NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Four Republican candidates for Governor of Michigan have been removed from the ballot for filing forged petition signatures.

Ted Cruz is whining about how “liberal elites” who support gun control hire bodyguards. Cruz pays the most for bodyguards in the whole Senate.

I still don’t understand that accusation of hypocrisy.

“You don’t want guns in the hands of the criminal and irresponsible, so how is it that you hire people who are professionally trained to carry them?”

Not that it needs to make sense to feed the red meat to his hateful base. In fact, the less relation to reality and reason it is, the better.

Herschel Walker’s son just announced that he likes men, but he isn’t gay.

I think the idea is something like: Liberal elites have armed bodyguards to protect them, but normal hard-working Americans can only depend on themselves for protection. IOW, liberal elites have their protection, but want to take away yours.

So it isn’t hypocrisy for Cruz to also have armed bodyguards, because he’s not not trying to take guns away from hard-working Americans.

Of course, the whole thing is ridiculous because liberals, elite or not, aren’t trying to take away anyone’s guns.

I’m ok with however he identifies himself. I don’t like the hate, but he can be a straight man who likes men.

It is not so much how he identifies himself so much as how he misidentifies gays.

Exactly. He thinks that being sexually attracted to other men does not mean he’s gay.

He defines gay as “going to gay bars” and “indoctrinating children”.

Dude is a bit confused. I have gone to a gay bar. I have taught children (“indoctrinated” them"). However, I am very much attracted to women. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

IMO, it’s more that they think that being “anti gun,” as they would put it, means being against them in every context and circumstance, like a pacifist. It’s the same reason they always assume that they’d be the only ones armed in their revolutionary fantasies and why they think “I have a black friend” inherently means they’re not racist.

Senate candidate Billy Long (Q-MO) says that, if elected, he’ll force Kamala Harris to resign, get Biden to appoint Loser Donald as his new VP, then force Biden to reaign.

DeSantis is uber-creepy (as well as dangerous). Look at the photo accompanying that story—how many hours do you suppose he spends staring in the mirror and trying to duplicate Donald’s expressions???

Among my daily meditations is the hope that Donald will become mightily threatened by DeSantis’s success, and will exert himself to expunge him (the way the GOP establishment exerted itself to punish and exile Madison Cawthorn). I’d almost be grateful to Donald, revolting as that thought is, should he succeed in bringing down DeSantis.

De Santis has announced that he is going to veto a new spring training facility for the Tampa Bay Rays since they came out in support of gun control.

DeSantis has announced that he wants to block transition care for transgender youth, and for Medicaid recipients of any age.

I wonder if DeSantis has ever read about Ernst Röhm and what happened to him when he started aspiring to outshine his master.

Good point. Supposedly DeSantis is well-educated. But on the other hand, any chance that someone could snap a candid shot of him reading could hurt his electoral chances. Them voters don’t hold with no book larnin’!

Also, DeSantis’ ego probably protects him from any idea that he’s not fated to rule. He’s probably confident that Trump can’t do much to him (and that actually could be correct, more’s the pity).

Serious question regarding both the liar Boebert and her tan liar hero TFG: Has either one ever told a joke? The only time I hear from either of them that they were joking is when the nonsense they spew hits the news. What gets me about that, though, is why they try to cover it up as joking; their base believes it, so why not go for it whole hog?

Dollars to donuts that’s EXACTLY how Ingraham (not to mention MTG) pronounces that word!

Actually, you don’t want to mess with Korean netizens/online vigilantes. Check out the Dog poop girl incident.

Can we trade him for Huey Long?
