I can’t believe I’m defending Freepers, but there are definitely birthers on there who say that Rubio and Cruz are not NBCs. And there are definitely non-birthers on there who try to shout down the birthers.
So, not only do I read what Freepers write, I’m defending them. What is my world coming to?
Yeah, sure, but now you got non-partisan cred! Bookmark this, and when somebody gives you some shit about being partisan, you just go “Nunh-uh! Right here, I defended a bunch of vicious, drooling morons! In public!”.
Let the usual suspects go after Cruz’s citizenship. Dems can just nudge them a bit here and there, but shouldn’t take it on as their cause.
To nudge, you have to touch. Then disinfect your hands with a blow torch.
It’s like how some people drone on and on about how global warming is nonsense, then when others suggest that hey, maybe they have a personal, vested interest in arguing against the overwhelming scientific consensus, they say hold on now, I have even said that fossil fuels suck, so there’s just no possible way I’m just arguing this point because it serves me. Because no one has ever lied on the internet.
Seriously, though, I don’t give non-partisan cred to anyone. I certainly don’t expect it from anyone.
I more hope the Freepers will eat their own. That would amuse me, while still making me feel disgust and horror. In that way, it’s quite like the dope.
I haven’t forgotten that it was the Clinton campaign that started this birther nonsense. But at least they had the sense to let it go rather quickly, at which point the GOP picked it up and drove it straight over the border into Crazyland.
Now there’s a border that we should patrol like the dickens.
The pie fight officially kicks off:
The ads will need to be playing “Baby’s On Fire” in the background.
Just to clarify, you are not referring to the one from Here Come the Warm Jets, right? Because that would be, IDK, cognitive dissonance. I mean, that would be like the Republicans using Born in the USA as a patriotic anthem. Just not right.
The irony is nearly perfect on all levels.
I was thinking of the version from the Velvet Goldmine sountrack, but yeah, that’d be the one I had in mind!
The best bit has gotta be this one :
Self-awareness. This guy ain’t has it.
Maine Governor Paul LePage wants to put fresh water from Maine on barges and sell it to drought states (video):
Hey, maybe we could, I dunno, build a pipeline!
We could just insist that Canada pay its rent in water.
I suspect this says more about what else Maine has to offer than it does about the value of water. “Look, Mr. Governor, we’re running out of lobsters and logging isn’t cost effective in this type of terrain. What else have you got?”
“Um… dirt and water, I guess.”
Maybe they are running out of Stephen King?
