Thank you for this clear explanation. Not living in Colorado (PA), but sincerely appreciate how utterly unlike your opponent you are. Measured and reasonable is refreshing from CO-03.

My biggest disappointment is that I truly thought better of the majority of republicans - in office and out. Thought they were smarter, braver, more empathetic and more honorableโฆkept thinking theyโd snap out of it. Turns out Iโm just really naive. ๐ฉ

This was such a good question. I scanned through most (not all) of the replies searching for a serious tweet stating something - anything - that is (in relatively recent history) a positive contribution by the Republican party. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. ๐

Are you saying DeSantis sent a videographer to capture the stunned/sad/bewildered/scared/exhausted expressions on the faces of his human pawns - as they exited the plane? For what? Kicks?

Ukraine is at war with Russia. They need guns. That much is true.
However, NO one is saying that NO Americans can own a gun. That said, the majority of Americans (67% Politico/Morning Consult poll) approve banning assault style weapons.
Quit trying to enrage.
@chrislhayes
I donโt believe a word Ron DeSantis says. During the height of covid, stepdaughterโs (nurse) FLA hospital had oxygen set ups and air mattresses in the hallway - NO ROOMS LEFT, while Ron grifted off selling anti-Fauci merchandise. I always assume Ron is lying.

Iโm in PA, FWIW. I understand that people may find this disrespectful, but a bunch of suit wearing GOP members blatantly repeat The Big Lie to their constituents and back a man liable for sexual abuse. A decent suit is nice. A decent human is so much better.

No offense meant to you, but I hope this isnโt true.
On the flip side, given her recent disgraceful public outing, maybe Boebert should lay low (no pun intended) for a bit. Iโm hoping another relative was there and just not recognized. Kids deserve better.

I had an uncle who always left $1, no matter what he and his wife had. RUDE. At family gatherings at restaurants, one sibling would invariably *remember* they needed to use the RR, go back and leave extra. We adored our aunt. They finally divorced.
