Tidbits And Cat Treats: People Being Stupid Edition

By Baxter

Did you know that according to the AP, John McCain's caisson made its way yesterday to the Senator's Annapolis "burial sight"? Neither did we. It's just one of the many examples of human stupidity we've run across recently. Here, for your Labor Day non-enjoyment, are more.

Trump idiot Sam Nunberg is mad that Jared and Ivanka got bad seats at McCain's Washington service this weekend. "I find it contemptible that the McCain family couldn't seat them in a better, more respectable section," he bleated. "More respectable"? WHUT? It's the National Cathedral. Are there non-respectable places to sit in church?

We also wonder why Jared and Ivanka, Orthodox Jews that they are, were able to attend a Christian service on a Saturday and ride in a car to get there. (We assume Joe Lieberman had dispensation from his rabbi, since he didn't ask Al Gore to deliver his eulogy for him.)

As for the Republican hypocrites on the Hill, this column says it all.

White supremacists have wasted no time fielding racist robocalls against Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum. We're not exactly surprised, but — they've resorted to minstrelsy? Oh, please. Does anyone under the age of 80 even know what that is?

Finally, thanks, anti-vaxxers: Cases of the measles just broke a decade's-old record in Florida. We don't know anything quite as stupid as gullible parents who eat up anti-government talking points based on a long-discredited study. This is what happens when right wingers, especially those led by a corrupt former healthcare executive, run things. It's Republican "pro-life" in action. We cats HISS.
