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

the flag of an allied nation

Is this about some kerfuffle involving the Ukraine flag that I've been lucky enough not to hear about yet?

 

[Ungnome]

Unfortunately yes....

Thankfully they didn't make as big a deal about it as some of their other 'outrages', but it was mentioned by a few of them.

If I ever, somehow, end up in Congress, I think I'll wear and IDIC pin instead.(Not that I really have any political aspirations. I find arguments and confrontation quite draining.)

This is the most accurate Republican celebration of Black History Month I ever could've pictured.

Lawmakers want to rename a portion of Rep. John Lewis Way for former President Donald Trump

The change would only affect less than a third of a mile of the roadway near the Capitol building.

Reminds me of the faction symbol for 'Dah Boys' in Gammarauders(I know that was a tommy gun, not an AR-15, but...)

Idaho Republicans Introduce Bill Removing Student IDs and Provisional Ballots From Photo ID Law

House Bill 54 would remove student IDs from the acceptable list of identification, while continuing to accept concealed carry permits and more. Additionally, for voters who lack acceptable identification, H.B. 54 would remove the option to sign a personal identification affidavit swearing one’s identity.

House Members Waste Our Time and Money To Pass Bill “Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism”

A whopping 328 House members, including 109 Democrats, voted for the bill.

newrepublic.com

In a country ailed by the callousness of capitalism—as people are subject to a continual stream of mass shootings, ruthless police brutality, and having to resort to GoFundMe in order to pay for rent and hospital bills—members of Congress spent their workday, instead, denouncing socialism.
After Republican members on Thursday shamelessly voted to oust Representative Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, 109 Democrats joined them to pass a bill “denouncing the horrors of socialism.”
In total, 328* House members—75 percent of the chamber—participated in the farce taking place in the people’s House. The 109 Democrats, many led by the New Democrat Coalition, decided that, instead of deriding the resolution as a meaningless exercise, they’d participate in the Republican-led charade.

"flanked by huge boxes of gas stoves" certainly had my mind going in a different direction at first.

Republicans are really putting the gas back in gaslight, aren't they?

And it's because the Republican voters spend less time online that they're less likely to fact-check the lies they're told.

"flanked by huge boxes of gas stoves" certainly had my mind going in a different direction at first.

I mean... given what desantis IS, my mind went to the exact same place.

MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Donald Trump Jr are stoking a moral panic over Sam Smith dressing as Satan at the Grammys

Conservative influencers including Donald Trump Jr said the Grammy performance was part of a sinister devil-worshipping agenda.

www.businessinsider.com

You can probably guess which Republican got involved in this just by how stupid and conspiracy-based it is...

"The Grammy's featured Sam Smith's demonic performance and was sponsored by Pfizer. And the Satanic Church now has an abortion clinic in NM that requires its patients to perform a satanic ritual before services. American Christians need to get to work," said Greene.

Can't someone already start the rumor that MTG is secretly a witch?

My brother is actually married to a witch.

Please don't defame witches by comparing them to that miserable excuse of a human being.

 

[Ungnome]

Frankly, Boebert is the one who looks more like a cheap knockoff of Bayonetta so part of me is kinda upset it wasn't her instead of MTG in this case.

Bill would ban the teaching of scientific theories in Montana schools

A bill in the state Legislature seeking to regulate science curriculum in public schools got its first hearing Monday. The legislation’s sponsor says by banning scientific theories, the policy aims to prevent kids from being taught things that aren’t true.

[Ungnome]

What WILL they be able to teach in science class then? The bulk of scientific knowledge IS theory. Theory is as close as we can get to truth given current evidence, after all. Even what we tend to call scientific laws have had to be revised as new evidence has come to light(Newton's laws of motion were found to be more of an approximation of reality than actual reality after all).

 

[wonko the sane?]

Given it's montana, it probably means creationism all the time. Beau of the fifth did a video on this, and IF they even do it (cause no one is really that stupid, are they?) all it will do is cripple montana's future and population.
