What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

[Ironbite4]

The problem with that is there is no Republican Speaker they want. Any that run are the best of the worst or the worst of the worst. That's how bad the party has gotten in Congress. There is literally no working with them as they will always, always, go against the good of the country. Why? To own the libs. Whatever that means.

Ironbite-it's like woke, it's a meaningless phrase now.

The the Democrats go shoulder to shoulder, they only need 4 Republicans to vote with them. They would just have to find a Republican whose constituents would be impressed by bipartisanship and not turn on them for essentially caucusing with Democrats. I'm not sure that district exists.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Those republicans voters exist: but they do not exist in concentrations to find you four republican officials willing to risk it.

I expect you are correct. Even in districts that are pretty moderate, a Republican would probably unseat them in a primary.

When the second back Republican announced resignation, I read that perhaps 5 more were going to follow him, but I couldn't find that as a quote from him. It may have just been a journalists analysis or speculation. He DID say SOME more would and 1 has. 5 would make Marjorie suffer regret.

Ken buck when walking out the door said "Don't worry about me leaving, worry about the next three" or something to that effect. But he said THREE, specifically.

 

[Axaday]

That isn't quite enough.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Nope, but at times like this I take solace in some inuit wisdom:

"No one snowflake thinks its to blame for the avalanche". Buck might very well have started the top level walking out that we've been seeing on the voter level for years now.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton cuts deal to have fraud charges dropped, trial canceled

Paxton, a Republican who was charged with felony securities fraud in 2015, has reached a deal with prosecutors that will let him avoid facing a jury next month. He did not have to admit guilt in agreeing to the terms.

Because the GOP only has the best people, behold: Brian Pritchard, Georgia Republican official.
Claims the 2020 election was stolen. Also illegally voted nine times while on probation for a forgery felony. Fined $5000, because obviously he was.

Class act, this fellow.

Michigan lawmaker says 'illegal invaders' landed at DTW. They were NCAA basketball teams.

Matthew Maddock, a Republican lawmaker, said buses were filled with "illegal invaders," but the buses were there to transport teams to Detroit.

And he still has the tweet up.

Ironbite-guess he gets off getting his balls crushed.

 

[Axaday]

From what I read, he doesn't believe the debunk. Or doesn't believe his readers will.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Either he's honestly stupid enough to believe it, or he knows his voting base is stupid enough. Either way, it stirs up more hate and fear, and the GOP loves that. Angry stupid people are easily controlled.

The Trump camp and the White House clash over Biden's recognition of 'Transgender Day of Visibility'

Trump's campaign accused the Roman Catholic Biden of being insensitive to religion.

apnews.com

Conservatives are losing their jive because Biden didn't reschedule Transgender Day of Visibility - which always takes place on March 31st - so that it doesn't fall on the same day as their notoriously floating holiday.

But it's liberals who are the sensitive crybaby snowflakes.

There are people who will actually mock the idea of a man transitioning into a woman while they expect us to take them seriously when they speak of clay transitioning into a man, a rib transitioning into a woman, a god transitioning into another man, that man transitioning into a cracker, and the cracker transitioning back into that man when you eat it.

FOXNews is saying that the crew of a Singaporean cargo ship was entirely composed of non-white people because of DEI and "woke" hiring policies, and not ... you know ... the fact that the ship comes from the other side of the world.

This is the kind of rampant stupidity which the conservative movement has been reduced to.

On Fox News' part, it's not stupidity, it's cynicism, because they know that DEI is the new hotness in right-wing anger bait, so everything possible gets twisted into fuel for that particular fire.

Maybe we need a Constitutional Amendment locking up March 22 - April 25. Easter is a big enough deal to get 1/12 of the year all to itself, right?

That’s what the candy companies WANT you to think!

It's actually Easter's fault for not falling on the Sunday after Passover like it's supposed to.
