my two cents worth is that the republicans flood the airwaves with nonsense stories and fake manufactured rage because we're really fighting a war of attention. If they can capture a few minutes with a dumbass story like this one, that's a few minutes that won't be spent covering something worthwhile, like what Build Back Better does for people.

We only have so much time and the name of the game is to draw attention FROM the good stuff the Dems do for the American people.

Doesn't matter if it's stupid. They don't care about appearing stupid.

It’s a risk I take by reading the Latest Threads page in reverse chronological order. By the time I see some stuff, it’s been repeated so often that later posters assume everyone is intimately familiar with a reference that makes no sense to someone seeing it for the first time.

BTW, I still know what ‘tan suit’ means, but still don’t understand how marijuana ties into it.

I believe around $375. Sounds high, but having associations with the culinary field, I can tell you that quality pots like this can easily run that amount.

VP Harris bought this pot, probably prior to TG, as we all know she likes to cook. RW decided it was a good subject for fake outrage.

I know the story and the ‘tan suit’ reference is certainly apt. Yesterday I commented that Main Street merchants must be so pleased to see GQP pinheads trying to shame people buying Christmas presents.

I saw ‘pot’ and assumed it was a reference to cannabis - not a cooking vessel.
