The Absurd GOP

[Angrboda]

Prosecutors in the Comey case argued that they would require extra time due to the case's complexity. Apparently, their strategy is to drag out the dog and pony show before its inevitable failure.

[Angrboda]

There's an interesting wrinkle in the Comey case being that the lie he ostensibly told Congress was his affirmation of prior testimony he made in 2017. There's an argument to be made that his affirming his prior testimony by saying he stood by it was not in itself a lie, even if that 2017 testimony was untruthful. It's not clear that saying he stood by his former testimony is itself a false statement, and the statute of limitation for the prior 2017 statement had already expired.

In other news, a Texas board governing GOP affairs will be meeting to test a new rule that they passed in 2024. The new rule renders anyone censured by the board from participating in the party's primaries for two years. So the board is planning a full-day meeting to look at censuring ten Republicans for being insufficiently conservative in their legislative activities in the prior session, thus rendering them ineligible for the next primary. Republicans are endlessly inventive of finding newer and better ways to warp the process and render absurd and unjust results.

Mike Johnson just called every American who plans to attend a No Kings event on October 18 a hater of the United States.

"This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

RFK, Jr Seems Proud Of Being This Stupid

Said out loud during a Cabinet meeting:

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]“This morning before I came in here, somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman, eight months pregnant. She is an associate professor at Columbia Medical School, and she is saying ‘F Trump’ and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta,” he said, seemingly confusing the temporary organ with the uterus. “The level of ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ has now left political landscapes and it is now in the realm of pathology." [/color]

I'm not a physician, an anatomist, a pregnant woman, or (and this is important) the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, but I flatter myself that I know the difference between a placenta and a uterus.
