Just remember: if ever you think you aren't qualified to be in Congress, the bar is people like MTG, Boebert, and Santos.

Santos was overqualified. I heard he had a Ph.D. and was working on a second.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I also heard he was crucified, but then he got better.

Was that before or after he discovered the Higgs boson?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Before, obviously. How else could he have started the Big Bang?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

He was on The Big Bang? Oh, right. He played Sheldon. Did you know he wrote every episode?

Streisand effect in 3...2...1...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

So right...I'll be sure and watch that episode now.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Trust MTG to rail against one of the most popular TV comedy shows of all time.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

The things it doesn't understand drive the Lesser Sporkfoot into a state of rage and confusion.

It is oftentimes in a state of rage and confusion, so much so that many biologists consider those to actually be its default states of existence.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish the media would stop reporting on MTG's various brain droppings. It's like, "We get it", ok? She's both irretrievably stupid and an unnecessary mean CUNext Tuesday, can we please move on?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (4 children)

It's the internet just say the word cunt

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Inapplicable, she lacks the warmth and depth 🥁

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I know but I didn't feel like it

[–] UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT 5 points 6 months ago

Hey eff you, buddy. People can say whatever they frickin want

Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (3 children)

it was a glaring reminder of why most Georgian’s resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits.

I find it funny, yet not surprising, that MTG doesn't know how to use an apostrophe in the English language. Grammer is probably not her strong suit.

There, fixed it. Yeah it's wrong, but at least it's consistently wrong now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Thanks, I hate it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You forgot: ...tax credit's.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You're right...

It wa's a glaring reminder of why mo'st Georgian's re'sent Republican's in our 'state for inviting the na'sty commie's from California, the Hollywood elite's, into our 'state by di'shing out Hollywood tax credit's.

Find and replace, it's the only way to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Grammar*

But your point is nonetheless well taken.

She doesn't have a strong suit. She's a moron and a piece of shit waste of carbon.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

MTG, once again, distracting her voters with stupid rage bate so they ignore what little she does for their wallets, roads, and homes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (9 children)

The episode saw Larry David travel to Georgia, where he finds himself wanting to help an exhausted Georgia citizen who is in line to vote. So, he brings her water—and that’s when the cops show up. In Georgia, only election officials can give waiting voters food or water within 150 feet of polling sites.

David’s character ends up in jail, where he poses a la former President Donald Trump for his mugshot.

Greene didn’t find any of this funny. She tweeted that the episode “lied and painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and red necks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud.”

Can we, like, just stop posting about this shitstain of a human? She doesn't deserve any of this attention. Don't go away mad, MTG - just go away

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Thank you. The less we talk about this stupid individual, the quicker it will go away.

Why are we talking about Magic the Gathering?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Is there a card to make her disappear, or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Unfortunately she's like a walking stack of counterspells at this point.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

The thumbnail didn't load and I was reading the title of the post trying to figure out how the hell Magic the Gathering was going to protect anyone from commies and get so much money for Georgia. I was not in the right frame of mind for politics.

Hey, Sporkfoot...shup.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

The state’s Deputy Secretary of State, Jordan Fuchs, told the New York Times that Curb Your Enthusiasm’s portrayal does not “not reflect bespoke reality here in ~~Georgia~~ my head.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This idiot again.
