"Sandpoint-based Flee The City is a consortium of four businesses which specialize in selling property to conservatives in northern Idaho and western Montana. The company calls itself “a real estate firm for the vigilant.”

Flee the City has partnered with a company that provides “sustainable homes design with integrated ballistic and defensive capabilities.”
This charming 4-bedroom retreat, located on 10 acres of pristine Idaho woodland, is perfect for holiday gatherings, horseback riding, and holding off a multi-agency law enforcement siege while you murder-suicide your family.

I do so wish I could laugh in her face like I laugh every time she opens her stupid mouth and makes obvious bogus claims like these. The problem with stupid people is they think everyone else is just as stupid.
The House of Representative just voted to remove "most favored nation" trade status for Russia, which means higher import duties for any company still doing business with them. The vote was like 424 to 8. Marge, Boebert, and Gaetz were three of the eight, in effect saying they want trade with Russia to keep going. Koch industries is also not pulling out of Russia when almost everyone else is. Makes you wonder, don't it?

Not really - we know they are traitors.... just not by the strictest of legal terms.

Also, Geatz is trailing his main dem opponent in the polls right now.

Can we -please- ship all these assholes to Russia? Exile is a time honoured tradition.

I agree with exile, just not forcing them (the assholes) on the decent people of Russia. There are good people in every corner of the world that shouldn't be made to suffer.

The hard part is finding a place to exile them to where they won't have any influence on anyone else. Completely cut off from the rest of humanity. It's a shame the Repugs cut NASA's budget way back when (60s and 70s) or we could exile them completely off the planet by now. Maybe that's just what they were trying to accomplish with the budget cuts back then. :unsure:

Nah. I don't do conspiracy theories. 🤭

Point - on the other hand, if they cease to be useful, I'm sure a polonium diet would do them good >.>

I'm going to tell you exactly the same thing my mother told me in exactly the same way.

"You are bad... 🤭"

So, funny thing... it'd be a punishment for them, but it wouldn't make a difference.

Case in point, my mom's priest comes from fairly old money - so, since he also takes care of his parents, he was given a parish to teach him humility.

He's been there for decades now - mostly he just doesn't do his job properly. He barely does anything for his parish unless for the ultra conservative, women have to cover their hair, internet is bad types [and I doubt that].

He does preach politics from the pulpit too. I try to weasel out of going to church with my mom when visiting because I legit want to punch the man. [I almost always succeed - I think because I think I might have said how much I want to punch him]

In other words, it'd be a good punishment, though not fair to the patients, but it won't teach any lessons.

Can confirm. As a former right wing libertarian I know A LOT of people in those groups don't really believe in democracy at all. To them the rightful functions of government (if any) are absolute facts, with no voting required.

100% right, although if I had a criticism it would be that the last five or six paragraphs are kind of obviously just paraphrasing the same exact idea over and over - I dunno why, to pad the length maybe?

But yeah, most Trumpers don't actually believe Biden's win was fraudulent, they just believe it was "wrong". They aggressively promote voting-fraud theories really just because not all of them are as comfortable or willing as Glenn Ellmers to admit that they have an ideological problem with democracy, and "election fraud" relieves them of their cognitive dissonance.

OH GOD YES. That is my number one complaint with most news articles; 2 paragraphs of content stretched out over 3-10 pages, sometimes more. Many waste a few paragraphs "setting the scene" then repeat the same information in multiple different LONG winded ways. I really value concise, compact documentation.

...related... I've had to read a few books for work on "leadership" type topics... they are even worse at this... Most non fiction books could have been a pamphlet..
