A couple stories about AOC and her "arrest"

grrrgraphics.com/the-drama-que
First Ben Garrison has a cartoon that notes the cop doesn't want to date her.

Second, "Not the Bee" has a great collection of tweets that mock the whole situation. The last one from the "Babylon Bee" is pretty good as well.

@mhjohnson
Is this good or bad?

It seems to be that both political parties agree that conservatives have less of a chance of winning in Colorado. The GOP did what they could to promote the pro abortion, pro gun control candidates, the democrats did what they could to promote the pro-life pro-second amendment candidates.

I'm not generally a fan of the Vote Against Your Own Values Because The Party Doesn't Believe Your Values Will Win approach.

That's how we got Republicans casting the votes like the recent one limiting the second amendment.

If Clinton (or AOC or Pelosi) ran as a Republican, the GOP would get out the vote for her, calling her the most electable Republican.

@realcaseyrollins Do you think they're really learning that?

You're right about that word they keep using and I do not think it means what they think it means....but learning done things is hard.

@soretski @echoteecat is this one of the ads paid for by Democrat PACs to try to influence the Republican primary?

@vwbusguy I only write with unless I'm out of ink and without a refill. My wife likes Lamy but they seem to scratch the paper for me. I've had too many Pilot pens leak ink all over.

I've been using a Parker Urban For a few years now. Inexpensive ($20-30) so it's not a huge loss if I lose it, writes very smoothly, only bleeds when I've tried to use it on airplanes with the air pressure being the issue, I suppose.

Just ordered a second because the lid is loose on mine. It's just as nice... Ran out of ink over the weekend but had my new pen also so kept writing.

People are so judgmental. I can tell just by looking at them.

@ParkerTechGuy @mhjohnson several large broken branches here, south side of Denver. While I was out knocking snow off branches this morning, every few minutes I'd hear another cRaCk! Bang! Of branches falling around the neighborhood.
