Or a sock. One anti-government & anti-police poster gets banned for trolling & socking; a few days later, this anti-government fool shows up while another newbie starts disparaging the police and calling everyone who doesn’t agree “morons”.
Cut off one head and two more shall rise in its place!
Hail Hydra!
GOP candidate (NC-6) Mark Walker suggests (video) that to stop those darn Mexicans from sneaking over the border we might need to “go laser or blitz somebody with a couple of fighter jets for a little while to make our point”.
Rush on rape: “No means yes if you know how to spot it.”
Limbaugh: “I think the Republicans exhibit classic battered wife traits!”
OK, I’ll defer to your personal expertise in that area . . .
I dunno. I’m a teensy bit uncomfortable condemning her for that, since I have a similar message for anyone considering voting for a Republican for anything at all…
We need them. We need them cleaned up and with their noses wiped, but we still need them. If the Dems totally won everything, then every shallow and ambitious twat in the country will follow the scent of power and start pretending to be progressive. Fuck *that *shit!
Second, control group. “How good is this idea?” “Well, how loud are they screaming?”
Also, someone to blame when we don’t want to fight about it. “Sure, $100 megbucks for the Twyla Tharp Memorial Insitutute of Interpretive Dance in Branson, Missouri. Great idea, love her work, but the Republicans…”
They can offer a valid function as the Loyal Opposition, soon’s they learn to go on the paper.
I don’t have enough buckets anyway…
Republicans always have a fondness for the way things never were.

Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.) appeared at an event organized by the No Labels organization – yes, that No Labels – and said something similar about the bygone era he still longs for.
“I started my stint under President Bill Clinton,” Salmon said, “and I’m the opposite party and I’d give my right arm to have him back right now.”
Salmon, of course, voted in favor of four articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton.

That’s more a case of not appreciating what we had. Much as Bush made Democrats appreciate Reagan more, Obama has made Republicans practically love Clinton. Some say we always look back more fondly at past Presidents, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. Clinton wasn’t just better than Obama, he was better than Carter and LBJ too. Republicans probably knew it on at least some level, because they actually worked with Clinton pretty well legislatively after losing the shutdown fight.
Anyway, if Hillary becomes President, that will test my hypothesis. I do think she’ll get along with Republicans far better than Obama has.
He was also better than Bush, Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon and probably Eisenhower.
And no, Shrubya didn’t make me appreciate Reagan; Reagan made Shrubya possible, so that’s just another mark against him.
Well, she’s a wimmin. But at least she ain’t black.
Thanks for the laugh. But I think you’re in the wrong thread.
You’re going to have to explain that word to them.
Total agreement. Democracy can only work with a Loyal Opposition.
In California, for a while, we’ve had a Democratic majority in the State House of over 2/3 in both houses. I’m loving it…but it isn’t right. It’s bad democracy. The opposition should have enough power to perform the basic necessities of obstructionism.
The assholes now running the RP need to go back and take high school civics classes again.
Yeah, apart from impeaching him they were tight.
They hated him, no doubt. Yet for some reason Gingrich actually liked working with him. Their weird relationship has been covered in a lot of books from the time.
