Stupid Republican idea of the day

Psst! Black dude. You know how this works, right?

I really hope Trump is redoing “The Third Wave” experiment/lesson by a Palo Atlo high school teacher explaining how the German populace accepted the rise of the Nazis.

That, or Jenner hopes she’s despised enough in Middle America that her endorsement will hurt Ted Cruz somehow. I don’t even know with that one.

Sieg Hair!

Or maybe she just finds him irresistible, and Rubio beyond the reach of dreams. :wink:

Based on that fantasy she babbled about Cruz setting up a committee on trans issues to be headed by Jenner, I think Jenner is just an idiot.

Alabama lawmaker pushes cutting-edge sex offender bill. This is the third time this numbnuts Republican has brought this bill forward, and he isn’t even pretending it is to cure the offenders-he just wants to mutilate them. I guess it’s an Old Testament “dick for a dick”, and he’s just the dick to get the job done.

It’s at times like this I wish this site allowed images. That one is . . . shudder . . .

Invoke Godwin’s Law? Maybe not in this case.

What? They’re just pledging allegiance to the flag and doing the Bellamy Salute! That newfangled hand-on-heart thing was thunk up by some bleeding-heart!

Prolly some kind of socialist!

:wink:
CMC fnord!

I don’t see it, they are just putting their hands up in the air. The Nazi thing was specific, “wooden” and aggressive. This is just sticking their hands in the air.

This shits bad enough without morbid fantasies.

If i were swearing an oath and was asked to raise my right hand, it would be about shoulder height and straight up. Several of those people have their arms extended and slightly forward, as if they are putting their hands forward so maybe he can see it. That’s why it looks a little nazi-ish to me.

Young man, you need to go to your room right now and reflect on what you’ve done. No dessert for you.

All that, and you don’t even mention the “numbnuts”?

Too ballsy?

Indeed, eunuchly so. But this notion reflects old-fashioned, reactionary, even 19th-Century, Gelded Age thinking.

I always liked the “mirror universe” salute, fist on chest then the stiff raised arm.

Seriously, though-the jackass isn’t even talking about chemical castration to supposedly subdue impulses. He wants to permanently physically mutilate them as a punishment. Even if this is passed, would it stand up constitutionally?

Trump claims he didn’t know that asking people to stick their right hand in the air and swear loyalty to him looked Nazi-ish.

You know, for a guy who’s Very Smart and Has One Of The Best Memories and Knows The Best Words, he seems to have a lot of gaps in his knowledge.

Not really. He also Knows His Audience.
