Stupid Republican idea of the day

Individual 1 supporter arrested for threatening Elizabeth Warren supporter with a gun.

GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz thinks a “kangaroo court” involves Captain Kangaroo.

Expect more of this.

The real worry will come when law enforcement stops arresting the Trump supporter with the gun, and starts arresting the bumper sticker owner for “inviting threats” or some such.

That’s a stretch. Might not be the best turn of phrase, and yes, it might be true, but Occam’s Razor says that he’s simply asserting that Schiff is in charge of the kangaroo court, and the statement probably isn’t to be taken literally.

Oh, come on! Captain Kangaroo is incredibly well known. There is no way an adult American today would mean anything else other than the beloved character played by Bob Keeshan when they use the character’s name. This indicates that the moron-in-question actually does think that character has something to do with “kangaroo courts”. That is how Occam’z Razor works here.

Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl have announced a press conference tomorrow where they will present a trainer who claims he had sex with Kamala Harris.

Geez, even Wile E. Coyote sometimes decided “screw this” and smashed up the ACME contraption that had repeatedly failed him.

8 year old girl kicked out of her Christian school for looking and acting too much like a boy.

Any chance it is another former Marine?

Sounds to me like the Warren/Harris ticket has the military vote locked in.

Story from 2014. Yeah, the story as reported sounds pretty shitty, but since people have called you out on this crap before, I’m just going to go ahead and assume you’re trolling right now.

<Looks at thread title>

This is not Stupid Republican Idea of FIVE AND ONE HALF FUCKING YEARS AGO.

STOP doing this, for the love of Mike!

Respectfully disagree. In other situations, I’ve used similar wordplay, not meant to be taken literally. Many of us want to believe the worst about the Gaetz’ of the world (and yet too often they surprise us by being even worse than we believed), but I think the statement a not-so-clever play on words.

I’m not saying I am 100% sure and right. I’m just not immediately jumping to the conclusion that paints Gaetz in the worst light (knowing nothing else about him, and not really caring enough about him to find out more).

He’s kind of on a roll tonight.

An incident that occurred in October, 2016.

What’s going on here, Rick? You were reformed of this crap for the past couple of months.

Rick, you Are kinda on a roll here tonight.

(I got it)

Even Fox has its limit for Trumpeters:

And in Republican “He Did What The Fuck, Now?” news there is this:

“PHOENIX - Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen has been indicted in an adoption fraud scheme, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office confirmed late Tuesday.
The assessor has for years run an adoption law practice in Mesa, which involves bringing women from the Marshall Islands to the U.S. to give birth. Their babies have been placed for adoption with U.S. parents.
Petersen is accused in the indictment of illegally obtaining services from Arizona’s Medicaid system for the women, falsely claiming the women are Arizona residents. He also is accused of violating a compact between the U.S. and the Marshall Islands. It prohibits citizens of that country to come to the U.S. if their travel is for the purpose of adoption, unless they have a special visa.”

From Fox News:

Holy fuck! Members of the Republican Party–as in the party of, one might think, republicanism–are now saying trying to impeach the President is “regicide”?!?

Gee, maybe we should have a Revolution–we could publish some kind of revolutionary manifesto, then ordain a new Constitution in the name of the people to establish this country as a Republic; we could even have some kind of Bill of Rights!

Down with the King! Long live the Republic!

This pales in comparison to the rest of the SRIsOTD. This only shows the speaker has a sense of humor you don’t find funny.

I seriously doubt Gaetz doesn’t know who Captain Kangaroo is. He was being humorous, and humor doesn’t have to follow logic. It’s like when the Master said “If ignorance were Corn Flakes, you’d be General Mills.” The pedantic immediately thinks “but Corn Flakes are made by Kellogg’s.” Is a statement meant to be absurd really worth correcting?
