Just when you think the GOPers can't sink any lower, along comes a Congressman no one has heard of who wants his 15 minutes.
Rep. John Joyce introduced a bill called the GRINCH Act, so named after a certain iconic Dr. Seuss character, in which Joyce claims that publishers or copyright owners, such as the Seuss estate, which owns the rights to the late Ted Geisel's works, cannot edit or censor their own works under 1st Amendment protections.
Farron Cousins explains:
"Dumbest man in Congress"? Maybe, but let's get a reaction from some random folks:
Joyce and the GOPers don't get it. They're stoking the flames of fictional "culture wars" for their brainless base so they don't have to explain issues they know nothing about, as Cousins notes. Joyce earns a Dunce Cap for his lame attempt at legislation that ain't going anywhere except where it belongs, in the trash.
Here it is one mo' time for the ding-dongs in the back, like Rep. Joyce:

No one, repeat, NO ONE, "came for" or "canceled" Dr. Seuss. This was a corporate decision made by the Seuss estate itself, with no prodding or persuasion by leftists or Democrats. By taking books that *they own* out of circulation due to *what they have deemed* questionable content and imagery, they are exercising their right to freedom of speech, you know, that 1st Amendment you guys claim to be such devoted advocates for?
Twit.
These Republican Really Rottens continue to cling to this "cancel culture" BS because it's literally all they have; they haven't had an original idea or policy since Reagan, and we've now got boring competency on the White House, which is driving them bonkers, so they ramp up the hate and wannabe authoritarianism when they could just, I don't know, try enacting decent policies that would benefit all Americans and move this country forward, but I guess being obstinate, obstructionist jackasses is just easier.
They dare to be stupid on purpose, because their base is supposedly uneducated to the point of gullibility. What Joyce is trying to claim is that the Seuss estate had no right to pull their own books off the shelves, that they should stay in circulation. Seems this geek spends too much time with his head in the sand, like the rest of the GOPers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a troq.
