NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

He seems to think she’s also taken over from Biden as actual President.

The concept that anybody would willingly not attempt to hold onto power is literally unthinkable for them.

It would be fascinating to study if the potential consequences of the election weren’t so horrifying as to rob us of the capacity for rational thought.

Now I’m visualizing Don as a huge Circus Peanut man rampaging through New York. His hands are too tiny to pick up any cars or people though.

Jon Stewart made a god point. The fact that Harris is having huge rallies and attracting A-list starts must really be getting to him. The giant rallies and adulation were always his “thing” but now somebody else is getting more attention.

Of all Trump’s stupid nicknames, politics aside, that one’s kinda funny.

I think Harris should respond to Trump’s debate request…well, I think she should come right out and say she’s not going to do anything with Fox, but I think she should respond to his request by parroting a common line Trump uses as an excuse not to debate, that is, that her poll numbers are so high, there’s no point. His head would explode if she even suggested her poll numbers, or “ratings”, as Trump would say, are so much higher than his, so she has nothing to gain by debating him.

Sorry, do you mean “launch”?

No, they literally laugh the hate-feeding invaders off the Enterprise.

Driving across the state of Missouri yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice a number of billboards for some guy running for governor, with “SECURE THE BORDER” emblazoned across the bottom.

Now granted, Missouri is one of two states that border eight other states, so that’s a lot of potential problems, but somehow I doubt that it’s Missouri’s borders that he’s worried about. On the other hand, he’s a few states away from the border with Mexico, so I’m not sure what he thinks he’s going to be able to do about securing the border there.

Waste taxpayer money and impinge on Guardsmen’s career and personal lives* by sending the Missouri National Guard to Texas to “help secure the border.”

*I’m sure they don’t mind being called up for real emergencies to help their neighbors or the nation, but I’d guess many would resent being called away from their jobs and families for a purely political stunt.

Season 3, Episode 7 - The Day of the Dove

** [last lines]*
** Captain James T. Kirk: [to the alien entity] Get off my ship. You’re a dead duck here, you’re powerless. We know about you, and we don’t want to play. Maybe… maybe there’re others like you around, maybe you’ve caused a lot of suffering, a lot of history; but that’s all over. We’ll be on guard now, we’ll be ready for you, so ship out! Come on, haul it!*
** Dr. McCoy: Yeah, out already!*
** Kang: Out! We need no urging to hate Humans. But for the present, only a fool fights in a burning house. Out!*

Heh: “The Trump University of tax plans”:

‘It’s just a scam’: The real truth about Trump’s no tax on tips or social security pledge

Brendan Duke, Senior Director of Economic Policy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, joins MSNBC’s Ali Velshi to explain why Donald Trump’s proposed tax cuts on tips and Social Security are the “Trump University of tax plans” that would provide “tax cuts for the wealthy, pennies for low- and middle-income families.”

Something like Wall Street broker to client: “Instead of a fee that I have to pay taxes on, why don’t you make it a tip? [wink, wink] Ya know, in appreciation of my great advice.”

Mike Huckabee’s pro-Trump children’s book is very weird. May not be suitable for kids | Opinion

https://www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/dion-lefler/article290620699.html

“Get Congress to approve death penalty for drug smugglers and human traffickers.” That’s from a children’s book?

In a message flacking for his kids guide to Trump, Huckabee enthuses: “The Best Way to Fight for America and Her Future is to Educate Your Children on Trump and the Fight to Save America. Do it Today!” (Again, the capitalization is theirs, not mine.) I’m sure little kids across America can’t wait for their bedtime story about executing some drug smugglers and human traffickers, assuming they have any idea what either of those things are. That, or seeing a picture of Trump shaking hands with Kim Jong Un, the bloody-handed dictator of North Korea…

Or the kids will love this, on a lighter note: “Illegal immigration is when people come to take money and jobs, without paying taxes, sneak in to sell drugs, commit other crimes and, in the worst case, commit acts of terrorism.”

The book is advertised as “free,” but with a $1 charge for shipping and handling — which according to the ad “is a small price to share the truth with your kids!” Later in the fine print they set the hook: “As part of this special offer, we’ll send your family two new Kids Guides every three to four weeks, covering hot topics kids need to learn, for only $14.98 each with free shipping!”

The balance of the piece quotes complaints from people who fell for this crap and not only didn’t get their free book, but now they’re being billed $XX.XX per month (or some other random amount) for a subscription that apparently can’t be canceled. Well, that certainly proves this scheme is authentic-- those are the hallmarks of Republican grift.

So they offer the choice-don’t have kids and lose my vote, or have them and traumatize them with this crap. Hmmm….:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

What age is this book aimed at? If your child is 5, then Donald Trump will be 91 before your child is able to vote for him.

Agreed - it’s right up there with “Meatball Ron”, which sadly he decided not to use. “Ron DeSanctimonious” just didn’t have the same oomph, IMO.

I thought Meatball Ron was kinda funny too, but only because there was a kid in my grade school that, for no reason whatsoever, we called meatball.

That one is least likely to be a nickname, and much more likely to be another mispronnunciation>
