  1. For the first time ever, this stupid, ignorant, AND LOUD, enabler of (participant in?) sexual assaults is right:

    Jobs can act as a stimulus.  But a stimulus WILL result in jobs.

    Our country does need a stimulus.

    So we need you, KKKongressman, to find another job!

    You and your fellow RepubliKKKLANS aren't just speed-bumps on the road to progress and prosperity.  You are a giant boulder that fell on the road from the hill above it!

     

  2. A very interesting comment from Gym Jordan whose entire employment history consists of being an 'Assistant Wrestling Coach' and being a paid (elected) politician at the state and federal level.

    Too bad we can display pictures here because Gym's gerrymandered congressional district has about as weird boundaries as imaginable.

  4. Well, that's a surprise that coach Jordan would claim that jobs are the best stimulus. I would have thought coach Jordan would find nothing more stimulating then to have his face nuzzled into the crotch of his wresting opponent. Just whiffing up on the sweet musk of fear and imminent defeat emanating from his opponent It's ambrosia for coach see no evil Jordan.

  6. Oh fuck off. A job, he says. 

    What is his job? We see what he does , this Gym Jordan guy. Not good. I will be leaving soon,  I'm old, but what Gym Jordan says is as fresh and new as tomorrow morning. There will always be corrupt lying politicians just like him.

  7. Upside down thinking is what Republicans seem to specialize in of late.  First you get the virus under control then you can go to work, not the other way around. Their upside down ways have given us the worst record in the world at combating the virus and much more.  Kristoff, in an inspired opinion piece in the NYT today on white evangelicalism, notes the upside down nature of it's "Christianity".

    Here is a sample:

    The word “evangel” comes from Jesus’ opening pledge to bring “good news” to the poor and let the oppressed go free. Trump evangelicals have turned Jesus’ message upside down. That’s called heresy. And, in the United States, this has created a toxic melding between white evangelicals and the Republican Party. We’ve seen the conversion of too many white evangelicals to the narcissistic and nationalistic cult of Trump, where the operative word in the phrase “white evangelical” is not “evangelical” but “white.”

    The article inspired asg21 of Denver to comment on our epidemic of denial based defective thinking.  

    While talking with a friend about the apparent thousands of adult citizens that actually believe Trump was robbed, and is the real winner, I realized that most any religion, certainly including Christianity, provides excellent training in believing in myths.

    Politicians like Jim Jordan rely on those so trained or as is, IMO, a better word choice indoctrinated or mistrained.

  8. I have a hard time believing this… but I've seen it reported (and not without pride) that a popular economic model with Republicans asserted, in 2009, that unemployment was people choosing leisure over labor.

    I honestly can't imagine anyone being that stupid. I mean, I can imagine someone saying "okay, yes, we have to find a different way to account for late 2008/2009, etc., but I still believe this model works *most* of the time."

    But it seemed to me (and I'm not exactly impartial, though I try to be) that the model said "no, really, that's the problem. Get them out of their 'safety nets-turned-hammocks' and they'll have jobs."
