This was even too racist for Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Holy shit, imagine the shame when you're too much for Marjorie "MAGA Billboard" Green.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago (2 children)

These people can't imagine shame.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene can still imagine shaming others. It’s the hypocrisy. She can’t help herself. Once in a while, she ends up saying something correct by accident.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can they imagine a concept of shame?

They need plausible deniability.

it would be terrible if the white house smelled like food instead of human excrement like it did for the first 160 years of it's existence when people shit into the field behind it.

I thought you were talking about Trump's adult diaper shit smell

Yeah, right? Like curry is extremely yummy. "Oh no, there might be curry made in the kitchen – maybe possibly I don't know; that's the only Indian food I know because I'm willfully ignorant to other cultures – made with the use of soothing, aromatic herbs instead of the lingering, day-old stench of the shittiest, greasiest, soggiest, most pathetic fast food hamberders in the world."

The Biden administration probably had to wash the smell of Trump's greasy McDonald's shits out of the Oval Office.

Ah, Laura Loomer, 9/11 conspiracy theorist, does not represent Donald Trump she...

Checks notes

Was only invited to a September 11th ceremony as a guest of Donald Trump.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

The only defect of this comment is that it omits that she also accompanied him to the debate the previous night.

[–] mattd@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

MTG is probably just jealous

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

God when they aren’t given talking points and can’t keep their mouths shut they really just show all their cards haha

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah this is racist and doesn't represent the man who says Hatians eat cats and dogs or the GOP who celebrate that man

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

And wtf, I just found out the racist shit was posted Sept 8th. Trump had Loomer as his guest to the 9/11 memorial yesterday, three days after the racist tweet.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

MTG is just playing good cop. People like her depend on people like Laura Loomer to make them seem less crazy.

Edit: also, can we acknowledge how badass her grandfather looks?

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Didn't see that at first! What a fucking G.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago

I partially agree with MTG. (???)

This does represent who they are as Republicans and MAGA. This does represent Trump.

The rest of it I'm good with.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Who the fuck doesn’t like curry?

Also, how the fuck is Marjorie Taylor Greene is the hero here??

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

People who claim they only eat American food like tacos.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hamburger steaks from (checks notes) Hamburg.

Apple pie from the Netherlands.

New Orleans king cake, imported from France.

Chicken fried steak invented in Texas by Czechs who had cheap beef, but wanted schnitzel.

I have yet to find 100% home grown American cuisine in America, but it's all delicious.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That was pretty cool. I'm going to have to try some of this out.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I haven't had most of it, but I can 100% vouch for wild rice. Also frybread.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You could also maybe, just maybe, make an argument for barbecue.

I suppose that someone who is as much of a hypocrite as Marjorie Taylor Greene will end up being correct accidentally once in a while.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Also, how the fuck is Marjorie Taylor Greene is the hero here??

She just knows it's not time to kill the euphemism yet.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You’re right, and that is an awesome video. I highly recommend the entire series to everyone.

In fact, I recommend that everybody subscribe because new videos are still coming out!

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

She probably got served in the Russian interference case and is trying to pull a tim pool

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The last time Trump was in office, the place smelled like a fully-loaded Diaper Genie, the White House speeches were delivered by a senile conspiracy theorist who thought they could fix all their problems with a sharpie, and everything that wasn't nailed down got stolen

But sure, what an insult it would be for the White House to smell like garlic, ghee, and cumin

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"The White House will make you hungry" is definitely a weird insult.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Well now you're just describing America's hesitancy to feed children at school

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit! Someone hacked MTG's account and made posts pretending she was made of human parts!

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah until they HACK THEM OFF IN MINNESOTA AND TURN THE HACKED OFF PARTS INTO COMMUNISM! THANKS OBAMA

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

That tweet is so on the nose, if I had read it in isolation, I would have assumed it was someone being ironic or trolling the racists.

The curry bit is stupid (because curry is delicious and smells good), but I could 100% see an Indian comic using the lines about speeches being facilitated by call center and customer satisfaction surveys as part of their set, because the mental image is honestly kind of funny.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Never heard of this person before and I look forward to never hearing of her again.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately she's one of Trump's advisors now.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

We were promised a taco truck on every corner of Hilary won. We were robbed of that. And as much as I love the idea of a curry scented White House that doesn't personally benefit me.

The call center option sounds so much better than the current methods.

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Putting the tasteless curry remark aside, the rest just describes late stage capitalism.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Marge saw how the cats and ducks story was received by the middle. She's trying to walk back a little of the crazy.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

Given she's still on FB shouting about NESARA, child tunnels, and The Storm on a pretty much daily basis, I'd say this is about as low-key and civil as Loony Loomer gets.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Looking at that photo, all I see is what looks like a nice family. Grandpa looks like a badass in those sunglasses.

Isn’t she jewish? Lol her ‘friends’ would gas her.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's great to see MTG finally showing her true side and trying to clean up her own party. Good. Now she just needs to go and post the same underneath that other nutty republican that was talking about Jewish space lasers a while back.

What's wrong with curry? Except the Thai curry place near me. I know what's wrong with them. They told me they didn't make it spicy. They wrote "not spicy" on the receipt. I said zero out of 5 on the order. It was spicy. It was spicier than the 1out of 5 at the Indian place. I could barely take it. I am a spice child. Maybe not a baby, but certainly not a spice man. Anyway I like Indian curry. There's nothing wrong with it.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also I just noticed that guy's sunglasses are sick.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It did get a little old when I had an indian roommate in college, but he did teach me how to make several delicious recipes with curry so it was absolutely a worthwhile tradeoff.

Who is this loomer person? Sounds like a real peach

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

(Except the “representing Trump” part. This is pretty much spot on.)

[–] ech@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Can we get past the "rage bait leads to profit" era please? This shit sucks.
