GOPer Rails Against ‘Woke Sky’ As U.S. Conservatives Try To Shoehorn Culture War Nonsense Into Ukraine Crisis

A few answers for Tucker:

“Has Putin ever called me a racist?”

Putin holds most Americans in contempt, particularly Black and brown citizens.

“Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?”

According to the Committee to protect journalists Putin is responsible for the deaths of over 40 journalists as well as the harassment of others and the closing of opposition media enterprises.

Unbelievable. Here we are in the 21st century and some of us are still running around and talking as though we live in caves.

Plug and play. “You millenials under your carbon tax sky…”
“You millenials under your strong labor unions sky…”
“You millenials under your strengthened voting rights act sky…”
"You millenials under your high top marginal income tax rates sky…
“You millenials under your drastically reducing child poverty rates through the child tax credit sky…”
Hours of amusement! The sky’s the limit!

That’s almost poetic. The woke sky. Sleepy-head moon went to bed and the watchful sun took its place. The sun illuminates all and rouses us with its warmth. The moon casts its lesser light on the sleeping and the night owls, lighting up their dreams and casting lonesome shadows.

That’s a tweet that was composed about 36 hours into a blackout drunk.

Guys, I think all these references to a woke sky are a way to get “clouds” and “shadows” into the conservation and circle around to blaming Hillary Clinton.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted over the weekend about Higgins. She said he’s like that in committee.

Culture warriors on the left are at it too, crying about reporters’ saying “civilized” in reference to Ukraine. Can we just agree that culture warriors of all stripes should be given as little attention as possible?

No just babbling in an odd phraseology. Higgins makes his fellow Louisianan Senator John Kennedy look like mellifluous orator.
