Or, “If I descended from my grandparents, then why do I have cousins?”
Dumbass Lauren Boebert invents the rank of Lieutenant Corporal, which I believe was Radar’s rank before he was promoted to Corporal Captain.
Captain Corporal, I think.
Found the guy who didn’t read to the end of the sentence 
Oops.
The common ancestor of humans and, say, orangutans, would, by any reasonable taxonomic standard, also itself be considered an ape (not any species of ape that still exists, but still an ape). So it is fully correct to say that “humans came from apes”.
Or you can take the near view. I could quite truthfully say that I am descended from apes, because I’m descended from my mother and father, and from my grandparents, and so on, and all of them were apes.
I agree that your version represents a more legitimate (although still easily dismissed) criticism of evolution, and is probably the argument put forth by the more sophisticated creationism apologists like answers in genesis., but I highly doubt that that is the argument that Walker is making.
Walker’s target audience has a postage stamp level of understanding of how evolution is supposed to work and would not be able to arrive at that level of understanding if they weren’t led there directly. They are just looking for a quick pithy gotcha statement that makes sense on a gut level and requires no actual thinking on their part. The other one they like to use is “Were you there?”.
Amusingly nonsensical gotcha questions can also be used against them, as I have witnessed several creationists given pause by the question, “If Eve came from Adams rib, how come men and women have the same number of ribs?” without stopping to remember that an amputee usually has able bodied children.
I read somewhere that there is an actual Marine she is referring to, and that he is in reality a Lance Corporal. That she muddled up “Lieutenant Colonel” and “Lance Corporal” is not remotely the worst of her sins, but it remains amusing.
Your link was actually a 2 for 1 sale on Republican stupidity. When I clicked it, not only did I get the story on Boebert’s stupidity, but I also got a google ad for Tactical Traps with the tag line “Hidin from Biden”. They sell furniture that you can use to hide your guns from the guvmint, unless of course the ATF has web access and has and so recognizes your unusually thick flag decoration from their ad.
I had a teacher in high school who believed that women had more ribs than men. To her credit, she revised her view when presented with evidence.
Rather like Gazpacho Police it indicates someone who’s operating in a different reality than us, to put it kindly.
What did she do to deserve that?
I’m amused that the “Whiskey flag” hider, called that because it’s made from barrel staves, is called back to the Whiskey Rebellion. That ended poorly for the insurrectionists.
The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the will and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws…
It’s my version of, “bless her heart.”
HUAC will be bac?
I can think of at least 50 people right off the bat who should be hauled before that committee, but they’re probably not whom this wingnut has in mind.
Aristotle believed men had more teeth than women, but never bothered to count them.
Candace Owens thinks Ukraine was created by Russia, and didn’t exist till 1989. She also thinks Ukrainians speak Russian. Maybe she should pick up a book? Sorry, that’s not going to happen.
The Republican National Committee has officially said that Congess should not be investigating the 1/6 attack.
(It’s Newsweek, so consider the source.)
Peter Schiff:
" I understand times are hard, but doesn’t the President of the Ukraine own a suit? I don’t have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn’t address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn’t want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States."
