Ok so they may not be republican, but the owner of a foreign language school did just fire one of their employees for writing an article explaining homophones, on the basis that the school would now be associated with homosexuality.

It’s definitely stupid , but possible not repuplican, oh wait, from Provo Utah.
The headlines just write themselves. “Homophobes against homophones”
I would be more concerned that the top ESL school in Utah does not think that college prepping foreign students are capable of being exposed to the concept that some words in English sound the same but have different spelling and meanings.
Maybe he wants to give them a few drinks and get their inhibitions down before he brings that up.
Their out of there fucking minds over they’re!
As it is clearly a stupid Republican idea wafting about, I have become curious on this point: if the House passes articles of impeachment on whatever vaporous grounds they can gin up, is the Senate then required to conduct the trial, or can they just ignore the charges (the way a judge can summarily dismiss a case or the SCOTUS can refuse to hear an appeal)?
They got gay phones now? What, the straight kind aren’t good enough?
The straight phones aren’t fabulous enough.
Even grammar is turning on the Republicans! 
Of course she is, with all that rape talk. They can still count on the Gramper vote, though.
The phones themselves are asexual. It’s the cases you gotta watch out for.
Wait a minute, Siri is a girl, right? An ordinary, everyday, straight type girl? Look, I need an answer for this, and I’m not about to explain why.
Haven’t you heard? It’s only Democrats and Obama’s staffers who keep bringing up impeachment.
You know, Democrats like Steve Scalise, Sarah Palin, and Lou Barletta.
Dude - that’s not what that port is for.
The local news that I watch (which generally has a conservative editorial slant) after showing the clip from Boehner blaming the Democrats, reeled off a list of House Republicans that have called for impeachment. It was pretty surprising that even the media that supports Republicans is not buying it.
Wow.
I go on vacation for a week, and GOP stupidity seems to have taken a nosedive aimed at about 50 feet below the bottom of the barrel. Official theocracy, secession, nullification, more regressive taxes, the destruction of the Federal government… holy shit :eek: But I think the article on the Texas GOP platform holds the key to perhaps this entire thread:
And Rick Perry wants to cut education funding still more. Texas isn’t the only place where the education system is basically in a state of failure. And these uneducated, ignorant people grow up to be fundamentalists and Republicans, and that’s good for billionaires, and there you have it.
Of course he does. Why should they be smarter than him?
It’s not clear to me. In the wikipedia section on the US impeachment process, it simply says the senate tries someone if the house votes to. However, a senator was once not tried after the house voted to impeach, because the senate expelled the senator. Then it says that sets a precedent for congresspeople not being impeached because there are other methods for removal. So probably the senate has to conduct a trial if the house impeaches the president.
Give him credit: he figured out it would be cheaper to buy all the high school failures cheap glasses to make them look smart, rather than pay the $ so they’d actually be smart.
It’s kinda like Republicans are hoping to stumble onto the slogan that will go unstoppably viral, like (for example) “No more gay in the U.S.A.!” Something that goldfish-brained voters can remember, repeat and act upon.
To that end, Republicans will say any damn fool thing just to see what sticks.
Yore to mien. Eye (aye?) was taut a lode of grammar and its reel tuff. Sew, git off you’re hi hoarse.
