NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

I’ll probably see it. I was a little too young for the original animated series, but the ‘80s movie with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella is a camp favorite of mine, and I enjoyed the recent Kevin Smith sequel series on Netflix as well as the She-Ra reboot.

It’s a little amusing that the plot of the ‘80s movie was “He-Man travels from Eternia to the real world” and this one is “He-Man travels from the real world to Eternia”.

What’s gonna happen when they find out He-Man is LGBTQIA+?

They-Person?

What do they say about She-Ra?

I’m guessing he left Snowflake behind this time, too.

She-Ra’s name always struck me as weird. It’s almost but not quite a mirror of her brother’s name. “She-Woman” would be closer. But that name just seems awkward, and while “He-Man” is an actual phrase, “She-Woman” isn’t. And “She-Ra” is certainly easier to say.

As far as where her name came from, I defer to the creator of the character at Mattel, Larry Ditillio. He said that the “Ra” is a reference to the Egyptian sun god “Ra”. And her outfit did sort of look like it might have had a bit of an Egyptian influence. Even as a kid, I was into mythology stuff and I assumed that was the origin. It also implied god-like powers, which fits in with the whole overpowered “Masters of the Universe” idea behind the toys and shows.

Anyway, that explanation can be heard in an interview with Larry:

‘I am Ra!

‘You think you’re raw, what about me?

Well, she does ride a flying horse while wearing a short-skirted tunic, so I guess her name is probably descriptive.

Scott Bessent says the Albertans long for expensive healthcare and masked terror squads roaming the streets.

Well, he did succeed in getting out the message that he’s stupid.

I’ll be interested to see if general approval ratings of Republicans are affected by that hearing; granted, only a tiny proportion of Americans are even aware that the hearing took place. Clips may be shown, though, and MAGA will like the shouty ones.

@Atamasama --agreed on the “hearsay” points.

Whoever runs the White House Twitter account thinks there are penguins in Greenland.

Maybe it’s the same doofus that thinks Venezueler is an island.

I guess it’s easier to hold a penguin’s ‘hand’ than a polar bear. :stuck_out_tongue:

Needs to read more (or at all). This was a plot point in an Encyclopedia Brown story I read in my youth.

You’re just not playing 5-D checkers, man, it all hangs together!

Remember that 1000% Tariff he imposed on Penguin Island? That’s pushed the penguins to the edge of economic ruin. They’re desperate for anyone to come to their aid. Enter Trump The Conqueror.

He’s offered them all jobs as cold-weather adapted mercenaries. Shock troops who won’t have any difficulty with the snow, or the oppression of their traditional rivals, the Eskimos (none of that woke “Inuit” stuff for Penguin Islanders!!). Once they’ve suppressed the local opposition forces, they’ll have enough experience to move on the polar bears in Canada’s north.

It doesn’t really look like the penguin is touting an American flag, or anything else. Looks like it’s just toting it.

Obviously a fake photo. trump doesn’t even let Melanoma walk that close to him.

I wonder why the administration likes to share AI generated images.
