NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

This also bugged Billy Bragg

That is a fantastic response! Thank you Billy!

Holy fuck!
People, that’s worth a click!
(ETA I was not familiar with Billy Bragg a few minutes ago, but am now a big fan!)

That made me cry. In a good way.

These days I wonder what the hell good I’m doing hanging around on this planet, sucking up resources probably better utilized by someone else. But 20-odd years ago, I organized my “shop” to decertify a county employee organization which was, while well intentioned, basically useless for negotiating work conditions and pay issues we faced against the State of California. I brought in and ensured we certified SEIU to represent us. Better known as the Teamsters.

Things improved for our workers tout de suite and continue better to this day.

I’ve always been a huge supporter of unions. It’s nice to remember I did make at least one small difference in this world.

Well done, Billy Bragg. And thanks for sharing that link, @griffin1977.

I know there’s a hard-fought contest for the GOP’s stupidest Senator, and it’s a tough competition with the likes of Ron Johnson and Tommy Tuberville, but Ted Cruz is also a front-runner. Today he shared a tweet of a shark swimming along the 405 freeway in Southern California. Of course, that doctored picture has been around since 2011, even showing up in 2015 after a hurricane hit his adopted home state of Texas.

ETA: click on the link to see Cruz’s tweet and the picture.

Fox News says Biden is responsible for letting the tropical storm into California.

It’s well known that a President can direct the paths of hurricanes - with just the stroke of a sharpie.

Well, that’s the trouble with FOX News: No One there is a Sharpie…

I know one disgraced former president who could direct a might torrent of hot air and stupidity, often accompanied by destruction, in nearly any direction on any given day. And often did.

Vivek Ramaswamy is prepping for the debate by posting videos of himself playing tennis with no shirt on.

As absolutely ridiculous as this is, I have to give him props - Loser Donald would never be able to pull this off.

It works for Putin. Men want to be him; women want to be with him.

Or he could just shout at you.

I’d rather be shouted at by a Vogon guard.

Some presidents can do it just by thinking!

Proposed What If question (no not really): How much would it cost to build a wall tall enough to stop a Hurricane and could Mexico afford it?

A clearer minded thinker would prefer to be shouting at a Vogon guard.

A former shampoo CEO wants to become “warlord” of a post-apocalyptic USA.

Sounds like like the copy repairman guy in The Postman.

From article:
(from a far-reicher, too)

Usually headcases have some visual aspect about them to denote thier headcasery, but google images seem to show a relatively non-headcasy-looking chap. Has that “done successful start-ups back in the day” look.
Wish I’d taken the Maximum Leader path in life. :man_facepalming:

Haywood was “seriously, batshit crazy” and characterized him as writing from a “Midwestern Führerbunker”.

So basically the lead candidate for the GOP in 2028 then?
