NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have broken up after 39 years because lead singer Dicky Barret has gone anti-vax.

Seems we have an answer to whether he’s a coward or not. At least that’s the impression that I get.

He’d just never been tested. Turns out he failed.

Rand Paul once again fails in an attempt to be clever.

No, save Anita Hill for when Clarence Thomas kicks the bucket. That would be sweet.

Oh, great idea!

The poetic justice would be sweet, but then you miss the opportunity to rub it in Thomases face while he’s still alive. Coming into work every day to see Anita’s smiling face looking at him and saying “you didn’t beat me, motherfucker”, has a sweetness of its own.

I read the whole article and all I can say is, rhetorically, what in god’s name is wrong with these people?

They’ve been groomed for decades by the right-wing media never to think critically but rather to believe all sorts of extreme paranoid bullshit without question. And here we are.

If it wasn’t so frightening it would be hilarious.

This is how we get kid-fucking, blood-draining libruls in the basement of a pizza place that has no basement.

This is how we get plots to have “the military” seize voting machines to prove voter fraud when there is no evidence of fraud.

This is how we get people downing algacide and deworming pills instead of getting a vaccination.

This is how we get people at a rally expecting JFK to show up.

A Michigan state legislature candidate, endorsed by Individual 1, suggests that people bring guns to their voting places to make sure that people vote the right way. He also suggested that people unplug voting machines.

Naturally, the candidate himself won’t bring any guns, because the one thing these types are, even more than sedition traitors, is cowards. “I didn’t mean actual guns, or actual violence, I was just talking.”

Although I will say that Marianna Wright probably could have handled the that individual incident better.

Not that I entirely blame her since its hard to think strategically in the heat of the moment, but when confronted with a couple of paranoid provocateurs its best to avoid taking actions that could be interpreted as supporting their delusions. Trying to prevent them from recording the encounter by stealing their phone and them prevent them from leaving even if they stole yours is just going to be seen as evidence that you were hiding something. Probably the best thing would be to give them a tour explaining the wonder of butterflies, or if there were concerns about the integrity of the habitat tell them they need to leave and call the police to charge them with trespassing if they don’t.

What, in the good name of Jerry Korab, does Ted Cruz think he makes even the slightest fucking sense…

I guess the GOP are at least being more honest these days in really really explicitly saying the quite part out loud.

Oh, now Cruz is concerned about Garland’s feelings? Thanks for speaking up six years ago, jagoff.

After Ron DeSantis’s spokeswoman suggested that the Nazi demonstrators in Orlando might have been Democrats, she deleted the post.

Some days you eat the gas-lighting; some days the gas-lighting eats you.

(Videos from the many posted on Twitter Saturday shows the “Democrats” doing some very intensive play-acting, apparently; wait for the end of the 1:19-minute one for the White Power! chant:

Very true.

Republicans in the New Hampshire state legislature have proposed a law banning negative depictions of US history, such as the role of racism in the nation’s founding. The bills authors describe its purpose as ensuring the loyalty of teachers, and banning the teaching of subversive doctrines.
