Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

This doesn’t look real to me. Are we all buying this?

No (see later discussion)

And yet, she accepted her election victory. Huh.

“There’s no evidence for it, but it is scientific fact!”

Honest to God, who’d have thought reality would go racing past Brass Eye and into the far distance of insanity?

Russia tries to get all “no u”

uuuuuuh ‘say what’ to the bolded.

It amazes me how much these people want to change the way our country is run based on what they don’t know.

Quoting Guest-starring_Id’s quote

Something Russia is intimately familiar with.

That was the Soviet Union. Modern Russia is something completely different.

I see that the legacy of Baghdad Bob lives on.

Didn’t Russia retreat out of Afghanistan in their day?

I am vaguely hoping to score some points off Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf in the death pool, as Baghdad Bob himself lives on, in Bahrain or some place like that there.

This makes me very, very happy.

Hah, ha ha ha.

“That’s like a long drive”.

Ha, ha, ha.

So is this the demise of the Freedumb Convoy, or only one segment? I confess that I haven’t paid much attention to it, partly because I have more important things to address, and partly because the whole project makes a frat party look like the epitome of organization.

(Anyway, how can it be considered a “convoy” if it doesn’t include eleven long-haired Friends of Jesus in a chartreuse micro-bus?)

Or a suicide jockey.

I’m not entirely certain, but it sounds to me as if they couldn’t get enough people interested in joining it or supporting it, so they gave it up. No grit.

As I’ve posted here a few times, today’s republicans insist the ballots which voted in Biden are false and the ballots which voted them into office are legitimate. The simple fact that they’re the very same ballots does not deter them from their insistence. It’s Schrödinger’s election!

Nof if Putin has his druthers.

I suspect the moment has passed. Covid mandates are yesterday’s news, restrictions are being lifted and everyone’s moved on to the war.

I’m sure a lot of MAGA truckers thought “hell yeah!”. Then some reality hit:

  1. They have to own their own tractor and trailer or be charged with some level of theft;
  2. I imagine all/most owner/operators are running close to the bankruptcy line. They might be able to go a couple of days/weeks between jobs, but driving from Colorado to DC and back empty entirely on their own dime for fuel is a hell of hit.

The mere fact that two (three) of you (us) know this song should be good for a 10% hike in SDMB ad rates.

Sez me.
