After Kentucky required schools to display the national motto “In God We Trust”, Fayette County schools found a creative form of malicious compliance:
Kentucky Republicans haz a sad:
Given that the law specifies the school cafeteria as a qualifying “prominent location”, I would have gone with the classic “IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH”, but the dollar bill picture works too.
I just hope that when they copied the bill, they increased its size by at least 50%.
Air Force member in uniform called “distasteful” for speaking Spanish in uniform.
After Chuck Shumer commented on July being the hottest month on record, Senator John Cornyn replied, “It’s summer, Chuck.”
I hope we can count on Senator Cornyn to take up the “bring a snowball into the Senate in February to disprove climate change” mantle, should Senator Inhofe find himself unable to serve.
Yeah. Was somebody able to help Senator Cornyn understand that all the previous Julys (and Junes and Augusts) were summer too?
Republicans in general really seem to have a problem understanding the distinction between season and climate.
Almost-packed house at Steve King’s town hall
From a twitter comment: This happens when supporters are not allowed to wear their hoods to the gathering.
And another: Just a hunch, but I’m guessing @SteveKingIA will not be comparing his crowd with Elton John’s.
Laugh? Thought I’d surely die!
I liked these:
and the very best one:
Hey, it took us a decade to reach 40K, though progress has been slow, what with the CFSG sucking up all the oxygen, suckily. But I think this thread has postential. It may well reach that post count in our children’s children’s lifespans.
I love that they called it ‘political games’…as if the stupid bill was serious and important business.
Republicans have a problem distinguishing weather and climate change.
“Ha! It’s raining today and the high’s only 80 when the norm is 95-degrees? Where’s your Global Warming now, monkey boy?”
You laugh but D’nesh D’Souza recently posted a picture of snow in August and triumphed “where’s your global warming when there’s snow in Summer!!”.
The picture was from Australia.
The English sent perfectly good calendars down there when they were colonizing Australia, so it’s not his fault the Australians don’t know when summer and winter are supposed to be.
Devin Nunes’s cow has a twitter account .
Only 'cause it hurts too much to cry. As I get older I grow ever more thankful I never had any sprogs to face the future after I’m gone.
John Cornyn is trying to claim that his summer comment was a joke and liberals have no sense of humor.
That’s Republican 101. Same thing with Trump. His followers say that he’s only kidding when someone calls out the bullshit, but the original hope was to plant another seed of stupidity in the “minds” of the (many) dumber supporters.
Wasn’t sure where to put this, but it’s too fun to pass up.
The New York Times has put together something called the 1619 Project, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first black slaves in the British American colonies, and to recognize the central importance of the institution of slavery in the history of the United States. It’s an excellent piece of work.
Former GOP House Leader (and, astoundingly, former history professor) Newt Gringrich tweeted today, giving a rather predictable take on the 1619 Project:
That’s par for the course, coming from Gingrich.
What I really liked was the response by leftist sports historian and journalist David Zirin:
Mike drop right there.
Well damn!
