Yes, and? We did win that race, didn’t we?
But surely a democrat saying something correct is logically equivalent
to a republican saying something stupid.
We beat the Germans in the race, but Russia was hiding in the trunk like Spritle and Chim-Chim.
Forget it - she’s rolling.
Apparently having realized she’d goofed, she’s deleted the post.
This religious nutjob is Speaker of the House.
I heard the tail end of this insane statement this morning, and somehow forgot about it. This should be everywhere, in bold type. The press should dog him on this one, if only because the response(s) can only be hilarious lies. Please, media folk, don’t let this one go.
I wonder if there will be an investigation into how Johnson came to know, and disclose, the name of a, presumably, confidential FBI informant?
Crow? IOKWARDI!
I recently heard Steve Hofstetter, the comedian, say "I liked it better when they wore pillowcases”. Evidently, he must’ve known about Senator Eric Schmitt.
On Nov. 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the greatest speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address. It opened “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
On Tuesday, Eric Schmitt, the junior senator from Missouri, declared that Lincoln was wrong.
“What is an American?” This was the question Schmitt posed at the fifth annual National Conservatism Conference in Washington. His answer is that the nation is fundamentally not based on the idea of equality or freedom or any other ideal. Nor is it accessible to people of all races and religions. It is fundamentally, he told an assembled crowd, a white homeland.
The white Europeans who settled America and conquered the West “believed they were forging a nation—a homeland for themselves and their descendants,” he said. “They fought, they bled, they struggled, they died for us. They built this country for us. America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations. It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny. If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all. But we know that’s not true. America is not a ‘universal nation.’ ”
Why doesn’t he just up and move to Orania?
Eric? It’s quicker say ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.’ and ‘Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth.’
We have enough of our own racists, but thanks for the offer…
ETA, this idiot is reinventing history. “The white Europeans who settled America…” - quite a few were Irish or Italian or some other nationality not regarded as “white” at the time of their arrival. The melting pot of society seems to have melted.
Besides which, America was ALREADY “settled.”
Where to put this? Good a place as any.

We’ll try this one.
Wins the Least Surprising Graphic award. (But it’s good to put it out there!)
Congress goes wild about prayer request.
The House of Representatives observed a moment of silence after the shooting of Charlie Kirk — but the tribute quickly devolved into partisan chaos.
Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump, was fatally shot on Wednesday, Sept. 10, while addressing a crowd of students at Utah Valley University.
Before his death was announced, House Speaker Mike Johnson held a moment of silence in his honor, which then shifted into a shouting match between Democrats and Republicans when Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) requested that the chamber also offer a spoken prayer for Kirk, saying, “I believe silent prayers get silent results.”
A handful of Democrats grew audibly frustrated, with mumblings about how Republicans have overlooked other victims of gun violence.
“What about the kids in Colorado?” one Democrat was heard shouting, referencing the Colorado high school shooting that transpired in Boebert’s state on the same day and left three people in critical condition.
Voted unanimously for what?
Exactly! That was the point.
(I’m kidding, I have no fucking idea what that graphic was supposed to mean either.)
