At least her cat fights with MTG are always a good reminder of how much of a cesspool the Republican Party really is.
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has won the Republican primary in a U.S. House race that she jumped into last year after switching districts.

Guns are the tool used for people to kill people. It's a lot harder to drive a screw in without a screwdriver.
They have done a bunch to keep athletes cool without AC.

I'm going to take this as sarcasm. If it's not, I'd recommend you see a doctor asap.
If you compare the US with countries with very strict gun laws, e.g. Europe, you'll probably find that the difference between their low gun violence rate and the high gun violence rate in the US is related to the easy access to weapons in the US.
It's also related to the general inequality in the US compared to Europe, especially economic. It created a lot of desperation in the US. But half the country is also not willing to do anything about that, because that's "socialism" or whatever. And round and round we go.
The U.S. surgeon general is declaring gun violence a public health crisis, driven by a growing number of injuries and deaths involving firearms in the country. Dr.

Just another Tuesday in Republican world.
Many of these criminals used to be a "good guy with a gun" until, one day, it snapped.
There's a reason why the US stands out of gun violence, and it's the easy access to weapons.
I do know quite a few nice evangelicals who try to be counterweights to the crazy. But the evangelical culture definitely does produce lots of bigots, unfortunately.
There's a long way down from that high horse.
Emails from 2005 released by Cindy Clemishire show how megachurch pastor Robert Morris responded after she asked for “restitution” for sex abuse she says began when she was 12.

Donald Trump is set to speak to a group of politically influential evangelicals who fiercely support him but would like to see the Republican presidential candidate promise to do more to restrict abortion.

They just want to force their religion of others through politics. There's nothing worse than the mixing of politics and religion.
If anything, they'll confirm that this is now a national requirement.

Not feeling positive about that, but I still choose a positive outlook on life. You should, too.
I definitely try to anticipate future issues as well as I can, but I'm doing it from a place of positivity, not negativity. Negativity is what's causing many of the problems be face. Positivity searches for solutions to those problems.
No evidence. I just choose to live with a positive world view and not like every day is doom. I face problems head-on when they appear and I don't collect sorrows in advance. But you do you. I know my approach is hard for most people.
Yeah, I'm not going to live my life like that.
That's very pessimistic.
I have a stable job, pension, matching 401k, no kids, no debt (paid off my car and student loans), make 6 figures, and I am STILL convinced that I will never be able to retire.
If this is your reality, there's more wrong with your expectations than your situation.
This guy doesn't say a word for decades. Now he can't stop being an ass.
Now do Trump
There's some serious Trump amnesia going on.
Donald Trump will make a virtual appearance before a Christian group that calls for abortion to be “eradicated entirely,” as the Republican front-runner has repeatedly taken credit for the overturning of national abortion rights but said he wants to leave the issue to the states.

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance for startups? If you've been in the same situation, what did you end up doing?
