NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Not that I believe him, but has he said what he does with the cops? Tell suspects his weird stories until they surrender?

“Whenever you’ve seen Batman, who is he with? Criminals, that’s who! You look in the old newspapers: every picture of Batman shows him with thugs and with thieves, and hobnobbing with crooks! Whereas my pictures show me always surrounded by whom? By the police! I am an associate of the law!”

— The Penguin

We got this thing in the Constitution about “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Technically, it is not “punishment” until after you are convicted. The police are allowed to be all kinds of ugly up to that point.

Firstly, there’s nothing in the 8th amendment that talks about conviction, guilty, or prisoner.

As to your second point, we have a whole thread bitching about ugly cops. What do you suppose would happen if we came across some poor schlub in a fetal position? “The cows… he kept talking about the cows.”

Herschel?

I thought Walker, in his story, was talking bull.

Cop adjacent – according to him.

“…and when the bull went up to those other cows, it turned out that they were actually cops…”

For those who missed it, here is the pdf of the wordsalad sent by some guy to the J6 committee.

Protip: It’s a bit more tolerable if you imagine it being read in Mark Hamill’s Joker voice.

Wow, that’s even more unhinged than usual. I’m surprised he allowed it to be sent out to the “Honorable” Bennie G. Thompson. You think that he would have added a dis.

He probably did, in the first draft.

OK, what the Hell is the context for this? Why does Carlson think Fetterman is a robot?

There you go, everyone: Ron Johnson thinks that being against America is admirable. He said so himself.

Fetterman has some lingering auditory processing issues from the stroke he had earlier this year, and uses a computer program to translate audio into text so he can read it. This has caused a number of ableist meltdowns even in the mainstream press, so you can imagine how the right wing outlets are handling it.

To everyone else, Re: USA… Back away slowly people… don’t look them in the eyes…

What are the four or five rational people left in the USA to do?

I’ll admit if he were running for President (and not the only Dem candidate) it might make me hesitant too. But I can’t see it being an impediment to this job.

When you lose the guy with Nixon tattooed on his back, even after you pardoned him,

The Michigan governors race has gone from stupid to hilariously surreal. The latest ad from Tudor Dixon announces that the radical liberal left wants a “Drag Queen” in every classroom. I giggle every time I see it. It just seems soooo very desperate. :laughing:
