NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

He would probably say overweight women are less likely to be raped.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of parents and children.” / s

Except that fucking repugs want to ban that, too.

Wasn’t he the one promising to eliminate rape?

“If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.”

–Some Republican somewhere, probably

I think that’s an old Bobby Knight line.

Simplest thing in the world to do. Legislate it away. If there’s no longer any such thing in law as rape, then it’s been eliminated, right?

Individual 1-endorsed candidate for Governor of Wisconsin calls for his supporters to take up pitchforks and torches against the “liberal media”.

Congressman Doug Gilliam says if a 12 year old is raped, she can get an ambulance to take her to Walmart for Plan B.

Gee, I wonder why this is happening:

Gift link.

It’s characterized as an opinion piece, but the author is a Democratic strategist, and he cites good stats for his opinion.

Coming in very very late, and perhaps I’m missing your targeted humor, but calling a rumored closeted gay dude “Lady G” - an effeminate slur - is just not okay. I fucking hate Lindsey Graham for a lot of reasons, but I don’t need more reasons and neither should you. If you meant it some other way, fine and I apologize, but this kind of shit is not okay. Call him an asshole (definitely), sleezebag (yup), whatever. But please have the courage to call him those things, not a homophobic slur. Thanks. And if this is a bit strong I apologize and thanks for reading. On edit I softened this a little, but seriously, calling someone a girlyman? Not okay. Thanks, @Smapti

Honestly, if LG is closeted, that has to be a weird and lonely place for the man. His self hatred and/or fear and/or denial must be immense. But not my business at all.

I don’t think it counts as a slur if, as purported, it’s the actual nickname he uses for himself in the DC gay community.

And if it isn’t, then frankly I’m not concerned about calling out a closeted gay man who uses his position of authority to actively hurt and make life harder for other LBGT people.

Umm, Doug? That’s not how ambulances usually work. You’re thinking of a taxi or something like an Uber.

And it’s certainly not how any kind of transportation is going to work when the republicans finally get around to enacting the same restrictions on women and girls that the other Taliban have enacted.

And then what, she can go back home and get raped by her father again?

More Nick Adams:
“President Trump’s home is sacred hallowed ground, the FBI should not be allowed to conduct illicit raids on any Trump properties.”

I didn’t realize Trump was a Highlander.

I clearly remember when all of this was reported and getting a lot of buzz. What I’ve never understood or heard a good explanation for is why it all suddenly went POOF and the story vanished and Harding shut up about it.
