Marjorie Taylor Greene WTF?

[Vrede too]

I would never have believed that Paul Ryan would ever have seemed to be a desirable alternative. Holy shit what a smacked up world we live it.

Idk if he's part of serious discussion or is just EmptyG's delusion. He's only been gone since 2019, feels like longer to me. I think he's been a slightly better ex-Speaker than he was Speaker, but that ain't saying much. I guess the biggest difference is that he's not Cult .45 .

Eating their own.

Cool.

Sooo....any clue on WTF Twittergate is?

Sooo....any clue on WTF Twittergate is?

https://mobile.twitter.com/RepMTG/statu ... 4782824448

The banning of Dolt .45 and other RW assholes?

Twitter is a private social media app.

What’s the “gate”?

Conspiracy with the government, delay.

EDIT: I saw a post about Dems supposedly pressuring Twitter to bury info about Hunter's laptop. Idk when Twitter became an investigatory arm of the criminal justice system.

How about an investigation into the US Representatives that requested a pardon from Donald Trump, Marjorie?

Marjorie Taylor Greene
Paul Gosart
Scott Perry
Lauren Boebert
Matt Gaetz
Jim Jordan
Mo Brooks
Louie Gohmert

Is this suggesting that "Twittergate" is alleged Chinese influence?

Brilliant. I'll quit there. Either the RW commenters all already know what "Twittergate" is or they're also clueless.

"Dumb mirror."

Marjorie Taylor Greene just took stupid to a new low and the jokes write themselves

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has some bizarre ideas about, well, everything.

The notoriously anti-LGBTQ lawmaker has said she believes straight people face extinction within 150 years, called for the end of Pride month, and regularly spews anti-trans rhetoric that’s best left unrepeated.

Now the far-right congresswoman has offered her hot take on electricity, and let’s just say she’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

Specifically, she appears to be in disbelief about the existence of batteries — you know, those things that were invented in 1800 to provide power without the need for cords....

Nor is Justin Trudeau "president".

Heart Aerospace, the manufacturer of the short-range planes, explained in a press release:

“The new airplane design, called the ES-30, is a regional electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers and it replaces the company’s earlier 19-seat design, the ES-19. It is driven by electric motors powered by batteries, which allows the airplane to operate with zero emissions and low noise.” ...

Worst standup comedy ever.

Does she realise that she is using a cordless microphone?

How does she think that works?

Magic?

Witchcraft?

Now I'm offended as an engineer.

Are we sure they’re not gonna be powered by Jewish Space Lasers?

Nothing like an American politician making jokes about slaves…

"American politician" from Georgia.

It’s a flight attendant. Not a stewardess.

In her defense, and given that most of their base believes Jesus walked with the dinosaurs anyway, would it really be so impossible for her to believe the Flintstones were real? Because that’s where she got it from.

[O Really]

Coverage, and notoriety are fueled by controversy and conflict. Marginal Greene's self-appointed job, like Cawthorn's was, is to attract attention to themselves and be sort of a logo/slogan for all things right-wing. When she speaks, her goal is to entertain, create sound bytes, get re-tweets. So without making any claim that she's not really dumber than the proverbial box of hammers, you have to wonder how many of these stupid comments are just part of the show.

[GoCubsGo]

Man, is she dumb.

Everyone knows you power electric airplanes with windmills.

As goofy as she is, she has amassed a tremendous amount of clout in two short years, but eventually there will need to be actual substance behind the theatrics.

Ain't gonna happen.

Her downfall is going to be glorious and spectacular.

Allow the propellers or turbines to spin in reverse to generate electricity. Physics.

One would think - and maybe so in the past, but I'm not so sure substance matters much anymore post-Trump. To make up a reality-based example, take Sarah Palin (please!). Her catch phrases included "drill baby drill" which encompassed an entire strategy toward energy management, which might not have appealed to a lot of environmentalists, but at least was a workable approach. Her "I can see Russia from my house" was not true and considered a stupid comment, but served to point out that Russia really isn't that far from US borders. Since then, as Trump and others just started making shit up, I think the necessary link between talk and substance is broken.

Kinda related to my rant about how the "news" is all about reaction/response more than the original event. Marginal says something and the news is all about what people think/said about what she said.

We're all doomed.

Didn't turn out so well for Sarah though did it?
( The " I can see Russia from my house " wasn't actually her but Tina Fey. Though I'd bet at this point most people don't know that.)

She's twelve time a laughingstock, begging for relevance.


There's still a glimmer of hope.

Ha - you're right, and Tina should be given credit. Real Sarah's comment was "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska" which is true from some places on a clear day - only 37 miles away.

But consider that in her day, Sarah was sometimes driving the clown car, yet compared to Repugs now, such as Marginal and Boebert, the things she said were downright rational.

[Vrede too]

Hefty income for several years, with our scorn probably adding to it.
Sarah Palin Net Worth: $8 Million
No need to ever work again.

Downright rational?

When she was condining shooting wolves from helicopters?

Nah, she was bein' all Mavericky


Basically just a lite version with a little bit more political experience than the current crop, that could give a speech but not rational and just as stupid.

Hope Todd got half.

In a May 2022 financial disclosure, Sarah Palin revealed that in 2021 she earned $211,529 from the app Cameo. Furthermore, the financial disclosure showed $88,000 in earnings from website advertising from a corporation called Young Conservatives LLC, $40,200 giving one speech and $10,000 earned for taking part in a bus tour for a group called Club for Growth. Her total income for 2021 was $430,000.

Her OnlyFans can't be far behind.
Never overestimate the intelligence of Republican supporters.

One would think that the $8 Million estimate accounts for any divorce settlement, but .

Ewww. I guess she was once pretty, but I was never attracted. Now?
