation. May as well keep the best man for the job who can win. We know what they’ll lie about President Biden. By November these lies will only be believed by MAGATS and TFG will lose again. Biden will win.

It's okay if Biden can't serve his entire term, we are confident in the Vice President

The only way to deal with a bully is to walk up to them, punch them in the face hard enough to break their nose, knock out a few teeth and send them to the ground bleeding. When they hit, hit them back harder!

Expand full comment

If you get them first, they won't hit you. They get the message, at least with regard to you.

Agreed. If only those we sent to represent us would have proactively deployed after Jan 6th, we would not be in the mess we find ourselves.

I am frustrated that Biden kept Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland on in spite of their weakness, and I am nervous he and his admin will not bring the insurrectionists in power to justice. But I am 100% sure Kamala Harris knows how to respond to racism and sexism. And I highly recommend watching Howard Stern’s interview of Biden from about a month ago. He shares a story much like your first post. The interview is also more evidence that his health is fine.

I found an interview dated May 3, 2024, is this the one you are referring to?

Expand full comment

Sounds right. It’s about an hour long

TC, I just finished the interview, many thanks for bringing it to all of our attention. I'm better for having seen it than when I woke up this morning.

Thanks TC, I concur with you vis-á-vis Harris.

I believe that 90% of the bullshit about Biden's age and fitness is being driven by racism by the right...and by the corporate media. They will be really and truly fucked when Kamala is a very successful first woman and first woman of color president.

I for one will enjoy watching the MAGA meltdown if she becomes president. She will take none of their shit.

One does not want to wish away days of one’s life but the daily news between now and the election in November will be hard to bear. Especially for us who have lived in Fascist states, believe me, it isterrible

You have my sympathy. I used to live in the Christo-fascist part of Colorado. What a terrible thing to do to a beautiful state.

Expand full comment

One has to hope that the republicans don't keep the House, because if they do and Harris becomes president, they would immediately gin up a reason to impeach her, even though it would be totally without basis.

Look to elections in France and the UK for the fate of this Republican Congress

I really hope you are right. I don't count on anything sane any more.

VOTE BLUE. IGNORE THE FASCIST PRESS

Expand full comment

Diversity is our strength as a nation. As a white woman, I have never felt discrimination because of skin color, I’ve only felt discrimination as a woman. There is absolutely no excuse to say that white people suffer from racism, it is exactly the opposite. Whites discriminate against anyone who isn’t just like them. Straight white men have held power for much too long. It is time for women and POC to share in that power.

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is herself a DEI hire. She was brought into the Republican Party when they realized they didn't have enough morons in their caucus.
