Came here to say this. They are consistent, I’ll give them that.
Wait for : democrats cheated at the mid term election. It will be a lot of fun.
This would be such an excellent slogan for ad for the Democrats, it’s a wonder why they never used it
Mainly because most of them are not interested in meaningful change that includes them losing "perks" they like. There are a few but the established ones won't let them rock the boat too much.
That sounds like an ad that some PAC could create, and run nationally with minor changes.
PACs require funding, and between the working class and the corporate oligarchs, I'll give you one guess as to which has the money.

“I oppose letting men in women’s locker rooms and voted to let parents, not politicians, make decisions for their kids,” Trone Garriott said in a recent ad that drew criticism from some LGBTQ+ activists.

Joe Biden took a shit in my pants and made me vote for a swindling warmonger
Barrack Hussein Obama has been running a shadow-cabal out of the basement of a pizzeria in the basement of a girl's school in Iran and shipping them out in boats disguised as oil tankers via the strait of hormuz, and transferring them to fake fishing boats around Venezuela ok authority of Moduro. So it's reeeaaally his fault for the wars and gas prices
At least we got that school basement finally huh
“If I’m doing it, and I’m the most righteous person alive, everyone else must be doing it 10x more”
That's exactly how they think.
The responding officer said he spoke to her after spotting her parked in grass on the side of a highway, that her speech was very slurred and she “appeared to have difficulty comprehending” questions, according to an affidavit included in court filings. A preliminary breath test displayed a .254 blood alcohol content, three times the .08 legal limit for driving, and a test taken at the jail displayed a .192 level, the affidavit says.
Holy shit!
Just so we're clear about whether this is one of those things that was technically a violation but not actually "that" bad... no, this really was that bad. .254 and delirious on the side of the road!
.254 isn't just getting a little carried away. That's three bottles of wine or a whole bottle of hard liquor.
"I just drank a fifth of vodka. Dare me to drive"
Do you know that song by Phil Collins? In the air of the night?
Among the likely many many other things she needs to be treated for, I hope they get her help with the drinking also. That's real red flag hardcore alcoholic level BAC while still being conscious.

Well I'm convinced, after all, she's a subject matter expert.
~/s~
this happens so frequently that i think The Onion wouldn't make similar jokes anymore, as not to be seen as unoriginal
She looks exactly how you would expect
EDIT: Nope. It's a totally different piece of blonde shit.
Is this the chick in the Anti-Talarico ad from Texas?
Because the Republicans blocking the release of the Epstein Files feels pretty dangerous to kids, if you ask me.
She tried to play it off too like it was, "Just an OUI," an OUI isn't a just anything.
Next they should drag out a woman who let her kid be abused talk shit about her kid in a political attack ad.
Ohio: "Way ahead of you!"
wtf is this satire or her real FB page?

“When it comes to our kids, Sarah is just plain dangerous,” says Shellie Flockhart, a Dallas Center city councilwoman identified in the ad by her first name.
