NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

Yeah, @Akaj so I change my own post.

Forget it, he’s rolling. /literary allusion.

Yeah, like when the GOP bombed Pearl Harbor.

Hey, they can make shit up, so can we.

Appomatox was the final surrender, but there was a surrender of the city of Atlanta by Major General Slocum so I think its still technically correct.

Would that make the Civil War the First Reich?

So much surrendering! Are you getting tired of all this surrendering?

“Literary”?

Are you suggesting it’s a long way from literary?

Ooofff. Good one. :smiley:

but my heart’s right there

Yeah, but what about their dogs?

You jest, but there are nasty historical and influencer connections to the fascist regimes that appeared later in Europe.

Nazis themselves saw a clear line from their own beliefs to those of the antebellum South. Although Hitler took a decidedly negative view of the United States, attributing its economic woes in the 1930s to its allegedly degraded racial stock, he believed a Confederate victory would have set the country on a proper course. “The beginnings of a great new social order based on the principle of slavery and inequality,” he explained in 1933 to a fellow Nazi leader, “were destroyed” when the South lost the Civil War. Northern victory ushered a “corrupt caste of tradesmen” into power and hastened the condition of racial “decay.” It also destroyed the possibility that a “truly great America” ruled “by a real Herren-class” might have emerged, casting aside “all the falsities of liberty and equality.”

Who says i was jesting? While I wasn’t specifically aware of Hitler’s thoughts on the CSA as explained in your cite, I was drawing a parallel to the CSA as the first stage of the white supremacy movement that continued with the Jim Crow South and KKK revival (which was when many of the Confederate monuments were built, not immediately after the Civil War), and which are now a mainstay, if not overtly stated, in today’s GOP.

Nebraska’s governor has signed an executive order declaring that men are “bigger, stronger, and faster” than women. :roll_eyes:

I could take him.

So if there happened to be a woman who was bigger, faster, and stronger than the governor (I’m pretty sure several someones like this could easily be found in any town of any reasonable size), in the eyes of Nebraska, she is considered a man? I thought the Pubbies were against that sort of thing?

Who does he think he is, Andy Kaufman?

Loser Donald’s deposition in the NY case took seven hours because he has the right to remain silent but not the ability and keot going on irrelevant tangents about his big beautiful buildings.

Vince, his Starbucks name, is off the rails. I know he’s just doing it for airtime; getting in the news with shock bullshit.

Maybe he’ll start writing love letters to Pooptin; sounds like a romance.

What he actually wrote is not quite as egregous as the article makes it sound.

In the text of the order he says (underlining mine)

biological differences between the sexes mean that males are, on average, bigger, stronger, and faster than females;

which is probably accurate if not particularly relevent to the issue of transgendered individuals.

More egregiously he states

a “female” is an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova; a “male” is an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova ofa female;

Which basically leaves as genderless anyone who has reproductive issues.
