As Puddy Tat always says "Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how nutty InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception."
1. Sarah Palin rants about how Ahmed Mohamed was up to no good when he brought that clock to school.
Mama Bear Palin actually managed to make her dim-witted daughter Bristol look almost reasonable this week. While Bristol went on record on her blog saying that 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed should probably not have been arrested for bringing a clock to school, Sarah ranted thusly on Facebook:
“Yep, believing that’s a clock in a school pencil box is like believing Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history. Right. That’s a clock, and I’m the queen of England.”
Her deranged comments hardly ended there:
“Friends, consider the kids disciplined and/or kicked out of school for bringing squirt guns to school or taking bites out of a pop tart until it resembled (to some politically correct yahoo) a gun. Or the student out deer hunting with his dad early one morning who forgot he had a box of ammo in his truck when he parked in the school’s lot later that day. Kids humiliated and intimidated for innocent actions like those real examples are often marked the rest of their lives and made to feel really rotten. Whereas Ahmed Muhammad, [sic] an evidently obstinate-answering student bringing in a homemade 'clock' that obviously could be seen by conscientious teachers as a dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption (teachers who are told 'if you see something, say something!') gets invited to the White House.”
On this Mama and Baby Grizzly agreed. President Obama had no business inviting wrongly arrested Ahmed to the White House. Who does he think he is, the president of the United States? Maybe the queen of England? That would be just like him, you know.
“By the way, President Obama’s practice of jumping in cases prematurely to interject himself as the cool savior, wanting so badly to attach himself to the issue-of-the-day, got old years ago,” Palin wrote.
Yeah, Bristol blogged, this is “the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of.”
Why does she think that? “This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd and encourages victimhood,” she wrote.
It’s a familiar right-wing trope, racial strife is somehow created by those who point out racism, instead of those perpetuating racism.
Of course, that is a concept that goes whizzing by both Palin women's heads.

What movie was it that coined the phrase "They're ba-ack!"? I'm sure it was some horror movie. Oh wait, "It's As The Stomach Turns" starring the Republican/Teabaggers.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I prefer Palindromes to these Palindrones that don't even really have a clue of their targets given the dirth of geographic and other spacial reasoning.
Love your word play, JL
Thanks Lona
Apparently, there will never be a lack of right wing idiocies to entertain or irritate us.
Sarah Palin: I will never forgive John McCain for giving her a national voice, she was harmful enough when she was confined to Alaska.
Ben Carson: It is sooo hard to believe this man qualified as a nuerosurgeon. I would hate to have been one of his patients, er victims.
Clicked wrong this should be at the bottom.
James Dimon: Barf bag alert always needed for this egocentric, ruthless man who should be in jail.
Fiorina: She almost bankrupted HP while Ceo there, but she wants to run our country? She is also an unapologetic liar, and seems to me to be totally anti feminism.
Kasich: The only thing I know about him is that the friends I have in Ohio hated him when he was governor. He sounds pretty dimwitted here.
Oh JL A, how I wish I had thought of 'Palindromes' – beautiful!
Thanks Pat
That's not outrageous Palin. That's normal everyday Palin. I hope she runs as VP with Trump. It will be a freak show every minute – until they lose to Bernie of course.
Good one, JL>
Thanks Edie
I agree, Gloria.
1. I really wish the news outlets would stop giving Failin Palin any coverage at all.
2. Carson will have his 15 minutes of fame and the the racist Rethugs will realize that he too is black like our current Prea and drop him like a hot potato and go with Baby Bush.
3. Why is Dimon still on the outside of the prison walls?
4. Facts have never stopped a Rethug before. Why should Fiorina be any different. She has conveniently forgotten most of her curriculum vita..
5. That was very big of Kasich to "leave a little tip" for his Latina maid. I'm sure she "really" appreciated it.
Say, Sarah, speaking of "prematurely" – didn't you have a pretty big job up there in Alaska that YOU decided to quit "prematurely"?
And to borrow even more from your incoherent rant, you know what else "got old years ago"? YOU DID!
