Stupid Republican idea of the day

A Republican staffer from the House Select Committee on Benghazi has been fired after he says he developed concerns about the politicized nature of the panel’s investigation.

Okay, time for everybody to put on their surprised faces. Here’s mine: =|

An evil Popeye’s Organization.

Popeye’s puts pickles in their coleslaw. Pickles.

If that’s not evil, I don’t know what evil is.

Putting coleslaw in coleslaw!

Not as evil as KFC, who pre-chew their coleslaw.

Now, back to stupid Republicans. Bristol Palin is outraged over girls getting free birth control.

Abstinence is also free. And she’s living proof it works.

:smack:

He was terminated for displaying “improper animus.” :stuck_out_tongue: Proper animus is to be exalted, but his was directed against the wrong sort of people.

Something something homophobic Republicans animus.

Donald Trump wants Michael Savage to run the National Institutes of Health.

Please tell me that everything Trump says is a punchline.

Bluto did it.

CBS Analyst tells us why Paul Ryan is the best choice for Speaker, without revealing that he received $100,000 from Paul Ryan.

Damn liberal media.

Yeah but the “analyst” is Frank Luntz. That would be like crying outrage that Billy Mays didn’t reveal he was being paid by Acme WormFood during an infomercial.

A waste of energy, considering his audience. The audience that dismissed all the irrefutable evidence of Bill O’Reilly’s lies as liberal media shenanigans.

¡Jeb! has another coordination malfunction, cites super PAC advertising as his own

OK, he caught himself very quickly, but everyone knows damned well that the campaign and SuperPac are coordinated.

His portion of those 158 billionaire families doing half the campaign financing across the country are probably beginning to feel they’ve wasted their money.

Pish posh. Everybody knows it is against the law for PACs to coordinate or indeed even communicate directly with the campaign they support. Why, that would circumnavigate all campaign funding and disclosure laws !
Which would be profoundly unethical, and the suggestion - nay, the slanderous innuendo - that esteemed and honest political personalities would disregard their nation’s laws with careless abandon is, quite frankly, offensive. For shame, **BigAppleBucky **!

Republiopaths being whiny assholes (via The Hill):

After last year’s midterm elections, Republicans held majorities in both the House and the Senate, where the GOP has a 54-46 advantage. The GOP hoped the new majorities would allow Republicans to send conservative legislation to the White House, which would at least [COLOR=“Red”]force President Obama to use his veto pen.
______Instead, bills have been bottled up by Senate Democrats, and Obama has only vetoed one piece of legislation this year — a measure to build the Keystone pipeline. Frustrated House Republicans joined by a GOP presidential candidate and freshmen senators are clamoring for change.[/COLOR]

“I gots all these damn fingers, and those guys won’t let me pointing with thems.”

This one is not only ironic, it is genuinely ig’nant.

[QUOTE=“[BBC: Alaska’s governor wants to drill more oil, to deal with climate change]
(Alaska mulls extra oil drilling to cope with climate change - BBC News)”]While Alaska’s income from the oil continues to fall, expenditure on climate related activities is likely to go up. Coastal erosion is threatening a number of native communities in remote areas such as Kivalina. This isolated community of 400 sits on a narrow spit of land that is constantly under threat from the sea, despite huge expenditure on defences. Just last week a surging sea removed a 3m stretch of beach near the airport.
Evacuation seems like the long term solution but it will likely cost $100m.

To deal with situations like this, the governor told the BBC, more oil was needed.
“We are in a significant fiscal challenge. We have villages that are washing away because of changes in the climate,” Governor Walker said. “I don’t see anyone putting together contribution funds to help move Kivalina; that is our obligation, we stand by that - we need to figure out how to do that. But those are very expensive - we have about 12 villages in that situation.”

So, people are using less oil, revenue is falling, therefore the answer is to flood the market with more oil, thus lowering the price even further …

Because, you know, Alaska cannot possibly tax anyone for anything.

If you can’t see the forest for the trees, chop down the trees!

When you have a hammer… :stuck_out_tongue:

Not your typical SRIOTD, but hilarious nonetheless. Greg Abbott tweets congratulations to Astros shortly before they give up 7 runs in the 8th to lose game 4.

Of course, given this is Abbott we’re talking about, it’s highly unlikely this is even close to the stupidest thing he did today.
