On the other hand, I feel like stupid insane **** like that should also be called out for what it is. I probably wouldn't have been able to stop myself from saying "Representative Gohmert, you have won the top prize. I have never in my entire decades long career been asked a question as dumb as the one you just asked. How you're able to walk and breathe at the same time is one of the great mysteries of our era." 10 hours ago, The Evil Genius said: Moron: "What is it that's being transmitted to these unvaccinated people?"

88Comrade2000 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Trump is pretty weak cult leader. The GOP and their voters are completely in his control. They will do anything to please their God and master. I don't know why Trump doesn't literally have each candidate he supports; literally kiss his fat ass. Have those supporters and candidates bow to him, like the God they claim thim to be. Demand candidates and supporters give him their wives and daughters, to do whatever he wants with. Demand all those candidates/supporters have hairstyles that he approves of. Go the full North Korean cult leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years a portion of the electorate...generally called the republican base...has undermined science, knowledge and learning while raising ignorance to the level of a virtue. To his base, this is virtue signaling. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I do believe that Gohmert truly is a very stupid person, but I also agree with @Jabbyrwockthat what he was doing there was pretty much pure signaling to the right wing base. The elevation of ignorance as a virtue in the Republican electorate isn't at all new, but it's reached new and profound heights during the Trump years. They've gone from sneering at and dismissing scientists who's conclusions run afoul of their ideology, to being overtly and actively hostile towards them (the number of people on the right wing rags who want to either imprison or execute Fauci is pretty stunning). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Gohmert is one of a number of stupid, conniving Texans in government, either local, state, or federal. Thankfully in Cedar Park and neighboring Leander we've voted them out of local government. My Representative is John Carter is one of those insurrectionists that voted to overturn the Electoral College on January 6-7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that in college by a white girl who I had become friends with and who was coming on to me at a party while we danced. Some hometown friends had come up to visit her one weekend while I was in her dorm room, and I stayed while they talked. She mentioned that a guy had cut her off on the road and while recounting what happened said angrily "Then this n****r cut me off..."---her friends' eyes grew REAL wide lol, and they looked at me. Then she looked up at me and her expression went to "Oh, ****' real quick. She forgot I was in the room (old joke come to life). That's when she uttered the line I wrote up above. Needless to say we didn't remain friends. I don't think she ever apologized. Edited June 9, 2021 by Califan007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) We KNOW what Gohmert is doing and why he does it. Why that woman said "I'lll look into it and get back to you" is the problem. Yes, we all know she is being dismissive, but the people Gohmert is signalling sit back and laugh because once again someone made it sound as if it was worth discussing and was too restrained by polite decency to say what needs to be said. (Look, HE is not decent in the slightest by even asking. Quit playing their ****ing game.) what she should have done and what they should ALL do whenever Gohmert or any of that cabal of idiots plays this game is shut him down. say "NO, that would be ridiculous, Mr. Senator, and no reasonble person would believe it. Do you believe this may have happened, Senator? Do you believe BLM and the Park Service can MOVE THE MOON?!" And then she should roll her eyes and the second he opens his mouth to talk, she should cut him off and ask him if he has anything based on reality to bring to the discussion and see what his dumbass does then. Let them scream, let him flounder, and call his stupid ass to the carpet. DON'T appease it by pretending it's worth even hearing. Stop playing the role they set us up to play. **** these people means **** THESE PEOPLE. **** THEM. **** his office, **** his position, he and they deserve none of the respect of a decent society that they are trying to destroy. No more decency, no more manners, no more acting like they aren't doing exactly what they are doing. Show me ANYBODY in our government with enough guts to start to try and put a stop to this. ~Bang Edited June 9, 2021 by Bang 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 State GOPs Can’t Explain Millions In ‘Trump Victory’ Cash Months after the Federal Election Commission notified several GOP state parties of major gaps in their 2020 fundraising and spending reports, the committees are correcting their numbers—but they still can’t explain why the discrepancies occurred. The issue has raised new questions about possible abuse of a longstanding campaign finance loophole that allows wealthy megadonors to cut massive checks. Last year a number of Republican state parties failed to disclose transfers in the hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, of dollars, which violates reporting requirements. “There are layers of problems here, but the basic question is whether the state parties complied with federal disclosure requirements,” Paul Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at election reform advocacy group Common Cause, told The Daily Beast. It appears systemic. The FEC has so far sent notices to 10 of those 46 state parties that failed to report high-dollar same-day transfers from joint fundraising committees and to the RNC. So far, all but one have responded. But their explanations have been incomplete or nonexistent. For example, the Rhode Island Republican Party seemed only to acknowledge the error occurred but did not address how or why. “The $251,771.78 for the Post General report was missed on the original 30 Day Post General report that was filed so an amended report was filed to include that.” The party later filed another amendment disclosing more than $455,500 in transfers from Trump Victory, but did not offer an explanation in that letter either. The problem stems from joint fundraising agreements—teams of political committees that join together to increase their party’s fundraising power and reach. The arrangements are legal, but it appears the GOP has used them to secretly pass millions of dollars from Trump Victory to the RNC through apparently oblivious state committees.

hail2skins Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 GPB says "Trump was the only thing standing between the country and socialism," and then rattles off the national debt figures. As if Trump wasn't responsible for some of it, even before covid. What a twit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
