Honestly.. I feel like we have been invaded by giant Cooties.. (Iowa Here)

[Peacetrain]

The republicans are crawling all over our state.. just letting you know what you are in for.. it is just depressing to catch the local news and the negativity factor spewing from them goes right off the charts..

What ever happened to their (republicans) supposed happy warrior or whatever it was..

I am so thankful for Joe Biden and his can do attitude.. He in his 80's has gotten more done than this whole lot ever has.. He just rolls up his sleeves and does it.

1. I feel sorry for my neighbors to the north.

I don’t know how you can stand it.

Have the DiSantis’ moved to Iowa? Seems they’ve been there for months.

[Peacetrain]

2. I have reached the point where I mute the TV or turn off the radio

when ever one of these jokers comes on..There is no way to explain how grating that non stop carping is... they are the most joyless group.. I find it easier to read what they say to keep up with the nonsense..

3. I was born there

Iowa was a blue state when I was growing up. Don't know what happened, but glad I moved out before it did.

4. I miss Tom Harkin

He certainly could put together a great crowd of Dems.

5. What a treat, to see Mike Pence in a leather biker vest

He just looks so natural and comfortable

[jaxexpat]

6. Yep! Mikey was definitely reborn to be wild.

[Walleye]

9. Very funny. Born again to be wild

[jaxexpat]

15. Steppenwolf never saw that coming, I'll bet.

8. RepubliQon Qosplay. . . . nt

[Biophilic]

12. Thank you, I needed a good hearty laugh.

Seriously, Mike Pence in a biker vest. Someone in his pr group either needs to be fired by the republicans or handed an atta boy from us. Some many things wrong with that image.

7. The future (and it is positive) is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.

In 1992 the journalist Scott Rosenberg writing in the San Francisco Examiner credited William Gibson with the maxim as mentioned previously in this article. This is the earliest citation known to QI [WGSF]:

As William Gibson put it: “The future has arrived — it’s just not evenly distributed yet.”

This includes and is despite the white hatefests and moral panics whipped up by the RepubliQonners.

I say "despite", because they are on the losing side of history.

When you look at what is achieved with diversity and how happy people are, and you realize how close we are to a world like that, perhaps you will join me in believing it will be net positive for humans.

10. Ya really gotta tune that negative crap out

Once ya know that a particular news/media is offering nothing but lies, ridiculous conspiracies, and negative hate and fear-mongering, why would you go back for more. I never watch Fox, CNN, or a host of online crap. I only watch selected hosts on MSNBC and here on DU.

My mental state is very important. Yours is important too.

[Hortensis]

11. Lol, what an image.

Negative campaigns are always bad news. In more ways than one.

Yes WE can. And are.

[Martin Eden]

13. Regarding "Happy Warrior"

The only politician I recall with that nickname was Hubert Humphrey, LBJ's VP who lost to Nixon in 1968.

[Peacetrain]

14. Oh good God you are right.. that was HH.. you know they are in such bad shape there is no

bone anyone can throw to the republicans.. what a sad sack party they have become
