NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

Didn’t Pope Benectdine XVI state that Jews are not responisble for Christ’s death?

Sounds woke to me. Must be one of those CINOs.

I’ve never understood why “the Jews killed Jesus” is supposed to be a bad thing considering that Jesus dying is supposedly the only reason anyone gets out of eternal torment in the afterlife.

Well sure, but as one of them Cat-o-lics, he’s not a REAL Christian like Marge.

Whiplash shift from Christ to Cruz (Cancun Teddy). Ted and some other senators (to be fair - a couple of Dems) think compensating passengers for being screwed over by airlines is bad for business. Screw the passenger who just got screwed.

“The Department of Transportation announced a new final rule last week that would require airlines to automatically refund passengers whose flights are canceled or significantly delayed. There are some exceptions, but in general, it’s a huge win for passengers who are tired of airlines giving them the runaround. As with anything that benefits normal people, though, this new DOT rule has reportedly upset Senator Ted Cruz enough that the New Republic reports he’s proposed legislation to put a stop to this whole “consumer protection” nonsense.”

In the name of consistency, I’m sure he’ll immediately withdraw that other bill of his that establishes personal security details for congressmen at the airport.

The airlines must have offered him tickets to Cancun for life.

I really woudln’t be surprised a bit if she were to use the term papist.

Too bad they didn’t offer him a one way ticket.

My thoughts exactly. “Send Ted Cruz to Cancún for life”? I’ll donate to that cause.

“You mean like the papist-machay they made us do in school?”

I can think of no better way to get Mexico to join forces with the cartels against us than sending them that asshole to deal with

JD Vance sticks his foot in his mouth on live TV.

I guess that CNN’s microphones weren’t strong enough to pick up Vance’s next utterance in both instances:

Vance: Oh, shit.

[Aside: @Smapti : Thanks for posting all the X Twitter posts that you have been doing. I’d never see them otherwise, and I certainly appreciate them.]

Barf, he was in my area for one of those events:

Did he? I didn’t notice it in the clip? That would be great if he did. Hopefully getting caught knowingly lying will go viral for a few days. Or, rather, getting caught reacting to being called out for knowingly lying, will go viral. Like when your local news/facebook shows a picture of someone that was caught stealing something, but the picture is of them looking straight into the security camera.

Also, another reminder that Biden (or anyone else) didn’t launch a trial to interfere with a campaign, Trump launched a campaign to interfere with a trial.
And lets not forget about how wishy-washy he was about even running. He kept hinting at it, but ISTR, it was clear that if he was never indicted, he would never have run.

No, Permanent Cancun is too good for him.

I propose the “Cancel every flight that Ted Cruz tries to get on” act. So he’ll pay for flights, never get to take them, and never get his money back.

And he’s hated enough that everyone else on the cancelled flight will probably be okay with taking one for the team. The alternative would be sharing a flight with Ted Cruz, after all.

As a child, I wondered why Judas was considered bad. He was only fulfilling his role.

I guess that’s partly why, though I was raised Catholic, “the teachings did not take”.

You can’t believe mutually contradictory concepts at the same time?

Tsk tsk. They clearly did a bad job in Sunday school.

Matt Gaetz offered the same reason for voting against the bill, leading a Kevin McCarthy ally to label him an antisemitic pedophile. Beautiful.

Florida Bans Lab Grown Meat

OK, I think this is silly because protein is protein, right? It’s mostly about the presentation, IMHO. But what really makes me shake my head is this comment from the governor:

“Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals,” DeSantis said. “We will save our beef.”

Really? Sounds pretty pedestrian for elite authoritarians. I thought they’d be much more evil.

Yeah, I mean, whatever happened to Soylent Green? Sheesh.

For context,

“global elites”? Ron? You can just say ‘Jews’, your ‘dog-foghorn’ ain’t hiding what y’all mean anymore.
