When reporters have these conversations, do they ever ask: so how does the president control the price of groceries? Or: would you be ok having a dictator if eggs were 50 percent cheaper? 🤷🏻♀️
This sure looks like Republicans saying “the border is such an urgent crisis that … we are going to ensure nothing is done about it for 12 months, while we campaign on the complaint that nothing is being done”
Former GOP Rep. @AdamKinzinger told CBS News that if the choice comes down to Biden or Trump in 2024, he'd vote for Biden:
"I don't even have to hesitate. Do I agree with everything Joe Biden's doing? No, of course not. He's a Democrat. I'm an old-school Republican, I'll say. But I believe he's a good man, and I believe he's focused on the Constitution. I believe he's not looking for reasons to violate the Constitution like Donald Trump is. I wouldn't hesitate at all."
Kinzinger also said he still considers himself a Republican:
"The only reason I'm not giving up the title is I refuse to let the anti-constitutionalist side win. Every democracy in my mind needs a liberal or a progressive movement and a conservative movement because that tug and pull – that push and pull - is what actually makes a country advance at the right speed – not always perfectly. I'll continue to fight for the GOP, but that doesn't mean I'm voting GOP. I'm not because they're an anti-constitutionalist party at the moment."
@di4321889@WasatchSnow@Levelninesports They’re adjustable, but the binding stays the same. We can get 2-4 years out of them, and middle of the season growth spurts are NBD.
@pcskigal@WasatchSnow@Levelninesports We just bought my 12 year old the biggest size (and her third pair). The younger two also use them. They’re the best.
"Silently, I passed the letter to my wife. She scanned it without expression. Then she flung the piece of paper into the air and, with a shriek that made the church ladies jump out of their cardigans, cried out: What the hell is wrong with these people?"

UPDATE: Gov. Cox is currently out of the country and needs to physically sign the bill. Timeline is unsure of when he'll ink it but it'll be sometime soon.
That means THERE IS STILL TIME to switch your party affiliation. Your deadline is when Cox signs the bill.
Say. His. Name.
“Without mentioning Trump’s name, Kemp pinned blame on the former president’s election loss grievances and warned that ‘not a single swing voter’ will vote for a GOP nominee making such claims, calling 2020 ‘ancient history.’”

I’d like to speak to Evangelicals.
If you are like me, you’ve spent most of your life being told that you have to vote Republican to be a good Christian.
I understand if your convictions prevent you from voting for a Democrat. But let me suggest something: 1/10
There’s a heck of a lot of productive space between “ban guns” and “do nothing.” Our elected officials continue to do our kids and our communities a grave disservice pretending those are the only options.
