NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

That was in 2003:

Kinda makes me wonder what he’s been up to for the past, oh, 16 or 17 years.

Both stupidity and non-stupidity (or at least self-preservation):

About 70 people RSVP’d for the event as of Monday night and even fewer showed up as the Trump administration’s own health officials warned Americans to limit travel and avoid large indoor gatherings amid a coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 300,000 Americans.

The event featured drinks, boxed meals and a masked Santa who walked around from table to table to chitchat with adults and children, according to the two officials and photographs taken during the event obtained by The Washington Post.

Did they look in the basement? (What do you mean the truck doesn’t have a basement?)

I mean really, pick at most two out of three of those.

Here’s a non-paywalled link regarding the Pompeo Party.

From this yahoo story:

Pompeo had been scheduled to speak, but canceled his address and had someone else deliver a message in his place, the Post reports.

So Mike didn’t bother to show up at his own party.

Dodge City, Kansas, mayor resigns abruptly amid threats of violence.

https://www.dodgeglobe.com/story/news/local/2020/12/15/dodge-city-mayor-joyce-warshaw-resigns-effective-immediately/3913222001/

Warshaw’s heavy decision was made with concerns for her safety after being met with aggression, including threats via phone and email from Dodge City citizens, following extreme backlash due to an article by USA Today published on Dec. 11, regarding the mask mandate.

Here’s a link to the USA Today article.

And the terrorists win. (not that I’m blaming her for resigning)

Which brings to mind this question: Are Republicans capable of feeling shame any more?

She literally had to get the hell out of Dodge?

That would be awesome, if it wasn’t terrible.

No. Terrorists don’t feel shame.

Kudos to her, as the article indicated that she was staying in her hometown, where she has lived all her life.

She was a respected schoolteacher and principal. Another victim of Trumpism, I fear.

Have you ever been there? It is where we get the word “dodgy”. I mean, there is a scenic overlook east of town, decorated with a cowboy statue made of horseshoes, where you can take in a panoramic vista of, I shit you not, the stockyards.

You don’t mean this seriously, right?

Somehow the USPS responds to a FOIA request on DeJoy’s calendar with a document that has literally everything redacted

Somehow, the postmaster general’s schedule is so vital to our nation’s security that the American People deserve to know absolutely nothing about it.

Jail. The only response to this nonsense should be long stints in prison.

I think his explanation is suspect.

Nancy Pelosi issued a directive that no member will be allowed to speak without a mask on the floor of the House, and if they take off their mask, they will stop being recognized. In response, the Congresswoman from QAnon says she’s violating her rights.

Gee, I wonder if Marjorie Taylor Greene has the same view about abortion.
Goes to check
She is extremely anti-abortion. I guess “my body, my choice” has limitations.

The anti-maskers have obviously deliberately appropriated the slogan from the pro-choice movement to try to draw exactly that parallel, that liberals are being inconsistent & hypocritical. They are morons, but I’m not sure it’s a great comeback to appear unaware of that, as though you’re making a “gotcha” that they haven’t thought of.

Does Houston have proud hours? Other than the Space Center?

‘Stockyards’ are a thing that haven’t existed for 30 or 40 years. This scenic overlook looks over a vast FEEDLOT of cattle, fences, equipment, buildings, and a whole lot of actual bullshit.
