Stupid Republican idea of the day

Who the fuck is funding Wohl and Burkman? Are they paying for all this stupidity themselves?

I think Wohl’s dad is rich. Plus, you know the same folks who provided O’Keefe with funding are probably helping out, either because they believe this shit themselves or because they’re hoping that, eventually, something will stick and the target will dissolve like ACORN did.

Wohl claimed to the pretend victim that he was working for the White House.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick calls Beto O’Rourke ‘light in the loafers’ on Laura Ingraham show.

‘light in the loafers’ is a gay euphemism? That’s a new one to me.

Its actually rather old, from the time when homosexual men were presumed to be effeminate, like “limp-wristed”.

See Light in the loafers - phrase meaning and origin

“…Of a male, from the mincing manner of walking adopted by some: …”

What did you think the saying meant? Or, had you never heard the saying?

I might have heard it. Never really thought about it I guess.

For years I thought it meant an ineffectual, lightweight sort of person. Several years ago there was a piece in the New Yorker that made a reference to the true meaning, and light dawned.

It’s possible that Dan Patrick shares my former ignorance. I doubt he reads the New Yorker.

So the GOP appear to be sending out “Congressional Census” forms and demanding that they be returned with a $15 “processing fee”. And why not - Ted Cruz got away with it.

Moreover, the president can’t commit crimes while he’s in office.

This looks almost exactly like the Republican Survey form I wrote on this Board about a couple of weeks ago, right down to the “official document” notice on the envelope and the $15 processing fee.

Wow. This needs to be looked into.

That’s some SERIOUS shit. Part of my job involves providing data to the Census Bureau. You do NOT mess with the census. Anything faked or data released or used for other means could get me jail time.

Of course this shit is fake, but still, you do NOT mess with the Census Bureau. I’ve been looking for census contacts, but am on vacation. I have let Denver 9News know.

Yeah, I’ve gotten at least two of those, festooned with bullshit “Official Document, Do Not Discard” notations. I’m a little unclear as to how the RNC got the notion that I’m some sort of steadfast supporter. I’m perfectly clear on the degree of contempt they apparently have for their own constituents.

Have you gone to the cops? That’s mail fraud.

They don’t care if you’re a supporter or not.

They only care if they can con you out of your money using deception.

Naw, I binned them. It appears they just manage to avoid mail fraud anyway, as described via the link in Czarcasm’s post (41050).
