    Oh good. Now Boebert will have time to deal with her pedophile son instead of sucking up to a pedophile president.

      Now that she’s unemployed and unemployable, she needs a hobby and new skills. Learning to count numbers over her finger quantity will be an exciting journey for her. I only hope she stays out of the headlines forever.

        She can always go back to giving people food poisoning and/or being performatively ammosexual.

        Hey, above all my skills I do depend on a few basic skills that my wife likes. Although my right skill and my left skill are not the same size and my central skills are not that long or that deep, things still work out between us.

    Re the thumbnail: “Here we observe the christofascist in its natural environment, identified by its unique prayer pose, not seen in other species.” They always hold one hand up like that like they’re making an antenna that channels the god energy down to the earth to complete the circuit that makes the magic spell happen.

      I like to think of it as, “Hold on, God, I don’t care what you have to say. An evangelical is talking.”

        Yes, it does look like that! “Talk to the hand, God.”

    Kind of weird that AP still hasn’t called it. Looking at their own estimates of the percentage of votes that have already been counted it seems like the worst-case scenario is that the race tightens by a few hundred votes. The margin is 3,200 votes.

      They’re showing 98%counted, with 8,000 votes left to count, and Boebert would have to win 70.3% of the remaining votes to catch up with Laubacher. Somehow that’s not a sure enough thing for AP.
