A guy I went to high school with spent a year overseas as an exchange student. While away he wrote a letter to our school newspaper and asked all his friends to write him. At football practice, our coach commented that it was a shame he wouldn’t get any letters. Some people go through life without realizing that they’re a jackass. Years later I met the same fellow and we had a great conversation. At some point, he learned humility.
His story comes to mind after the old-guard Idaho Republicans took another spanking at the state party convention. Even after the results of the May Primary, I kept reading commentaries online and in what’s left of old-guard newspapers explaining that GOP Chairwoman Dorothy Moon and her allies were going to get their comeuppance. It didn’t happen. It wasn’t even close.
Three possible outcomes are ahead. First, the people who would like to continue in office wet an index finger and then put it in the air. Second, they’ll claim there was a fix, but even if the Bingham County delegation had voted it wouldn’t have changed the winners and losers. If the Bingham GOP hadn’t squandered its dues money on a losing lawsuit, the group could have voted. The members made their choice. Third, a lot of the disgruntled losers will walk away from politics, or as they did in the last election for state Attorney General, they’ll vote for Democrats, which tells us what we’ve known all along. They’re Republicans in name only.
Leadership is standing up against a COVID regime, which Moon and her allies did. Leadership is standing up against the Governor’s Launch Program. It’s a wealth transfer gussied up as a scholarship program. Your tax dollars get funneled to the Governor’s campaign bankers.

It would have been nice had the author included a background paragraph, or two, explaining what this story is about.
I like the story in the link. Basically MAGA got control of the GOP and knew that the only purpose of the media, at that point, was to find ways to attack them. So they simply SHUT THEM OUT. For once, at least some Republicans are starting to understand the media, although, ideally, they’d distinguish between ‘mainstream media’ and friendly media, and then only allow friendly media to directly attend meetings.
“Whupping” would make more sense.
BEWARE!!!!
The same thing happened here in michiganstan...
The bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts took such a beating, they lost the chairmanship of the board and all of there people were cast out into the night.
The money people in the party took their money and walked out.
Literally.
They sued.
And they WON..
They cast us out using the courts...
Be very careful and prepare..
pingify to joe’s post upthread

Great news in Idaho...
As long as Garlin Gilchrist is in Michigan politics the state will bleed out.It is the next CA,NY, IL then the rich liberals will swoop in and grab lakefront property.
Yeah, “whooping” is celebratory.
I don’t there’s a “g” in “whuppin”.
You’re right. Here in the South, if you dare put a “g” onto “whuppin” you might get your as* whupped.
The RINOs have/are allowing “greater Boise” to be destroyed with overdevelopment and liberal invaders.
Obviously, if you’re a guy that builds fences, electrician, plumber, etc you may like it as you have a bunch of folks moving in that can’t change a light bulb.
Feel free to correct me if I’m off a bit...California has a law, via referendum, that an owners property taxes are frozen while maintaining residency in that particular home. You get crushed if you sell and move someplace else.
If my take on that is correct, the MAGA members of Idaho should adopt a similar law to protect the people that have been living in Boise their whole lives and not get financially forced out by liberals invading the place and driving up property values.
It’d be great if that did that, here in Georgia and everywhere, but the political machine at every level is too corrupt and greedy to give a flying f**k.
