NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Steve Bannon is calling on 4000 “shock troops” to dismantle the government brick by brick.

The blurb that shows up on the image starts

Am I the only one to see the irony in a group calling themselves a “Freedom Caucus” trying to stifle activities of someone else?

Sigh, I know: Freedom for me, none for thee.

This is really going to help the judge when he decides Bannon’s prison sentence for contempt of congress…

Here’s hoping that Bannon is a very helpful person.

I had that exact same thought in the Bannon specific thread:

Because he would never be able to comply with a gag order, meaning a new violation of court orders for which he could be charged with an additional crime.

The gasbagging he does on his podcast will only demonstrate a lack of remorse for his contempt charge, which can be noted as a factor in aggravation – but nothing more. Nothing he actually says during his podcasts will count as a basis to impose more time except for the lack of remorse. Freedom of speech and all that.

It’s academic anyway, because as I pointed out in the P&E thread, gag orders are imposed to prevent prospective juror taint. I just thought it would be fun to watch him violate a court order.

There’s that. Plus:

'cause if he tried, his head would assplode. Either way, lots of fun.

Doug Mastiano’s Christian nationalist candidacy for Governor of Pennsylvania has announced that they don’t want the support of atheists and Jews like right wing commentator Josh Shapiro.

What is that supposed to mean??

Does he mean the Hebrew Scriptures, the Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, King James, later translations, or what?

They all sound kinda foreign. Just the American Bible, please!

That’s the beauty of it. It doesn’t mean anything!

The AMERICAN bible, written in ENGLISH by JESUS himself!

cough Ben. Josh is the fellow he’s running against, in case people are confused. Ben’s the half-wit who’s finally seeing some racist chickens come home to roost.

What’s kinda funny, though, is that the thought they failed to express is that no one in the Bible gets too worked up about what pronouns get applied to them. Except for God, of course, who demands that you use capitalized He/His/Him. At least in some translations.

One of my favorite parts of the Bible is when God speaks from the burning bush, proclaiming, “AM THAT AM.”

Let’s see how articulate you are when engulfed in flames.

“But they woulda! If they’d had trans people back then, I betcha Moses would have shouted about it all the time! Maybe Judas was trans and that’s why he betrayed Jesus!” Ugh, that felt too realistic.
