Scott Walker really is that dumb...

The following is one of my favorite mindless Scott Walker tweets. I seriously don't know how we made through his eight-year term with thinking like this. No, I'm not kidding. Oh, and love the answer...:


The only political party claiming health care, daycare and guaranteed jobs for everyone are free - they are paid for with taxes, are fiscally challenged Republicans and cliche crazy former governor Scott Walker.

Also, Republicans are the ones questioning whether our kids seriously need a college education or not, especially when it costs so much, it's not for everyone, etc.!

Imagine not having the socialist programs America already has: military, police, fire department highways, libraries, public schools, FBI, museums, the EPA, parks, the sewer system, courts, the Hoover Dam, vaccines, state parks, corporate bailouts, DCD, FEMA, OSHA, Census, Peace Corps...

Scott Walker Wears Jeans for Denim Day: There are fewer bigger hypocrites than Scott Walker, more on that in a moment:
Denim Day is a campaign organized by the group Peace Over Violence, that came up with the idea for the day in the 1990s, after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans, and therefore (per the ruling) must have helped her attacker remove her pants, implying consent. On their website, the Denim Day organizers ask that, on April 24, “community members, elected officials, businesses and students … make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.”
It’s a little hard to take Walker’s show of support for victims of sexual assault (who tend, overwhelmingly, to be women) seriously given, well, his entire career.
In 2015, for example, as governor of Wisconsin, he signed into a law a bill that banned abortions after 20 weeks, with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. “I mean, I think for most people who are concerned about that [rape and incest], it’s in the initial months where they’re most concerned about it,” he explained on a local television station when pushing for the bill (it is unclear whether he was wearing jeans at the time). 

He also signed a law that required anyone seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound, and called the invasive procedure, “Just a cool thing out there.”

In addition, he defunded Planned Parenthood across Wisconsin. 

Pushed for the elimination of a law that required insurance companies to cover contraceptives, repealed the state’s comprehensive sex-education law, and also repealed its equal pay law.
