The same Elise Stefanik who hitched her wagon to Kevin McCarthy? That Elise Stefanik? Hey what happened to Kevin btw

He's gone, ousted due to insufficient levels of MAGA, aka refused to explicitly state that the election was stolen with the gusto expected by Trump. Stefanik rode McCarthy's coattails up and then pivoted when he wouldn't.

They'll just take off the (red) hat and change the subject

Oh absolutely. "Bush?! Hahahh, who? Who would.. vote... for......" slowly turns framed photograph of W Bush on his nightstand face down

Polling is absolutely garbage, this is true. And dems have performed well in special elections, nor was there a red wave in 2022 (not sure about gubernatorial stuff). But the GOP still kept the House. That's nuts, even when accounting for all the flaws in our democracy that favor them.

doomsayer theory on why Lauren Boebert had to change districts

Nah, I mean, she lost because she's radical and weird, and enough people in her district got sick of it. A healthy, tactful party wouldn't let her run again at all. The fact that she'll probably win in another district is amazing.

And here you are, rending your shirt about the triumphant rise of Elise Stefanik.

lol, again, I'm cool. Just sayin' what I think. Of course I don't expect to be right about every element of this, but it's where I'm (still) at. And you're where you're still at. This is classic us.

edit: The IVF stuff is funny. Absolutely a circus.
