Stupid Republican idea of the day

Devin Nunes tells Republican donors that they need to shut down Mueller and get Sessions not to recuse, or “all of this goes away”.

Could Sessions “unrecuse” himself or is that something that once stated becomes binding?

But the 6 years of growth under Obama only happened because the market was anticipating Donald Trumps election. Come on, work with me here! It all makes sense if you use Republican logic.

Okay, I get that math is hard (as is attention to detail), but if we want to point and laugh at the Pubbies, we should try to avoid careless errors. The America-hating fuckstick had his inauguration on 01/20/2017. 07/20/2018 (a bit less than three weeks ago marked the end of his 18th month in office.

He doesn’t get even technical credit for twenty months of job growth; it’s eighteen. And seventy-six for Obama.

Representative Chris Collins slapped down for insider trading. The sheer degree of corruption here is rather mind-boggling.

The really sad part is that Cruz almost certainly would have won the nomination if he’d given Cadet Bone Spurs a fat lip for insulting his wife.

That’s disturbing!

Aw, holy fuck! Utterly insane!

AND his father.

Senator Joni Ernst, lying a number of times:
“They (the NRA) do not give us money. That would be illegal and I’d be driving a nicer car.”

Of course they give her money, she reports it to the FEC. And is she saying that she uses campaign contributions for her personal use?

Hey, anything goes in the wonderful new world into which Trump has ushered the GOP.

And the apologists are OUTRAGED that Collins is facing any consequences at all, because he didn’t sell his OWN stock!!!1!!! No matter that he passed insider information (on camera!) to his son, who, along with other family members, saved themselves from a cool three-quarter-million dollars in losses.

I proofread deposition transcripts for a living. I read a lot of plaintiff and expert witness depos in asbestos cases.

May everyone who played a part in making this abomination possible be afflicted with mesothelioma.

Boils, incontinence, impotence, and any of the known sexual diseases of the camel should be sufficient. I am a genial and forgiving person.

CJD would satisfy me. And it would be comparatively humane.

We don’t have a thread on the Indiana senate race between Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly and his Republican opponent, multimillionaire businessman Mike Braun, but this fits here too:

The AP seems to have done a pretty thorough job of looking into this and they detail quite a few ways that Mr. Braun’s comments don’t match with what they found.

Kinda stupid to spout off like he did, eh.

As if Pizzagate wasn’t bad enough, the right-wing CT paranoids have now decided that Portland’s Voodoo Doughnut is also part of Crooked Hillary’s interplanetary Satanic pedophile ring.

It’d be laughable if it weren’t so stupid and offensive and potentially dangerous to the bakery, its employees, and its customers.

Yes but they’ll claim:

  1. the market naturally recovered on its own

  2. the market recovered thanks to the Tea Party, which kept Obama under control.

  3. Obama’s market & job growth are weaker than Trump’s

Technically, there are kernels of truth there, but it glosses over the fact that Obama stabilized a very unstable economy, and that Trump is coming in at what is likely to be the end stages of this economic hot streak. Moreover, some of his blunders are going to lead us into a Trump recession (which he will blame on newly-elected Democrats) and some of his other blunders will make the recession even worse than it would otherwise be (again, Democrats are to blame)

And I suspect that this poll was taken before the Alex Jones smack down. It’s probably even higher now. The Republican and conservative base is appealing to fewer people, but those who remain in its ranks are blatantly and unapologetically authoritarian – and racist.

And here we finally have it, Laura Ingraham clearly saying what most Trump viewers are feeling:

That example should be taken to the Jeong thread and used as an example of a white person spouting clearly racist bullshit and not being fired.