1: Sarah Palin: "Ahmed Muhammad, [sic] an evidently obstinate-answering student"" Sarah can't remember his name correctly, but it's evident to her that he's an Obstinate-answering student. Now if I only knew what that was! Isn't it about time for an intervention to get her to a rehab clinic for the alcohol/cocaine/medication (take your pick) addiction she has? Her raving is getting more unintelligible by the day.
2. Ben Carson: Early onset Alzheimer, that is the only explanation for first "point[ing] out that science has completely debunked any connection whatsoever between vaccines and autism" and then upon Donald's ranting stating “It is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time.” Short term memory is the first to go.
3. Jamie Dimon: This CEO is paid 20 million a year for blabbering this kind of nonsense, imagine what he would be paid if he said something that made any sense!
4. Carly Fiorina: Oh my goodness, she's trying to out-do Trump on demagoguery and spinning tales and it's working. She's an even better liar than he is.
5. John Kasich: How about leaving him a tip: "Drop out of the race now, John".
Oh, and WRT Bristol Palin … I didn't think ANYONE could be as stupid, hateful, and annoying as her mother – but she proved me wrong!
But I was really sad to see that she called off her wedding to that military guy, Dakota Meyer. Because after she got married she would have been Bristol Meyer. I was waiting to see if she'd name her kids Amoxicillin, Coumadin and Eliquis.
LOL!
Hahahahah, love it.
Just wonderful – but she is so ignorant someone would have to tell her. Oh, wait – you just did.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
In this case, I prefer –
"The turd doesn't fall from the …"
PIMPROTFLMAO!
I would too, but I wouldn't be able to get up. Times like this I put a seat belt on my chair.
Oh that would have been so good!
1. I hardly need to belabor the point that THEY ALL KNEW DAMNED WELL IT WASN'T A BOMB, which any intelligent person could have seen. Heck, the Chief of Police has admitted it! http://www.alternet.org/irving-police-chief-admits-cops-knew-ahmed-mohamed-didnt-have-bomb-when-they-arrested-him And they think they have such a good thing going with their pointing-out-racism-is-racist meme that they are never going to drop that. I did think someone would bring up the Muslim Brotherhood before now though. I'm almost disappointed.
2. I understand the Autism Society now has a campaign to get autism considered as on the normal spectrum rather than a disease or deficit. They certainly have a point. Most of not all autistic people are smarter than Trump. Carson has some other kind of deficit. He actally said that autism has nothing to do with vaccines during that conversation, but said it in such a way that no one would hear it or remember it.
3. New spelling. Jamie Demon. Nuff said.
4. The tapes themselves were made up out of whole cloth, so what's one more fantasy?
5. I've heard he's trying to get away from his (anything but moderate) record, but I hadn't heard he was trying to do so by acting downright stupid.
Great job, Lynn! That hit Mama and Baby Grizzly right in the teeth! Hope they choke on it! Arg! Them Palins need a muzzle. Oops. Excuse me. I wouldn't want to trample on their 1st Amendments!
Yes Vivian, it was in the kind of way people blame on the full moon at times as the best excuse I can think of for the Palindrones…glad one is an ex-politician (she just refuses to admit it as she grubs after all the money she can get as a public figure without the ethical restraints law expects of elected officials) and the other should never have the support to run for even the office of dogcatcher.
"Nipson anomema me monan opsin." She should take that to heart. "Cleanse your soul, not just your face." Not that she would know how. (In Greek it is a true palindrome because "ps" is one letter. It looks nice on a mirror.)
Something went haywire, my response is below JL's statement. Sorry.
No problem Edie
Well, if my name was Ahmed and I built a bomb, of course the first thing I would do would be to take it to school and show the teacher!
I too will never forgive John McCain for giving Falin' Palin' so much power and publicity – he had only met her once when he thought she would be suitable as VP! Argh! If she ever responded to some event or happening with any intelligence, courtesy or compassion never mind wisdom, we would know someone else had put words in her mouth (always assuming she could learn them. I still remember her appalling gaffea few years ago when being interviewed about something North Korea had done when she said 'We must stand with our North Korean allies' …. the interviewer said 'Ahem, South Korean…' Frightening, truly frightening).
