NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 2)

Making an AI listen to that much Trump is how the AI apocalypse starts.

Alabama Senator Tuberville says the quiet part, WHITE SUPREMACY, out loud. Aides scramble to tone it down and backtrack.

"… Tuberville’s office clarified those remarks to a publication in his home state, telling AL.com that Tuberville’s comment “shows that he was being skeptical of the notion that there are white nationalists in the military, not that he believes they should be in the military,…”

Trumper (backed PABs attempt to overthrow the US Government), climate denier, ACA repeal advocate, PAB wall backer, fake charity, …holds every hate and spite filled GQP fever dream as his guiding principle. Was so weak a candidate, aides kept him from debates and public appearances during his “campaign” against Dem. Doug Jones.

Currently holds, “STUPIDEST SENATOR” ranking despite strong competition from Markwayne Mullins (Idiot - OK).

Tuberville’s wiki contains much of the damning evidence of him as a human being. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Tubervillehttps://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/10/tuberville-office-white-nationalist-comments-00096324

Hey, Dan Bongino, tell me you don’t know who Stephen King is without telling me you don’t know who Stephen King is.

Who’s Dan Bongino?

Meanwhile, this happened:

Service guarantees citizenship.

Arbeit macht frei

Bob Heinlein is either proud or aghast. Or both. Somebody tell Verhoeven so he’ll wreck this idea too.

I’m dismayed that Stephen King replied “Yes” to that post.

True. I don’t think he thought that one through.

Making people pass a civics test before voting isn’t the worst idea I’ve ever heard, but I don’t think it’s likely to weed out the kind of voters that Vivek thinks it will.

We more or less tried ‘testing’ voters back in the Jim Crow days. It was a deliberate and effective attempt at disenfranchisement.

It’s hardly surprising that somebody who wants to deliberately disenfranchise the ‘wrong’ sort would call for a return to those days.

Ditto the suggestion to raise the voting age to 25. I bet he’d love to say “nobody under the age of 50” but couldn’t figure out a way to spin that. If you’re old enough to be tried in court as an adult, you are old enough to vote

Depends on who is writing and grading the test.

This probably deserves its own thread: teaching snowflakes about actual snow (10 months out of the year).

And they’re going to hire John Travolta and Arye Gross to run the place.

Wow, I’m impressed by that reference. There must only be like 3 people who ever watched that movie

An underrated masterpiece.

Four.

Add me to the count.

I think I make six.

Add me too! I enjoyed that movie.
