While Idaho's governor was away, the state's lieutenant governor — a political rival — tried to deploy the National Guard to the border

Charles Davis 6 hours ago

The head of Idaho's National Guard has rejected a request from the state's lieutenant governor to deploy to the US-Mexico border, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin sought to activate the state's militia while Idaho Gov. Brad Little was out of state touring the border himself, a move he denounced as "political grandstanding." The two are expected to compete for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2022.

"Before I even left the state, the Lt. Governor unabashedly requested information from the Adjutant General to deploy our National Guard to the border," Little said in a statement Tuesday night. He called the move an "affront to the Idaho constitution."

In July, Little himself sent five Idaho state troopers to the US-Mexico border to assist with illegal drug interdiction. He is currently in Texas with other Republican governors who have sought to blame the Biden administration for an increase in migrants seeking asylum.

[Chicago1980]

1. She looks like a Q-tard.

[littlemissmartypants]

4. Or a strip-o-gram or an aspiring porn star. But only republican porn, of course.

[3Hotdogs]

8. Yeah, if I was a Republican, I'd be walking around

with a woody all day.... that "Come here, big boy" look.

When I was a kid, I would'a paid 50 cents to get into the "Little Theater" on Broad Street in Newark to see the movie if she was it.

Or $2.00 if she was on the bill with Tempest Storm at Empire Burlesque.... Empire burlesque had pictures of the featured performers in the entertainment section of the Newark Evening News. I don't know how many times that page found its way into the bathro.... aw. forget it.

[OldBaldy1701E]

6. She looks like

An idiot. Someone who has lied and cheated to get everything she wanted. However, she cannot 'work' her way into the Governor's chair, so she will be trying anything she can to get in it. Including this stunt, where she gets to scream about her rival not being 'tough enough' on non-pasty white people with no bank accounts. This is the modern rethug party. Far more interested in pulling some Hollywood-style photo op or headline grabber than... you know... being an elected representative of her people. One has to marvel at the depths that these rethugs will stoop to just to get some headline time. I'd laugh if, at this point, it wasn't so disgusting.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. She's a bottle blond. Here's another photo:

As phony as her politics.

BOISE, IDAHO
Idaho Gov. Brad Little said he will rescind an executive order involving COVID-19 vaccines by Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin, and the commanding general of the Idaho National Guard also on Tuesday told McGeachin she can’t activate troops to send to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Little and Major General Michael J. Garshak made the statements as McGeachin on Tuesday in a flurry of activity attempted to exercise her authority as acting governor with Little out of the state.

Little is in Texas meeting with nine other Republican governors over concerns on how President Joe Biden is handling border issues. McGeachin, a far-right Republican, is running for governor. In Idaho, the governor and lieutenant governor don't run on the same ticket.

McGeachin's executive order issued Tuesday afternoon seeks, among other things, to prevent employers from requiring their employees be vaccinated against COVID-19. Most mainstream Republicans prefer to stay out of the employee-employer relationship.

5. That TRUMP belt, lol.

No class at all……

[tanyev]

12. I think the Trump campaign missed a real money-making opportunity

by not offering a large triangular belt that positioned Trump's name right over the "grab" area.

[PatSeg]

14. Yeah, that is priceless

It truly is a cult and a very tasteless cult at that.

[NurseJackie]

7. Ain't she a honey?

Honestly, she looks cheap and trashy.

She has that typical "Real Housewives" appearance... plumped, tucked, nipped, stretched, botoxed, bleached, plucked, lasered, snipped, buffed, painted, lifted, injected, siliconed, capped, plastic, filled, tightened, and lipo'd. Hair, eyelashes, fingernails... head-to-toe... she's a complete PHONY and FRAUD in every sense of the word.

Does ANYONE think that this is attractive? (I mean... OTHER than the folks who are saving-up for one of the "lifelike" silicone sex dolls at realdoll dot com.) NSFW. You've been warned.

[multigraincracker]

10. Looks like she might

sell time-share property on the side.

[NurseJackie]

11. Yep. That's a good description. (It seems to be a common "look" for GOP women of a certain age.)

She'd fit-in well on Fox or OAN or Newsmax (or as a televangelist).

[TheRickles]

13. Surely her necklace is made out of genuine something-or-other.

[PatSeg]

15. "Genuine something-or-other"!!!

Yeah, 24k plastic! Does she actually look in the mirror before she leaves the house?

[TheRickles]

19. As Andy Warhol said, "That's not fake anything. It's real plastic."

I had to look it up - I thought that quote was from the Firesign Theater.

[PatSeg]

23. Ha, ha, just like her!

[maxrandb]

24. That paragraph describes Donnie Dipshit to a tee...but I would add

with a shaved Golden Retrievers ass on his head.

[3Hotdogs]

9. I bet she is elected governor.

[sagetea]

21. Maybe,

however Ammon Bundy is too. She thinks women who get abortions should get the death penalty.

[Danascot]

16. Apparently his state is A-OK

so he's free to travel to other states and give them the benefit of his wisdom.

No, that's not right. Idaho has a vaccination rate of 40% and their hospitals are overflowing into Washington state.

Idaho's citizens must demand that the state vegetable be smarter than their politicians.

[NBachers]

17. Well that was a cunning stunt, wasn't it?

[Marthe48]

20. Will this kind of usurpation among members of the same party

make the voters stop their headlong rush to elect idiots? The same kind of monkeywrench is occurring in SD.

I doubt if the voters will give a damn, and we'll keep getting people who not only don't represent the majority of Americans, but also lack leadership skills and knowledge of the rule of law.

[jeffreyi]

22. Brad needs to fix his bridle.

[maxrandb]

25. Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown...err...I mean Idaho

[maxrandb]

26. If Idaho is not embarrassed that these are the #1 and 2 leaders of their state

They've not only crashed through the Looking Glass, they are using the broken shards to slit their wrists.

JFC - Mel Brooks would say this is a parody that goes too far beyond believable.

[BlueIdaho]

27. This crazy bitch

Is only marginally worse than our Do-Little Governor who still refuses to order an ounce of prevention (masks) to quell the firestorm of covid filling our hospitals and killing our citizens.

She is a card carrying Big Lie following QTard. The only person worse than her with political ambition is Aamond Bundy - who will compete with her in a quest for the governors office.

Our beautiful state is now full of fascists.

On Wednesday, he repealed Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s executive order, which sought to ban any required COVID-19 vaccines and testing in schools. Sarah A. Miller [e-mail] Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Wednesday fulfilled his promise to repeal Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s executive order — but did so hours before expected, while he was still in Texas. And Little seemed to challenge the legal presumption that he must surrender power when he’s out of state. In a new executive order, Little said that the lieutenant governor’s actions Tuesday “were without legal authority” and that his presence in Texas on official business doesn’t “impair my ability to represent the people of Idaho.” He said this action was “to ensure the continuity of state government.”
