Stupid Republican idea of the day

Steve “King”? Did the colonies fight a war to …

People responded by posting images of Matt Gaetz.

Maine state legislator says giving female prisoners access to adequate menstrual products would turn the prisons into a country club. He’s also a police chief.

I can totally see a woman planning a doomed crime-spree around her cycle:

My period is due in two weeks. If I rob the 7-11, they’ll probably catch up with me right around then, and I won’t need to buy any supplies. Win!

Remember when congressional Republicans kept grilling Michael Cohen about whether he was going to write a book? It wasn’t because they were concerned that he was profiting off his crimes: they just think literacy is a character flaw.

Devin Nunes is suing Twitter for allowing people to make fun of him.

Sounds to me like someone needs a safe space.

Not a bright move, Devin (not that that’s any surprise). Geez, even Fox News is disseminating the gibes you’re trying to bury, such as:

Stupid [del]Republican[/del] Russian idea of the day

Is this next in thump’s playbook?

“Russia Criminalizes The Spread Of Online News Which ‘Disrespects’ The Government”

You know he’d like to…

Also, someone should have clued him in on the Streisand Effect.

He’s got a better chance of pulling it off than any previous President, unfortunately.

Here’s the hilarious part (from the article I read on TPM):

Why, that behavior sounds like a certain pResident we all know!

As ridiculous as Devin Nunes himself may be, we should realize that the tactic of using lawsuits to silence dissent is tried and true. The Gawker case* has provided inspiration for many on the right.

Forcing people who say something you don’t like into court—where they will face all the associated costs of both time and money—is a great way of muzzling them.

Nebraska is basically one big lake at the moment. It’s crazy.

Gee, and global warming doesn’t even exist to dry it up.

Just in case the subtext here is not painfully obvious to everyone listening, Steve King is an out-and-proud white supremacist and has been for a very long time. Iowa is 90% white, 3% black. New Orleans is 33% white, 60% black.

President Trump announces major disaster declaration for 56 Iowa counties

So I guess Iowans need help in the face of disaster too. (this should not in any way be considered a knock on Iowans)

Chaeeeena is really stepping up its hoax game, huh ?

Senator Mike Lee: The solution to climate change is for people to get married and have more babies. In particular, for Americans to get married and have more babies.

And as evidence for his claims, he gave us a poster of Ronald Reagan riding a dinosaur and firing a machine gun.

It’s also the solution to overpopulation! Having more babies will lead to more smart people that can come up with solutions to the overpopulation problem. It’s so simple!

Congressman Mo Brooks read Mein Kampf into the Congressional record, quoting a passage where Hitler (“another socialist”) attacked Jews, using it to attack Democrats and the press.
