Discussion: Republican Lt. Gov. Of Idaho Delivered 'Oath' At Rally Hosted By Right-Wing Militia

Sickening. Good luck getting rid of her, Idaho, even if you did manage to get rid of Richard Butler. She sounds like Butler’s daughter!

“
spectators will be invited to take an oath of citizenship
”

“Today it’s really special because I’m actually your acting governor,”
McGeachin said before administering the oath. (Idaho Gov. Brad Little
was out-of-state at the time, the Post Register reported.)

“The paper noted McGeachin’s ties to the Three Percenters, including a picture she posted and quickly deleted in March with two men making a hand sign associated with the militia and wearing prison jumpsuits
”

Nothing creepy here.

I’d rather have them doing their nazi salutes and oaths in public than playing with dog whistles.

Much easier to call a kettle a kettle when it’s not pretending to be a bag of popcorn.

Let this be a warning to all the ‘just elect women’ answers to our political problems.

See here
what a damn horrible media environment we have. Dems are worried how our LEGAL and perfectly legitimate and even constitutionally duty-bound actions get repackaged and weaponized against us
while Lt. Govs are swearing fealty oaths with gun-toting militia groups.

“Some of the attendees at the Patriots’ Day celebration wished to recite an oath to express their support for and dedication to the U.S. Constitution. It was not delivered in a legal context and therefore holds no legal significance.”

The Wingnut Constitution.

Did it go something like this:

„Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid, daß ich dem FĂŒhrer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes, Adolf Hitler, dem Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will, jederzeit fĂŒr diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen.“

Or the spawn of former Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth. She was so whack that she thought salmon should not be protected because in her words, you could just buy it out of a can.
I always thought her death to be the pinnacle of irony. A fiercely anti government woman who was killed when she was thrown out of her SUV because she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Oh the oppressive NHTSA!

The casualness with which the RW will ratfk the country is truly frightening.

A fortune in a fortune cookie has more relevance.

Man, good thing the headline specified “Republican”.

The next Dem president should declare a square inch of Idaho a gun-free zone and it will draw every speck of gun-nut attention in the state for the duration of the administration.

She ain’t too bright, huh?

OT- the Krugman-Trump battle (did not realize the full story from early TPM today)

(Krugman) The fact is that the occupant of the White House betrayed his country. And the question everyone is asking is, what will Democrats do about it?
But notice that the question is only about Democrats. Everyone (correctly) takes it as a given that Republicans will do nothing. Why?
Because the modern G.O.P. is perfectly willing to sell out America if that’s what it takes to get tax cuts for the wealthy.

.

(Trump) Paul Krugman, of the Fake NYT, has lost all credibility, as has the Times itself, with his false and highly inaccurate writings on me. He is obsessed with hatred, just as others are obsessed with how stupid he is. He said Market would crash, Only Record Highs!

Keep the sparks flying, Krugman.

Handful of morbidly obese ammosexuals swear allegiance? To crackers? In Boise? I’m going to decline the invitation to be afraid of these guys.

I wonder if she recited the __________ version of the Constitution before they all swore to support and dedication to it? We’ve had strong suspicions for years that those pocket Constitutions Republicans wave around on the Hill have been edited to only listing the second Amendment.

Not to mention she was one of several GOP congresspersons conducting Impeachment against Bill Clinton for
lying about adultery
who were themselves engaged in concealed adulterous relationships.

The market did swoon last qtr 2018 and has not returned to the frothy heights of July / August. A good thing. Worry about Trump’s next enormity is sobering the irrationally exuberant.

Yes. the U.S. Constitution? Just the 2nd Amendment? Just the Bill of Rights? No 14th Amendment or birthright citizenship. No 16th Amendment. No 19th Amendment. I suspect that her U.S. Constitution is the same as her Bible–cherry-picked.
