November 14, 2022 Buck Banks

Those who know her best don’t care for her, and a lot more people know more now than they did in 2020 and not for good reason. And so that was one data point.”

— Semafor interviewed Adam Frisch (D), who is on the verge of beating Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), on why he challenged her.

Poor Tailgunner Ted is singing the blues,
On Yelp, he only gets negative reviews.
He’s all hat and no horse,
Detested in Houston, of course,
Where, instead of cheering the Astros, they booed the Cruz.
