The headline should read "Fool Fooled by Fake Photo"
Marjorie Taylor Greene Fires Back at Lindsey Graham By Posting Photoshopped Pic of Senator Hoisting a Bud Light With Trans Influencer’s Image
On Sunday, Greene tweeted a picture of Graham holding a can of Bud Light with Dylan Mulvaney’s face on it. The trans influencer has been featured on Bud Light’s cans as part of an advertisement partnership, which has a recent source of right-wing culture war outrage.
The image Greene shared showing Graham holding up the beer can with Mulvaney’s image is a photoshopped fake. The original picture was captured by Jason Bahr for Getty Images. It shows Graham holding a glass of beer as he stood next to CNN anchor Dana Bash. It was taken in 2015, back when Graham was competing against former President Donald Trump for the 2016 Republican nomination.

According to this article https://www.vox.com/money/2023/4/12/236 ... ritt-trans at Vox, those cans aren't even available for people to buy. Bud made ONE can with Dylan's image on it that they sent to her, and which she then used in one of her videos. There are no such cans on the market, though, so Graham couldn't be holding or drinking one - unless he somehow got his hands on Dylan's can, and I would rather doubt that.

Reading some of MTG and Boebert's crap about "constitutional republic not a democracy" today. Seems to be getting louder lately. I always wonder what they mean by "republic" and if they've ever had a think about what is meant by representational democracy. it dawned on me that this is more that stupid states-rights, excuse-making.
I thought they were just quibbling about not having direct democracy in the USA, but no. They have thrown out any definition of "republic" that involves lots of people voting; the ignore the idea that a republic is in opposition to a monarch, and put the emphasis on "constitutional".
To these fascists, the idea is to just do what the constitution says. Y'know, like a bible. And of course, they* will do the interpreting in their originalist way. Thus they* will lay down the law, even though they are a minority.
I've heard a bunch of the neo-fascist GOP say this week that "we're not a democracy" and "democracy is a bad idea that was never intended by the Founders." I get it now. They've twisted history and language into a pretzel just so that they* can justify minority rule in perpetuity.
Y'all probably knew that, but it was quite a revelation to me. Live and learn.

She really is a very boring person. Outside the stupid lies, she has nothing to offer.

They are big on crime and punishment, but not on regulation.

This isn't new. We've seen it before. Trump was trying to exercise the Presidential Divine Right to Rule.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 8:50 am Well, not big on crime and punishment if it's one of theirs, e.g., J6, the documents thief (take your pick which).
Nixon said "If the President does it, that means it is not illegal."
That is an extension of the monarchy's divine right to rule as given by God. As God's appointed ruler, they can do no wrong. Therefore the King can never commit a crime. Further, only the King can decide what is a crime. The King decides who the law breakers are, and thus the King decides what their punishment will be.
The GOP is actively trying to return us to an autocracy dressed in religion with the wealthy being the new priests of the temple, and MTG wants so much to be a priestess.

But in the minds of the Reich Wing, those are ALL the Bud Light cans now, and you have to certify you are Gay or Trans yourself to buy them.

And so, therefore, I believe she should not be involved in any type of sensitive, classified information. And she does have some clearances because of her role within the Congress and position on the [Homeland Security] committee"

Posted from her official Congressional account.
The Biden crime family participated in human trafficking by soliciting prostitutes from the United States and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine.
There is an entire crime enterprise wrapped around Joe Biden and his family.
@GOPOversight has a much bigger investigation to do than ever thought possible.

When was the last time a member of Congress accused a President of human trafficking? Holy shit, she’d better have more than the usual RWNJ misinterpretation of facts.

She really wants to push the envelope on what you are allowed to say about public figures without risking defamation. But, we are talking about "through a mail slot" woman here. She is not easily embarrassed by her own actions.
