Those Greek and Roman gods just can't resist making trouble for Diana. But how did his arrow pierce Kal-El's heart? Did he use a Kryptonite arrow head?

No need. Supes is vulnerable to magic.

The older I get, the crazier this premise seems. Wanda marrying an android is one thing, but Mantis is in fact marrying an intelligent alien plant being who's inhabiting the reanimated corpse of the Swordman!



Cherry on top, we get Iron Man with the pointy nose!

And the wedding is being officiated by Immortus. Does he even have the authority to marry people/android/alien-plant-zombies?

Who is Hank Scorpio? Anyway, Simpsons Comics 66 this week because the Frogs are actually family and that would be too weird, even for me.

I always loved this Joe Kelly cover, and back in the day, I was shipping these two so, so hard.

A lot of Deadpool appearances later, this seems like a footnote, but back then...

sorry, wrong thread.

In 2015, in 2016, and in 2017, “Crazy Stupid Republican of the Day” published profiles of the former candidate for the U.S. Senate from Iowa, Sam Clovis, the runner up in the 2014 GOP Primary for the U.S. Senate seat from Iowa, placing second behind Joni Ernst, on the strength of her hog-castrating platform. Clovis’ own campaign web page accused the Obama administration of strengthening America’s enemies, as well as the age-old lie that the Affordable Cart Act has brought about “healthcare rationing”. Clovis promised to, if elected, block any judicial candidate that did not follow “Biblical law”, and claimed that the American government was “destroying our churches”. He also expressed his commitment to “finding out the truth about Benghazi” repeatedly, eventually going as far as to say that the only reason President Obama had not been impeached over it was that he wasn’t white. We noted in our second look at Clovis that he was one of the first campaign cuts by Rick Perry’s 2016 campaign, and Clovis jumped to the 2016 Donald Trump campaign, instead. E-mails leaked from Clovis’ time in the Perry campaign, where he was praising the former Texas governor for saying Trump was “a cancer on conservatism”, indicating that his big fat mouth still continues to get him in trouble. And with the Trump campaign, Clovis continues to be a bumbler, stumbling his way through a CNN interview with Anderson Cooper by saying he was “disappointed” that Cooper had brought up instances of Trump flip-flopping on the record on issues, which disappointment seems to the only alternative to irrational babbling that Trump pundits show when the media calls them on their bulls***. The biggest lie (but far from the only one) Clovis told while working on the Trump campaign (admittedly, he was overshadowed by ladies like Katrina Pierson, Scotty Neil Hughes, and Kellyanne Conway) included a ludicrous claims that Donald Trump's tax plan would create, and we quote... "a 7 trillion dollar budget surplus" (Experts actually think it will ADD 1-2 trillion to the deficit, ANNUALLY), and he defended the comments from the Access Hollywood tape of Donald Trump boasting about committing sexual assault by saying that they occurred "before he made his recent faith journey". Honestly, we can't tell if Sam Clovis is constantly squinting or if his facial features are shrinking like he's some sort of Dick Tracy villain. For his service to his orange overlord, Clovis was offered a high-paying government job working in the USDA, which if you're paying attention to any Trump appointment, he was almost completely unqualified for. However, that job opportunity fell by the wayside once Clovis became a cooperating witness after ending up to his eyeballs in federal investigators for all of the colluding he may have done with Russia as a member of the Trump campaign’s foreign policy team back in 2016.

