Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

“I’m not a doctor, but I have a PhD in recognising bullshit when I hear it.”
I guarantee you that she thinks this makes her sound tough. And not extremely stupid.
That's because her Republican base tells her she sounded tough and very smart.
Right?
Like... Marge...please... we're all just surprised you can spell PhD correctly.
She said it, so there's no evidence that she can spell it.
We need more people to start yelling at her through the mail slot in her office door
We shouldn't sink to her level.
However, if someone were to press up and fart through her mail slot, I'd be okay with that.
We absolutely should.
There nothing wrong with political eye for eye
It's right in that book they all love to quote so much... I think after the incest story, but before the part that says she has to leave the city during menstruation.
Dunning-kruger effect of bullshit spotting??
Who cares?
Le sigh.
Reliving the hits, now? Gonna go for getting more of your base killed by shilling medical conspiracy theories? Because COVID still kills people, especially the unvaccinated.
Stupid fucking hick says stupid hick shit.
Hey now, dont insult hicks by comparing them to this inbred white trash.
Experts: Using rigorous science and data gathering, we've come to the conclusion among us that the vaccine was effective in saving lives.
MTG, a genius: Nuh-uh!
Qanon Jewish space lasers has a great radar for bullshit. Totally.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a walking joke. she gives hill billy's a bad name.
Expert with years of experience and spent decades studying the subject vs second-dumbest woman in Congress
Somebody should attack her for doubting the vaccine Trump ~~developed~~ took credit for.
Noted epidemiologist Marjorie Taylor Green
Why do we care about Nazi Barbie's uneducated opinion on anything? Quit giving the idiot headlines and eventually she'll go away like the idiot who could see Russia from her snl sketch.
I find her continued existence to be bullshit.
"He's Dr. Tran, and He's got a PhD in KICKING-YOUR-ASS"
"I'm not a doctor"
what a classic.
I'M NOT A MCOCODITY!
"Dr. Tran will be down at your local record store this Tuesday from four til' nine, just giving out hot dickings!"
I hate my state for allowing this foul thing to be anywhere near power
You know I just realized I've never had Georgia BBQ so I figured I'd ask, it's good, right? Y'all have at least contributed some deliciousness to the world and that make y'all OK.
True. Just be sure to try the Hispanic food here too. Nothing slaps like tostones with mac n cheese, barbeque chicken, and a tall glass of sweet tea. 🤤
Well, I do at least believe she has a PHD in bullshit. She spews so much every single day, that she must truly be a professional in the field.
That's why her degree is in recognizing bullshit. All she had to do was take a photo of herself and present it as her thesis.
but, if she had a PhD in Bullshit then she would be a doctor!
Wow she's not a doctor but she says she has a PHD?
I Smell Bullshit
Tell me more 'jewish space lazer' lady.
Shup, 'ho.
When's the house landing on this witch?
Taylor Greene said: “I’m not a doctor, but I have a PhD in recognising bullshit when I hear it.”
Wrong, Majorie, you have a PhD in producing bullshit.
It says a lot about the stupidity of her voters that she has an office.
If we lived in the world she wants us to believe she says we live in, she'd be given the Nalvany treatment.
She's either an idiot or a troll. Neither deserves our attention.
She's both.
Didn't she claim all the bullshit already?!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Capitol Hill on Thursday, Greene attended a hearing staged by the House oversight select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic.
The expert Greene responded to, Dr Peter Marks, the director of biologics evaluation and research at the Food and Drug Administration, also described how at the height of the pandemic in the US, “about 3,300 [people], about a World Trade Center disaster a day”, were dying of Covid-19, contributing to a death toll of more than 1.1m.
Greene, from Georgia, is a former CrossFit gym owner, conspiracy theorist and controversialist who entered Congress in 2021 and has assumed an influential position in a House Republican caucus controlled by the far right.
Touting herself as a possible vice-presidential pick for Donald Trump, she is set to act as a manager in the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, a process Greene drove in the House.
Speaking after Marks answered questions from the Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin, Greene first dismissed the doctor’s comments as “bullshit”.
Then she used her allotted five minutes to deliver rambling remarks about “all kinds of injuries, miscarriages, heart attacks, myocarditis, permanent disability, neurological problems” that she said had arisen from “people being forced to take vaccines”.
The original article contains 572 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hick cunt, she is.
