NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Of course it’s illegal. He’s counting on his and Loser Donald’s judicial appointees to ignore the law and let him do whatever he wants. Fascists don’t let petty matters like the law or the Constitution get in the way of their will.

Ohio Republicans have passed a resolution demanding that the federal State Department put Canada on a religious watch list because they shut down churches during the pandemic, comparing them to China.

Ted Cruz:
The impact of President Biden being beholden to the Green New Deal radicals in his party has electricity costs through the roof in Texas.

Other than the fact that the Green New Deal hasn’t been implemented, and the Texas utilities are on an entirely separate grid, he’s just speaking facts here.

The fascists aren’t even lying about what they are anymore.

Blake Masters, a candidate for the Senate from Arizona, says gun violence is because of black people.

“The Arizona Senate candidate has a unique theory about why there’s a gun violence problem in the United States.”

Despicable but not unique.

And of course that theory would be his. (And what it is, too). (ahem) (ahem!)

Kyle Rittenhouse says he’s going to Texas A&M. Texas A&M says, no, he’s not.

Virginia judge rules that book stores cannot sell two YA books because they are “obscene”.

Unique? Fuck, we can go to the gun control threads in GD and find these arguments there word-for-word (minus one word, namely “black”).

Maybe he’s “going there” for other reasons. Does A&M have a clock tower?

If he means “go there” as in “attend”, he should see about getting his GED first.

Gangs seem to be important to a subsection of gun enthusiasts now.

What’s that whistling sound I hear? Barely audible, but there it is… Woof!

By “gangs”, they mean the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys, right?

How about the biggest gang of all? The Republican Party.

Is that LAPD or LASD?

Ken Paxton has decided to use the power of his office to help Elon Musk weasel out of buying Twitter.

I haven’t thought of Ms. Elk in years! (Thanks!)

On a less-pleasant note:

NBC’s Chuck Todd, still occupying the Meet the Press host chair despite the objections of millions, is upset that Biden doesn’t have a cult:

eta: I’m assuming here that Todd is either a Stupid Republican, or someone indistinguishable from a Stupid Republican.

He now says that he’s going to Blinn College, a community college that often serves as a feeder for transfer students to A&M. Blinn says that he’s applied for but not yet enrolled in any classes (which isn’t really saying much if he applied for the fall). Community colleges in Texas are open admission, so if he meets the admission requirements and can pay the tuition, he’s in.
