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 jarringly idiotic InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Idiot Fox Newsians celebrate gunman in German movie theater.
Monica Crowley and Stuart Varney made themselves comfy in the fact-free zone as the incident in Germany where a gunman stormed a movie theater was unfolding. But the lack of any information whatsoever did not keep them from speculating and celebrating a little bit.
First, British ex-pat, arch-conservative business commentator Stuart Varney admitted he knew nothing, and said he was “not going to speculate,” but, “Is this another, somewhat similar, terror-related case? I don’t know that. I don’t know who the shooter is, his name, nationality, or wherever he came from. I don’t know that, but the incident is very similar. Therefore, there could be political repercussions to the shooting…”
Ooh, Monica Crowley jumped in too, also not to speculate, but, “I don’t want, I’m not going to stretch this, but a terror, if it’s a terror incident or an incident of this kind, that’s for Trump. That is a plus for Donald Trump, isn’t it?”
Yes! Varney didn’t speculate, because every bad thing that happens, including Trump himself, is good for Trump, because he projects all this leadership and decisiveness and strength and never troubles himself by actually knowing about things.
Meanwhile, Trump rode around his golf course in Scotland, wondering what the Brexit is, speculating on whether it could benefit him, and protecting his perimeter from knowledge.
Maybe we can we arrange a Vexit? (Varney exit.) And a Crexit? (Take Crowley with you too.)
Or maaayyybe, and this is just a thought, a full-scale Foxit.
Can we get a second to that motion?
From <Alternet>
I was able to find the actual video.
Barf Bag Alert!!
In fact, the shooter turned out to be just a Caucasian German teenager with no links to terrorism at all. Foxit is a great idea!!
This is just the fourth of five listed jarringly idiotic Republican moments from last week alone. Click through for the other four.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
1. Well, "[M]any saner heads agree. Where the saner heads and O’Reilly differ is that he thinks it's a good thing." I can't really say it any better.
2. I think he actually means the same thing O'Lielly means – except that BillO says it better. And when BillO is saying things better than you are, you should shut up. Just shut up. (I know. Never happen.)
3. You know, assuming this had happened at night Washington time, WTF other than sleeping should she have been doing? If she had been awake, it might of meant that she REALLY was in on the attack like the conspiracy nuts stay. Which she definitely wasn't. I can say definitely because all the nuts have come up so totally dry on it.
4. Now, THIS hurts the brain.
5. Yes. This is what I was talking about when I said that, if Angola Prison in Louisiana is considered to be the worst prison in America while Sheriff Joe still walks the earth, it must be really, REALLY bad. You don't suppose these guys are taking too much Tylenol? (There have been studies recently which seem to show that acetominaphen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, can reduce empathy.) Nah, probably not, they're just natural d**kheads.
Sheriff Joe runs a county jail, not a state prison. So him to Angole is apples to oranges.
True of course. Except that Sheriff Joe runs his jail with all the autonomy a prison legally has and a jail legally doesn't – and gets away with it.
As Einstein said, "the difference between stupidity and genius is that there is a limit to genious."
Amen!
Ironically, Trump may allude to something real–that Brexit was to wrest control of Britain from the banks and IMF imposing austerity policies that damaged economies.
1. LOL O'Reilly has absolutely no idea that for most Brexiters the immigration was about keeping more WHITE Polish and Rumanian and other Europeans out because they're willing to work the poorly paid, long hour jobs they won't do themselves. But true, the racists and Islamophobes think they can keep those Pakistan, or the Middle East, or their West Indies out too by closing their borders to ALL after a Brexit. His comment only shows what a racist he is himself.
2. Normally BBC commentators are very poised and "stiff upper lip", but this time Drumpf's remarks turned Philip Sim practicably livid (for an Briton, that is) Donald Trump in Scotland: 'Brexit a great thing'
3. Isn't it time we put Drumpf to bed? I would have liked to have written "put to sleep", but that could have been taken the wrong way and could have put me below there with the Republicans and Drumpfians.
4. First some facts: The German shooter turned out to be a very confused man with a fake gun (shooting gas pellets) who never shot anyone, but was killed almost immediately by special police forces who were flown. There were 25 people with injuries. From inhaling the tear gas the special forces inundated the building with before entering. The man had no terrorist connections, as Bild grudgingly had to admit.
I second a full scale Foxit and a Trexit/Drexit
5 Why is Arizona's own little Hitler still sheriff? I'd have thought there were so many cases against him now, he would have been "retired" by now.
Retired is not good enmoiugh… incarcerated!!
AN: Scotland voted Remain.I like the idea of a Trexit. When and where, I'm there! lol. I'm surprised he actually went to Scotland, he's not popular over there.“He’s notoriously disliked here,” said Stan Blackley, an Edinburgh resident who famously rubbed a yellow balloon on Trump’s head in 2012. “When he comes, we can almost feel the hair up the spine of Scotland stand up.” *Time.com
Sheriff Joe Arpaio needs to be fired. Immediately!!
Thanks, Tom for this.
Foxit! Hurrah! If ONLY! We would get rid of Drumpf's free media machine!!!
Thanks for the video, but there is not a big enough barf bag for me to EVER watch this video!!! And I have watched enough "news" that I don't need to see the rethuglicans doings in the "media"!!!
Read this earlier, what a bunch of piss-poor protoplasm!
You insulted protoplasm!
All five of these made me ill. Especially, Arpaio. Why do the good people of Arizona keep this depraved man in office? If he cannot see that it is exceedingly cruel and unusual punishment to leave people in 136 degree heat, then he surely doesn't deserve the office. He fits well with Fox news.
I really liked Trexit. Wish it would come true.
1) O'Lielly is an ass! Immigration has been an issue in the UK for years. What I find interesting, the Brits set sail for centuries, oblivious of the affects of their presence on other peoples world wide. Now a reverse situation and the Brits don't like it
2) "When can we vote on the Trexit (Trump exit)?" — Let it be NOW!!!
3) Why let facts get in the way? That is very Drumpfian and very Republican! Another caveat emptor.
4) Faux Noisies are a bunch of fact challenged gossips!
5) Another ass! Arizona Sheriff Joe should have his air conditioning removed and an ice chest and fan installed. He is looney tunes! US flags? Wouldn't air conditioning be more efficient in keeping prisoners "happy"?
I have to ask — the picture at the top of the article — Is that Boris Johnson with Drumpf? His face is too pink to be Drumpf orange, but he is just as stupid looking!
Boris Johnson on the left, Drumpf on the right. Main differences: age and Boris' rug is real.
Thanks Napstrer!
Thanks all! Hugs!!
