NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

To think this lunatic obtained a license to be anybody’s doctor.

He escaped from the asylum? “Sigh, get your nets, he got out again”.

In all seriousness, is he trying to make a joke here? Because if he is serious, someone needs to look into his medical license to practice.

Another day, another “conservative Christian” leader caught trying to fondle his chauffeur’s dick.

I don’t know, why don’t we ask them? I’d expect that most of the students chanting it on college campuses don’t have any clue that some people use the same terms to advocate genocide. And heck, I imagine that most Palestinians, even, would be happy with an Israeli government that wasn’t dominated by Netanyahu and his extremists. It’s just too bad that Hamas has now completely sealed Netanyahu’s hold on power for the foreseeable future.

A lot of people I know are thinking just the opposite, that once things have calmed down a bit, Bibi’s incredible failure to pay attention to the warnings from the intelligence services means that he will be out, pronto, and with any luck, in jail as well. He’ll obviously try to put the reckoning off as long as possible, but he’s got to go.

And now Tucker Carlson’s “open” to being a flat-earther.

Tucker Carlson’s descent into pushing conspiracies hit a scientific new low as the former Fox News host suggested in a new interview that he’s open to the theory that Earth may actually be flat.

Speaking to the Blaze’s Alex Stein (via Meidas Touch), Carlson was asked about the Flat Earth theory. “Well, I’m open to anything,” he replied. “How could I not be open to anything at this point? I mean, there’s been so much deception that you can’t trust your preconceptions.”

So, there you have it, science, actual science, is just a preconception one cannot trust.

Someone should tell ol’ Tucker that Science says not to drink bleach.

I’m sure it’s been covered and will just accept a yes/no answer: has there been any suggestion that Bibi knew/suspected that the attack was coming? Similar to the “9/11” conspiracies? I don’t believe the idea (fully) but I’m sure it’s been floated.

I’m afraid much of what I’ve heard is second-hand from people who have read the news reports, so no immediate cites, but I understand that intelligence knew about the build up and reported it, but he was too busy trying to bust the supreme court.

However, this article in the NYT (gift link) says that it was the military and intelligence services that didn’t believe it, and Netanyahu may not have seen it. But I’m sure many will claim he still bears the responsibility for not preventing it.

Thank you.

No. He’ll figure it out or win a Darwin award trying.

So…reject the evidence of your eyes and ears?

Funny how often these guys, the party of ‘do your own research’, come right out and tell you not to trust your eyes and ears.

At least if they’re going to believe something stupid, being a flat-earther is probably one of the more harmless directions they could go.
OTOH, I guess we can’t rule out a flat-earther getting elected to a high enough position to cause problems.

Unfortunately, unlike his viewers, he’s not an actual moran. He just plays one on TV, to con his fans and keep those big bux rolling in.

You know, I can’t help but wonder what it must be like when someone like that meets — in a situation where it’d be appropriate to showcase that persona — someone else who (a) likewise talks like that but (b) likewise doesn’t believe a word of it.

If his viewers want to drink bleach, they can have a Darwin award too.

Not anymore. Now he’s just playing a moron on [checks internet because I have no idea where he ended up]…The Tucker Carlson Network, a new streaming service and (formerly?) doing interviews on X.
I’m guessing there’s no Big Bux rolling in these days.

Don’t you have to be childless to win a Darwin award? I thought the whole idea was that you did something stupid enough to prevent you from reproducing.

Not a disqualification.

The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee. Children inherit only half of each parent’s genetic material and thus have their own chance to survive or snuff themselves. If, for instance, the offspring has inherited the “Play With Combustibles” gene, but also has inherited the “Use Caution When…” gene, then she is a potential innovator and asset to the human race. Therefore, each nominee is judged based on whether or not she has removed her own genes, without consideration to the number of offspring or, in the case of an elderly winner, the likelihood of producing more offspring.

I was always under the impression that, technically, you have to be younger than child bearing age. The idea being that you’re doing something stupid (and fatal) before you’re physically able to reproduce. But, to be honest, I’ve not given it much thought beyond that.

I think people try to stay away from making fun of kids getting killed doing stupid things and it’s now just a generic term for anyone doing something stupid and possibly fatal.
