NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

Maybe at a certain point, we should just let them have their delusions. They’re less likely to get all het up if they think Donnie is actually still in charge. And maybe less likely to vote if they think elections no longer matter and that Immortan Don is really the president forever.

The Daily Beast says they have a copy of a letter from Joel Greenberg which claims that he and Matt Gaetz paid for sex with a 17 year old.

No, here’s the technology he should be using:

Floriduh:

Reminds me of the Charles Dickens story The Haunted Man, a sort-of variation on A Christmas Carol in which, instead of the Christmas-hater being haunted by three abstract ghosts, he’s haunted by a ghost of himself. so maybe the Ghost of Donald Trump is haunting the White House while he’s still alive down in Mar-a-Lago.

Or maybe Lin Wood has just finally gone Off the Deep End

We had to get the Jr Senator from the 43rd most populous state to argue that a party dominated by old white men isn’t racist, that it’s really the party which has had a Black President and VP and 90% African American support at the ballot box… they’re the real racists!

Aye; Tim Scott’s remarks were so detached from reality that it’s hard to imagine who the intended audience was beyond the GOP base.

Maybe The Donald has indeed shuffled off his mortal coil, and his actual ghost is patrolling the White House. But the Republicans have to keep up the fiction that he is alive. Only a select few can be let in on the secret. Predictable comments repeated by others and strategically placed in media outlets . A lookalike actor seen from a distance. Some CGI. It could easily be done. Something as simple as the dummy (so to speak) that Sherlock Holmes set up in the window of The Empty House.

That’s obviously the real reason.

Lin Wood claims to have been kidding. From a Newsweek article, “Responding to a request for comment from Newsweek over the posts, Wood said: ‘I have a sense of humor. Do you?’”

No; no, you don’t have a sense of humor, Mr. Wood. At least, there’s no evidence of one thus far.

The Governor of South Dakota is suing the Biden administration because they won’t let her have a fireworks show on July 4 at Mount Rushmore. Which is federal property, btw, not state property.

DeSantis is about to sign a bill making it illegal for social media platforms to ban users. I can’t wait till he has to explain to the Florida taxpayers why he’s spending millions of dollars to defend this law from the multi million dollar lawsuits Twitter and Facebook will file immediately.

I would truly love to see Facebook and Twitter immediately block every account in Florida. Let DeSantis ride that one out! Every grandparent in the state would be out after his hide.

Does any Republican ever have any other intended audience these days?

Hell, let’s cut off internet service to Florida, period. Let them all go walk on the beach or read books or something. Phone service can continue-- but land lines only.

I wonder how big Florida based companies like Disney World, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Publix Stores will react to being cut off from social media marketing.

Move out of state?

No, no, no. I’ve got rational friends down there, and we’d lose Stonekettle, too.

Mr. Wood, Mr. Giuliani, and Ms. Powell have NO EVIDENCE of anything.

(I forgot Sidney Powell’s name for second [possibly blocked it out?] so I googled "crazy republican lawyer - first result)

Stonekettle blocked me, and I have absolutely no idea why.

A federal judge has ordered the “vote counting” company “reviewing” the votes in Arizona to turn over their documents which explain their procedures. But the documents don’t explain why they are using UV light on the ballots, which ballot experts claim could damage the documents.
The company tried to fight the order, claiming turning over their processes would reveal their trade secrets.
