Meet Joe Mitchell, the Dumbest 22 Year Old in the Iowa Statehouse

I don't know what's crazier:  Iowa has a 22 year old in the Iowa Statehouse (Republican Joe Mitchell from Mount Pleasant), or that Mitchell's in favor of allowing collegiate student-athletes to make money.

The story, written by James Q. Lynch (taking time off from putting his name on Kamala Harris puff pieces), is all-in for cheerleading one of the stupidest ideas ever.

Oh, the burden of being a student-athlete!

They signed up for that.

Which student-athletes on scholarship are eating ramen noodles?

Full ride athletes get scholarships that cover everything:  tuition, room, board, books, etc.  Those who get a partial, get a partial.  If you have loans, that's your business.

Joe Mitchell, you dumb fuck, why don't you think this through a little more?

Oh, if only they could sign autographs at the car dealership for a fee!

Can you imagine where this leads?

  • Everybody is resentful of the one "student-athlete" who is either raking in the cash or is trying to look like he (and it will likely all be guys) is raking in cash.  Showing off cash on Instagram.  His new car gets keyed.  Pictures of his posse at strip clubs.  Busted for alcohol and weed.  Thefts from his expensive apartment.
  • There will be payments "under the table".  Guaranteed.
  • There will income tax crimes happening.  Guaranteed.
  • The angry kid on the practice squad who decides to take out "Mr Money".
  • What happens when the kid busts his ankle or knee for the last time?  Bye bye!
  • The lesbians will be angry that the men are making all the money.  Cue the Commie cunts at the Des Moines Register and the Cedar Rapids Gazette calling for more "fairness" and to "share the wealth".

This is a disaster in the making.

What a great idea!  Let's look to California for stupid ideas.

What's next, Iowa legislature?  A ban on plastic straws?  Forced power outages?  Homeless nuts and needles and shit everywhere?  Fuck you.
