So a bunch of non-democratic countries are going to tell us where we are allowed to put our Embassy in a third democratic country which is a close U.S. ally.

I think not.

Getting snarky, eh? Did someone piss in your cornflakes today or something?

In other news it appears that Trump will announce the plans to move the embassy tomorrow. Today he is calling Arab leaders to tell them to hush up.

Despite Arab leaders' warnings, Trump intends to announce Jerusalem embassy move

US President Donald Trump called the leaders of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan and Egypt on Tuesday to inform them of his intention to move the US Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, 22 years after the US Congress called on the White House to do just that.

Jerusalem is just one of the many notable harbingers. If anyone here has studied "Dispensationalism", "End Times" prophecy the current political structure and atmosphere in the Middle East is setting up perfectly.

Russia aligning with Iran, whodathunkit?

In my circles, debates on the Biblical merits of Dispensationalism and the Future restoration of the Nation of Israel usually come from my Reformed Theology friends. Here it's just willful ignorance.

Boebert inches away from losing a solidly red district.

Lauren Boebert's re-election in jeopardy, new poll shows
https://www.axios.com/2022/10/04/lauren-boebert-tied-democrat-midterm-poll

Republican firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert is dangerously close to being upset by a little-known Democratic rival, a new poll in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District shows.

By the numbers: Boebert received support from 47% of likely voters, while Democrat Adam Frisch landed at 45% — making the race a statistical tie within the ±4.4 percentage point margin of error.
  • 7% of voters are undecided, per the poll.
The survey, taken Sept. 29–Oct. 2 by Keating Research, a Democratic firm and one of the most accurate pollsters in Colorado, represents a 5-point swing toward Frisch. In July, Boebert held a 49%-42% advantage.
  • Unaffiliated voters — those not aligned with a major political party — strongly dislike Boebert, who's known for her Christian nationalist rhetoric, opposition to bipartisan legislation, and lighting rod remarks about guns and immigration. Those voters are shifting toward Frisch as the election progresses, pollsters said.
What they're saying: "With Boebert under 50%, that means she is vulnerable to losing this race," Chris Keating, president and founder of Keating Research, told Axios Denver on Tuesday.

Yes, but: The 3rd District on Colorado's Western Slope overwhelmingly favors Republicans, and the race is not considered competitive by national experts.
  • Boebert is a fundraising juggernaut and frequent surrogate supporter for Republican candidates across the country.
  • FiveThirtyEight gives Boebert a 98% chance of winning a second term.
 
LOL. They created a "No Lunatics" rule for Boebert.

The House rules chairman blocked Lauren Boebert's measure under a 'new rule' against 'lunatics'

  • Rep. Lauren Boebert offered a "rational" amendment, but the House Rules Committee chairman blocked it.
  • Rep. Jim McGovern said his committee's "new rule" is that "if you're batshit crazy, you're not getting an amendment," a new book says.
  • His recollection is described in "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind."
House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern created a "new rule" on his committee for people like Rep. Lauren Boebert, the gun-toting far-right firebrand from Colorado.

When one of her "flurry of nonsensical amendments turned out to be reasonable," McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat, blocked it from going to the House floor and a Republican committee member wanted to know why, according to journalist Robert Draper's new book, "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind."

"As McGovern would recall it, his response was, 'We have a new rule in the Rules Committee. If you're batshit crazy, you're not getting an amendment,'" Draper wrote. "'I'm sorry. We're not doing this. We're not doing this. I'm not going down that road. I'm not going to be part of any effort to legitimize people who are fucking lunatics.'"

The book does not describe the amendment. McGovern and Boebert's offices didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Boebert was among the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results after a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. In the aftermath, Draper describes how some Democrats, including McGovern, weren't inclined to work with election-denying Republicans.

Draper describes McGovern as someone who always thought the minority party in Congress "deserved an airing of its views," but who "modified" his position after January 6.

McGovern was among "the vast majority" of Democrats who initially believed what House members had been through on January 6 would bring them together, just as members came together after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

One Republican member told McGovern that, because of the riot, he would vote to uphold the election results. But the Republican changed his mind by the time the vote occurred, explaining to McGovern, "'I won't come back otherwise'" to Congress.
 
Boebert is smoking hot !!!! She is also tough as nails. Then you have Chelsea Handler who is a walking abortion clinic. She is disgusting .
Boebert is also smart.
