Good spot against QAnon Boebert in the third district: https://youtu.be/pFBUlVjuqHc
This is an important issue.
A scofflaw who decides to become a law maker isn't a new thing. But a lawmaker who wants to "Take Colorado Back" to a time of fewer and less effective laws, is spooky, for sure.
Ms. Boebert isn't able to articulate why she supports anarchy…just that she does. That is troublesome.
Two reasons she wants to go to Washington. She wants to remove laws, not make them…
and…of course…government cheese.
Can't we just offer her some free cheese if she will just go away?
I think a lot of laws should be removed.
Well, I might agree with you … a variety of tax laws, like the law that exempts carried interest from taxation. The portion of the law which allows companies to provide corporate perks like housing, cars and meals without counting that as part of an executive's compensation subject to taxation. And I'm really opposed to those laws that are TRAPs. Federal law on marijuana possession and use seems pretty pointless. A fair amount of laws which provide exceptions to open records. The laws that leave allow an override of environmental protection laws.
A Theory About Conspiracy Theories

Trump walked into the GOP
Like he was walking onto a yacht.
His combover dipped below one eye.
And way way too long was his tie.
He had one eye in the mirror
And grabbing every pussy he could find.
And all the girls screamed that they’d be his partner
And he’d try to rape them, he’d try to rape them.
Trump’s so vain.
He probably thinks this song is about him.
Trump’s so vain, Trump’s so vain.
America is better without him.
Oh God yes. Oh God yes.
*
He fooled us just four years ago
When he lost by three million votes.
But he somehow seized power anyway
And soon had America on the ropes.
He gave away the things we love
Like health care and clean air
We had some dreams, they were clouds in our coffee
Then Trump peed in our coffee, he peed in our coffee.
Trump’s so vain
He probably thinks this song is about him.
Trump’s so vain, he’s insane.
America’s much better without him
Oh God yes, oh God yes!

We heard Trump went to Sarasota
And his horse naturally won.
It turned out that old Billy Barr
Doped all the other horses
Doped all the other horses.
And then he flew on Air Force One
To see a total eclipse of the sun.
He flew back to Mar a Lago
Where he shot 18 holes-in-one.
He swears that it happened
Barr swears that it happened.
Trump’s so vain, he probably thinks this song is about him.
Trump’s so vain, he’s insane.
The whole world is much better without him,
Oh God yes, oh God yes.
Carly Simon, eat your heart out!
I’ve been tinkering with Walk on the Wild Side. I never saw the unexpurgated lyrics until I googled them, for obvious reasons.
Quite a complex song, both thematically and musically. It will be hard to do it justice.
"Walk on the Wild Side……." How will you handle the line: "trimmed his eyebrows and then he was a she. Hey babe. Take a walk on the wild side?"
Maybe you could work in Eric Trump "coming out" as gay, by mistake, and then having to back track.
he was a she is the easy part banger. I never came to the giving head thing until I looked upmthe lyrics, radio censors being what they are. Apparently the unexpurgated version often aired in England where “giving head” is not a synonym for fellatio.
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”
Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom, she was everybody’s darlin’
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin’ head
She says, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
Said, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
And the colored girls go
Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do, do
I don't imagine that women of color go, "Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do" as Trump takes a walk on the wild side.
Well, what’s worse in that the 1972 lyric “colored girls” has 4 counts. Kuh-lurd grr-lls
But the 2020 pc term “women of color”
Has five Wim un of kuh lure.
It wrecks the rhyme scheme.
Just change it to “everybody goes”….
Dylan is tough to parody. I started working on “Don’t Vote Twice , it’s alright” a while back.
Just for me, today is International Day of Older Persons.
But are there any persons older than you and me, dave?
Few 🤣🤣🤣
Voyageur and Dave Barnes both look decades younger than they are on Pols. Good show gents !
I can't speak for Barnes but for V the only plausible explanation for his eternal youth is the fresh air and clean water in Phillips County!
At least one! Happy 96th to James Earl Carter, who remains the only presidential candidate for whom I've voted enthusiastically in a general election.

It really does take a Republican with self-respect and honor to put Trump and his supporters in the proper perspective.
Just to be clear — there no both-siderism involved here.
Oo. Karma, you sweet bitch, you. Donald J Trump and Melania Trump will quarantine after Hope Hicks tested positive. Per New York Times.
And Wisconsin goes…. “ Super- now will you cancel your bloody big superspreader rallies so our hospitals won’t be completely overwhelmed?
The Trumps having COVID-19 is entirely plausible seeing as how they've been wholly ignoring even the most basic health and safety protocols for months.
On the other hand, given the prolonged explosive diarrhea attack that passed for a "debate" the other night, it would not be at all surprising to find that this is a fraud generated to get fat boy some time off. He may be back from "quarantine" in a few days talking about how he's all better, COVID-19 is nothing, took some hydroxybonercream and it cleared right up, I am and will remain the strongest president in U.S. history, etc.
If he really does have it, I fear for Biden. Fat boy spent 90 minutes the other night launching spittle in all directions.
It’s official. Trump and Melania have both tested positive for the virus.
Christ on a pogo stick, what a crazy end game.
I just came to see if anyone had posted this yet. It’s so sad that they’re sick. But it’ll be okay. It’s no worse than your strenuous flu.
I wish our President all the kindness and care he showed for migrant families at the border, all of the mercy and justice he showed the Central Park Five, all of the professionalism and bipartisanship he demonstrated to his entire (uncorrupted) national security team, Hillary Clinton, and journalist Ali Velshi.
I wish him all of the respect and humanity he showed to the twenty eight women who have accused him of various forms of sexual assault.
I give him all the compassion and concern for health he demonstrated for the 200,000 Americans dead from Covid19, and for public health in general.
.
And I hope that it is indeed an end game.
