Not sure if this is subscribing to Lamarckism or flying in the face of the Constitutional provisions against the concept of “corruption of blood.”
I know, por que no Los dos?
That’s hilarious! Back when I was on shore duty, one of my coworkers used to go on about how impossible he was finding it to get the Mormon Church to accept that he had quit!
He can be mocked for being an idiot, but I feel sorry for the guy. He wants a messiah-like figure to give his life meaning and put all his eggs in the Trump basket. He was swindled and can’t acknowledge that, so he’s sticking with the fantasy.
I’m sure all that’s required is for him to send Trump another, oh, let’s say 50 bucks. That will be the answer.
Excellent point about the corruption of blood! It’s such a good point, I posted it over on Xitter hours before you made it. I must’ve been reading your mind.
Since I’ve moved away from The Beehive State I miss a lot of things that I’m sure made the news out there. I hadn’t heard about this, so thanks.
Whatever you call it, I understand that you really have to work at it to commit something so heinous that the Church wants to withdraw from you.
Yeah, that does sound kind of Papist.
When running for president, it’s always a good idea to threaten to deport members of the royal family, right?
I watched You Can’t Take it with You again for the first time in a long while. Two bits of dialog stood out from this 1938 movie.
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff: Penny, why don’t you write a play about Ism-Mania?
Penny Sycamore: Ism-Mania?
Grandpa: Yeah, sure, you know, Communism, Fascism, Voodooism, everybody’s got an -ism these days.
Penny: Oh. [laughs] I thought it was an itch or something.
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff: Well, it’s just as catching. When things go a little bad nowadays, you go out, get yourself an -ism and you’re in business.
and especially, this one,
Tony Kirby: That family of yours - boy, they knocked me for a loop. I don’t know, it just seems like in their own way, they found what everybody’s looking for. People spend their whole lives building castles in the air and then nothing ever comes of it. I wonder why that is? Well, it takes courage. Everybody’s afraid to live.
Alice Sycamore: You ought to hear Grandpa on that subject. You know, he says most people nowadays are run by fear; Fear of what they eat, fear of what they drink, fear of their jobs, their future, fear of their health. They’re scared to save money and scared to spend it. You know what his pet aversion is? The people who commercialize on fear: you know they scare you to death so they can sell you something you don’t need. So, he kinda taught all of us not to be afraid of anything, but do what we want to do. Well, it’s kinda fun, anyway.
Tony Kirby: Yeah, well that’s it. Well that takes courage, especially that ‘do what you want to do’ department.
A state senator in oklahoma, sponsoring a bill to restrict their rights, calls LGBT… people “filth” and expresses a desire have them not be in his christian state.
Oh, Lord - another closeted Repub politician talking trash. Just wait until he gets caught.
Those are better lines than the ones my sister is always quoting about blintzes!
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu is signaling he won’t seek a vote on a bill that would allow election clerks to start processing absentee ballots the day before Election Day despite once authoring the proposal himself.
By refusing to bring the bill to the floor before lawmakers adjourn for the year, Senate Republicans are leaving open the door to more false claims by former President Donald Trump about the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections.
First he said:
“Processing thousands of absentee ballots during breaks or after 8:00 PM can delay election results and create a burden on poll workers and clerks,” LeMahieu, a Sheboygan County Republican, said during his testimony to the Senate Elections Committee in January 2020.
He’s since done a 180
“Monday processing of ballots for efficiency sounds like a reasonable plan. Unfortunately, there are concerns with the chain of custody of ballots and the hearing revealed the disparity of partisan observers of central count processing,” Knodl said in a newsletter published in December.
"Considering those concerns, I do not plan to advance the aforementioned bills for an Executive Session committee vote.”
One of those “concerns” is something raised by Rep. Janel Brandtjen. Brandtjen has been in enough trouble, WRT elections , even looking at felony charges…maybe we don’t need to worry about her concerns.
Oddly enough, Robin Vos (R-WI) seems to be the voice of reason here:
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said this week he wants Senate leaders to “come to their senses” on the proposal. Vos said the “late-night ballot dump” narrative is one of the top complaints he hears from voters about Wisconsin’s elections.
“I have no idea why senators would not want to solve the problem of these late-night ballot dumps,” Vos said.
(Is that the “The Czar, he always said to me, ‘Olga, do not be stingy with the blintzes!’” bit? I say that too! 
When making blintzes or pancakes or anything else where you keep churning out servings.)
And when she just says “blintzes” like they’re the food of the gods.
“Things That Never Happened” for $800, Ken.
It’s been noted in the comments that Kirk didn’t even get the imaginary assassin’s name right - Vasiliev is a surname and Alexeievich is a patronymic, so he’s performing the equivalent of calling our current president “Biden Joe Joeson”.
Well, members of the royal family who commit treason against The White Race (by marrying someone not fully White), anyway.
You just know the GOP is going to endorse a platform of outlawing ‘miscegenation’. Awkward for Clarence Thomas? Not a bit of it. Simply declare him an honorary white man–hasn’t he done enough to deserve that???
Hey, hey, let’s not go crazy here!
Let’s just use the traditional One Drop Rule to declare his wife Black. I’m sure a sufficiently invasive investigation of her family history will turn up someone…
(per week, auto-billing)
Yeah, don’t help her up. She might be tightly gripped around some kind of beige ‘pump handle’.
“Doctor, the patient is a male in his 30s with five deep lacerations around his penis. We’ve administered both a local and a general to stop his screaming…”
