How much more absurd can republicans get?

Asked by ragingloli (52425points) 1 month ago

They just declared that the rest of the year is one day, just so they do not have to vote on forcing an end to Krasnov’s tariffs:

I do not understand. I read the article, can someone explain?

Its a very smart win-win move. Trump gets all the blame or glory, Reps have no blood on their hands.

As far as the Krasnov rumor with zero evidence, that is a ridiculous and desperate.

About as absurd as democrats were when they used the same tactic on republicans in 2021.

Just wait till tomorrow or the next day.

“Oh, lets just remove all Arlington Cemetery links to Black and female Veterans.”

What a disgrace!

Oh yeah, my husband told me about this a day or two ago. Sounded to me like God created the world in seven days, or is it six days plus a rest day, but day isn’t defined how we define it.

I think it can get way more crazy.

@MakeItSo1701 So what they are saying is that by stretching 24 hours into a whole year, they don’t have to take a vote on it. It is the most childish thing ever. Republicans know its not popular among themselves to block so they are delaying it. Abducating their responsibility for a year because they don’t want to piss off the king. I say if they can’t vote for a whole year on an issue that puts power back in their hands, then they shouldn’t get a paycheck for a year. Call it a pay check for 24 hours. I give Musk permission to fire them since they don’t want to do do their job. At least those who voted for the whole one day rule bull crap.

Okay, I just cannot wrap my head around how that is even possible. So does that apply to citizens? We are just in one long day right now, not a year?

@ragingloli I give you Trump derangement syndrome. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/17/trump-derangement-syndrome-minnesota-bill/82487985007/

They want to make disliking Trump a mental illness.

^^^^ I( know someone that thinks that already and isn’t a doctor (just like RFK Jr . . the heroin addict)

Oh, you misspelled republifuckers.

An update on the trump derangement syndrome thing – the senator who proposed it, Justin Eichorn, was arrested for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution, according to a statement from the Bloomington Police Department. Not entirely sure what that says about republicans and Trump supporters but its porbably not good.

Apparently the repugs & MAGAs want to outlaw and jail anyone the that is apposed to the Turd overthrowing of the USA (no trial necessary) . . isn’t that what Mein Führer did and sent them to prisons and concentration camps in the 1930s in Germany ?

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Apparently a lot more absurd.

If Hitler had the third reich ,will Trump have the fourth?

Forever_Free's avatar

There have been many books written about this. Trump even called it a “Unified Reich”.
