    Boebert was re-elected to a second term last year by the slimmest of margins — beating her Democratic opponent in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District by just over 500 votes.

    Her opponent is running again and his name is Adam Frisch. His website is:

      She’ll lie and say that she supports the company, and it’s crooks in places like Jew York who are stealing her constituents’ money. They haven’t argued in good faith since Eisenhower was in office.

          I’ve heard Conservatives unironically call it ‘Jew York’ before. Which is just awesome to hear as a Jew, let me tell you. They also often talk about someone ‘Jewing me down’ on a price if they’re selling something.

            Am not Jewish but have close friends that are. These types of slurs were very common when I was a kid (80s). You are probably aware this goes way, way back. Recently read Oliver Twist and being Jewish is shorthand for “morally bankrupt”.

              Oh yeah, Fagin is fucking awful. And that book is still taught in public schools. At least N— Jim in Tom Sawyer Huckleberry Finn is a hero and a good friend.

                There are a few other characters for who “being Jewish” is a defining trait in that book. All of them are part of the criminal underworld in some way. Yeah, super gross. To see all the “will not replace us” crap resurfacing in a big way over the last decade or so has been brutal to watch. Can’t stand humans, sometimes.

          I first read ‘Jew York’ in Vonnegut’s ‘Mother Night’ [my personal favorite] So yes, option three.

    "Biden plans to tour CS Wind, the world’s largest facility for wind tower manufacturing, in the town of Pueblo.”

    The wind in the willows playing tea for two Scarlet Begonias has a touch of the blues…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden plans to take direct aim at far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert on Wednesday when he talks up his legislative accomplishments during a visit to her Colorado district.

    Biden is scheduled to tour a wind tower manufacturer in Pueblo that recently announced an expansion that the White House said was a direct result of the Inflation Reduction Act — a signature part of his economic agenda.

    In a preview of the trip, the White House contrasted the administration’s manufacturing and clean energy investments with Boebert’s politics, arguing in a document that “self-described MAGA Republicans like Representative Lauren Boebert continue to undermine their constituents by trying to block the President’s agenda.”

    At a campaign event Tuesday night, Biden criticized Boebert by name and other Republicans who voted against legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, according to a pool report.

    Biden had planned to make the trip to Boebert’s district in October, but it was postponed after war broke out between Israel and Hamas.

    Boebert was re-elected to a second term last year by the slimmest of margins — beating her Democratic opponent in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District by just over 500 votes.
