Is MTG Really this stupid?

Perjury Traitor Greene seems to think that solar and wind energy only work when there's sun and wind, apparently she's never heard of batteries, you mean they don't have batteries in deep, dark Georgia where she's from? Is her brain even capable of keeping her breathing?

“Thank god for air conditioning. Let’s talk about refrigerators. I personally like my refrigerator. I know you all like yours. What about washing machines and dryers? Lord please God don’t make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have to hang them out on a line when we switch over to wind turbines and solar panels,” she said. “I’m gonna be really pissed off about that. I mean, how absurd is this? I like the lights on. I wanna stay up later at night. I don’t wanna have to go to bed when the sun sets. It’s so silly! I mean, all of this is insane.”

Of course she is this stupid. She's the one that brought us Jewish Space Lasers, Gazpacho Police, and Peach Tree Dishes. Her supporters are just as ignorant and worship disinformation. MTG and clones are the future of the red areas of the country.

Carter was not a good president

@spjennifer

Carter was a good man but not a good President

I disagree. As an "outsider", his lack of Washington connections seemed to hurt his effectiveness, yet he helped broker the peace treaty between Israel & Egypt (and didn't try to take credit).

He told us what to do for energy independence, but electing Reagan derailed that.

Rail all you want about the hostage situation, consider that

• had a sandstorm not affected the helicopters sent as part of a military rescue of them, he might well have won re-election, and

• remember what Reagan['s people?] did in order to get the hostages released?

Note that Reagan is a big step along the Goldwater arc to Gingrich (and thus the Republicans using his list of pejoratives when referring to Democrats, along with "you can't have friends who are Democrats", etc., which sowed the seeds of obstructionist BS and the inability to work with ANYONE to get things done.

And note that Carter did NOT

• push trickle-down economics, the beginning of the huge shift of the tax burden off of the rich,
• get rid of Federal funding for mental health (creating a huge homeless population and asking the police to deal with it),
• etc., etc., etc.

@SomeMichGuy Don't get me wrong, Carter was a good person but most found him to be too weak on his International Policies, not that Rotten Ronnie was a whole lot better. I believe that Carter would have been seen in a better light if he'd had a second term and we'd all have been better off if Reagan had never been elected! Reagan was the one who started all the "attack ads" during his campaigns.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@SomeMichGuy I agree with many of your points. It is intstructive to watch his "malaise" speech during his presidency where he proposed to make the US energy independent in ten years. Had his policies been implemented, the US would have achieved that or been very close by 1990.

Reagan committed treason by negotiating with Iran prior to the election to have the hostages released as he took office. You can't run foreign policy and do that when you aren't president.

And you are correct about the Middle East peace agreement.

But Carter was a micromanager and that detracted from his ability to get more things done. His accomplishments stack up well as measured by today's measuring stick, but I was hoping for more. He was a clear choice over Reagan in 1980, but I voted third party that year as I resided in a state that was going to vote for Reagan regardless of my individual vote.

Calling folks like MTG stupid just because they're saying seemingly stupid things seems like it's playing into their shtick at times.

MTG, like Boebert, Trump, Walker, Johnson, Gaetz, Gosar, and others, have done really well with throwing out garbage that echoes with real Americans who are tired of being lectured to by "experts," educated people, and being told their stupid for embracing simple solutions to complex problems.

It's the issue with MAGA at it's heart, imo. Thinking, accepting responsibility, is hard, and it's much more appealing to say F-you, I'm not going to sacrifice even a moment's thought that might inconvenience me when it's easier to blame someone else.

@MistyCee

As usual, Misty, you've overlooked a very significant point.

You and the Democrats in general would have a case if the Democrats hadn't flooded the zone with so much bullsh*t of their own. 🙄

(e.g., "Inflation Reduction Act", among much else)

MistyCee

@Thinkerbell lol. You're looking at other posts as well, i see.

"Flooding the zone with shit", while not my cup of tea, can be really effective, and, that's kind of related to my point about calling MTG stupid for doing it.

I don't think that helps, especially when Dems may have spread their own BS, and people can just shrug and say, I might as well pick one.

@MistyCee The phrase, "The lesser of 2 evils" comes to mind here 🥴

She's an idiot. Not surprising she says idiotic things.

An acquaintance of mine here in Australia is an educated man in his 70s, has owned several businesses and had a farm for some time. He has also installed a good sized diesel powered generator at his house because he believes that as Australia moves towards more renewable enegy sources, there will be ongoing and significant blackouts.

Interestingly, he also believes that Trump actually won the last US election and that the Left is preventing a proper investigation.

Unfortunately, it's not just the US that has right wing nut jobs. But I think the US may have the majority of them.

@spjennifer No, just seems to have swallowed the right wing BS. He was also convinced that Covid could be treated with Hydroxychloroquine, but only in combination with vitamin D. But he's been somewhat silent on that and is vaccinated.

@spjennifer

I have deleted your comments as I won't have you insulting other members on my post, if you have a pertinent opinion, for or against my OP, feel free to express it, but don't be insulting others.

I'm sorry I missed those comments. I enjoy learning new insults 😂.

spjennifer · 61-69, T

@Bushranger His first comment called you a "moron" and it went downhill from there so I deleted them as I won't have that on one of my posts. I never prevent someone from commenting for or against one of my posts but at least try and remain civilized.

@MissPerfect Real margarine is almost as expensive as butter here now, as for Margerine, well she's more like rancid butter 🥴

MissPerfect · 22-25, F

@spjennifer Becel is great.

spjennifer · 61-69, T

@MissPerfect Agreed but it's gotten expensive here, almost 100% more than it was 2 years ago!
