NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

I was just making a general observation on his character. Combined with the fact that I always get amused at the way fuck is used as a general purpose modifier entirely independent of whether the literal meaning of the word is appropriate.

Also trying to explain a joke just kills it. Sorry.

Fun fact: The definition of “fucking” in Scots is, “Watch out! The next word is going to be a noun.”

Ah, I get it now, a pun on “fucking”.

That was actually kind of funny. :slight_smile:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Camacho was actually a pretty good president. He recognized the biggest crisis facing his nation, he found the best-qualified person available to deal with the crisis, he delegated the task of solving the crisis to that person, and he implemented that qualified person’s advice, with the result that the crisis was solved. That’s how presidentin’ is supposed to work.

By comparison with Trump, the biggest crisis facing the nation is himself, and the best-qualified person to deal with it was Kamala Harris.

He had a terrible cabinet and the rest of the government wasn’t any better. The whole country was extremely moronic.

With a competent group of people around him to implement his goals, Camacho would do pretty well I’d think. Hell, I’d absolutely take him as POTUS over who we have now with no reservations.

Trump, the unpresidenting!

Hell, I’m having trouble creating a short list of people I would not take, alive or dead*, as POTUS over whom we have now.

*That’s how awful whom we have now is. A dead man is better than he is.

He has made it blindingly obvious that apex leadership is simply not a good idea. One person in charge of everything is a recipe for FU’d. It is not working in Russia or UK or SA or anywhere, really. It is probably not even a good business mcdel. We had a modestly stable country, but these periodic 180s are not making it get better.

I’d vote for an inanimate carbon rod over trump.

An inanimate carbon rod is wishing for the moon to me. I’d vote for a literal steaming pile of dog shit over Trump.

It sure would be fun to see the MAGAt repubs kissing up to DST (dog shit trump). Oh sir, you have the best smell. And the nicest shade of brown, no ne else has that!

Let’s get rid of [Spring] Elections:

His reasoning, at least on the surface, doesn’t seem that bad. He wants to roll our spring non-partisan elections into the regular/mid-term elections to reduce the burden on everyone. But, there’s one line that stands out and I have a feeling it’s the driving force behind this:

“Republicans don’t vote. Period. Like, we just don’t vote in spring elections,” Van Orden told reporters

No matter how much he wants to say this is just about money and convenience, in the end, it’s because the people on his side of the aisle aren’t bothering to go to the polling place to vote for a judge or superintendent they’ve never heard of and, frankly, don’t really care about. Does anyone actually think he’d be okay if it was young democrats that skipped non-partisan elections.

Also, it’s funny that he calls it a non-partisan election while complaining that republicans aren’t voting enough in them.

Heh, back in 2016, after observing how fanatical and delusional some Trump supporters were, I made the comment that there were probably a few that would gladly let Trump take a shit in their mouth if it “owed the libs”.

I’d prefer the fictional President Snow, who has at least a sort of perverse integrity. Or as The Incredible String Band put it,

Straight from the shoulder, I think like a soldier,
I know what’s right and what’s wrong.
(He knows what’s right and what’s wrong.)
I’m the original, discriminating Buffalo-man.
And I’ll do what’s wrong as long as I can.
(He’ll do what’s wrong as long as I can.)

I understand that argument is one of the foundations of the internet, but arguing with AI is just stupid. So of course that’s ol’ Margie Green chose to do.

I can picture a drunken MTG arguing with “that bitch” in the mirror who just won’t shut up and keeps pointing at her.

it is like watching a jawa fighting a denebian slime devil

Cue famous Spider-meme.

Don;t cross the streams.

Greene took issue with Grok’s answer, replying in a subsequent X post: “.@grok the judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform. …”

Why am I certain that Marj has no problem with folks saying that they are ‘Saved’?
