Title: Senior Dem Rep calls for ban on teens wearing MAGA hats.
Post by: just Warren on January 21, 2019, 10:23:06 PM
It's a link to Brietbart where they link to his Twitter account. (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/01/20/john-yarmuth-senior-democrat-ban-teens-from-wearing-maga-hats/)


 

What method of enforcement could he possibly have in mind? What chance would this have of even getting out of committee? Or get through the Senate? Does he think Trump would even sign the bill? Does he imagine that this could stand up to any judicial scrutiny?

I am going to propose a law. If you are stupid enough to propose such a blatantly unconstitutional and asinine law, any citizen has the right to punch you in the nose!

See, I'm smart enough to be a representative too....

Flouting reason, flaunting self-righteousness.

REF (In case someone forgot):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-righteousness

Quote
Self-righteousness (also called sanctimoniousness, sententiousness, and holier-than-thou attitudes[1][2]) is a feeling or display of (usually smug) moral superiority[3] derived from a sense that one's beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person. Self-righteous individuals are often intolerant of the opinions and behaviors of others.[4]

From what I read, he wasn't serious (at least for actual legislation). He was trying to be edgy and participate in the peer pressure of the pile-on. He later walked back his statements.

So what you are saying is he knows he is stupid, but hopes everyone forgets what he said.

He made a stupid joke. Let's not act like the left and pretend that jokes are out of bounds. (e.g.: "Hey, Russia! If you have Hillary's missing emails, it would be nice to give them to the press." "HE JUST ASKED A FOREIGN COUNTRY TO HACK HIS RIVAL! START AN FBI INVESTIGATION!")

Now, yes, he's completely stereotyping these children who are not only did nothing wrong, they did everything right and are STILL being slandered and libeled for it. Including by this jerk.

Because the left hates. It's their defining characteristic.

Oh, teens should definitely be banned from wearing MAGA hats!   :police:

We all know how teens would hate to be seen as rebellious and non-conforming.  That would work like a charm.

I live in Yarmuth's district and have been listening to this loudmouth for years and trust me, he never says or does anything that he doesn't think will earn him PC brownie points

I have reported his post, and yours, as micro-aggressions against me, and other snowflake-Americans. He's probably a [ominous whisper] white male.

I'm not sure what the punchline would be, other than, "Ze says something that makes sense."

I have reported your crayon box for problematic color-identification.

Yes, though the Scots would prefer you not do so.
