Republicans Say the Darndest Things!

I missed this a couple weeks ago. Maybe it should be in the humor thread, but given her repeated anti-semitism I find this more frustrating than funny.

I wonder if she used space lasers to light the candles?

She doesn’t.

But Jews do. All eight crazy nights of Yom Kippur.

She would say she knows some Jewish people so how could she be anti-semitic?

It’s bad when a Big Bang Theory writer can dunk on you.

Not abuse victims here, but another group apparently experienced adverse outcomes due to the emergency alert

Is Yoder like Smith in the Amish community? Seems to be a common name. (Or does Yoda have a sneaky-rudder NYC cousin?)

This is a very common name in the Amish communities around where I live.

Albeit, not all of the Yoders are Amish.

Probably had some effect on rooting out secret phones used by people to cheat on their spouses as well.

Was this alert different than the one that happened under TFG? I thought is was the same thing and if it was, why are they losing their poop now, but not last time?

I think they lost their poop then too, but have short memories.

So they were full of sh*t both times.

I don’t remember the last one. Was it before or after we all got 5G pumped into our veins?

Michael Benz, a former Trump State Department official whose work has been cited in congressional hearings and promoted by Elon Musk, has become a go-to voice for Republican criticism of government and social media censorship in the past year.

In interviews with white nationalists, Frame Game blamed Jews for “controlling the media” and for the decline of the white race. “If you were to remove the Jewish influence on the West,” he said in one video, “white people would not face the threat of white genocide that they currently do.”

At least he was self-aware enough to use a pseudonym when being openly awful.

Major GOP/MAGA donor is asking for $100,000 back from a LA gubernatorial candidate. The candidate hired a staffer who sexually harassed his now ex-wife… Trashelle.

The one under TFG was in 2018 according to the NYT. Seems like roll out of 5G started in 2019. So apparently before 5G. Looks like there may have been a test in 2021 as well.

“Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor was he?” said Trump in a mix-up between the fictional character’s name and Anthony Hopkins, the actor who played the cannibal in the 1991 film.

“You know why I like him? Because he said on television on one of the – ‘I love Donald Trump.’ So I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that, he was in my camp, I was in his camp. I don’t care if he was the worst actor, I’d say he was great to me.”

Hopkins has not publicly supported Trump and neither have other actors who have portrayed Hannibal Lecter including Mads Mikkelsen and Brian Cox, the latter of whom called Trump “such a fucking asshole” and “so full of shit.”

Some right-wing media are saying that just mispronounced Hannity and that social media is over reacting. I guess they’re saying that Hannity is an actor?

From his IMDB entry:

That being said, in the video clip His Cheetoness clearly invokes “Silence of the Lambs”, and that doesn’t appear to be in Hannity’s filmography.

The 45th president, 10/7 in Iowa. Begins with a fundamental lack of knowledge of the Israel-Palestine conflict, devolves into just the most random things.

The Israeli attack was made because we are perceived as being weak and ineffective and with a really weak leader.

If it’s after the ninth month and the baby was born, you put the baby aside. You discuss with the mother and if the mother doesn’t want the baby we execute the baby. This is part of their thing.

(Referring to his lawyer’s ineptitude at getting him a jury trial)

And I don’t get a jury, so even if I had a tough jury I’d win but I’m not allowed to have a tough jury. Nothing to do with checking a box. You know what they all said, oh the lawyer. No, you can’t check a box. There’s no box to check.

[Biden] spends so much time at the beach, how do you do that and, you know, I have a much better body than him. But I’m not really sure that I want to expose it.

Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor he was. You know why I like him? Because he said on television ‘I love Donald Trump’ so I love him.

This isn’t really a darndest thing…but I didn’t want to create a new thread just for this.

Apparently Forbes has published a new Top 400 list, and someone’s upset that he’s not on it anymore.
