An Idaho lawmaker introduced a cannibalism bill Thursday she said would keep human flesh and bone out of the food supply— and it appears the legislator based her proposal on a reality show prank.

    Without looking at the article, guess what party she’s a member of.

      Both parties are against cannibalism, I’m pretty sure. Both parties are equally susceptible to hoaxes.

        One party in particular makes a habit out of blowing up literal non-issues into doomsday political theater though.

          One party in particular benefits more from making those non issues into dog and pony shows. The bullshit asymmetry principle.

        No they aren’t equally susceptible to hoaxes, and you can tell that’s true because I can predict which party she’s from.

        Don’t confuse fallibility with gullibility.

          The main difference is the “willful” part of ignorance.

          Rep. Heather Scott, a Republican, introduced a bill that would expand the state’s existing criminal cannibalism law to prohibit any person from “willfully provid[ing] the flesh or blood of a human being to another person to ingest without such person’s knowledge or consent.”

        What’s the democratic equivalent of this? Or kitty litter in schools? Or any of the Q nonsense?

        If Biden made an anti-cannabalism speech, R’s would be coming out for it in hours. And don’t forget how Russia is totally cool with cannabalism for that tip of the hat to the far right.

        I would argue any true libertarian wouldn’t be against cannibalism.
