NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Oh man, how great would it be to have an actual legal opinion that JAQing off is really just a bullshit way to argue for something, without actually taking a stand?

Does M&M really plan to mollify the right by replacing the diverse cadre of M&Ms with a half Black half Jewish women who stars in the far leftist SNL.

I wonder if their advertising campaign will be primarily directed at making fun of the controversy, with the M&Ms making a triumphant come back in the end.

Yeah, this has “troll the alt-right” written all over it.

I hope so.
While I feel bad for Maya, or anyone else who’s almost certainly going to be offended by the right wing rhetoric surrounding this, I like the idea of putting a bigger and brighter spotlight on people that aren’t just being racist/sexist, they’re being racist/sexist for such stupid fucking reasons. C’mon, Lizzo played a flute? M&Ms aren’t sexy enough? And now a black woman…Ya know what, I bet half the people that will eventually have a problem with her will don’t even currently realize she’s black. Lets see how many people are happy with her (or at least neutral) in this new role until they find out only looks white, then they’ll suddenly have all kinds of reasons why she shouldn’t have that job.

Kari Lake will not go away. Having a rally on the day of the lord? What would Hobby Lobby think?

That’s a terribly-designed poster.

Yes, being in a picture with a “respected businessman” is a great idea!

I know! Didn’t the mobster know who trump was? How embarrassing.

I predict she is going to found her own MAGA MEGA-church. In that picture, she’s wearing pseudo-clerical garb, and the Arizona flag behind her head is supposed to look like a halo. Gonna give Joyce Meyer a run for her money (literally).

TV evangelism is a much more stable money generating machine venture than having to keep running for public office every few years. You can offer people Eternal Salvation, FFS! Can’t beat that! She will soon have her own TV station. So people can come up to the screen, touch her virtual face, and be healed–after they send in a check. “We also accept credit cards, gold, and bitcoin-- HALLELUJAH!” Operators are standing by!

Don’t forget the cross on her necklace and the lectern/pulpit she’s standing behind. Even if she’s not actually starting a church, that picture is definitely aimed at attracting the evangelical cohort.

Now this song can be in everyone else’s head for the rest of the day too.

That expression on her face is as if she’s seeing straight into The Promised Land!
Let the congregation say AMEN!

Reminiscent of this:

To me, it evokes something more like

Oh good. I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that.

Aren’t most parolees required to avoid association with known felons? I’m surprised Merlino’d risk it.

Fox News is outraged that XBox has “gone woke”… by introducing a new power-saving idle mode.

Get ready to see people tweeting pictures of their four-figure electric bills to “own the libs”.

…and I’m pretty sure it isn’t even “new”. My Xboxes have had various levels of “power down” for at least two generations now. The difference here is that the “most powered down” option will be the default, so you’ll have to actively choose one of the other modes.

This has some minor impact on how fast the machine boots, and also some remote usages (controlling the Xbox from your PC, smart phone, and the like), but if you care about that, you can go back to the other modes. I don’t think I’ve ever used the remote control things, and the boot time on new gen consoles is so fast, I’m pretty sure I’d never notice the difference. It takes longer to kick the cat out of my chair than to boot up the system, anyways.

Classified documents were found at Mike Pence’s house.

Keri Lake Joyce Meyer , staring into distance, smug expression, thought bubble [They are such suckers!]

I’m starting to think I should search my place.
