NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

See post 5956.

My very first thought after hearing about this un-American law was: Alright, ACLU, get on this. This is a textbook example of why I periodically send you guys my own money.

Not a republican idea but conservative and dumb:

Water is being pushed on conservative voters as “anti-woke” that is “unapologetic.”

“Freedom2o” is becoming all the rage for some right-wing voters and now Alex Clark, a MAGA-world talking head, is pitching the water in a cringeworthy ad during Turning Point’s People’s Convention over the weekend, according to Mediaite.

The label tells consumers that “this water isn’t free, but your speech is” and its marketing seems to suggest that by simply drinking the special “anti-woke” water that consumers are engaging in an act of rebellion.

Dave Reichert wants to exile Washington’s homeless population to a former federal prison on an island used to house unreformable sex offenders - that is, unless he can force The Evergreen State College to house them in the dorms.

Are you sure that’s not a Saturday Night Live fake ad?

Sure seems like one but you can actually buy the stuff on Amazon right now so it exists.

Correct. At 21 bucks for a 12-pack, it’s decidedly not free.

And here’s more brilliance from ol’ Dave:

And the truly sad part of it is that Reichert is the SANE Republican candidate for governor. His competitor Semi Bird is an absolute MAGA fruitcake who makes ol’ Dave look like an Eisenhower Republican in comparison.

For you out-of-staters; WA has a nonpartisan top-two primary, and the state QOP has endorsed Bird over Reichert, but it won’t be until after the August primary that we know which of them will end up running against the all-but-certain winner, Democratic AG Bob Ferguson, in the November general. Reichert is a former Congressman and King County (the county where Seattle is) sheriff who oversaw the manhunt for the Green River killer, and Bird is a former Richland (city in eastern WA that was established as a government-owned company town for people working on the Manhattan Project) school board member who was ousted for refusing to enforce the mask mandate during covid and has been accused of stolen valor and defrauding the Army by submitting false documentation that resulted in him receiving medals he didn’t earn.

But outside a campaign event, anything goes.

Yet,

There are idiots on my NextDoor feed who proclaim that if only Reichert were elected governor, the graffiti on their neighbor’s fence would be a thing of the past.

Well, it would take 20 years, but he’d probably track down that miscreant tagger eventually.

Well done!

Don’t think for a second that I’m praising Reichert. I’m just saying that, compared to Semi Bird, he’s practically the most liberal Republican in Washington now that Kim Wyman’s joined the Biden admin and Jaime Herrera-Beutler has gone back to whatever it is she does.

And what’s more woke that environmental and public health regulations! I’m guessing it comes straight from a superfund site.

And the bottles are definitely NOT recyclable.

Oh, I’m not, sorry! I’m building off of what you said. I’m just so annoyed with idiots here who believe the anti-Bob Ferguson BS put out by the republicans. They repeat how he’s supposedly against law & order but have no idea what or why, just that they’ve heard it so often it must be true. The funny thing is Ferguson is very straight-up law & order.

Are they sure it’s only ten?

From The Borowitz Report:

Louisiana Orders Classrooms To Display All Ten Commandments That Trump Has Broken

My reaction is, “Well, if you’re going to have them, might as well enforce them!” Particularly against professed “christians”.

Every kid who mentions ‘g_d’ in class has profaned the name of the Lord, and should be punished by 10 days detention.
