Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and another person were tossed from a Colorado theater for interrupting a theatrical version of Beetlejuice with loud and rude behavior. Her spokesman said she was an enthusiastic supporter of the arts. How's that for spin?

Should Biden use Polonium to deal with opponents, like Putin?

[BeBMan]

Or rather Novichock?

[PLATO]

Berz mode: Too general...he will use a specific poison targeted to Putin's DNA that was developed by the CIA in a secret Ukrainian Bioweapons lab.

[N35t0r]

We might get a new poison, but unfortunately it might be too late to pinpoint:

Putin must be really afraid of the folks at Meduza. Maybe it's because they revealed that he armed the Nazis.

Whistle blower claims CIA paid 6 covid analysts to change their assessment of covid's origin from a lab leak to zoonotic crossover

If radioactive mats or chemical weapons or not easily available, maybe Biden should rather go for Putin's more classic approaches?

MSNBC calls NYC mayor Eric Adams the black Trump for complaining about the impact of immigrants

NYC is a sanctuary city

virtue signaling is easy when the shirt aint coming off your back

4:30 in Ana Navarro of The View says the immigrants need to be resettled elsewhere

One of the gals mentioned a bunch of them (majority?) came from Venezuela, a country under merciless US sanctions (ty Trump)

[N35t0r]

Most of the sanctions on Venezuela are on individuals, not on the country itself. Without sanctions, they would still be there. How many venezuelan immigrants so you know, Berz? Because there's several here working at the same company as me, and it was really full of Venezuelan immigrants back in Argentina (a lot have been leaving for other places, even though Argentina is not under sanctions, some even back to Venezuela).

It also doesn't surprise me that a republican is a xenophobe racist.

[PLATO]

Not all Republicans are xenophobe racists.

At some point, you are what you vote for.

Here is presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom trying not to explain why he exempted movies from lockdowns but not nearby restaurants etc. When asked by Chuck Todd what he would have done differently about covid policy he said 'everything' (9 min in). Now I'm sure he didn't literally mean everything he did was wrong, but thats gonna be a helluva campaign slogan

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and another person were tossed from a Colorado theater for interrupting a theatrical version of Beetlejuice with loud and rude behavior. Her spokesman said she was an enthusiastic supporter of the arts. How's that for spin?

and she's dating the co-owner of an Aspen bar that hosts drag shows

[Berzerker]

they got video of her from a ceiling camera as she was escorted from the theater

she's seen pulling her dress up to cover her...nice rack wow

[PLATO]

Election is less than 14 months now. Clearly Democrats have work to do:

[BeBMan]

Let's hope Biden doesn't start to shoot down private jets to stay in power

[Berzerker]

How does Trump do against other Dems? I'll be surprised if Biden runs again, even if his dementia doesn't worsen the family corruption is coming home to roost.

[PLATO]

The only other poll data I see on RealClearPolitics is Trump vs. Harris.

[BeBMan]

I read Mitt Romney wants both Biden and Trump to quit the race? Surely he's planning for a Mormon takeover, even if he's denying it

(I actually don't know if he's denying it indeed. If he is, it's alarming, but if he isn't things could be even worse!)
