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

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

 

[Axaday]

It really is strange that Easter has its own moving calculation and doesn't use the one Passover uses. If not following Passover, there really isn't any reason not to just make it the first Sunday in April or something.

Anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ resolutions to be voted on at state Republican convention • North Dakota Monitor

A resolution to be considered by North Dakota Republican Party delegates at their upcoming convention would define life as beginning at fertilization and call for criminal penalties for “anyone who kills a pre-born human being.”

This could likely be the template for the Party going into November; it seems like everything they want.

When you're so drunk that you get told to turn it down at a Trump event, that's pretty embarrassing. Or would be for anyone with an actual sense of shame.

Imagine being Lauren Boebert and getting so drunk people can tell your behavior is actually the result of being drunk and not just the result of being Lauren Boebert.

I'm having a hard time imagining trump paying for an open bar.

I doubt Trump even pays for his own drinks.

Let them pass it.

“polluting atmospheric activity” that is “harmful to humans or the environment.

This covers everything from industrial activity of any kind to FARTING. Let them pass it, then let every democrat with two brain cells to rub together waste every penny of the state of minnesotas budget chasing cars and gassy dogs.

More priorities on display from Tennessee.

"Why should Minnesota get to be the only state to embarrass themselves with this nonsense?"

"Critics" is a funny way to spell "everyone who doesn't live in right-wing-wacko-make-believe-land".

Now quick, scour this bill for wording that could be used to prosecute literally everyone we don't like for driving a CO2-emitting car.
