NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

This person appears to have a law degree from Georgetown, which only goes to show that one can earn a sheepskin merely by checking all the right boxes on the multiple-choice final exam. Her source for this bullshit appears to be a site called Abyssus Abyssum Advocat, run by a guy whose credentials include getting into the Catholic priesthood (which means everything he says must be true).

Loser Donald reportedly demanded in a White House meeting that Michigan’s secretary of state be executed.

The House has passed a bill to crack down on price gouging at gas stations by a vote of 217-207. Every single republican voted NO.

A Republican running for Congress in Virginia has sued Barnes & Noble and the school district for maing “obscene” books available to kids in school.

The Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania says he could choose a Secretary of State who could decertify the voting machines with the stroke of a pen.

The bill seems pretty dumb, frankly:

As far as I can tell, the aggravating factors limit it to an individual seller that’s charging a much higher price than others in the area–but that’s exactly the case that normal market forces already deal with easily. It does nothing to address overall price increases, or in addressing cartel-like behavior from suppliers. This one seems as much a case of “we’re trying to fix the problem but meanie Republicans are preventing it” as “the Democrats are doing nothing to stop the high prices”.

Rational people should be delighted by increased prices. They provide a strong market signal toward EVs. Increased demand for EVs increases their prices, which funds investment in battery factories and the like. All of this stuff is very expensive and takes years. Decades of artificially low fuel prices have set back the EV transition, and a minor amount of pain now is the price we pay for waiting so long.

And of course here Mastriano is breaking with Republican tradition by saying something that is fundamentally true.

The question is: what proportion of Pennsylvania voters are actually determined to deep-six democracy, and make Ben Franklin’s famous remark (“a republic, if you can keep it”) newly relevant?

There does indeed exist a wide gulf between knowledge and wisdom. We have far too many educated fools in this country.

The Wizard to Scarecrow: I can’t give you any brains but I can give you a diploma.

TBF, I think the Wizard’s gifts to each of Dorothy’s friends were intended as metaphors to illustrate that they possessed the qualities that they had sought all along, they just didn’t realize it. If I peered into the ear holes of some of these right wingers, however, I’m betting I could see all the way through to sunshine…

Through all that bone?

You could hear all the way to the sunshine on the other side. What does sunshine sound like, you ask? Orange. It sounds orange, and slightly vinegary.

Business Insider asked Elon Musk for comment on the sexual harassment story yesterday morning, just a few hours before he started panic-tweeting about fake news and declared that he’s now a Republican.

Welcome to the thread, Elon, you piece of shit!

I wonder if @nate will be along to explain how the big bad libtards left Elon with no choice but to whip his dick out in front of an employee.

A guy whose Twitter account says “Wendy’s Fry Cook - I like to make memes - PARODY.” tweeted that Costco was going to raise the price of their hot dogs by one dollar. It only took The GOP two hours to retweet it and blame Biden.

I don’t know where else to put this, but this is hilarious!

Similarly, a gas station in Auburn, WA, which is located near a racetrack and sells racing fuel not intended for street use, recently upgraded some of their pumps to display a four-digit price since that fuel is much more expensive than regular gas.

The alt-right rags are now breathlessly reporting it as proof that Biden is going to make you pay $10 for a gallon of unleaded.

You might could put it 45 posts ago. :smiley:

Alex Jones says men in the '60s had penises three times the size of men today.

Now according to Google, in 2020 the average penis size was 5.1-5.5 inches, so we can conclude that your typical Boomer was packing a johnson about 15-16 inches long. I know the readership of this board skews older - would any of you Titans Among Men (or the women who I assume were absolutely terrified of them on their wedding night) care to confirm this?

Is Alex speaking for himself?

Unlikely. Many woman have, upon seeing him, immediately said “What a massive dick.”
