What part of “not really a stupid Republican idea” do you not understand? ---

It’s worth it just to imagine the Republicans with their stupid robot brains, caught in an infinite loop of “can’t vote for the Democrat” “can’t vote for the Satanist”, eventually resulting in a clunking sound and tendrils of smoke rising from their heads. ---

As I Democrat, if I lived there, I’d have a hard time making a choice, too! I guess I’d end up voting for the DiMezzo, since she advocates everything I agree with — but a little smoke might emerge from my ears, too, as I pulled the lever for a (as printed on the ballot) “Republican.” ---

Some idiot live-streamed himself taking a crap in Nancy Pelosi’s driveway - actually, he missed and actually dropped the deuce on the sidewalk in front of her house. He called it a peaceful protest against elites that have toilets when ordinary people can’t find a place to poop during the pandemic, or something…but after he saluted and unleashed his bowels he yelled “this is for you, President Trump” Which I found to be confusing - was he saying that the abandoned pile of shit was a gift for President Trump - “I did the work, now come and get the fruits of my labors” or if he took the dump at Pelosi’s so Trump didn’t have do. But apparently Big Bold Sidewalk Pooper turned into a diarrheal snowflake when the Capitol Police got involved, and started sniveling about how even though he liked Trump and was scared America might become one big burnt out city he wasn’t very political and taking a dump for Trump was his idea of satire. The actual video is really boring, you have to stare at the front of Pelosi’s house for a long time while he works up his nerve or waits for the Ex-Lax to kick in, then he fumbles the camera, then he forgets the TP… > **[YouTuber explains why he livestreamed himself pooping on Nancy Pelosi’s driveway](https://nypost.com/2020/09/14/man-who-pooped-on-pelosis-driveway-calls-it-peaceful-protest/)** > > The YouTube star who filmed himself defecating on the driveway of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco residence said he did so as a “peaceful protest” — but admitted … I think we need to kick the liberal outrage up to 11 on this one, guys. I want it to catch on with the MAGAbots, to become a …movement, as it were. I want this to become a thing. I want to watch them all TAKE A DUMP FOR TRUMP. I want to see close-ups of fragrant brown Trump trains being squeezed from middle of those obese pasty white cheeks. I want to watch them all drop their pants and pinch a loaf as they race into the rally. I want them to video tape it, I want #MAGA to be full of photos of literal piles of shit, instead of the figurative ones it features now. I want to see Lindsey Graham volunteer to be the TP for them all. I want the Fox talking heads bloviating about their Constitutional right to crap on the street without a mask. I want Fox and Friends to do a cute game show type segment where they all crap for Trump and let the audience rate their efforts. I want them to make “peaceful protest” commercials, contrasting footage burning cities with video of hundreds of fat white folk crapping on the sidewalk, leaving steamy piles in their wake as Trump’s voiceover assures us that “I am Donald Trump and I approve this message”. ---

The Attorney General of South Dakota says that he thought that he had hit a deer Saturday night but never reported it. Turns out he hit and killed a man. Sounds to me like he was drunk driving and left the scene without reporting it. > **[UPDATE: DPS not sharing key info about attorney general crash, investigation](https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/dps-attorney-general-reported-hitting-a-deer-but-mans-body-discovered-the-next-morning/article_d30c1f03-6e69-577d-9b0c-08106a963b60.html)** > > The Department of Public Safety is not disclosing some key details about the investigation into the attorney general who fatally hit a man while driving after attending a Republican Party ---

OMG! 😱 Even if he thought it was a deer, why didn’t he stop to see if it was injured or killed. What an utterly irresponsible thing to do! Holy shit. ---

I remember in Singapore there was a case of a lady who ran over a cyclist, dragged the bike for 1km and then drove home (without stopping) and in the court case cited “Lexus sound insulation is so good I didn’t know” and only received license suspension. ---
