Stupid Republican idea of the day

Thanks for remembering us amongst the (understandable) Texas-bashing.

I take a moment to send a shout-out to my pals and gals in the Loon Star State, from waaay up here in the People’s Republic of Minnesota. In the meantime, could someone work out a way to send me some actual bar-b-q? Folks around here got no idea. Might get expensive, Fed Ex, or whatever. No worries, sell some blood. A kidney. Firstborn, whatever it takes…

Hang in there and keep voting. The state that gave us LBJ has a native progressive tradition, and I’m sure it has not quite died yet. It will be a blue and civilized state again one day.

It has always been so, hasn’t it?

Only now, it’s political, and science-denial has attained the status of a tribal identifier.

The Virgin Islands Republican Party decided it would be a good idea to have a convention at a gun range. Nobody got shot, though the chair of the convention was armed, but the convention deteriorated into pushing and shoving, and the police were called.

Historians are scientists. HTH.

Just like all those Bible-waving “Christians” who are screaming about being discriminated against because, ya know, gays and stuff. They should just shut the fuck up and get over it. Right, John?

Or “white” people and AA. Just shut the fuck up and get over it. Right, John?

Rich people/corporations and higher taxes? JSTFUAGOI. Right, John?

Who are you calling a “seam”? That sounds like … uh, nevermind …

hey , it’s progress, I almost went with cheep for a twofer of misspelling

If the Texas GOP does vote for succession, can we just shoot the fuckers this time? None of this “reconstruct the Union” and “reconciliation” bullshit. Carpet-bag their asses, seize all their assets, and shoot every mother-loving one of them. Then bulldoze the Alamo, the city of Irving, and Globe Life Park. And send Ted Cruz the bill.

Irving has historical value as the home of Robert E. Howard, and needs to be spared.

Oh, yeah, the Alamo too. Shrug.

Yeah, the Alamo really only has historical significance to Texans. Since, in this hypothetical scenario, Texans have told us to fuck off, then fuck the Alamo. Burn it to the ground and then scatter the ashes. Then, when Texas is readmitted to the Union, make all of the good oil-bearing property Federal land. That’ll learn 'em.

Can we keep the replica of the Alamo that was made for the movie? That has historical significance we can relate to: John Wayne was there!

The Governor of Utah must believe viewing porn burns your eyes, that’s how it’s a health hazard.

(The article cites a study that found Utah had the most online adult entertainment purchases per capita of all the states.)

And the Dallas Cowboys can stop referring to themselves as America’s Team. (I don’t know how they got that title anyway. I didn’t vote for them.)

The Rawstory article is very misleading. The Kentucky legislature passed a law providing tax incentives for tourism-boosting businesses like theme parks. The Answers In Genesis park claimed the incentives, and the state said they couldn’t have them because it would amount to an endorsement of their message (and also because of their discriminatory hiring practices).

A federal judge ruled against the state (as is sort of alluded to in the article) so it has no choice but to give AIG the tax break.

They are, for the same people who think the Beach Boys is rock 'n roll.

The Arlington Cowboys aren’t even Dallas’s team, much less America’s Team. :slight_smile:

House Republicans want to remove 7000 schools from low income child food programs.

Pretty sure that GDP goes down when no longer affiliated with the US even with China acting as new overseers.
