Stupid Republican idea of the day

Briefly, from October 1999 to February 2000:

But he’s had more military training than most soldiers.

He has more experience in self-promotion than all of his competitors combined.

Hence his problem with his self-expression – he doesn’t know the dogwhistles and code language you’re supposed to use to assure the bigots that you’re their man while maintaining plausible deniability.

No. AIUI, he said he had considered it, but he didn’t want to be seen representing a party in which David Duke was a significant figure.

:smiley:

You mean the David Duke he’s never heard of?

And with his awesome negotiating skill, Trump is TOTALLY going to make Mexico pay for his never having heard of David Duke. 'Cause Trump and America are both great!

And because he never heard of David Duke, he’s going to make the wall 10’ higher! And it will be a fabulous wall!

Exactly. And that’s all that counts now-a-days
And there’s a part of me that actually sympathizes. It’s getting scary.

Kentucky’s latest plan to pull one over on the Supreme Court; rewrite the entire corpus of state law to assign the rights given to married couples only to people who have “entered into matrimony”, and define “matrimony” as something only heterosexual couples can enter into.

They just better hope the courtroom where they have to defend this nonsense in doesn’t have a gold-fringed flag.

Gosh, that seems like an awful lot of work just because two people of the same sex holding hands gives you a squicky feeling.

In other SRIOTD news, the Republican candidate for the last electionjust gave a speech lambasting the front runner for this election. It’s difficult to express just how fucked up this election is. An elder statesman of the party just told people in eight states that they are idiots with bad judgement. How the heck do you spin this if Trump actually wins the nomination?

Trump spins it fine, with the same message that he’s been using all along: “Fuck those assholes; vote for me.”

That the people of 25-30(or whatever) states are idiots with bad judgements.

In fantastic irony, Mitt is channeling John Oliver.

He wants to make Donald Drumpf again?

In the wake of Trump’s, or Drumpf’s, primary wins and all-but-certain nomination, a new class of Republicans will try to emulate that success by acting just like him. I feel sorry for the midterms of 2018, because these people will likely be fighting the Tea Party for seats.

To be fair, it’s not “Kentucky’s” plan, just one batshit lawmaker’s. It hasn’t passed or anything yet.

Trump press release: “The Trump for President Veteran’s Coalition’s co-chairs are: . . . Jerry Delemus of Rochester.”

New Hampshire Union Leader: "DeLemus is facing nine federal charges based on an indictment brought in Nevada, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, assault on a federal officer, obstruction of justice, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer, interference with interstate commerce by extortion, and several firearms charges, according to court records.

They should have vetted him better.

You should have seen what the other nominee was charged with.
