If they're happy having a Nazi Chant Mix Tape instead of a Representative in Congress, I'm okay with that.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
I really wish I was, but I'm not. I'm not ok with Jim Jordan making our laws. Or Devin Nunes. Or Matt Gaetz. And I sure as heck don't want MJT anywhere near those decisions.
But I guess the crazy AF faction of the U.S. gets to be represented too.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
We know what AF ordinarily means, but, in the above usage, there are many intriguing alternative possibilities:
"Crazy Ass Fascist faction"
"Crazy Anti-Federalist faction"
"Crazy Alligator Fighter faction"
"Crazy As FOX faction"

I wondered briefly if she’d been in the Air Force.

But they're not. Not by her anyhow. She's a minority Congressperson from a shitty trailer park district in Georgia who, by the way, has been stripped of committee assignments.
The good people of "Axle Acres Mobile Home Villa" are getting great Representation on OAN and Newsmax, but this loopy (insert inapproroiate pronoun of your choice here, try to pick something that doesn't offend you) can't even get on Fox News.
Same same for Matt (want some candy little girl" Gatz and Gym Jordan is not far behind. Loui Gohmert, that crippled molester from North Carolina and the rest, they don't want to make laws, they don't know how to make laws. They see their jobs as providing images for the wank bank of RWNGs and using that fame to fund raise so they get invited to good parties and be television personalities.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't "believe in evolution"
What she said: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said this week she does not "believe in evolution," adding, "I don't believe in that type of so-called science."
What she's saying: Greene leaned on religion to explain the origins of the coronavirus. "Why is there any need to create a virus that could spread rapidly to a population, to make people sick and kill them? That is a bioweapon," she said.
How it's interpreted:
Can't say I disagree with his analysis.

I often have the impression that for Americans history begins with Columbus, and they forget that the Christian deity dropped several nasty illnesses on his believers over Europe, think the plague in medevial times, more recently tha Spanish Flue.tweet wrote:Marjorie Taylor Greene says COVID is a bioweapon because God would never create a fatal illness that harms people
Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
America is the chosen land, not Europe. Europe is filled with all that multiculturalism that God hates. In all seriousness, many of the religious groups that settled the US did so because Europe was too tolerant of other cultures and religions, so within their framework I could actually see the argument that God was perfectly find dropping plagues on europe due to all the non WASPs there.
I suspect the counterargument for the Spanish Flu would be similar... God was ok making THOSE people sick, but then they came to America and infected God's People.

That old Black Death was a doozy, wasn't it? 75 to 200 million dead. Covid19 deaths stand at a little under 4 million. Yes, that is probably undercounted by a little bit. But still... On the other hand few died here in America, a Christian country.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:57 amI often have the impression that for Americans history begins with Columbus, and they forget that the Christian deity dropped several nasty illnesses on his believers over Europe, think the plague in medevial times, more recently tha Spanish Flue.tweet wrote:Marjorie Taylor Greene says COVID is a bioweapon because God would never create a fatal illness that harms people

+600k deaths in the US.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
Isn't there a bunch of right-wing folks who think AIDS is punishment? I would not be surprised if she has trumpeted that one in the past. If pressed, she would deny she said it (even if there was a video of such) and then say, well it's different with COVID.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
It always amazes me that the people in the Bible Belt never see all the floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes that devastate them year after year as punishment. Maybe they are missing a wake-up call?

And what about the plagues that God visited upon Egypt, as documented in the bible Book of Exodus? God not only allowed the plagues, he (according to the Bible) specifically created them and targeted them at the Egyptians.zekeb wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:56 amThat old Black Death was a doozy, wasn't it? 75 to 200 million dead.

And smallpox has been around for thousands of years, with many, many recorded outbreaks. These occurred long before the technology to create viruses and to weaponize bacteria even existed. In fact, it was technology that eliminated the disease from the earth. There hasn't been a recorded case of smallpox, anywhere in the world, since 1977.

I would not bet on that.
Or rather, I would not bet on it sticking for more than ten minutes. So it better be a short speech.
