Stupid Republican idea of the day

Sheep-hunting? I thought this might be some sort of joke, so I clicked the link:

Was the sheep hobbled or castrated before the “hunt”? Or did Donnie and his Secret Guards bravely face the unhobbled sheep? (In the latter case, shouldn’t Donnie be decorated for valor?)

Secret Service Agent - “Honey, I have an assignment to go to Mongolia to protect a man that is going to hunt endangered sheep”
Wife - “WHAT?”
Wife wakes up next morning “I have to lay off the LSD. Honey, honey? Where did you go?”

Fox News host talks race by calling out the real enemy: Sesame Street’s Elmo

“No, you’re the puppet!”

“Really, Tucker? And who’s hand is jammed up your ass and making you speak?”

Hey, conservatives, you’re already beyond parody; you don’t need to keep pushing the envelope!

Whose. That is all. :wink:

“Honey? Apparently we have to hate Elmo now.”

“What?”

“Fox News is telling us that Elmo is Antifa, and we hate him.”

“OK then, I’ll add Elmo to the list of things and people we hate. This is getting exhausting!”

Not only pushing the envelope, but licking and cutting themselves on it!

(Thanks to Red Green.)

I’ve stopped posting most of the Oklahoma crap that goes on, there’s just too much, but this is a real winner:

"…Canadian County Sheriff Chris West announced Tuesday his office is accepting applications for a group of local volunteer residents to assist deputies in “safeguarding lives and property.”

Dubbed the “Sheriff’s Posse,” West said in a news release that the group would “serve as a rapid response force of citizens who could be called upon ‘in a minute’s notice’ to answer the call to aid in safeguarding lives and property, as well as the constitutional rights of innocent law abiding citizens of Canadian County.”

The goal is to recruit a diverse set of individuals with varying skills, from prior law enforcement officers to doctors or veterinarians, West said…"

What could go wrong? He also mentions that this is not in response to current BLM protests - wink, wink.

Note that all OK counties went for Trump last election. This guy also has a history.

I guess they’ll be ordering lots of rope, amirite?

“Sure we’re a diverse group. We have a guy with red hair. We even have a guy that lived in Chicago for a year.”

Shoot, more Oklahoma - and not from the Onion.

"…Tulsa Police Department Maj. Travis Yates, who is white, spoke to podcast host Pat Campbell on Monday about the ongoing national protests against police brutality and racial injustice following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a white Minneapolis officer was seen kneeling on his neck.

“You get this meme of, ‘Blacks are shot two times, two and a half times more,’ and everybody just goes, ‘Oh, yeah,’” Yates said on the podcast. "They’re not making sense here. You have to come into contact with law enforcement for that to occur.”…

“…Yates also specifically cites a Washington Post database on police shootings and encourages listeners to review the data. However, that analysis found that although half of the people shot and killed by police are white, black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate…”

Except looking at the data -
"…They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans. Hispanic Americans are also killed by police at a disproportionate rate,” the database states.

U.S. police officers are almost four times more likely to use force on black people than white people, according to a 2016 study published in the American Journal of Health. Black men are nearly three times more likely than white men to be killed by police intervention, according to the study."

I lived in Oklahoma (job related) for a while and still follow local news - an accident scene, you just can’t look away.:o

Ohio legislator asks if the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting black people worse because the “colored population” doesn’t wash their hands.

And, no doubt, it’s a tongue, not a hand, crammed up there.

Yet again I feel the need to mention the one and only one positive aspect of the current administration in the United States: the racist fucks have no compunction against showing who they are and exactly how racist they are. (Hint: there’s no degree to it–you’re either racist or you’re not.)

ETA: Oh, and “the colored population”? WTF? Did he forget there’s a particular word in the language starting with N that “his kind of people” use?

No, that they don’t KNOW HOW to wash their hands. He’s claiming that the “colored population” is just stupid, not inherently dirty.

Not Republicans per se but Trump supporters and I don’t want to start another thread.

Anger over anti-Fascist Resistance Radio broadcast. Problem is that it was a companion piece for Amazon’s Man in a High Castle series.

Somewhere, Orson Welles is smiling.

NASCAR driver (who has never won a race) is quitting because NASCAR has banned Confederate flags. He has also in the past said that Democrats are trying to steal the election, and that “illegals” got stimulus checks that he couldn’t get.

Good. Maybe his state will give him a check for banging his sister or something.

So he’s a loser and a quitter? No wonder he likes the Confederate Flag so much.
