And the GOP implements yet another “can’t fail” ACME strategy.

Not terribly surprising. I mean, they’ve turned against women, and against voters, so it’s not clear to me why the combination would be any more acceptable than each one separately.

Fun fact: Coyotes have the most efficient gait of any quadriped.

Good update. Haven’t heard anything about the League of Women Voters for years.

It’s unfortunate they haven’t been able to overcome a partisan image. Some very important issues (for example, concern about money in politics) have garnered bipartisan support in recent years. There’s opportunity out there for a grass-roots movement on this and other election-related issues

We have no roadrunners hereabouts, but we have bobwhite quail, and they run, sort of.

The league, she claimed, “peddles Marxist ideology”

Oh, FFS. Nothing says communism like dedicating yourself to increasing voting in a capitalist democracy. These morons wouldn’t know “Marxist ideology” if it bit them in the means of production.

I am a great admirer of coyotes. They have adapted well and are thriving. Just keep your cats and small dogs indoors.

Breaking news: GOP turns against apple pie. Dinesh D’Souza claims he has video of thousands of apple pies stuffing ballot boxes. Some GOPers push to go beyond condemning apple pie. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Louie Gohmert attack mom for making apple pie. “Mom is grooming your kids with apple pie!” tweets Greene.

The California Quail has this doodad on top of its head, and it bobs up and down as it runs, in a very comically doofy way. It’s a delight to watch.

Edit: found a short Youtube clip that captures it nicely.

The GOP abandoned the League of Women Voters a long time ago.

The GOP hasn’t participated in any of their activities for some time. I just wish GOP women could see how they’ve been abandoned at every level of their being, but still they throng and thrall to TFG and his minions. Just doesn’t make any sense - cognitive dissonance at its best.

They don’t even know what ‘means of production’ means, or who controls it, and why that matters.
