NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

I am shocked to learn that they might have been less than truthful!!!

Then as they lean over the railing for a better look, Jesus gives Peter the sign, Peter nods at Gabriel and Michael and they pull the trapdoor.

Stephen “Sonderkommando” Miller just barely stops himself from saying Trump is seeking a Final Solution in Iran.

Doug Burgum says he has a secret plan to induct Teddy Roosevelt into the NFL Hall of Fame.

Palantir wants to bring back the draft.

It makes perfect sense. Just purging people was never the point. It was purging specifically the efficient people. Now they need to replace them with good inefficient bootlickers.

DOGE was always about seeking out and eliminating efficiency. Remember, one of the first things they did was to establish hotlines where folks could report their co-workers for actually doing work.

I will never stop thinking of this every time I hear his name.

DOUG BURGUM!!!

Authentic frontier gibberish.

What did he say? The sheriff is nearer?

I’m right with them. The problem with an all-volunteer force is that it is much easier to send them off to war on a whim. If your drafted kid is at risk, then it becomes more necessary to actually build some sort of national consensus.

And of course, it is easy for an old guy to say that, but I was saying back when my three sons were prime draft age. I do think the random number generator should be weighted somehow so that fortunate children are more likely to selectively server.

Or you could have a bloodthirsty autocrat throw a million young men into a woodchipper like Putin has been doing the past four years. But hey, it’s not like we’d ever have a president that power-hungry and stupid around here, right?

…right?

And here I am embarrassed that I said that… in a high school history report.

My excuse - we didn’t get to the 20th century in class.

When I took AP US History in 11th grade, in 2000-2001, it was a big deal that it was the first year the curriculum was going to include Watergate.

Chip Roy says “Bill of attainder? What’s that?”

Yeah all those god-awful immediately identifiable fucking socialists and marxists.

That bill is based on so many lies, it’s pathetic.

Well, I donated to a firefighters fund once. The fire department is very much a socialist institution. Guess that makes me a socialist and probably a Marxist too.

Steak & Shake has hired a “Chief MAHA Officer” to make sure its food is made with “real ingredients”, which I assume means whale heads and raccoon penises.

Is Steak N Shake trying to kiss trumps ass because he made them a promise or are they trying to kiss his ass because they need his (legal) help?

ETA, looks like this is nothing new for them and they’re sucking up to RFK Jr, not Trump.

MAGA affiliation

After a lackluster financial performance in 2024, Steak 'n Shake started marketing heavily to conservatives in the MAGA movement.[133] Posts on the company’s social media aligned the brand with Tesla and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while the CEO appeared on Fox News to promote the beef tallow fries.[

John “Leghorn” Kennedy says he hasn’t read the report about Kash Patel’s drinking problem because the Atlantic has a paywall.