On this date in both 2018, 2019, as well as 2020,“Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” profiled Stephen Humphrey, a member of the Colorado House of Representatives since first being elected back in 2012. Humphrey is a conservative in the mold of Ted Cruz, by which, we mean he’s as wanted as most kinds of fungus. Humphrey is constantly trying to undo most of the gun control measures that help keep Colorado safer in the wake of the Aurora Massacre, opposes same sex marriage, and keeps sponsoring not just “religious freedom” laws to allow for discrimination against the LGBTQ community, but also sponsors Personhood regulation on the regular in Colorado, as well as laws to attempt to let a man have a say in a woman’s choice to have an abortion. If you’re still unclear on how much of a fanatical God-fearing Christian we’re talking about when we give Humphrey a profile, look no further than his first term in office, when he sponsored an “academic freedom” bill that was specifically worded so that Colorado’s schools could have political discussion about evolution, global warming, and human cloning. He actually tried lying and claiming his bill was in any way political, but there wasn’t a soul in Colorado to believe him. Meanwhile, he would also like you to believe that the government is hostile towards his religion as a Christian, and supports those “religious freedom” bills to allow him the right to discriminate against gay people. And before you stop and wonder if that’s the only proof he’s comfortable harassing the LGBTQ community, keep in mind we’re talking about a brain donor who also voted against a ban on “gay conversion therapy” on minors in Colorado. Currently, he’s even pushing a bill inspired by the anti-gay bakery in Colorado what wants to refuse to sell cake for gay weddings, because his priorities for the state are that out of whack. He’s continued his mad homophobic quest into 2018, still sponsoring “religious freedom” legislation as Colorado continues to become more LGBTQ-friendly, and other pro-bigotry measures that have zero chance of passing, but allow him to impotently rage at same sex couples. In 2018, he disparaged Senator John McCain for not killing the Affordable Care Act. He’s feudied with his fellow Republicans if they flinched from even the most conservative positions, like when he posted a flier of women being assaulted on the streets and claimed a GOP colleague, Cole Wist was fine with it happening because his stance on firearms was not completely to the right. That may have helped lead to Wist’s loss in 2018. In 2020, his career was mercifully brought to an end by term limits.

On this date in 2021, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” profiled Ted Howze, a Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives for California’s 10th Congressional District in the 2020 elections, and the GOP were hoping he could flip the seat held by Democratic Congressman Josh Harder back red for them. There was just one problem… Howze was an extremely complete sack of racist, sexist, intolerant garbage. His entire social media page… well, a smarter candidate may have scrubbed the sorts of comments Howze made, that included but were not limited to:

• Accusing Congresswoman Maxine Waters of “hitting the crack pipe too hard”.
  https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...urvivor-241429
• Calling the prophet Mohammed a rapist and pedophile and saying Islam was a “death cult”.
  https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...urvivor-241429
• Mocking David Hogg, a Parkland Survivor, for having the nerve to want reasonable gun control after nearly being murdered, by claiming that anyone who has been “in a squirt gun fight” has seen more violence than him.
  https://www.modbee.com/news/local/article242567741.html
• Sharing the Seth Rich conspiracy theory, about the former Hillary Clinton staffer.
  https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...urvivor-241429

At first, Howze tried claiming all these social media posts were somehow made by “someone else” and insinuated he must have been hacked, but he eventually gave a meager, insincere apology for it. Howze lost the election by 11 points in a district with no partisan lean.

On this date in 2022, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” profiled James Bradley, a 2022 candidate for U.S. Senate in California, who previously lost in an attempt to unseat Sen. Diane Feinstein in 2018, and in 2020, failed in an attempt to flip Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu’s seat in the House. The first time we were aware of him was during the 2020 campaign when he decided to go and talk about filling his orifices full of holy water after listening to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stalion. Anyway, Bradley responded to his latest election loss by filing a lawsuit trying to sue the state of California for allowing absentee voting and ballot harvesting, neither of which is illegal or a source of voter fraud. But hey, why not join the GOP’s voter suppression efforts and push the narrative of Donald Trump’s “Big Lie”, if you don’t have a chance of winning a statewide election. He then continued “campaigning” by posting lazy defenses of Joe Rogan for spreading Covid-19 misinformation on his podcast. As he seems unlikely to ever reach office, we will set aside his profile at this time, to cover another wacky Republican today instead. (Current crazy/stupid scoreboard, is now 1186-55, since this was established in July 2014.

Um, are you sure this is the thread you meant to be posting in, WBE?
