West Virginia legislator says he would drown his kids if they were gay. Well technically he said he'd "see if they can swim" but considering he uses the word "faggot" on the floor of the legislature to describe gay men and calls the LGTBQ equivalent to the KKK...

Lawmaker: Jesus died from the death penalty, so don't abolish it


The arguments for keeping the death penalty in force, in the states that still have it, usually invoke deterrence or the need for “closure” for the families of murder victims. But a Wyoming lawmaker who helped defeat a bill to repeal capital punishment used the novel argument that Christianity was founded on the death penalty, in the sense that Jesus was crucified by the state as a criminal.

“The greatest man who ever lived died via the death penalty for you and me,” State Sen. Lynn Hutchings, R-Cheyenne, told the Casper Star-Tribune. “I’m grateful to him for our future hope because of this. Governments were instituted to execute justice. If it wasn’t for Jesus dying via the death penalty, we would all have no hope.”

When your argument is so dumb Yahoo lists it under sports.

The Republican told WGAN-AM that Jewish people should be "insulted" by a Democratic congresswoman's statements that some viewed as anti-Semitic.

"The Jewish people in America have been great supporters of the Democratic Party," LePage said. "In fact, that's where their money comes from for the most part. They should be absolutely insulted for what she's been saying."

LePage, who has previously grabbed headlines for remarks critics deem racist, said he felt "completely vindicated from anything" he has said in light of freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota. She suggested Israel's supporters were pushing lawmakers to take a pledge of "allegiance" to a foreign country, reviving an anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalties.

MN DFL's, now former, deputy communications director is in trouble from both parties after he calls the Navy's newly christened USS Minneapolis-St. Paul a "murder boat." He has since deleted his twitter account and has been removed from the position, but it seems he is still involved in the organization.

William Davis, the party’s deputy communications director, has been facing criticism on social media and elsewhere for calling the newly christened Navy ship a “murder boat.” He has since deleted the tweet.

DFL Party chair Ken Martin issued a written statement.

“I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the tweet sent by one of our employees,” he wrote. “It was unacceptable and does not reflect my own feelings or those of the Minnesota DFL. The staffer who sent the tweet has apologized and deleted his Twitter account. Going forward, he will no longer be engaging in public-facing communications on behalf of our party.”

Davis has run into trouble before for his social media comments. Last fall, a tweet suggesting Republicans be taken to guillotines resulted in a suspension from his DFL job.

moments ago, @SenateMajLdr McConnell on #Reparations: "I don't want reparations for something that happened 150 years ago...we've tried to deal with the original sin of slavery by passing civil rights legislation and electing an African American president...."

"...no one currently alive (was a slave) ...and we wouldn't even know whom to compensate" more @SenateMajLdr asked about #Reparations

White Congress rep. votes against Trump disapproval resolution explaining that as a white man he's also a person of color and he wasn't offended.

This is the other way to get five free minutes of fame as a Republican.

"I’m a person of color. I’m white. I’m an Anglo Saxon. With a name like Mike Kelly you can’t be from any place else but Ireland.”
