Had an interesting tidbit passed along.
Apparently, representatives of the South Dakota ‘Freedom Caucus’ are reaching out to other state’s House GOP caucuses because they want to introduce more rules and bylaws into South Dakota’s House GOP Caucus. (This would be the group headed in part by Tina Mulally, which reaching for the easy joke might make it more appropriately, the ‘Free-dumb Caucus’ group.). And it leaves me asking, why are they looking for new and different rules. Aren’t they supposed to be for less government?
If I recall, the last time someone went trying to introduce more rules into the House caucus, women were told they had to wear nylons, skirts below the knees, and barred from sleeveless tops.
So GOP House (and prospective House) members, consider the source when you all get together after the elections.
Maybe they should consider leaving the Republican Caucus and just being members of the Freedom Caucus. Then they can have all the rules they want.
You got that right!!
YES PLEASE! Time to purge the party of the weirdos who want to go back to 1943.
Who would be left? I’m not sure SDGOP would even retain a majority.
yes the SDGOP would still have a majority. The Freedom Caucus was well represented at the SDGOP convention but did not have the votes necessary to defund the convention or defeat the resolution of support for the slate of Republican candidates.
So Tina Mulally is Chair and Tony Randolph is Vice-Chair? Any other leaders that you know of?
I thought Aylward was Chair?
The “less government” line was for marketing only. These people want an autocratic system where they can dictate decisions for everyone. I think this desire is just something you are born with, because I don’t care what my neighbor or anyone else is doing. I find this odd desire to be a developmental defect, perhaps derived from lack of physical contact growing up.
Similar to any “Republican” that doesn’t support cannabis legalization. Less government in name only.
Yep. Freedom as long as I’m cool with it personally.
I look forward to stoned school bus drivers, day care providers, and school teachers.
School teachers and daycare providers are already getting stoned. Getting pot is just as simple as getting alcohol in SD and the laws aren’t doing much to stop anything. They just clog our courts with non violent offenders while people who drink and beat their wives are an increasing problem. School bus drivers need a cdl and are drug tested regularly so changing our state law wouldn’t affect that at all. Reefer madness is simply put, stupid madness and that is exactly what your comment is following.
Putting yourself in the cross hairs of a growing election integrity advocacy community is not a good long-term strategy. Growth is painful and discombobulated at times, making it difficult to control (good), but that’s no reason to discount them off-hand.
On one hand, “this is war so we had to steal it” is only marginally better than “we allowed it to be stolen so we could launder money through Ukraine and the CIA”.
Either way .. our country is incompetent.
Every transaction to and from SD banks is recorded for posterity .. there will be no escaping the audit.
The evidence is like a gold mine .. you don’t shut down the mine when it’s peak productivity.
There will be a come to Buddha moment.
Government issued digital currency will not save them.
John Dale with all these rapid fire irregularities rocketing through your brain how do you ever fall asleep?
video of the SDGOP convention should be reviewed to see how many of these people were among those who stood up to be counted in opposition to the resolution of support for the Republican candidates.
Identify the guilty parties, and boot them from the Republican caucus.
There are Freedom Caucus orgs in several states. The one thing they have in common is an inability to influence legislation in a positive way.
