NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

To DoctorJ’s point, I’ve experienced KY homegrown and holy f**king sh*t.

But let’s face it, you can’t really be sure, can you? :thinking:

I’m sorry to sound all self-righteous about this, but if you haven’t ever woken up with a new and inexplicable stamp in your passport and springbok hair in the crack of your ass, then … well … I’m not so sure I want to know you.

“Gee. I guess we’ll move our hub to JAX or DFW. then.”

You went through passport control? Amateur. I woke up dry beneath the African sky, just me and my Swiss Army knife.

I went to Giraffic Park once, but the animals got loose and killed most of my party.

One star. Would not recommend.

But you had that mango, so there’s that…

I got lucky there; it was the last one they had.

In response to the anti-voting legislation in Georgia, Major League Baseball has announced that it’s moving the All Star Game out of Atlanta. The draft is also going to be moved.

This story from mlb.com appeared on my FB feed. The comments are hilarious. All of the right-wingers are complaining that the new Georgia law is a law requiring ID to vote, nothing more.

Closing polls, limiting drop boxes, banning handing out water. I’d like to hear their explanation as to how this all about IDs.

Simple: They’ll say that it doesn’t do any of those things. When confronted with the actual text of the bill, they’ll still say it doesn’t do any of those things. The fact that this is in contradiction to easily-verifiable truth is irrelevant to them.

Dollars to donuts says a lot of them are the same right-wingers who have a nuclear meltdown about the intolerable threat to their “liberty” when they’re asked to put on a mask to go to the grocery store during a fucking pandemic.

But requiring them to show a government-issued ID in order to be able to exercise their most fundamental right as American citizens? Hey, if it’ll keep more of Those People from voting, the righties are just fine with that!

The Chairman of the Dallas, Texas County Republican Party threatened to raise taxes on corporations that oppose Texas’s proposed anti-voting laws.

It seems like it should be illegal to target tax raises based on what a corporation says about any sort of bill. And if it’s not illegal, it certainly sounds wrong.

Those corporations can take their marbles and go elsewhere. Southwestern Bell left St. Louis and moved to San Antonio and then moved again to Dallas. And it wasn’t all that long ago.

Tsk-tsk, what’s wrong is to deny generous tax incentives to corporations because you’re concerned about their environmental policies or the burdens they place on local resources. That is evil socialistic communist government, because corporations are Benevolent Bountiful Job Creators who must be courted and placated at all costs.

The situation here concerns denying generous tax incentives to corporations because they are mildly criticizing the oppressive anti-social-justice nature of your legislation. That is striking a heroic blow for liberty, because corporations are Soulless Bureaucratic Behemoths at the Mercy of Woke Mobs who must be resisted at all costs.

It’s a mystery to me how any Republicans are still able to hear what they’re saying out of either side of their own mouths.

Empty Greene was not only excoriated all over the internet for her dangerous medical advice, she’s been repudiated by the CrossFit company:

Congressman Jeff Duncan wants to rescind Major League Baseball’s antitrust exception because of their removal of the All Star Game from Georgia.

Good plan, Republican constituents notoriously hate baseball.

However, this will give all the self-described anti-“cancel culture” conservatives a nice opportunity to scold their overreacting legislators for attempting to “cancel” MLB.
