GOP Rep. Kit Roupe of Colorado Springs doesn’t want you to forget that Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00AM this coming Sunday:
Hey, wait a minute! That’s Texas high school student Ahmed Mohamed, who built a clock for a high school science project that made national news after being not-really-but-sort-of mistaken by school officials for a bomb–mostly because the kid’s last name is “Mohamed.” President Barack Obama praised Mohamed’s science project, and even invited him to bring it to the White House, but that hasn’t stopped talking heads on the right from theorizing that the whole thing may have been a “dry run” test of security.
We could give this Colorado Springs Republican lawmaker the benefit of the doubt, but that would be better than poor Ahmed got from…well, lots of her fellow Republicans! In the absence of an explanation, you’ll just have to speculate about her punchline.
Who knows, maybe there is one.

Doubtful there's anything to this. All my liberal friends on Facebook were sharing this.
Connotation may vary when shared by a Republican legislator. Just saying…
I agree, I think she found this funny. For the same reason we do.
Here's the punchline, you morons:
This is what you get from Republicans.Obstruction. Lies. All politics, all the time.
This is why being bipartisan with those fuckers is a fool's errand for the foreseeable future.
For our Esteemed Senior Senator, the one who won't do anything unless it's bipartisan:
Ball's in your court, Bennet.
Isn't Colorado Springs in its own time zone yet? The Twilight Zone?
Heyyyyy… that gives the Twilight Zone a bad name.
Circa 1947 ?
If you need a good laugh today, read the article in the Onion called "Vicious, Feral House Republicans Run Loose Across DC Following Resignation of Caretaker"
Must be a slow news day. I'm no R fan but Kit Roupe is actually a reasonable and like able member of the State House R caucus.
And this meme is all over Facebook. Find something real to fuss about.
Amen. We have enought to be outraged about with stretching to manufacture some.
Agreed….standing between Bill "Fisting" Cadman and Dr. Chaps, Roupe looks downright bland and reasonable. How did she manage to get elected in El Paso County?
