““Civility has kind of disappeared,” she said. “Even in our party, and that’s sad.””

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Best part... "Even in our party" That's the separation from reality...
I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!
Every. Time.
Division among the state’s Republican Party was evident earlier in the day, when Jaime Herrera Beutler spoke as a candidate for public lands commissioner, a position that runs Washington’s Department of Natural Resources. Members of the crowd booed the candidate. Some stood up and turned their backs on her.
A former representative for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, Herrera Beutler notably voted to impeach President Donald Trump. It was a move that split GOP voters in her district. She lost the following primary in 2022, and in turn, her elected position in Congress.
The coupers bouped.
The coup is ongoing.
Let them fight.
Could we throw some folding chairs into the ring with them, at least?
Sure!
I miss the good old days.
That's what I'm saying. If they want to cannibalize each other then have at it...
“Civility has kind of disappeared,” she said. “Even in our party, and that’s sad.”
“Some people in our party are becoming less brainwashed, and that’s sad”
Who is 'she', quote the person so I can better judge them
Second paragraph
Lorraine Blacklock, a precinct committee officer from King County,
30-year involved republican. Judge away
King county means shes been getting her ass kicked for 30 years and is still showing up for more.
Kinda gotta respect that at least, even if she's fighting for the wrong team.
Just judge all the GQP the same.

The party’s candidate committee announced Bird was disqualified from the endorsement process Friday — prompting the room to roar with boos and cries of “bullshit.” The delegates then voted to overturn the committee’s disqualification.
You hate to see it. /s
Spokane will always be the city that voted to allow domestic terrorist Matt Shea into the government.
If you're not familiar with Domestic Terrorist Matt Shea, you should absolutely read about him.
I'm quite well aware of Matt Shea and his ilk. I first heard about him on Aron Ra's YouTube channel because he was organizing counter-protests against the Satanic Temple at the Idaho and Washington State capitols. There were some other things I was less aware of though, so that was definitely an enlightening read.
I especially liked the part about his jihad..."document, consisting of 14 sections" which I can only assume is a thinly veiled callback to the 14 words from David Eden Lane. There are some seriously deranged Nazi mother fuckers across Eastern Washington and Idaho. I don't want them getting anymore emboldened than they already are, and it is good to have a reminder of what we are dealing with in this country.
Not to defend Spokane but that was Spokane Valley. If you know the difference that’s all that needs to be said. Still part of the metro but technically not Spokane city proper.
Milwaukee is gonna burn this year.
That’s a lot of people flipping the bird….
It must be invisible Jewish space lasers causing disruptions . . .
