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 absurd InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Katrina Pierson just can’t stop revising history.
It’s very hard for Katrina Pierson to keep track of who started which war. C’mon guys, that’s hard. Especially when these wars go on and on forever. Also history, schmistory. It’s all Obama’s fault.
After being severely dressed down recently for saying that Captain Khan was killed in Iraq under Obama’s watch in 2004—when Bush was president and Obama a senator who had opposed the war—Pierson decided to put her knowledge of recent wars on display again Saturday.
This time, she accused Obama of owning the war in Afghanistan, which is odd, because he was a state senator when that war was launched in 2001.
“Remember we weren’t even in Afghanistan by this time,” Katrina Pierson told a puzzled CNN host. “Barack Obama went into Afghanistan creating another problem.”
Asked to clarify whether she meant he launched that war, she said, “That was Obama’s war.”
Well, no, though he did announce a surge there in 2009 when he actually became president.
Next up? Pierson blames Obama for WWII. Stay tuned…

No doubt the Civil War would never have happened, had Obama not freed the slaves forcing the South to secede from the Union. This is just the first of five listed absurd Republican moments from last month alone. Click through for the other four.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
1. WWII next? So sad – she'll lose the talking points of the Gulf Wars, Viet Nam, and Korea if she jumps back that far. But I guess she can always fall back on the Hundred Years War and the Wars of the Roses.
2. It's apparent that Carl Paladino has no idea what Gold Star family means. Because I'm sure he doesn't mean that the Khans didn't deserve the grief of losing their son. That would be true, but he clearly doesn't have enough empathy for that.
3. In this case, Tucker Carlson MAY know very well what white privilege is. But since it's not an insult, he has to twist it all around to make himself look unfairly picked on. (I don't claim he's never picked on, but I do claim it's never unfair.)
4. "You know it’s bad when Karl Rove thinks you’ve gone off the deep end." Oh, I don't know – if Karl Rove thinks you've gove off the deep end, you may just be so far off the deep end that you don't know anything at all.
5. Post racial society, my unmentionable body parts! (And beyond that, everything I might say is unmentionable. Let John Oliver talk about it.)
"3. In this case, Tucker Carlson MAY know very well what white privilege is."
Small correction: Pretty sure Carlson's first name is spelled with an "F"
Well, it sertainly should be. I just copied what i saw.
AN: INsaniTEA x's 5!
I nominate Carl Paladino to drive the Clown Car this week, with Carl Rove dispensing directions!! LOL.
Thanks, Tom.
I favor the photo of Katrina Pierson in her bullet necklace – just seems more apropos of her.
(Is it just me, or does she look like she should be in movies … adult, X-rated movies?)
SoINeedAName: She looks like one of those gun training videos for beginners! She is a total LOON!
If those bullets are live ammunitions, maybe they'll accidentally, one by one, explode her head clean off her shoulders.
As for being in an X-ranted movie, I wouldn't watch her, not my type. lol.
You just insulted porn stars.
Normal porn stars, yes. But as a dominatrix, maybe?
You did notice that I spelled "X-ranted movie", not "X-rated"… lol.
Incase you didn't post this today, I had it ready to go.
Now that the RNC is over, the Trump team is ramping up the craziness! I guess I could say "SSDD!". Republicans, especially Drumpf and those surrounding him, have their PhD (Piled higher and Deeper) in Bullshitology.
I featured Karl Rove with the following picture. I thought the white board message to be so appropriate.
Katrina Pierson is a certified nut job and disgraces the female gender. How anyone could believe that idiot is beyond me! She is in a totally different time warp. I wish she stop crossing over.
Carl Palladino, another over achieving nut job. May wild horses drag him off to parts unknown.
Tucker Carlson, like all those at Faux Noise, is off his rocker and off his meds.
And the San Jose Mercury News really let the horse out of the barn before trying, but failing, to close the barn door. At least they apologised, but the horse is still out.
Our best to your mum.
Just in case you have forgotten what Katrina Pierson has uttered over the
past several months, here is a recap:

I'm sorry, I know it's only the start of the week, but I've already had my fill of Republican moments, ranging from absurd to vile, and will pass on this one for the sake of my physical and mental health.
This all sounds like something Andy Borowitz would write….
I wonder where in the world Trump gets the bimbos who think he is so wonderful? Perhaps the clue is in those adult x-rated movies you mention?
Thanks all. Pooped Hugs!
Alternet: Paladino has been taking lessons? He's got the "If…" thing going nicely, just like hie orange god thing: make no statements, just put out innuendos! Rove, and the rest are just jackasses. but Pierson needs to get back on her medication regimen!
Katrina Pierson seems to be on CNN every time my husband puts the tv on that channel. Are we completely sure she is not an automated Barbie doll with black hair?
Who in their right mind would EVER listen to Carl Palidino?
Tucker Carlson really, really, belongs on faux news.
If Karl Rove thinks Trump is bad, we should really be frightened at the thought of a Trump presidency.
The San Jose Mercury News shows how much racism still exists here. I am glad they apologized, but too little, too late.
