NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

Gesundheit.

Landscapers near Florence

:wink:

There is a town of Gesundheit in Arizona?

Oh, I think I have been through there, on the road from Phoenix to Tucson. I believe Florence is fairly well known as the town with the Grey Bar Hotel that hosts Arizona’s most deserving of a vacation. How pleasing it would be to see Individual-ONE getting a nice secure room there.

Fuck these guys:

The officials say Ducey can use a novel interpretation of the U.S. Constitution to have the National Guard or state police forcibly send migrants to Mexico without regard to immigration laws and law enforcement procedures. They would operate instead as a sort of military force repelling a foreign army.

“An invasion would normally be referenced in terms of a nation-state invasion, but when you look at these numbers, I think it’s safe to say that this is an invasion,” Rep. Jake Hoffman, a Queen Creek Republican, said at a news conference with about 20 other GOP lawmakers.

Hey, if we’re just gonna call it like we see it then I’m glad we call all agree that 6 January 2021 was a fucking rebellion and Trump colluded with Russia back in 2016.

It’s down by Why.

Since when does the federal Constitution say anything at all about the powers of a state’s governor? And since when does a governor have “war powers”? Isn’t that reserved for the federal government?

I cannot believe I’m even thinking about these questions.

They seem to be basing this on Article I, Section 10;

That being said, I can’t imagine that even this Supreme Court would find that a disorganized mass of unarmed individuals (including women and children) from various countries crossing the border of their own volition constitutes an “invasion”.

More awfulness from AP article:

Right - that old fuck-knuckle; thought I’d forgotten about him.

Aw, lootbags. Thoughtful - fun! (skid - ERRRRCH!…Grab by shoulders, turn 180 degrees, push)

damn you’re still the fastest in the west. as rc blows smoke away from the .45 barrel.

The dosage levels recommended by Kory’s organization, however, are more consistent with transition-related care, or even higher.

I can hardly wait until Tucker Carlson unveils his spectacular new teats.

There needs to be a town of Smart AZ. It would have to be up across the river from Penis NV.

…and just over from Gunn UT, to form the Fir’dum Tri-Cities area.

The new Congress is sworn in on January 3, I believe. So it’s the Congress elected in November 2024 that would be certifying the Presidential electoral votes on January 6, 2025.

Since the Presidential ticket isn’t sworn in until January 20, the previous VP remains as president of the Senate until then.

Isn’t the American democratic system weird? And isn’t it strange none of this was ever an issue before Trump the Great and Powerful?

The new Democratic senators from Georgia weren’t sworn in until January 19th, so they still had a Republican majority on Jan 6th.

Over in Texas, three individuals identified as “potential terrorists” were caught crossing the border.

Of course, Tony Gonzales paints this as a terrorism emergency:

We’ve been hearing the “If we let them into our country, terrorism will follow” argument for decades now. It’s almost as if Republicans want a terrorist attack to happen just so they can say “I told you so”.

They want more than that.

After 9/11, Republicans were given extraordinary powers and deference. They’d really like to have that again to push forward with their authoritarian agenda.

“Biden is letting terrorists into the US!”

“How do you know that?”

“Because of all the terrorists Biden is catching before they enter the US!!!”

So much cognitive dissonance in just three sentences…
