Stupid Republican idea of the day

Well, sure, that was the plan from the git-go. Cheney was the old hand, the seasoned veteran who would guide the likeable doofus. He was sold as virtually a co-President. That was a positive selling point, one designed to make GeeDubya more attractive.

Glenn Beck is worried that the government is going to come in the middle of the night and murder him because he’s a voice in the wilderness about how Ferguson and Baltimore are setups by the government to arm the police so they can take over the country.

Up thread I mentioned that Wolfowitz was also on the J.E.B. team. Getting that 'ol Iraq bunch back together again. Maybe Cheney can be the Secretary of State.

He still meets the requirements for Vice President, maybe he’ll recommend himself for the job again.

Just this morning I was envying a woman who was digging through a trash can in the Fred Meyer parking lot. What a cushy life she has.

Yeah, but she is copping quite the ‘tude, looking down her nose at all the po’ folk in India. That ain’t right.

Well, she doesn’t have to pay taxes, so…

He’s not planning to export our poors to the third world, right? A demographic eugenics experiment as he pursues his doctorate in Social Darwinism?

As Obama put it at the White House Correspondents’ dinner:

“He thinks I’m the worst president of his lifetime,” Obama said, “which is interesting because I think Dick Cheney is the worst president of my lifetime.”

Of course, it was just a joke. :smiley:

Quick thread scan, but I didn’t see it posted where Lindsey Graham is planning to announce he’s running for PotUS.

Among his reasons,

“As a military lawyer I know all there is to know about strategy, tactics, logistics, morale management and everything ! Taliban 40mm autocannon in the way of a Humvee column and chewing them to pieces ? I know how to sue that !”

Oh, no, of course not, there’s no demand for them there, that’s coals to Newcastle! Economically, it makes more sense to kill the poor and sell their corpses to hog farms.

This is not exactly a Republican idea as such, but Rubbin Buttz BBQ in Milliken CO plans to hold “white appreciation day” on June 11, giving white customers a 10% discount. The headline identifies it as being Latino-owned.

That might present some difficulties. E.g., does somebody with both a name and a face like Ted Cruz’ get the discount or not?

If he tells them is late name is “Cruise,” not “Cruz,” he might be okay. Or, if he wants to get meta, “Mapother.”

Pfff. Being white means nobody asks how your name is spelled.

People ask me how to spell mine all the time.

You mean I’m gonna STAY this color???

Incidentally, June 11 happens to be the day George Wallace blocked the doors of Alabama U. You know, just in case you thought it wasn’t tone-deaf enough.

Chris Christie spent $82,000 of state money on snacks at NFL games

I realize that “official entertainment” is part of the job but $82,000 on hot dogs and beer doesn’t look good, particularly for a gentleman of Christie’s proportions.

Wow, nealy $400,000 a year for party supplies? For anyone else, that would be outrageous. For Christy, I suppose it just about covers the dip.
