NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

If he had been paying attention, he would have realized that she wasn’t afraid to go “bare knuckles” against anyone. And come out on top.

He is a professional chess player and a professional kickboxer, but he came to fame when he was on the British “Big Brother”, which usually has C-list celebrities on it, and he made homophobic and misogynistic comments, and became the darling of the right wingosphere. He got kicked off the show when he hit a woman with a belt, although she later said it was consensual. He runs a website that claims to show how to make women want men by being hateful to the women.

Lovely.

Certainly stupid from a GOP viewpoint… but oh yes please from elsewhere in the political spectrum:

On his Truth Social website, Trump posted a link to an editorial from MAGA publication American Greatness in which author Dan Gelernter compared Trump to the late President Teddy Roosevelt, whose unsuccessful third-party bid in 1912 handed the White House to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

Gelernter concedes that Trump running as a third-party candidate in 2024 would likely also hand Democrats the White House, but he suggests it would be worth it to teach the Republican Party a lesson about defying its base…

I can’t see him putting in the work for a real third-party run, but even just incessantly ranting to his followers that the nomination was RIGGED and STOLEN might be enough… :laughing:

Here’s snippet of his kickboxing record from wiki

I think we should encourage him to run third party, though that’s entirely based on my assumption that it would split the republican party or at least peel enough votes away that it costs them a few elections. Plus, it would act as a good way to separate MAGAs from the saner republicans. I wonder if the non-maga R’s would be willing to lose a few elections if it meant weeding them out?

Oh man, I don’t think I have enough popcorn for watching all the fun freakouts we’ll get when this guy finds out that it’s virtually impossible to “teach a lesson” to any Republicans these days…

Great job on the addition to his kickboxing record! Just brilliant…

Guess whose turn it is to get thrown under the bus?

I really hate to admit it, but I’m in agreement with the Pillow Guy on this one.

“Sean Hannity is disgusting,” Lindell told the website. “He’s a terrible journalist that does not do his job

Awww. This thread? Schadenfreude thread?

And the woman he was married to…was Morgan Fairchild.

The Omnibus Stupid MFers thread had the scoop on this one, and has a lot of better posts about it already.

(Really I do not know what the heck is specifically “republican” about this putz.)

Hannity is as much of a journalist as Glen Beck or Alex Jones.

Magachuds love him because he’s a wimp’s idea of a tough guy and an incel’s idea of a ladies’ man.

Misogyny, arrogance, human-trafficking, dick-waving, shooting off same-said dick oneself. All characteristic R qualities. The only thing not-R about him is how he ended up in jail. Somehow actual Rs seem to avoid proper justice.

But this is all happening in Romania.

Lest there be any lingering doubt about Tate’s intent,

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the conservative activist married to controversial Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, admitted in a deposition held earlier this year that she did not have any evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election, a transcript revealed Friday.

Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres, from the Bronx, has introduced a bill to require candidates to disclose under oath their employment, educational, & military history. He’s calling it the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) ACT.
