@DeluxedEdition The guy you just replied to, sunsporter1649. He says we need to keep giving all our tax money to Saudi Arabia, even though they use that money to arm Al Qaeda. He calls them "our good friends."
This woman is really, really scary, not just for the fact that she'll probably sign onto horrible, diseased legislation but also she'll give corporatist Democrats an excellent tool for distracting from serious policy discussions like free healthcare & universal pre-K that they'd otherwise feel more pressured to act on.
When you spend all your time promoting partisan propaganda, you are wasting your life and allowing yourself to be used to promote falsehoods, misdirection, and encourage continued divisiveness in the voting public.
@Indieoriginal Reality? You said that Facebook and Twitter were taking away freedom of speech. It really just sounds like you're blindly repeating talking-points.
@BohemianBabe Yup, just like wearing a mask is "unconstitutional," even though the issue hasn't ever been raised in a court.
It's easy. If those guys can refuse to bake pastries for those they find "icky" under protection of the law, then so may a private company like FB choose the people it will do business with. Freedom works both ways, right?
@deadgerbil One of the best ones I've heard in recent memory is the conspiracy that Donald Trump teamed up with the IRS and they worked together to create false tax information to make it look like Trump had committed tax fraud when he actually didn't, and that would be used to lure democrats involved in the global child trafficking ring to try to prosecute Trump for tax fraud but then the IRS would be required by federal law to launch a simultaneous investigation into the democrats and that would reveal that their money was being spent on buying underage Filipino hookers and they'd go to jail so Trump could moonwalk across the stage wearing sunglasses on inauguration day and totally trigger the libs in an epic slam dunk by remaining president until 2024.
Can't we just pack them all on a ship and send them all to some promised land, some part of the planet when they can create their very own patriotic country and not bother the rest of us with their nuttery? Like, Antarctica?
@Graylight I honestly don't care anymore. Fuck all politicians in all shapes and sizes. All of them talk a big game then do absolutely nothing beneficial.
@DeluxedEdition Marjory Taylor Green, the woman in the picture above. That's who this post is making fun of. She's a congressperson who is batshit insane, believes in conspiracy theories involving cannibalism, Israeli Jews being the masterminds behind the September 11th terrorist attacks, and underground tunnel networks all over the country where women and children are trafficked through. She also thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote.
@DeluxedEdition I think it's funny that there's so much division in the republican party rn and yet everyone kinda agrees that MTG is an idiot. Kinda like the democratic party did with Michael Bloomberg. The corporate democrats hate the progressive democrats who hate the socialist democrats, and yet they all united to say "lol Bloomberg sucks dick".
More than this, she's of that dangerous ilk who's hell-bent on 'winning'...something. She has no direction, no thoughtful conviction, no idea of why she's there. It's these willingly ignorant, vile, uncivilized people who will make a joke of government, and while that may sound appealing to some, government is what serves the needs of every citizen. So don't be surprised when the snake you've been scaring others with bites your hand.
@Graylight Well, she did run unopposed as the GOP made sure to get rid of any opposition she may have had, so they are the ones ultimately responsible for people like her being in Congress but yes, the People did indeed vote for her, sadly.
@spjennifer And that's the thing - peoples' memories are perilously short. The only reason the GOP could ensure she run unopposed was to take advantage of a neglected, jaded process. I hate hearing, too, how congress members can brag about 65 years of service; winning because you occupy the default position and voters are lazy is a small victory.
MTG is a lunatic, but she's a lunatic with support.
A republican can find some crazy shit a democrat said and say if you vote for a democrat you are supporting people like this. Unless you don't think some Dems say crazy shit. The country is too partisan and this is why, they wont work together because they are playing to their base instead of working for all of us. Just my humble opinion
