    Guys, I’m starting to suspect that GOP politicians are complete fucking morons.

    This person, Rep. Matt Maddock, should never be allowed to speak in public again for being such an idiot. If he does attempt to speak, he should be mocked relentlessly until he shuts his mouth hole. Nothing he says should be taken seriously again. Because he’s an idiot. Rep. Matt Maddock, the idiot.

    While I’m dreaming, I’d like a pony too.

      Ponies are expensive, wish for money or eternal happiness instead.

      So I’m not the only one that thinks of that Calvin & Hobbes reference regularly.

    Don’t let that man get court-side seats at a game. Someone’s liable to “pass” the ball at a high rate of speed towards his face. Actually, I’m in. I’ll help pay for the ticket.

      Good idea, better results if he’d been talking about a bowling team though. Bobsled could be interesting too.

    What’s Michigan’s policy on recall elections? This is embarrassing for them as a state.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport.

    The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness.

    “The four men’s basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening.

    But Barrett Henderson, Gonzaga University’s assistant athletic director for communications, confirmed to CNN on Thursday that the team flew on an Allegiant plane, landed at Detroit Metro airport on Wednesday evening in the hour before Maddock’s post, and boarded buses that were waiting at the airport.

    Rob Anderson, sports information director at Creighton University, told CNN that their team landed at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, had buses waiting and received a police escort as well.

    He wrote a new post saying, “We know this is happening” and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are “pouring into our country.” He added: “Since we can’t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will.
