Stupid Republican idea of the day

And there was much rejoicing?

Well. Yes, of course. :o But still. I’m imagining these huge, heavy animals snarfing down large piles of corn-based kibble, and… No! They eat meat! With blood in it! The lions know it’s coming, and they’re pacing back and forth and growling and groaning (they get fed only once a week). The keepers have to sort of fling these big chunks into the cages, quickly, and they slide across the floor because they’re wet with blood, and the lions fall on them, and… it’s pretty impressive. :eek:

Well, the managers of the Roman arena executions and animal-fights must have solved or dealt with that problem somehow! All that’s needed is a little historical/archaeological research! :slight_smile:

Once upon a time, perhaps. Today they probably get Nebraska brand manufactured species-appropriate feline diet containing muscle and organ meat and bone chunks (“zoo logs”). Smaller cats may get similar, or canned ZuPreem feline complete diet.

Now back to the festivities!

This is from a couple of weeks ago, but I don’t remember seeing it in this thread:

BREAKING: Supreme Court Judges Say Obama Birth Certificate A Fake

Not an Onion headline. Not a joke headline. One-hundred percent serious.
*According to a report issued by the Associate Press, an Alabama Supreme Court judge stated that Barack Obama should have to prove that he was born in the United States, and that he was eligible to be on the state ballot in 2012.

The Republican panel voted 7 to 2, to uphold the dismissal of Alabama’s secretary of state to demand a valid birth certificate from President Obama and other presidential candidates. Justice Roy Moor and Justice Tom Parker dissented.

In Moore’s dissent, he claims that it is the duty of the secretary of state to determine the eligibility of the candidates by finding out if they are U.S. citizens.*
There’s so much wrong with that, I don’t even know where to start … so I won’t.

Read the comments.

Let’s just say that nobody should be surprised that Judge Roy Moore made the SRIOTD thread. But two separate appearances only 50 posts apart? Impressive. And it looks like he’d make it more often if he were more prominent. If someone were to follow the guy around, and post here, we could have a “Stupid Republican Idea of the Past Fifteen Minutes of Judge Roy Moore’s Life” thread.

Oh, that site is MUCH funnier than the Onion. Other current stories are about how Obamacare requires everyone to be injected with a microchip, and how Chief Justice John Roberts has signed something with Interpol (??) which will allow Obama to be removed from office for treason.

And the comments are hilarious. You’ve heard that FEMA is stockpiling ammunition? The guys on this site think FEMA is stockpiling guillotines!

As I noted few days ago, South Dakota rep Steve Hickey uncorked this gem:

Now, he’s doubled down on teh stoopid (NOTE: autoplay video):

This just makes me wonder if there’s a “genetic breakdown” that causes low intelligence, obsession with other people’s gay sex, and weirdo coprophilic fantasies.

Like anyone’s going to take relationship advice from a guy whose haircut is still based on his 8th grade yearbook picture.

C’mon, cut Hickey some slack here. He’s a little sore with all the gay sex. Understandable!

It’s interesting that Hickey has accepted that sexuality is something you’re born with.

The truly disturbing part is that all his arguments could be used without alteration against men having anal sex with women! :eek: He is clearly a traitor, Bros. Something Must Be Done!

Oh, he’s struck again! He thinks we need an amendment to the Constitution to prevent same-sex marriage (nothing new there), but he’s also saying that maybe what we need is an entirely NEW Constitution. And we need a new one because Ruth Bader Ginsberg isn’t upholding the current one. Or something like that. I’m having some trouble following the argument he’s making.

That boy ain’t right.

Man, for someone who hesitates to get crude, he sure doesn’t hesitate to get crude.

I dunno. I was thinking the next time we order out I have reason to make my husband use his credit card. “C’mon. You don’t want to be disgusting do you?”

Bless his heart.

Still trying to figure out the connection between handwashing and non-ingestion of doorknobs.

You mean, you have a choice in whether to eat them? Lucky bastard.

Something to do with washing someone’s “knob” before “gobbling” it, I gather.
