Rules:

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.

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.

In a way MTG is an inspiration to all. She's proof that even the dumbest, most wretched fucking idiot with no redeeming qualities can have a successful career. Unfortunately for the rest of us, her career is as a hate-mongering, shit heel politician.

Unfortunately for her, too. She might be successful, but she seems fucking miserable all the time.

I've been wondering about that. Do you think the Trump office is a fun place to be? Do you think people are laughing and joking around? I imagine they're deadly serious all the time and only ever laugh to mock someone. I imagine it's absolutely miserable and highly stressful.

I know there are some good people in Georgia. What I don’t know is how they cope with the embarrassment of her. I guess much as we all had to cope with Shitstain L’Orange being our president. Sigh.

Stop pointing cameras at these fucking bridge trolls

In general, you have a point. This time, however, she was spreading antivax conspiracies and those will filter out via social media and the like, so it needs to be confronted.

The idea that the Slovak Prime Minister was shot because of his views in vaccines is ludicrous. The shooter had plenty of views on plenty of different issues, having supported both far right and social liberal parties. Doesn't look like vaccines were relevant in any way. This is just Taylor Greene sparking unjustified indignation among her base.

MTG makes Boebert seem reasonable somehow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I think Boebert knows she's likely screwed with the redistricting and is trying to keep her head down.

Can somebody please just beat the shit out of this bitch? Enough to get her to shut the fuck up, or maybe even to make her change her bullshit ways?

I’m a huge fan of batshit crazy women with toe deformities, I wonder if she’d like to live under my bridge?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Her? Her? You're one sick bastard. 🤢🤮🤮

Bat shit crazy women with big arms and toe deformities.

'Lone wolf' like the time Assange embarrassed the Americans with evidence of their crimes and a rape victim magically appears only to disappear again seven years later. The Americans are the real global terrorist organisation.
