Republicans Say the Darndest Things!

It doesn’t even make sense in the context.

She’s apparently telling the judge what they can do with their order.

but she seems to use it for both wins and losses

I’m at least glad she’s chosen Suck It rather than Shoot It.

I am feeling really old today because I remember when politicians were articulate and civil in their speech.

Does either having been a governor or in Trump’s cabinet mean a person deserves to be called a politician?

From a former AO regular on Facebook

MTG’s stupidity is beyond question, but do we know whether she had a federally funded education (or at least attended federally funded educational institutions)?

She graduated from South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia, in 1992,[36][37] and the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.[37][38]

Then would how goddamned stupid she is be an argument against federally funded education?

If you are looking for consistency you are going to find yourself frustrated a lot for the next few years.

Of course, you are probably going to be frustrated anyway, but still…

These mostly aren’t new statements, but is a fun compilation.

Tim Burchett, a Republican representative, would like you to know that he is not a straw man. No sir. Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, the Tennessee lawmaker explained that he is a red-blooded American male who does not “drink out of a straw” because “that’s what the women in my house do”. And no self-respecting man wants to be like the women in their house, do they? Yuck.

Why did Burchett feel the need to tell us all what he likes to put in his mouth? Because the Fox News host Jesse Watters has some very strange ideas about masculinity and, back in March, came up with “rules for men”. These include: don’t drink soup in public, don’t cross your legs, don’t drink from a straw (it makes your lips purse in an “effeminate” manner), don’t drink milkshakes and “don’t wave simultaneously with two hands”.

More than 4 million people tune into Watters’ primetime show and the man is constantly reinforcing toxic ideas about gender. Watters, for example, has suggested that he doesn’t really think fathers are responsible for raising their daughters. “When you raise a son, you are responsible for that son,” Watters said last year. “It’s not like raising a daughter, it’s different.” He’s also denigrated fathers who leave work early to spend time with their children.

I cross my legs when I sit, drink milkshakes in public with a straw, take care of my daughters, and adjust my work schedule to spend more time with my kids. And completely agree with Watters that I’m not a real man and have chosen to do something about it.

He also ripped on men who grocery shop with their wives.

No milkshakes? WTF??
what a jackass, which is precisely what every one of his rules is for. Fucking jackasses.

I strongly suspect watching soccer is on his no-no list. You are out of luck.

Probably.
I hope he has instructions on how i can be a man again.

So i can laugh at it and him.

“Can I make money off of insecure idiots? Yes, yes I can.”

If he doesn’t, there apparently is a group that does.

Will joining make me masculine, or is it a prerequsite?

And why is that song from Mulan stuck in my head, and i feel like singing and dancing?

And does that automatically exclude me?

Asking for a friend.

Father Moses tells his congregation there are two ways of serving God - being a monk or a nun, or getting married.

I count three.

Father Moses could have used the term “monastic” rather than “monk or nun”, but perhaps he knows that his flock is unfamiliar with the gender-neutral term.
