Yes that is worrisome that people approve.  And like we saw with Trump, colleagues that won't call her out.

This is why we must be very serious about the threat to our republic that this level of complicity represents.

Michigan school shooting prosecutor suggests she will charge parents

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/oxford-school-shooting-suspect-parents/2021/12/01/9bc30a2c-52e3-11ec-8ad5-b5c50c1fb4d9_story.html

Quote

The prosecutor overseeing the investigation into a mass killing at a Michigan high school this week strongly suggested Wednesday that she would charge the teenage suspect’s parents, an unusual move but one that gun control advocates say is essential to combating the nation’s scourge of shootings by minors.

I am hoping that this prosecution is successful and sets a precedent.

Government nears possible shutdown as Republicans take aim at vaccination and testing mandates

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/12/01/government-shutdown-coronavirus-vaccine/

Congressional republicans like Ron Johnson seem intent to prove that their party is no longer interested in or capable of governing for We the People.  

Quote

The U.S. government on Wednesday moved one step closer to a potential shutdown, as some Republicans seized on a fast-approaching fiscal deadline to mount fresh opposition to President Biden’s coronavirus vaccine and testing mandates.
The emerging conservative campaign quickly divided GOP lawmakers, enraged congressional Democrats and threatened to unravel days of delicate bipartisan talks on Capitol Hill. The current federal spending agreement is set to expire Friday at midnight.
“We’re opposed to the mandate,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). “We don’t want the federal government to be able to fund them in any way shape or form.”

Yes she's cringe! However let's take the time to call out Omar for her anti Semitic and racist remarks about white men as well. ( even though she's married to one that's not her brother)Or for minimizing 9/11. You know the day "some people did something"?

Just another failed surgeon who decided being a quack politician aligned better with his character.

Nice deflection.  

You we were talking about MTG.  You could have not quoted the person you quoted and just started a new topic.  But you couldn't help yourself.  We do it all the time when people in our party are attacked....."well what about so and so......" totally off topic.

Just sayin'

Plus, we've already talked about those topics related to Omar at the time they happened, but that might have been before your time here.

You were so close to being opposed to racism, so close.

I didn't mean to. I thought it was about the other republican twit.  So if a topic has been discussed it can never be brought up again? Didn't tead that in the TOS

Are you denying that a violent mob broke into the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results on 010621? 

What might an internal threat include when considering how to protect a democratic republic?

The dems abortion bill is purposed for convenience at any stage for any reason as the currently the woman will be preserved by terminating the pregnancy already. No new bill needed.  Unless.......

The right to choose? Maybe, the right to end a pregnancy in the late trimesters for any reason? No. That's murder!! 

That quoted bit is hyperbolic baloney, intended to inflame people.  You should provide a citation that informs your sharp opinion and prove me right.

You initially seemed like you were going to oppose the comments made about Omar, but then instead offered reasons why they were justified.  

Benefit of the doubt is that you meant to, but forgot to include that you weren't defending Boebert's comments.
