Republicans Say the Darndest Things!

I know that a Constitutional Amendment is much harder than a law, which is why I said it will not happen for a long time.

I have hope within 200 years it will happen, if we’re still a country.

It could. And every time the GOP takes control of both houses and the Oval office, it would be banned. Then, back and forth for all of time.

Not sure whether to share this here or in the WTF thread:

Jan 6 guy claims to have not known that Congress meets at the Capitol.

JR Majewski, MAGA devotee, Q promoter, and GOP nominee for a Congressional race in Ohio, was called out in an AP story for lying about his background. Specifically he’s touted his experience fighting in Afghanistan but apparently did a short stint in Qatar loading planes, far away from any combat action. He apparently also greatly embellished other parts of his resume

The GOP was thinking he had a good shot to win, and had a $960K ad buy to support him in the race. They quietly pulled the entire buy after news broke.

Why is it in this thread? Because Majewski came up with a doozy today to explain why military records don’t back up his combat claims: all of his military service is classified.

What’s more, Majewski issued threats to sue the Associated Press, and said that in Congress he would push for new laws to make it a crime to “besmirch veterans” such as himself.

I’d like to believe that all the stuff the AP dug up might matter, but …

“At the end of the day, this will be a question of whether they want Nancy Pelosi leading the House or Kevin McCarthy,” said Tom Davis, a former congressman who led the House Republican campaign arm during George W. Bush’s presidency. “These elections have become less about the person. I wouldn’t say candidates don’t matter, but they don’t matter like they used to.”

Interesting that he would divulge his classified military service.
So, he either lied about it, or just committed a federal crime.

Wonder which way he will go.

Ted Striker : My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.

Elaine Dickinson : When will you be back?

Ted Striker : I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.

I don’t disagree, but interesting that the GOP pulled their big ad buy for this guy in what was expected to be a close race.

Clip is dated but this guy is currently campaigning with Mastriano:

The blue line excludes The FBI and the Justice Dept.

This gives a whole new meaning to MAGA.

Could be true, and I suppose probably is, given the affidavit, but it really stretches credulity to think Paxton could believe he’ll be able to continue to avoid being served.

You’d be surprised how irrational people can be about things like getting served.
