Donald Rump is a joke that even the Repubs are catching onto.
It’s not often I find the word “stupid” at all in a respectable (YMMV) article from a respectable (YMMV) organization, much less as a direct description of someone. But the first few lines of a piece on Salon.com are:
Brought this thread to mind immediately. 
A synopsis: Rand Paul is quoted saying, apparently straightforwardly and without any tinge of hyperbole, that “With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have [to] realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery…” Parene’s response:
Well, strictly speaking, the right to assistance of counsel does not necessarily mean the right to have to government pay for counsel.
First the came for the Indian Chiefs, but I said nothing.
Then they came for the lawyers.
Then they came for the doctors.
Ah, hell, take 'em. I need smart slaves!
I have pretty much ignored the Pauls as what little I heard was …stupid, but reading the link’s to the other stories in that Salon article I come away with one an over all impression of
FUCK is he that stupid? That is just some mind bending dumb right there.
Of course, he isn’t that dumb is he? Both Pauls have figured out how to tap into the deep well of dumb that resides in so much of this country, and they are going to live it up while it lasts. I don’t know, maybe Rand (don’t that just tell you all you need to know right there) is a true believer, having been brain washed by daddy. In which case he is crazy and stupid.
Do you remember the insane (and insanely) long thread about pro bono work with Rand Rover vs…well, everybody? There’s your hard-core libertarian/Objectivist attitude toward public service.
Here’s John McCain, responding to Republican stupidity.
Here’s some more Republican stupidity:
Cite.
That particular criterion limits their repertoire to Carman and Sandi Patty.
Wait a minute! Freddie Mercury was gay?
I know, it’s a shocker.
Gayer than a tap-dancing Senator in a Minneapolis airport bathroom stall.
Now now! You just lie back on the Chaise longue, and I’ll have someone fetch you a mimosa to refresh you.
<fans elucidator>
Next you will be telling me Liberace was too.
Gayer than a daffodil, darling.
I heard Francis Scott Key was gay, too.
Francis Bellamy? Gay.
Lee Greenwood? Gay. Even he was taken aback by that one.
And in truth, a socialist apparently! Did not know that. We may have just discovered the way to end the controversy about forcing kids to recite the Pledge in schools.
That’s… not stupid.
Anyone want to bet that Wasilla High plays We Will Rock You* or We Are the Champions at football games?
*I know, it was written by Brian May, but close enough.
