NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

But, he shot a girl. Dad always taught me not to do bad things to girls. They are made of sugar and spice.

And now some lead.

Really? And I suppose you have definitive proof of that claim? If so, please post it.

Fuck Abbott. There is ample evidence that he is a loathsome sack of turds. If anything offers me the opportunity to think worse of him, I will accept. I have seen enough on him that there is no needed to meticulously document his ugly. He could just go roll in a whole Sonora of various chollas and it would not be enough.

How long before the global warming that Abbott doesn’t believe in turns the Rio Grande into a creek about knee-deep at high tide?

The Rio Grande arises about 10 miles west of Silverton Colorado (if you are a corvid). The weather patterns in that area do not pay much attention to the continental divide. Last time we were in western Colorado, the lakes and rivers were showing how very much deeper they used to be. Colorado is the primary water source for a large fraction of the US. It will vary some, but the way it looked, I would not be surprised to see Arroyo Grande to be barely enough to get Abbott’s wheels wet, in his lifetime.

The Rio Grande has never been an especially deep river anyway. It’s not navigable in any real sense. Maybe around its mouth. Otherwise, I don’t think it gets much deeper than 50 feet at any point along its course and usually much shallower.

Sadly, it appears that he is Sirius here.

Oof. That was below the belt.

For folks who might not have Bluesky, a related link.

James Comer and the Newsmax host interviewing him can’t agree on whether the drones are good (because they’re searching for an Iranian nuke that Biden allowed into the country) or bad (and should therefore be shot down by Kentuckians with small arms.)

How do you think it’s supposed to work?

Yeah, I am very enthusiastic about the idea of a bunch of guys randomly identifying things in the sky as drones and shooting at them. Some of the bullets will miss, but those will fall harmlessly to the ground.

Speaking of drones…

I won’t link to the original Xitpost but there’s a link in the article if you want to look at it.

TL:DR: Doug posts picture of TIE fighter prop, labels it an “unidentified drone”, blames Biden.

Then gets dragged.

Then claims it was a joke.

From the article @Smapti linked above:

I, for one, am looking to the new Trump administration, when all our boobs will be competent again.

Some of the drones are said to be the size of small cars. So, when shot down, positively CAN’T harm any persons or property!!!

There are so many reasons to wish that we lived in a just world, but wanting to see James Comer pay a price for advocating this is definitely high on my personal list.

Can’t we shoot down the TIE fighters with Jewish space lasers mounted on Italian satellites?

I…think I need my medication.
