NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

In the article, it said that it was library people who were surprised that the millage was voted down. The folks voting against it are saying that the library will give in and then they’d be willing to vote for it. Whether the library will actually close hasn’t been determined.

I wanted to smack that one woman who said it wasn’t a political issue, it was a biblical one.

Lady*, this country is not run to make followers of your particular myth happy. Go suck eggs.

*The idiot lady, NOT ThelmaLou, who is an excellent poster.

Individual 1’s favorite doctor, Stella Immanuel, lost her lawsuit against CNN because they quoted what she said.
(the only link I could find is behind a paywall).

So what did she say?


“So, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that indeed you can help an unlimited number of people vote if they are disabled or can’t read or speak English, which raises the question, should they be voting?” she said during the September 2020 radio interview, which occurred less than a week after the ruling.

I guess from there it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to Should they be allowed to live?

I just saw a political ad from pharma-dot-org. According to Big Pharma, if the Democrats pass legislation to allow price negotiations and controls, there won’t be any medicine and people die horribly in searing pain.

As a citizen of a nation with price controls on pharmaceuticals, I can assure you that there is no medicine to be found anywhere.

Uh… does someone want to tell her she’s not White?

I can’t figure out if this is some sophisticated critique about White privilege, or if she was trying to use it to get out of the ticket… MAGA logic I suppose.

Anyhoo, an update: A woman flashed a 'white privilege' card after being pulled over. Now, officers are in trouble for letting her go.

Well, this is a key plank in the Democratic platform, as well as a lifelong personal goal of Joe Biden, namely, to cause the painful, senseless deaths of lots and lots of people. I mean, the Dems are Satan’s minions, right? Ask any Republican and they will confirm. Q.E.D.

Peter Doocy, the intellectual sage in the WH press corps, asks Karine Jean-Pierre a well thought-out question:

I can only conclude that Peter Doocy is into humiliation, and has noticed that while dominatrices are expensive White House press conferences are free.

For him, anyway. Everyone else certainly pays a price.

Here is a Newsweek article from last year when the suit was filed.

The Texas doctor who became famous in 2020 for promoting the use of Hydroxychloroquine [HCQ], an anti-malarial drug, as “a cure” for COVID-19 has filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN and CNN anchor, Anderson Cooper in the amount of $100 million.

In the suit, Immanuel says Cooper and CNN “effectively caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands whose lives would have been spared if they had been treated early with HCQ.”
[…]
After the video started to gain traction on social media, Anderson Cooper and CNN began making statements to debunk Immanuel’s claims. One CNN video said Dr. Immanuel was “spreading conspiracy theories on COVID-19” and promoted an “unproven drug, hydroxychloroquine.”

When asked what she’ll do if she’s elected to Congress, Sarah Palin said she would reopen investigations into Hillary’s emails and Benghazi, and she thinks Congress should hold rallies on the steps of the Capitol.

Monster truck Snow machine rallies of course.

I was thinking more like rallies with pointy white hats.

Red ball caps are the new Klan hoods, get with the times!

One seditious attack on the Capitol wasn’t enough for her.

Oh, sure, I know that’s what he meant. By the same token, at the start of last year, I gave all my students a questionnaire where one of the questions was “What are your pronouns?”, and one of my students answered “Man”. Clearly he understood the essence of the question, and his response made his answer clear (and he didn’t have any problems with those students who answered “they/them”).

But at the same time, if an anti-trans hater is going to give us such an easy time to mock conservative, then I’m totally going to take advantage of that opportunity to mock conservative.
