Idaho’s Goofiest Lawmaker, Super Christian Sheryl Nuxoll, Loses Republican Primary. Bye!


To everything there is a season. Wackaloon season is over.

Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly: a great Idaho political icon, batshit crazy Christian supremacist state Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, lost her reelection bid in Idaho’s Republican primary election Tuesday. It is unknown whether Nuxoll will now quietly fade away or will seek to spread her brand of intolerant religious paranoia on a grander scale.

Idaho State Senator Says Obamacare Just Like The Holocaust, Because Of Course It Is
Elected to the Idaho House in 2010 and then the state Senate in 2012, Nuxoll first gained national attention in 2013 when she explained how insurance companies’ participation in Obamacare was exactly like the Holocaust:
The insurance companies are creating their own tombs. Much like the Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps, private insurers are used by the feds to put the system in place because the federal government has no way to set up the exchange. Several years from now, the federal government will want nothing to do with private insurance companies. The feds will have a national system of health insurance and they will pull the trigger on the insurance companies.

See? Completely the same thing, and Nuxoll, as a good Republican who never feared to tell the truth as it existed in her head, refused to back down or apologize, insisting “There is no disrespect for any group or people with the analogy … I just want people to know the truth.” And the truth, as she saw it, was that Hitler rounded up the Jews and forced them to have subsidized health care. Or maybe that Blue Cross should be given guns so it can fight back.

Idaho House Is Pretty Certain They Can Just Wish The Pesky EPA Away
In 2014, Nuxoll backed a failed bill declaring Idaho had the authority to opt out of any EPA regulations the state didn’t care for, because as everyone knows, states don’t have to follow federal environmental regulations if they don’t wanna. The bill was specifically aimed at deregulating “suction dredge mining,” but Nuxoll, with her characteristic logic, tried to spin nullifying federal environmental law into a matter of Defending Our Vets:
“EPA just wants control, they want power,” Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll, R-Cottonwood, told the committee. She said veterans are “precious to us,” and many veterans find it “soothing” to do recreational suction dredge mining. “They’re trying to control us, and they’re trying to control our vets also,” she said.

3. K&R, LOL "To everything there is a season. Wackaloon season is over."

This part is extremely troubling, especially when considering the source:

If an idiot doesn't know how it feels to be "Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps," they should not comment on the Holocaust. Thankfully, I only know how it feels to see the photographs and read personal accounts by the few Auschwitz victims, who survived the horrors.

If the idiot really said, "many veterans find it 'soothing' to do recreational suction dredge mining," we have found a running mate for Trump!
