This is Majorie Taylor to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Marjorie Karen Green was bound to be truthful about something eventually.

What? No...say it isn't so. Fox News is a propaganda mouthpiece? I am just shocked I tell you, absolutely gobsmack shocked.

In other news...the sky is blue, for reasons that the Trump administration have deemed, illegal.

She probably feels the more involved we are with Israel vs Iran, the less involved we will be with Trump vs Americans. The lady has priorities on who she wants to die first.

It's for OAN. sorry everyone

I wouldn't be surprised if she were one of the handful sitting members of Congress who have no idea what roll they're required, by the oath of office that they swore to, to be apart of when was is declared.

You know, I was pretty adapted to this whole "dumbest reality" thing. I thought I had a good handle on it.

Now I'm agreeing with Bimbo Spacelasers on a political stance... I'm literally having an existential crisis to that.

Heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point

Brainwashed by what, MTG? Is it the Jewish space lasers again?

Here’s hoping some of the people in her camp receive the message.

What exactly is this woman’s platform?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.

This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to 'home grown' culture and expelling anyone that doesn't conform to whatever her idea of 'American' is. The only 'good' part of that stance is that this also means they don't want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you'll typically see from the right.

Xenophobic white Christian nationalism, ignorance, fear, anger and hatred.

"Keep me in power and, more importantly, the spotlight"

She's an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It's why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.

Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm's Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

See, by my nature I usually make a joke as a reply to everything.

But that statement......man. It's hard to justify making a joke about rale/abuse victims and pedophila.

Can you just talk about J.D Vance instead? Remember the meme where he fucks couches??? Now THAT I can work with!

You should print this on a bumper sticker and sell it in Texas.

Well it might make a few bucks there but it's a pretty disgusting concept. I don't really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.

I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.

The alternative is that it's a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can't even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn't look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.

A broken clock...

Happy that this particular lunatic is right on this particular issue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

A very, very dumb clock... Once every crazy dumb day...

That's the saying isn't it?

Jokes aside, agreed she's right, and credit where it's due for sure.

I'm going to guess that Russia doesn't want us to enter the war.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm guessing everyone with a brain doesn't want the US to go into Iran. It's like these people didn't learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not to mention the terrain of Iran would prove an order of magnitude more difficult to overcome. Afghanistan was already very difficult for our military, imagine MORE mountains

Learn things? With our education system??? Buddy! What do you think this is??? A different country? Who's this other country you're thinking about??? They sound like someone we need to go to war with! Do they have oil?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You don't need an education system, just past lived experience. Trump himself regularly lies about how he was always against the Iraq war. It's just one letter off, should be pretty easy to work out what would happen if they did the same thing again.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.
