I can never forgive my home state, Colorado, for inflicting this creature upon the U.S. Congress and the world. She is making laws when she doesn’t know how government is structured and likely could not pass an eighth grade level civics test. Lauren Boebert has just been crowing and glowing since the election where she managed to get herself a third term in the House. I despair of America ever waking up sometimes, but we have to take comfort in a couple of things: 1. Trump may claim a landslide but that’s bullshit. Reagan got a landslide, Nixon got a landslide, LBJ got a landslide, Trump did okay. 2. Half of America hates Trump, Boebert and MAGA and with cause to feel that way. 3. To paraphrase yet another Colorado woman, the Unsinkable Molly Brown, “We ain’t down yet.” The resistance is coming back, stronger than ever. Meanwhile, here’s Bobo’s latest stupidity.
Lauren Boebert Wants Trump to Appoint Dan Bongino as "Secretary of Secret Service"—A Job That Doesn't Exist

As you saw, Bobo doesn’t know that the Secret Service is an agency under the Department of Homeland Security. It is not a Department that exists at cabinet-level, with a Secretary for said Department. But hey, departments, agencies, why should we worry about trifles.
The world looks at the kakistocracy which America has decided to vote into office. I feel particular misery this time out. In 2016 it was a quirk of the Electoral College that got Trump in. At least Hillary won the popular vote. But this time, we knew better. We had four years with the Mango Moron and we saw over one millon Americans die from COVID, while the rest of us were masked up and wiping our butts with coffee filters after the toilet paper ran out.
America has run out of excuses. Half the country is stupid — or suicidal, take your pick. Because a vote for Trump is a vote against self interest. Politics by MAGA is angertainment. It’s not only political theater, which we always had, it’s political mud wrestling. I don’t know how we’re going to get out of this, other than one day at a time. We’ll see the answers come to us slowly.
I love your articles.
“it’s political mud wrestling.”
Yep, not just entertainment but the lowest version of it.
Roller Derby, without the rules.
Well, as you say the Secret Service falls under the jurisdiction of DHS. I keep pointing out that the decline that becomes more evident with each passing year began when it was moved from Treasury to DHS. I could write an entire column about why this is the case – the LE logistics involved. In any case if Trump gets his way Puppy Shooter Kristi Noem will as DHS head have jurisdiction over the Secret Service. Maybe Bobo is jealous!
