If the Pentagon didn't think of people like her and MTG as security threats I'd be more upset. Anyone who puts themselves over the good of the nation, any Lobbyist Shill, is a threat, because they are just commodities to be bought and sold and influence legislation.

To be honest, I'm glad these two are so dumb in public. There's no question that they are narcissistic conwomen and everyone can see their colors in plain view. It's the folks who are just as nuts who hide it or lie about their intentions that scare me even more. Kristin Sinema is a great example.

IDK, maybe it's because she's a security threat πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Honestly, her and Marge would be hilarious if they weren't so terrifying. They both feel SNL parody's of politicians come to life in the most horrifying way possible...

I feel bad for satirists like writers at The Onion. How do you satirize people like Boebert or Greene? Anytime you come up with a crazy satire for them, they'll just say something even worse.

They just start writing stories featuring reasonable politicians who aren’t taking insane positions.

I mean in a world where Mitt Romney seems like a reasonable guy, everything is satire.

Easy, just write them some straight-faced, reasonable, and nmainstram lines, and then slap on a laugh track on the delivery.

GOLD, Jerry!

Sorry so much insane shit here. Firstly she's using a made up report by some random bloke on a conspiracy site (edit: which I'm pretty sure is called trailmix, so I think they're nutty) to substantiate her tweet, sure fine, pretty normal shit at this point.

But next she says that bud light and target are losing $27 billion over their LGBT stuff, which like, where does she get that from. That cannot be true whatsoever.

It's too much crazy to unpack on a daily basis.

Main character syndrome much?

So does her own kid from what I can gather.

Useful Idiots, as they say.
