He Can Kiss My Big Blue Butt
As you know, not a day goes by that I don’t get mad at someone.
Today it’s a Texas Democrat.
We have severe paranoia in Texas over bringing refugees into our state. The Friendship State has become The Get The Hell Off My Lawn State.
Our Governor want to build a wall around the state. Hell, he looks with suspicion on people from New Mexico. Our Lt. Gov thinks we should use refugees for target practice.
We have had some Texas Democrats stand strong. Real strong. Representative Gene Wu from Houston is one tough guy.
Wu points out, “our state’s leadership has chosen to target Syrian refugees and bully resettlement organizations in order to score political points.
“Targeting families who have already been victimized by ISIS and the Syrian civil war, and who have already been vetted through an intensive two-year federal review, is blatantly politicizing these refugees’ plight,” Wu added. “I hope that the Department of Justice can put this issue to rest with their investigation.”
And then there’s Richard Raymond. “State Rep. Richard Raymond, D-Laredo, proposed subjecting the refugees to lie detector tests.”
What the hell on a bell in my cell?
A Hispanic legislator from the damn border of Texas thinks lie detector tests are the solution.
At a meeting of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission this week, State Rep. Richard Raymond, D-Laredo, brought up the idea of biometric screening.
“I mean, how hard is it to get an interpreter who can interpret and then ask a question like, ‘Are you a member of ISIS?'”
Well, that’s just brilliant. First, Richard, we don’t have any interpreters because they have shut down all the schools teaching “terrorist talk.” Who the tarnation in Texas is going to raise their hand when asked, “Yo, Buddy, you talk that terrorist talk stuff because we need some of them?” Honey, that’s the entry question to the target practice thing.
Richard, you’re Hispanic. They don’t want you here either.
Maybe you’re the one who needs a lie detector test, Richard. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Republican Club?” Better yet, “Richard, who the hell do you think you are?”
Cheeeezzzzzz.
Sad Sack could be one of those sneaky snacilbupeR who run as Democrats for the sake of election. He sure sounds like a disciple of that odious slime of a Senator, Daffy Cr-ooze, Jr.
They’ve amped up their game from deliberately st00pid to frustratingly st00pid. Sure boys, how to deflate ISIL, act just like them. Seriously. What kind of moron thinks “get out of my state” will win over hearts and minds better than a welcoming hug, warm meals and a place to stay?
In 2014 the snacilbuper pandered to their base. Now they are the base; the basest of louses clogging up the planet.
1..Like a t^rd in a cesspool?
2Lie detector tests are not admissible in court except under rare conditions, so of course we should use them as a primary tool against terrorists.
We could also have them pinky swear for that extra level of protection.
Of course we’d better make sure they don’t have their fingers crossed.
Time to send this rep on a fact-finding tour of Syria.
3A lie detector test is the electronic equivalent of reading sheep guts on a stone altar. And just as effective.
4I am going to write cootie protector on my hand right now
5A similar question is asked in some Texas county jails “Are you the member of a gang?” The easy ones, the ones too st00pid to understand say “Yeah yeppo keppers Ima xxxxx”. Those inmates get separated so rival gang members don’t wind up in the same pods. (This is a simplification. Classification considers more than just gang membership.) The ones who are brighter do not self-identify. Those you have to figure out and tag internally so they do no harm while in custody.
6Just read an article about “lie detectors” aka polygraphs being so unreliable they’re really pseudoscience. You might as well flip a coin. If Raymond doesn’t know that, he’s not paying attention. he could at least read Wikipedia:
“The NAS conclusions paralleled those of the earlier United States Congress Office of Technology Assessment report “Scientific Validity of Polygraph Testing: A Research Review and Evaluation”.[29] Similarly, a report to Congress by the Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy[30] on national security concluded that ‘The few Government-sponsored scientific research reports on polygraph validity (as opposed to its utility), especially those focusing on the screening of applicants for employment, indicate that the polygraph is neither scientifically valid nor especially effective beyond its ability to generate admissions…'”
7Lie detectors? Absolutely! Let’s start with everyone in State government. Greg Abbott… you’re up first.
8….and in other news, the first airplane full of refugees landed in Canada today.
9And were greeted by the new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, at the airport. Doing some research to find out if he drove them to their quarters in his car. Way to go, Justin!
10My State Senator here in LD7 in Arizona just switched from the Democratic to the Republican party. Nobody is surprised. It’s a gerrymandered seat to the extent that I can’t run for state legislature here, because I’m not Navajo. Although I am told that I’m unelectable because I won’t wear my false teeth.
11Saw a link to a video of a Canadian choir singing an Arabic welcome song to the first flight of Syrian refugees. Wouldn’t that just frost a truckload of GOP cupcakes….
Also saw a photo of PM Justin Trudeau smiling at a little Syrian girl in her father’s arms. She was cute, but gotta admit I think JT was cuter.
12Yes, by all means build your encircling fence and we promise to protect from the outside! Y’all shall not pass!
13A thought . . . a very high wall built around any area, especially if there are no entrances or exits can be filled to the brim with water. And I can hear Santa dumping my name onto the naughty list.
14Maggie, let’s build a very high wall around snacilbupeR legislatures, then follow the rest of your suggestion. Okay?
15Better yet, let’s put the wall around the snacilbupeR national convention next summer. Yeah! That’s the ticket! We’ll be Job Creators! Woo-hoo!
16Y’know, if we built this enclosure near a hog farm, it could double as a sewage lagoon.
One of the few perks of living in Texas is that y’all don’t have the experience of living downwind of one of these babies when the spring thaw hits.
