Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

Up next, banning the Bible as controversial because of the whole “rainbow is the sign of God’s Covenant” nonsense.

That’s been in our local news for the past week or so. As soon as I saw it, the first thing I thought was that if they don’t unban this, Dolly’s going to drag them through the mud. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that,

I have a silly question for you. It’s Republicans, isn’t it?

Not 100% sure, but here is an older article about the school district.

Here is one member of the Waukesha Board of Education:

Anthony Zenobia, a newly elected board member who ran on a platform opposing COVID-19 safety measures and so-called “critical race theory” and was one of the four board members who voted against rejoining the program, claimed the School Board members were the true victims in the debate. He said “the progressive socialist left” and the Washington Post “brutalized moms with children in this district for political gain,” referring to mothers who serve on the board.

And in another article on this particular issue:

In 2021, the School District of Waukesha said certain signage within classrooms, including flags and posters about Pride, Black Lives Matter, Thin Blue Line, and more was not permitted.

So, yeah, you can figure out what’s going on pretty easily.

Having not heard it, I just went and hunted up a version with lyrics. Seems to me that Dolly’s already taking them on.

Good for her (and for Miley. But I think Dolly Parton may have a different kind of power, here.)

Say no more, say no more, ha ha ha.

Republiopath Mecca. All Republicans in Wisconsin align their prayer rugs to face Waukesha.

First they came for the muppets, and I did not speak out…

It’s like a Turing test of sorts, only it tests for humanity. If the test subject affirms that Rainbow Connection should be vanquished, subject is not human.
They’re probably coming for this one next:

The inclusion of Thin Blue Line in there tells me there are trying to be aggressively non-confrontational, which of course leads to pissing off everyone (but for opposite reasons).

Russian man to be deported after posing naked on a sacred Indonesian mountain. Russians are really making friends everywhere.

A man died after jumping out of the CHP cruiser he stole. At about 50 miles per hour.

It looked like he was trying to run away from the car.

There’s blood and possibly brain matter on the road, and they drag him off like a bag of garbage. Correct that - I’ve never seen them move that fast with garbage on the road.

Just another case of “you run from us, we hurt you.”

What I heard was that they wanted to get him to the other side of the road in case the power lines came down on top of him after the driverless car took down a pole.

Could be.

But if he had a neck injury, the rough movement probably made the power line issue moot. Haven’t these guys every watched Emergency!?

That was disturbing to watch.

:sob:

Dude should have been wearing a helmet.

That was my thought when I watched it. If the person was a victim of a traffic accident, I doubt they would have treated him like that.

Police training in this country really sucks, you know?

The talking head then says, “I hope he’s ok.” Jeez.

Dude steals a police car then jumps out of it at speed. I have zero sympathy.
