Have you seen her workout? She or Lauren Boebert would be formidable opponents for any man in Congress.

Pretty sure those e-mails have to be preserved for posterity. Someone might get a laugh out of it in a hundred years, too.

And let's talk about this author for a second. NIALL STANAGE.

Setting aside the fact that this mick with a face like a bag of hammers is blissfully unaware that Quincy Jones was definitive about eire down-lows like Stanage:

"Is Hollywood as bad with race as the rest of the country? I know that when you started scoring films, you’d hear producers say things like they didn’t want a “bluesy” score, which was clearly code-speak. Are you still encountering that kind of racism?

It’s still fucked up. 1964, when I was in Vegas, there were places I wasn’t supposed to go because I was black, but Frank [Sinatra] fixed that for me. It takes individual efforts like that to change things. It takes white people to say to other white people, “Do you really want to live as a racist? Is that really what you believe?” But every place is different. When I go to Dublin, Bono makes me stay at his castle because Ireland is so racist."

BTW, those of you that see me on the music threads .. follow that link, that is one of Quincy's best interviews ever.

Three guesses who this kneepadder is referring to, and it wasn't the Trumps...

For years after Brooks' admirers showered him with canes to replace the one broken over the Abolitionist's head.

Brooks died seven months after the attack on Sumner so he couldn't accept most of them.

"Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University, condemned the media tendency to portray both parties as equally culpable for the current poisonous political tone.

Polarization “has gotten much worse, and if there was one phrase I would eliminate from the English language, it is ‘both sides,’” Lichtman, a longtime Trump critic who 15 years ago sought a Democratic Senate nomination in Maryland, said. “It is not both sides. It is coming overwhelmingly from one side, and that one side is the Donald Trump Republicans.”

Maybe Niall met Lichtman for "lunch" LOFL. It's fairly certain that Lichtman is in Niall's Rolloverdex.

Lichtman is one of those nobodies with an extensive Wikipedia entry that you figure he started and people who aren't his friends finished:

Nobody shouts into a mailbox.

Probably the mail slot. The author isn't an American and may not know the lingo that well.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her staff should all start wearing Go-Pros. There is nothing quite like video to show AOCs paranoid delusions in full effect.

And if their delusions reach the point where they violently lash out, all the better.

The preposterous commission on the Jan.6 demonstration is a way to keep the lies alive. Now this BS about “feeling” unsafe. AOC and Pelosi’s chair are now totally safe.

There is absolutely no danger from the Right. But the Left has BLM and Antifa along with average urban blacks who can set off deadly violence a any given moment.

The Antifa and BLM ARE TERRORISTS. Liars know it’s true.

They are working on a large scale attack plan against anyone who is a Trump supporter or a plain old patriot. They have to set up “they had it coming-—we all knew they were dangerous and had to be killed” first.

Dirty scum.

Are these assclowns required to supply their own pearls or do tax payers pick up the tab for those as well?

Yes. Exactly. There are 2 or 3 very good eyeglass video cams, exponentially improved on Google Glass. Nick Dyer needs to get a pair of Zetronix or OhO stat.

If conservatives would understand that recording everything is the key to destroying so many MSM Narratives. Predict that it will be the standard in five years.

In other news: I'm getting a new puppy to raise and train in a week or so. Female, American English Coonhound. Excited!

I hope she's THIS pretty, but she'll become part of the pack, no matter what. ;)

Oh, and by the way, Maxine Waters left the convent to become a politician. She has such a sweet personality, maybe MTG should follow her exemplary life.

The only thing that has changed in Washington, with respect to incivility, is some Republicans are finally pushing back and not taking it in the chin. Democrats have been nasty for years.
