Stupid Republican idea of the day

Carson needs Secret Service protection because liberals are out to get him!

Carson On Secret Service: “I’m In Great Danger” Because I Challenge “Secular Progressive Movement”

I, for one, though far too weird to be a liberal, would take drastic measures to prevent anyone from shooting Dr. Carson. I would, for instance, point out a more suitable target for the gun man. Gutsy, I know, but that’s just the kind of hero I am.

Their line of questioning confused me. For awhile I thought they were going to accuse her of having an affair with Blumenthal. He had full acess to you, right? He sent you all these e-mails? Were you alone? All night? No one showed up?

They seemed frustrated that Clinton didn’t break down and admit to hating America and giving a stand down order, or…whatever the CT even is anymore. But that’s the thing. If she’s a criminal mastermind who’s been eluding your grasp all these years, shouldn’t you bring in the big guns?

I can challenge a Guernsey bull in essentially the same way, but it will not amount to much as far as the bull is concerned. I mean, if I am armed against the bull in the same way that Carson is armed against the so called secular progressive movement, I would end up part of the muddy pasture. David-with-a-sling he is not. The “core” has observed the “challenge” and met it with derision, mockery and indifference.

All three at once? Don’t know about anyone else, but I have to be pretty riled up for weapons-grade derision and mockery.

Donald Trump insults Iowa voters on Twitter, then blames an intern for the tweet. An intern says that his interns don’t have access to his Twitter account.

Well, the story says at the end that other people do tweet for him, based on what he dictates. On the other hand Trump said the intern did a retweet, which implies Trump did the original tweet internally. I think the intern can be excused for not differentiating insults which should go out from insults which shouldn’t.

I was looking forward to seeing someone do some kind of statistical analysis like this. I hope your sample of looking at every tenth page was a good statistically representative sample. Anyway, it does look like we have some serious concentration of Stupid here! It looks like we are getting a bit over 500 new Stupid Ideas per year! (That’s approx. 3,260 stupid ideas divided by the approx. 6.5 years this thread has been running.) I wonder if there are finitely many Stupid Ideas. I think the number of Stupid Ideas is infinite. And many of them being irrational, they aren’t even countable.

Golf clap.

ETA: although I’d like to hear Eric Cantor’s take on this.

The indifference is part of the derision: “Ben, you just don’t matter. No one cares what you think.” Proactive apathy.

For a good laugh – or cry – read about Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin:

Remember this is a State Supreme Court Justice, not just some Teabagging Ted Cruz supporter mouthing off in a bar.

I “knew” the turd had to be a Republican, even though Pennsylvania is somewhat blueish. Sure enough:

You’re just nitpicking. The important thing is that he gives out his email address.

Mitt Romney now claims Obamacare was his idea all along and he’s the reason it’s been such a success.

This is just the break the…oh, forget it.

People are talking about him, the momentum is building!

If I manage to conjure up two of those in the same day, I need a nap.

My Congressidiot, Frank Guinta, sent out this push poll today:

But he made the mistake of linking to the poll results:

Hee, hee.

Still, there is much division in Republican ranks, even as problems multiply!

I don’t understand. How do you take a survey on whether facts are true or not?

Exactly. It is right wing anti-Obamacare propaganda, masquerading as a poll. Still, the most popular choice is “Obamacare is working well.” Not what he expected, but it will not change his position. Obamacare is bad, because Obama.
