  1. The Sikh hurdle is tall enough for a Democrat running for president. For a Republican? Forget it.
  2. Give that whiny-assed, performative dishonesty shit a rest.
  3. They’re an ad hoc group of social media commentators who are constantly finding themselves having to do and say abominable things to get all the likes and subscribes. They believe this is a winning electoral strategy, largely because being a Republican has a prerequisite requirement known as “believing in belief.” Let them keep believing it…after all, it’s worked so well for them since they started doing it in 2018
  4. Yeah he’s attending some conference of nuclear physicists first and then he will address this issue just before his mission to the Moon.
  5. Well yeah, as long as that voter base happens to include “the civil war was about states’ rights” types. Blatant dishonesty is in their DNA.
  6. Dude… you’re responding to someone who couldn’t whip cream with an outboard motor.
  7. Matt Gaetz is living proof of the Theory of Evolution… if the theory was as Mrs. Harrison put it: five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel.
  8. Yeah I have no idea where it came from and it wasn't for a lack of looking around, either. The alma mater is based on a song from the Broadway musical The Red Mill, but it seems the fight song is, as you suggest, completely made up.
  9. Yup. You’re dealing with really repugnant stuff when dabbling in the whole required beliefs/prohibited beliefs thing.
  10. Well this is what they had in their platform statement back in 2012: Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority. Of course, as previously mentioned, they’ve since scrubbed this off their main website and put something more tempered in its place…but who the fuck are they kidding? We’re supposed to believe that the 2023 Texas GOP is a more intellectual lot than their 2012 counterparts?
  11. Yes they updated it much in the same way chicken restaurants replace the word “fried” with “crispy.”
  12. Seriously our own state’s GOP has a formal position against critical thinking. If there’s a hurdle bigger than that one, I’ve yet to see it.
  13. Oh just the kind that fatty, incredulity, et al enjoy/tolerate. You know the kind…
  14. Nothing that they do makes any sense…if you look at the GOP as a traditional political party and a bunch of elected officials. If you look at them as a group of social media commentators and provocateurs, then it all makes sense.
  15. You didn’t know? Robert Burns invented a time machine, went to America a century and a half into the future and stole it!
  16. Seriously, if all one has is “it feels that way,” they have an obligation to excuse themselves from the discussion. Makes a political statement, demands no CR. Yeah that totally checks out.
  17. Not to mention that some of the docs Trump was known to possess were of a TS/SCI nature, which to me is the most under-reported and under-discussed element of the story. Plus, the key phrase in the Trump case, legally speaking, is "willful retention." Far be it from me to have to explain that to a lawyer such as yourself, but the motherfuckers who try to draw this false equivalence haven't the foggiest clue what that is. Either way, when people are known to have stolen those kinds of docs (TS/SCI), they wind up taking a detour into Billy Batts-ville. But sure, let's talk about how Biden's lawyers voluntarily turning over a paltry sum of docs upon first discovery is anywhere near the same because BOTH SIDES!!!
