This can’t be real. I mean, I can understand a random moron with a placard saying “get your government hands of my Medicare”, but this?
No. Got to be a parody. (checks to see if link goes to the Onion)
Suck more money out of the pockets of the rubes. I’ve asked this before - what happens when all these morons run out of money?
They will blame their poverty on how the Democrats taxed them into destitution to give welfare money to “the wrong people”.
@Snowboarder_Bo We currently are giving the welfare money to the wrong people. Fucking welfare corporations.
They have a theme song for that party already.
Stefanik has learned that there is no level of misrepresentation—from the ridiculous to the dangerous—that GOP voters won’t swallow.
She knows that a lot of her voters do indeed value their Medicare and Medicaid. So she simply labels them ‘Capitalism’ and can rest assured that those voters will never realize that M&M are fully-realized socialist programs.
Win - win from her point of view (the big donors love a Republican who can lie extravagantly with a straight face).
But but but… could there be more than 2% who are actually fooled by this? Tell me that most constituents are not this bone-stupid.
I’ll tell you that only if you promise not to believe me.
Suspecting that the infamous ‘lady with the “Keep your Damned Government Hands off my Medicare” sign’ was NOT an outlier, I did an image search for “off my Medicare” and found:
So, yeah: many, many stupid people are ready, willing, and able to swallow whatever lies Ms. Stefanik cares to shovel into them.
So this is what it feels like to vapor lock.
Sorry, but no can do.
Sure, they aren’t ‘bone stupid’. More like a bag of hammers. Sharp as marbles they are.
One of my faves: “Dumb as a box of hair.”
Could’ve gone in maskhole thread, too.
My sadness for this result also could’ve put this in the schadenfraude thread.
And speaking of the Repubs’ toxic maskholery:

Not a clue about the source, but at least the straight-ahead info stands.
These people are stark raving lunatics with a death wish!
MTG is like some evil Eddie Haskell on steroids, behaving like a deranged middle-schooler putting tacks on teachers’ chairs and bags of dog poop in the other kids’ lockers-- except this is a deadly disease she’s screwing around with. She appears not to have one scrap of mature awareness or judgment. And all of it is playing to the camera.
Wait… aren’t she and her fellow Republicans the ones who don’t like the “wall” that Democrats set up???
America’s political discourse is reduced to the level of arguing with imbecilic children.
Not sure where this belongs, but this thread kinda works. Just saw an ad, on this site, with text “At 80, Anthony Fauci is still with his partner”. Which initially made me think, huh, I did not know he was gay. So I checked, and his “partner” is Christine Grady, whom he married some 36 years ago and had 3 daughters with. So, who the fuck (I did not click on it) is tryna mess with people?
I have a book called Golfing for Cats with a big swastika on the cover. It’s a collection of humorous essays. In the preface, the author explains that the three best-selling topics for books are golf, cats, and Nazi Germany, so this title was a guaranteed success.
You may not have clicked on the link but I bet other people did.
What I find ironic is that a bunch of GOP House members were milling around the Senate, unmasked, as some sort of protest against having to wear masks. Then later in the day they were visiting “political prisoners” (aka “insurrectionists” or “traitors”) at the DC jail, and suddenly they all had masks on!
I do have to wonder if this might be an attempt to get away from a more gender specific title for a spouse, like husband or wife. I am just wondering, not saying it is. But you know, it is 2021 so who knows.
