Lauren Boebert would be my guess.

I feel wrong for saying it, but Lauren boebert gives me willy twinges. I don't even think she's that fit, but she is utterly bonkers and that apparently turns me on.

 

[Simon Buttle]

who was the third?

I mean Gaetz was one, surely

Lauren Boebert was the other and there was some older guy with a southern sounding accent who just had a real venom in his voice.

Couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask for close to a year, but now they’re able to turn one around in under a day with custom phrases from Ancient Sparta?

Adding to the effect, the extended arms to signify her martyrdom at the hands of a metal detector.

Child, please.

Basically a 21st century Jesus. Presumably she drove to DC from Georgia to begin her term. No other explanation for having never encountered such sorcery before.

Mad to think that there are those that think she or the other one "know what they are doing" and not just plain stupid. Especially when it comes to politics. A job you can win without knowing anything about how government works. Or the rules and regulations that make this country tick.

People need to realise it is possible to be dumb, naive and way under qualified and still get elected. We have seen it in most countries as long as democracy has existed.

They have teams of people writing scripts and giving them simple sound bytes and strategies to make them.

Anyone who has worked on a campaign or seen how they work will see how you have someone that covers every angle especially now with social media.

This idea that everyone is suddenly trolling or being manipulative is being kind. Sure there are those who do that and then there are those who are not.

Truth.

I identify as a Dem but there have often been times, in the not-so-recent past, in local and state races where I've crossed the aisle because even though I may disagree on some matters the Republican was competent and sane in contrast to the Dem who was dumber than a box of rocks.
