@BradC That's a parody of Dubya, right?

First half is about M Green...aka I don't remember her first time. But the crazy qanon GOP that is full mask off and wants to execute other GOP members.

I guess she goes around harassing parkland survivors too. And was put on the education committee!?

Also Marjorie Taylor Greene

politico.com/news/2020/06/17/…

aka this person

> The candidate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, suggested that Muslims do not belong in government; thinks black people “are held slaves to the Democratic Party”; called George Soros, a Jewish Democratic megadonor, a Nazi; and said she would feel “proud” to see a Confederate monument if she were black because it symbolizes progress made since the Civil War.

@Nzall Of 9/11 and Bush reading to kids ?I'd say so, yes.

Legislators call for QAnon representative’s expulsion from US House aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/28/…

> The Democrats leader in the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a Thursday news conference she was “concerned” about Republican leadership “who was willing to overlook, ignore those statements. Assigning her to the Education Committee, when she has mocked the killing of little children at Sandy Hook Elementary School. When she has mocked the killing of teenagers in high school, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.”

aka the GOP continue to be absolutely and objectively evil.

> Congressman Jimmy Gomez, a California Democrat, announced on Tuesday he will introduce a resolution to expel Greene from Congress.

I honestly can't begin to wrap my head around how the GOP get away with this shit.

At least at the federal level holy shit

Derek Sloan got ousted by the conservatives party so fucking quick after the capitol riots, and the PC party is now trying to completely rebrand themselves to distance themselves from Trump.

And it's not because they suddenly grew a spine, but because they know they'll pay for this come election time. I guess it doesn't matter for the GOP though!

Be as horrific as you want and you'll get reelected.

@Wipqozn Distancing from Trump is never because someone has grown a spine. it's always to save their own skin

they'll repaint their lips orange kissing his ass if he comes back for 2024

Canadian couple who got vaccine meant for Indigenous people may face jail time theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/28/…

> A millionaire Canadian couple who secretly travelled to a remote community to receive a coronavirus vaccine meant for vulnerable and elderly Indigenous residents may now face jail sentences for breaking public health rules.

Good. Fuck'em.

@Nzall Yes, based on the sequence of events on 9-11.

I have a coupon for a free Raspberry Pi Zero W at Micro Center, to give away.

@Wipqozn They've been conditioned to expect re-election because their base largely consists of single issue voters that don't care about indiscretions.

@Tim This isn't the room for that sort of thing.

> @wapo videos appear to show a man planting pipe bomb in a backpack behind Republican party HQ the night before the Capitol insurrection

@Wipqozn Classic reason for problematic software: hire a non-developer to manage developers.

let's see if this works

Typo of the week

That cannot possibly be real. Amazing

it appears to be real, but it dates back to 2017

So not exactly from this week

bbc.com/news/uk-politics-38695203 is the article

I'm currently loading the earliest version from the Wayback Machine

Either they fixed it before the Wayback machine could make a picture of it, or the image was doctored. I'm considering asking a question about it on Skeptics, but it might not be in scope there

Yeah no, I don't think it's real, and if it is there's not really any way to prove it if Wayback machine don't have anything

@PrivatePansy there are some random blogs that poke fun at the image, but not much more

The Onion Never Misses.

‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy

@PrivatePansy Apparently, the #AnalCyst tag on Twitter has A LOT of tweets from 2017 referencing it.

A lot of people also talk about Onion articles. Doesn't make them true.

Fuck Nestle

Yes
