Colorado Republican Falls for Satire Story, Freaks Out and Proposes Bill Banning Food Stamps for Weed Purchases - Forward Progressives
So I dont get how things like Rand Pauls plagiarism scandal from a couple of months ago happen. Not that I cant believe someone would plagiarize it happens but that nobody in his office caught it and brought it to Pauls attention. I just dont get it.
Well, what happened in Colorado recently might just take the cake. I mean, its one thing to propose some ridiculous bill that stands no chance at passing (it happens all the time) but to propose a bill based on outrage over a satire article written by the National Report is incompetence on a whole other level.
And thats exactly what happened.
In Colorado, Republican State Senator Vicki Marble proposed a bill aimed to tackle this problem of people buying marijuana with food stamps in the state.
Except, there have been absolutely zero incidents of people trying to buy marijuana with their food stamp benefits. Only an idiot would think pot brownies would be covered as a SNAP purchase.
Its completely absurd to think that somebody could walk into a pot shop and use their food stamps to purchase weed but apparently that didnt prompt Marble, or anyone at her office, to actually research if this was happening.
Like I said, complete and total incompetence.

We've seen rw's here fall for the same kind of thing. We've also seen some rw's lie outright about food stamps. Indeed, that's pretty common. But still, this dunderhead should have known better.
Dumb. Just plain dumb. She doesn't have staff that help her appear intelligent?
we also have seen lefties here fall for bullshit stories.....had one a few days ago if im not mistaken......so what else is new?.....
