The Official Facepalm Thread

Post by Number6 »

This thread is for those who've said or done something so stupid the only thing one can do is give them a facepalm.

Today's winner is: Rep. Darrel Issa, the idiot representing the East County of San Diego. Isa said "Remember, this is a young woman who gr ... ands it."
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said at CPAC on Friday that he questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris really understood the experience of most Black Americans because both of her parents were so well educated

Issa started off by talking about Harris taking on President Joe Biden during a debate in an early Democratic primary where she slammed him for waxing nostalgically about working with senators who also happened to support racial segregation.
Issa said she did this to make it appear that Biden was out of touch with the Black community -- but then accused her of having problems of her own in that regard.

"Remember, this is a young woman who grew up with all the benefits," he said. "Her family, you know, they're both doctorate-level, they enjoyed a beautiful home in a good area of Oakland, and she enjoyed the best growing up. And so I'm not sure that her telling him that he didn't understand the Black experience, I'm not sure she really understands it."

Yeah, he's still around. H originally represented the North Coastal area of San Diego County and they declined to run for re-election in 2018 mainly because the district was going Blue fast. After Duncan Hunter had to resigned from Congress for misusing his campaign funds for personal use Issa ran in Duncan's old district, which is conservative, in 2020 and won.

They ask Agent Orange about Ukraine, he starts ranting about "windmills".

Sometimes I wonder if he is Don Quijote. They are called wind turbines, moron.

Please, it's embarrassing enough this idiot was Commander in Chief for 4 years, don't give him any more.

Issa, the resident Car Thief. Issa was circling the drain when Duncan Hunter got his ass sent to jail. Being the bottom feeding jack hole he is, Issa jumped and got the seat.

Issa has zero moral character and would just as soon as sell out his family as breathe. A complete and total asshole.

Today's facepalm award goes to Elon Musk. Musk wants to challenge Putin to a fight with Ukraine as the prize. Just what the world needs, two egotistical billionaires fighting over the fate of a country. It only shows the arrogance and disrespect they have for people.
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, on Monday challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a fight, with nothing less than the fate of Ukraine, scene of Moscow's brutal invasion, at stake.

The eccentric billionaire and founder of aerospace company SpaceX took to Twitter, where his messages are notoriously erratic, to see whether the Russian leader would test his mettle in person rather than through his country's forces fighting across the border.

"I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine," said Musk.

Your party is the party of segregationism and the Confederate flag.

Where is your outrage that fellow WN Tucker Carlson demanded to see her LSATs?

You’re currently passing anti-LGBTQ law after anti-voter law after abortion restrictions law, trying to get those filthy Jan. 6 confederates off the hook, and trying to get Donald Trump re-elected.

You support and more importantly vote for all of it.

But Joe Biden said a racist thing about Barack Obama, once.

Hey, Bright Eyes, this Twitter account is a rabidly pro-Trump account.

He is such an extremist, he RTs Donald Trump, Jr. Nice going.

That's ethnic stereotyping, but not, per se, racism.

If we want to throw quotes out there, there's TFG. "The least racist man alive."

1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a Black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

2018: Speaking about immigration in a bipartisan meeting in January 2018, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then reportedly suggested that the US should take more people from countries like Norway. The implication: Immigrants from predominantly white countries are good, while immigrants from predominantly Black countries are bad.

Glennfs should be grateful nobody is recounting all the ignorant, bigoted, anti-immigrant, xenophobic, anti-minority crap he himself says, including about his own family members.

No wonder he votes for the WS Party.

It's now illegal in several states if the children of conservative whites "feel" uncomfortable about a lesson in school. Texas GOP passed a law that your kids better be cisgender, or else. Thankfully, somebody with some sense struck it down, at least temporarily.

But hey, Joe Biden said something about a Black man's appeaeance, once, tho.

:problem:

According to USA Today, the quote you claim Biden made is partly false. What he was advocating was an orderly integration of society rather than forced busing. He did say ""Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

Based on our research, the post is PARTLY FALSE. It contains two claims, one true and one false. It's true that Biden said mandatory busing to integrate schools would lead to his children growing up in a "racial jungle." It's false that he said, "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."

:?

How is saying several times that Biden made a racist remark about Obama denying anything?

Fact is, your party is very actively enacting flagrantly racist, anti-family, anti-minority laws, you support it, and you vote for it, because you are a white supremacist who is duped by Republican white nationalism.

I notice you do not deny any of the above, ever.

Doesn’t matter how many times you white cons repost a rightwing tweet from 2020.

What point are you trying to make?
