Boebert is really out of her league.


Raskin to Boebert: Democrat is the noun. When you use it as an adjective, you say Democratic.. As if every time we mentioned the other party it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment like, oh, the Banana Republican Party.

1. It slays me that states that appreciate sending the best of the best, the most qualified

and don't mock intellectualism, send people like Raskin-- who have to serve with raging idiots elected in states that are happy to send the opposite. Like being the only sane person in an insane asylum.

Bless you, Rep. Raskin.

2. Ugh, Republicans are so bad at humor

Most of it seems to follow two basic formulas: "My pronouns are {word or phrase that isn't a pronoun}," and "I identify as a(n) {inanimate object}." It's like Mad Libs, but for dipshits.

4. John Thune, this morning on the floor of the senate I heard him say democrat senator

I don’t understand why they wanna sound so damn ignorant. I mean it’s getting old by now isn’t it

5. LOL!!

Like the Wellman tweet as well. Raskin is a major+ in the House holding Republican feet to the fire, even as he battles cancer.

Poor Boebert. She's completely outclassed and outwitted.

7. Being self-aggrandizing here ("self-empowering"? ) - never saw the grammar angle until I used/coined

it. I have posted many times how the -CRAT meme originated with a-hole Frank LUNTZ's pseudo-scientific focus groups and how he developed talking points words with good and bad connotations for the GINGRICH zombies to use, "DemoCRAT (party)" being one BAD one. Posted that for years.

It wasn't until a couple or three years ago that I hit upon the Grammar angle, saying that one legitimate factor was that -CRAT grated on the ears partly because "wrong" grammar has that effect. I doubt that anybody, including high profile Dems, would glean insights from lowly me on an internet board.

*** While we're at it, I'll also claim that the DU-ism of "K&R" originated with me, from watching threads SINK without a Kick while being Recced.

8. Best part at end after saying "Banana Republican Party" 3 times he said, but we wouldn't do that!

Hahahaha, how to play their game.
