Stupid Republican idea of the day

Rudy Giuliani jumps head first into the Seth Rich conspiracy. When Daily Beast questioned him about it, he replied, “Either you haven’t been trained in proper ***seductive ***[sic] reasoning or the most truthful explanation is irrelevant."

Seductive reasoning is when girls have to pole dance to pay their way through their philosophy PhD, right ?

But what the ever-lovin’ fuck does “the most truthful explanation” mean? "I’ll have Italian dressing on my word salad” ?

Liberty Counsel, which SPLC has called a hate group, is representing Kentucky homophobe former county clerk Kim Davis. An appeals court has ruled that she has to pay the attorney’s fees for four gay couples who had sued her over her refusal to grant them marriage licenses. The Liberty Counsel is begging for money, say she, and they, don’t have the money to pay.

Devin Nunes’ lawsuit against Twitter and three Twitter users for being mean to him is being held in Richmond, Virginia. His attorney argued that Twitter and the users were involved in “an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life.” Nunes’ lawyer said that Twitter allowing the parody accounts to exist was equivalent to negligently giving them a gun.

So in other words, he’s saying that it’s the inalienable and God-given right of all Americans to have Devin Nunes parody twitters, and the only thing that stops a bad Devin Nunes is good guy with a Devin Nunes parody account.

Right?

Well, so is allowing Republicans to hold elected office.

First the poolboy and now his personal trainer. Falwell sure likes to inexplicably divert large sums of money to young gentlemen.

Now, I know you are implying that there is icky gay stuff going on - but it could be that Junior enjoys watching while his wife enjoys handsome young men.

No, I actually think the cuckold thing is the more likely scenario here considering we already know that Cohen fixed the issue of picture’s of Falwell’s wife.

it could be blithe and bonney and good gay stuff – why does the gay stuff always have to be icky? What is wrong with people, the stuff is gay, ffs.

Let’s see if I can remember the rantings of my Evangelical relatives well enough –

[li]If it’s a same-sex affair, that’s the temptation of Satan imposing anti-Christian values in order to corrupt young people. Everyone involved is engaged in an “unnatural lifestyle.”[/li][li]If it’s an opposite-sex affair, that brazen hussy is clearly the one at fault for luring the innocent Christian man into sin with her evil, lustful ways. If she had just stayed in the kitchen where she belonged, the good Christian man would have remained at his obedient wife’s side.[/li][/ul]

Arriving Harvard Freshman was sent back to Lebanon. First he was detained for eight hours at Boston’s airport; his passwords were demanded; US Customs and Border Protection spent five hours studying his laptop and smartphone; decided that some of his Facebook Friends had anti-US (anti-Trump?) views.

They wouldn’t need to check Facebook to learn that my views are very anti-Trump. Would I also be turned back?

Trump has enabled so much hatred. It’s all so very sad.

Okay, let’s break this down:

  1. It’s “blithe and bonney and good gay stuff” to other gay people (maybe, could still be icky depending on the participants, but it’s a value call rather than a judgement call).
  2. It’s just regular gay stuff to people who aren’t gay, but also aren’t complete assholes.
  3. It’s “icky gay stuff” to people who are gay, but are desperately trying to not let anybody know that. “See, I called it ‘icky’! That means I can’t possibly be dreaming of being the meat in that hot sweaty man sandwich! No, no, that’s just my phone in my pocket.”
    3a. It could also be “icky gay stuff” to people who aren’t gay, but just generally hate all people including themselves. For them, anything is bad, the gay part is just icing on the cake.

I just told this story to my wife (who has learned how to speak Sarcastic from me). Her response:
"That’s why I don’t click Like on your Facebook posts. Who wants to be Friends with anti-Trump people? :stuck_out_tongue: "

This atrocity started back in March 2018. Does anyone even remember when this kicked off?

Okay, this is off-topic, but I can’t take it any more.
