NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

Do you think their copies of the Constitution have a typo? Maybe they think it says,

secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Prosperity

There are three candidates named Eric in the running

So it’s sort of like betting the field in horse racing.

[Guest-starring_Id]

At least no half-bees.

[MrAtoz]

I notice he didn’t actually endorse “Eric.” He endorsed “ERIC.”

Perhaps he is recommending the Education Resources Information Center for the office.

[Johnny_L.A]

Eric the half-a-bee.

I’m going with Greiten, seems like his kind of guy.

We have some doofus running for governor who is very concerned about our childrens’ education. He doesn’t “Co-parent with the government” and is very upset about transpeople reading stories to children at school. There is more idiocy in the commercial, but I digress. His parting “shot” is that his pronouns are "conservative … and a few other words that are NOT pronouns. This joker has the balls to question people reading to kids. At least these folks might actually be able to read and understand the parts of speech.

Senator Tim Scott says he is not running for President, even though his own book is saying he is.

@SwissMan

there’ll be renewed calls on the right to persecute gay/trans teachers.

You mean they’ve stopped calling for that?

@Rick_Kitchen

even though his own book is saying he is.

“Oh, that’s just a typo.”

How would we be able to tell?

Lauren Boebert argues against a ban on assault weapons because those guns were taken away from the citizens of Venezuela and now Venezuelans eat their dogs.

You absolutely cannot make up this shit.

Georgia has declared that fetuses can be declared as dependents on their parents’ state taxes.

Embryos can be listed as dependents on tax returns, Georgia rules

[Kimstu]

From your link:

Anthony Michael Kreis, a Georgia State University law professor and political scientist, tweeted that some pregnancies detected within six weeks of gestation “result in natural miscarriages”, which could leave the Georgia’s treasury “handing out a lot of cash for pregnancies that would never come to term.”

Good. I am already on record as stating that the embryo-personhood position needs to entail automatic tax credits:

At the very least, it should follow that everyone who could possibly get pregnant should automatically get a child tax credit every year.

Under current regulations, a child who dies shortly after birth may still qualify for a child tax credit. And “undetected pregnancies”, which are terminated by an early miscarriage without anybody realizing that a pregnancy ever occurred, are not at all uncommon.

If every fertilized ovum, no matter how short-lived, is now to be considered a fully human person, then anybody who conceived and carried one for even the briefest space of time is entitled to parental benefits.

The requirement that the claimed “person” has to demonstrate “a detectable human heartbeat” in order to qualify for an exemption is blatant age-related discrimination against younger embryos, IMHO, and I think Georgia needs to be sued for it.

[DesertDog]

Won’t somebody think of the blastulas?

For the first time in my life, I want to be an attorney so that I could participate in this lawsuit. It would be the bestest suit ever.

[Euphonious_Polemic]

I may not have a neural tube yet, but dammit, my embryonic germ disc has started to elevate, so I want my tax credit!

Georgia has declared that fetuses can be declared as dependents on their parents’ state taxes.

The next article will state that Georgia has removed tax exemptions for dependents.

[Railer13]

Let’s take it a step farther, shall we? Some tests can determine pregnancy as early as 10 days after conception. ISTM that a positive pregnancy test is proof of a ‘person’.
