NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

Apparently yes. The Kasie Hunt interview took place December 15, 2023, according to the date stamps on both of these clips hosted by CNN.

The preview box for that second link says December 16, but the actual URL says the 15th just like the first one.

You’d think that JUST having been caught (in November 2023) would have made RFK Jr. less likely to flat-out lie mere weeks later (in December).

But apparently his arrogance is such that he learned no such lesson. (In the November encounter, of course, the host did NOT have the clip proving the lie ready to hand. By December the CNN people had figured out they should have it queued up–because he was going to lie.)

No more entries please! The Internet has been won for today. :trophy:

Oh yeah?

Here’s Fox News panelists complaining about how quality of life in NYC has gone down because (checks notes) the hookers are all too fat.

I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded a communist
Cause I’m left-handed
That’s the hand I use… well, never mind

Paul Simon, “A Simple Desultory Phillipic”

Hang 'em all!

Of course Jesse Watters has noticed this too. I don’t know what we’re supposed to take away from this other than the confirmation that these guys are seriously creepy.

Meanwhile in Utah - how it started:

How’s it’s going:

Just noting that I finally saw the video that this meme comes from, and now I can fully appreciate it. I would post a link to it for other semi-confused folks, but I don’t remember where I saw it.

It’s from I Think You Should Leave.

I assume that Trevor Lee would agree with the other two people with regards to NYC. Meanwhile look at the typo in the “Learing Center”. They clearly asked the AI to print out “Leering Center”.

Good post. What fucking nutbags.

It’s worth pointing out to folks who’re not familiar with the details of Texas government that the Texas Railroad Commission is misnamed and does lots else than railroads. The lede in this preview pretty well tells the tale.

In short, they regulate the operation and safety of Texas’s largest and most important industries. Which are inherently dirty polluting industries too. Giving them vast power, vast scope for graft, and zero accountability.

So a natural place to want a raging violent Fascist in charge. :man_facepalming:

Nobody should be surprised.

And 8 years later.

They like their loving to be nice and professional.

Prostitutes rarely blackmail, nor do they do tell-all interviews. Nor do they become pregnant.

Unlike groupies, sycophants, barflies, and other forms of mostly willing sex toys for men who think they’re bigshots.

Bo French, Republican candidate for the Texas Railroad Commissioner (which is a powerful position in Texas), made a racist Twitter post showing South Asian students in the stands at a University of Texas-Austin football game celebrating a win against Ohio State. The suggestion is that whites are being replaced by brown and black people. Never mind that the students shown are wearing Longhorn shirts and cowboy hats and are making the “Hook 'em Horns” sign. In other words, the kids are enveloped in the local culture.

And when called out on it, even by other Texas Republicans, opted to double down hard. On multiple occasions, too.

At least he has the courage and conviction to really own his racism.

/s

I read that Bo French defended his racism by talking about how the black and brown kids aren’t “assimilating.” What do you call it when they’re at a Longhorns game dressed like everyone else and celebrating the win?

If the pilots like to dress up as birds does that make them featheries?

If they wear carp heads does that make them fishies? Or just fishy?

Cultural appropriation! /s

They didn’t magically turn white or let a white kid have their spot at UT. How can they be assimilating if they don’t know their place?
