Marjorie Taylor Greene WTF?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

She wasn't joking.

She has no sense of humor.

I might be mistaken.

Ya gotta hit play. AI at it's best.

I have a sense of humor, too. Will it work as a voodoo doll? :twisted:

Another gender-obsessed fascist:
Marjorie Taylor Greene Showed My Photo In A DOGE Hearing And Called Me A Monster. Here's Why I’m Fighting Back.
“It was the first time that I had been directly referenced in the halls of Congress.”


Image
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) speaks in front of a photo of drag queen Lil Miss Hot Mess during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing at the U.S. Capitol on March 26, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

... My first thought to myself was: At least she chose a gorgeous photo. Ironically, it was one of my own headshots depicting a friendly smile and red, white and blue sequin stars — a stark contrast to Greene’s own scowling face that dominated press photos of her testimony. My second: It’s funny that Greene and other MAGA Republicans have yet to learn that it’s a bad idea to pick a fight with a drag queen.

... In the hearing itself, several Democratic members of the committee playfully poked fun at Greene. Rep. Robert Garcia jokingly inquired: “The American people want to know: Is Elmo now, or has he ever been, a member of the Communist Party? ... Because he is red.” Such a humorous response, from an openly gay politician no less, earns snaps from me: His silly approach highlights the absurdity of Greene’s own questions.
:clap:
... We must do more than react to false claims; we must proactively reshape the narrative to make our case for diversity in public media and institutions.

I’ll say it loud and proud: Drag performers belong on public television, in public libraries and beyond.

Of course, drag performers are not the only example of diverse artists who belong in public media and spaces: We are simply one flavor of the creativity and brilliance that exists among LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled, migrant, working-class and other historically marginalized and resilient communities. And we all deserve a pride of place on bookshelves, in television programming, curricula, story hours and more.
:thumbup:
... In my own childhood as a white, middle-class, Jewish, queer and genderqueer person, it was precisely through children’s books and television that I learned about the world. While I often had the privilege of seeing communities that looked similar to mine, I only rarely caught glimpses of queerness and gender diversity. (Still, in retrospect, queer authors and characters have always been present, but recognizing them required skills in reading between the lines.)

... Indeed, most educational and political organizations recognize the importance of access to diverse media not only for young people’s social and emotional development, but for democratic societies to function. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child insists that children “have the right to freedom of expression,” including “freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds … in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child’s choice” and specifically defends access to “material from a diversity of cultural, national and international sources.”
:clap: :-||
Inherent in these understandings is a recognition of children’s autonomy — which Greene and her compatriots would rather ignore. Of course, children need guidance and care, but they are also already capable of curious and capacious thinking. It is hardly surprising that a politician like Greene, who seems to lack such skills herself, fails to see the strength of such imagination and independence. Instead, she attempts to bully others to think and act exactly like she does.

What is ironic about Greene’s attacks is that while she accuses public media, children’s authors and drag storytellers like myself of “brainwashing” children, it is Greene who wants to control minds through censorship. But drag can be an antidote. And that’s exactly why drag performers belong in public education and media.
:---P :-||
... Children who are lucky enough to encounter drag performers at their local Drag Story Hours — or in books and on screens — resonate with them because they encourage forms of fantasy and playfulness that many adults have forgotten in their own lives. And it is that ability to imagine something else — whether a different gender expression, or a just a fabulous future for everyone — that threatens those in power.
8-)
... Many of the current attacks on art and education are absurd and ridiculous — but, much like the art of drag, that hardly means we should not take them seriously. Since those currently in power claim to support freedom when, in fact, they promote fascism, it is no surprise that they seek to eradicate public institutions and art forms that promote freedom of thought and expression. We’ve seen that show, and its finale doesn’t end well.
:(
But it is up to all of us to remember that politicians like Greene and President Donald Trump are not queens or kings — they’re bullies. And you never cave in to a bully: Instead, you outwit them, show them the error of their ways and remind them that it’s more fun on your side. So, it’s time to stand our ground: not only against homophobia, transphobia and censorship, but for diverse public media, libraries, schools and other institutions.
:thumbup: Right on.
It just so happens that one of the best ways to do so is to tap into our inner drag queens, get in formation to snap back, stomp our way through the streets — and vanquish the real monsters.
"stomp" EmptyG. :D
Lil Miss Hot Mess is the author of the children’s books “Make Your Own Rainbow: A Drag Queen’s Guide to Color,” “If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It,” and “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish,” and serves on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour. She has appeared on world-class stages like SFMOMA, Stanford University, and Saturday Night Live, was a founding organizer of the #MyNameIs campaign that challenged Facebook’s “real names” policy. When not twirling, Lil Miss Hot Mess is a professor of media studies. Follow her on social media @LilMissHotMess, and learn more at lilmisshotmess.com.

You really are a sick fuck! When you treated children in the hospital did you influence them to suck dick too? Sick bastards like this are pedophiles and here you are advocating this sick shit.

Then again, you are doing it anonymously, don't want anyone to find you out.
