NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

And now, one with a happy ending;

Last month, the mayor of Ridgefield, MS announced that he was withholding $110,000 from the county library system unless they purged all “homosexual materials” from their shelves.

Subsequently, a GoFundMe organized by furries has raised $110,000 for the library.

Rick Scott has published a pamphlet containing his “Plan To Rescue America”, and it is horrid.

If you don’t have the stomach to read the whole thing (and I don’t blame you, I feel like throwing up after reading it), it contains such “brilliant” ideas as;

  • Tax hikes for the poor
  • Pay cuts and a salary cap for government employees
  • Mandatory recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance
  • More qualified immunity
  • Finish the border wall and name it after Loser Donald
  • Declare “socialism” an Enemy Combatant
  • Prohibit raising the debt ceiling
  • A five-year sunset on ALL federal laws
  • Military ballots which arrive after Election Day cannot be counted
  • Public shaming of single mothers
  • Ban pornography and cuss words
  • Ban transgender people
  • Give businesses the right to discriminate against anyone they want
  • Quit the UN

Dwight D. Eisenhower would have personally kicked your ass if you gave him this pamphlet. Today it’s what passes for mainstream Republican policy.

How on earth someone this insane gets within a thousand miles of elected office is beyond me.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Florida.

This is part of the problem with fighting this - it isn’t insanity, it is evil and knowing your voters. The people he needs to support him agree with almost all of that (they may disagree with one or two items, but support most of the list so “Go Ron! Win your next NASCAR race!”

I am 100% certain that there was an earlier draft of this that included the word “kill”.

I posted that very thing over in the Evil Republicans thread.

Walker.

Actually, “Shrub” works well because it so easily morphs into “Shrubya.”

All of which is moot to me because I always just called him Bush the Lesses (thanks, Unca Cece, for teaching me that obscure term for feces).

Apropos of nothing in particular, I’m pretty sure a cattle baron such as Mr. Nunes has a LOT of cows, any one of whom might be eager to try their hand hoof at becoming a social media star.

Disclaimer: The above is not intended to be taken as a “call to action”; it is merely an implication that I would find it hilarious if somebody, or some somebodies, did it.

Not Dopers, though. That would be bad

Sometomes you just have to put a face on shit, and while I won’t post a pic, I’ll just do this rap sheet, from wiki, instead:

Seems like a responsible public servant.

I see all the necessary qualifications to run for president. :+1:t3:

Not enough grifting.

Why do people vote in candidates who are obviously, clearly, unequivocally mentally ill? I mean she is exhibiting classical paranoid schizophrenic symptoms. She’s not normal. She’s a danger to herself and others. She should be under medical supervision.

Sounds like a normal Idaho Republican to me.

This is all the result of liberal tolerance. Remember Randall Patrick McMurphy and the days when it was ok, even encouraged, to mock and belittle people with mental illness? Then along came the bleeding heart types who told us we have to treat them with decency and respect. Now, it seems, the full 180 has taken hold, such that we are expected to honor and revere derangement and psychosis and hold it above reason and sanity.

I mean, just because Hunter S. Thompson was able to turn crazy into high art does not mean that just anybody can try this at home.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has ordered the state Department of Family and Protective Services to begin the process to name the parents of trans kids as child abusers. His order will also require all law protection, medical professionals, and others responsible for reporting child abuse, to report to the state the parents of trans kids as child abusers.

Nitpick: Asshole Abbott is the governor. But the Attorney General is also an asshole. As is the Lt Governor.

Gotta agree, you’ve got the Trifecta of Dipshit going on right there.

Sigh. We do tend to go overboard.

So the government of Texas is like the command center of Spaceball One, then…
