If Vance gets mauled by a panda in Greenland people will be suspicious that something foul was afoot.
Putin must be like a pig in **** at the moment. He's gone from world pariah to best mate of the US in the space of a few months.
I love the way that when she turned to the US journo and said 'Oh yes an American journalist, we'll take a question from you' and he responded. 'Thank you, I'd like you to answer the question she just asked'
She's ****ing batshit mental mate. She's a white supremacist, Qanon, Pizzagate conspiracy nutjob @Sucky would love her.
****ing hell, just been reading her Wiki page, she's an absolute nutjob... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene
Yup From anti-semitic tropes to space lasers start wildfires, baby eating democrats, white supremacist Jew hating, nationalistic gun toting Nazi supporters She ticks all the boxes Mental that people like her inhabit congress in the US.
I've never really taken an interest in American politics beyond the President and the Deputy, I never realised lunatics like that actually existed within the power of American politics. Well I'll sure remember her now.
There's a few but shes the most nutty I know of. Most of the real crazy ones are Republican women. One is Marjorie Nut's main nemassis, Lauren Boebert- she is like a slightly watered down MTG. She's a gun nut, QAnon supporter, Proud Boys supporter, etc. Despite being basically political clones of each other they hate each other in a very catty way. There's Kristi Noem who wanted to put Trump's head on Mount Rushmore, called COVID a hoax, and said Mexicans were using Indian Reservations to make drugs. (no evidence)... she was subsequently banned from visiting any tribal lands in South Dakota (her state) which is like 20% of the entire state. She was governor and banned from 20% of the state she governed. Surely you've heard about DeSantis in florida and him redirecting State funds to try to take down Disney. Can't remember how it started, Disney disagreed with him on something and DeSantis has spent his entire time in office trying to chase Disney out of Florida. (despite it being the number one tourist attraction in a State that depends on tourist money). He's also the one that as a stunt started flying immigrants to left-leaning states telling the immigrants getting on the plane that they had jobs and housing waiting for them- and then flew them off (states they were going to had no clue until they started landing there- and they had no jobs or housing waiting for them) Joe Wilson, he's the one that yelled at Obama during a state of the Union address. He wants to put Trump's face on a new $200 note. (which I'm ok with since it's only dead people on money ) I've actually been in Joe Wilson's office in the capitol. He's a real nut. He got angry on TV once when someone said America had given Iraq weapons in the past (America had). And he accused Strom Thurmond's daughter for lying that she was Strom's daughter. (Strom was a former senator who was famous for supporting segregation back in the day- kind of a hero to the white-supremacists, his daughter was half black) - DNA tests and Thurmond's family all confirm she really is his daughter. Joe Wilson said she was only claiming that to besmirch Strom's name. (because Wilson is a racist and to him, his racist hero having a black daughter is unthinkable). You know Lindsay Graham, fiercely conservative, known in the transgender escort services as "Lady G" in DC- well known for hiring Tranny escorts. Whereas this itself isn't necessarily batshiat- him pretending to be a fire and brimstone republican whilst taking it up the arse kind of is.
DeSantis is a ****in loon. He also said that Stacey Abrams winning the Georgia governorship would be akin to a foreign adversary taking over and causing a 'cold war' between the two neighbouring states. I've also noticed that the republican led Georgia senate are now going after Abrams as she was a fierce critic of Trump and he hasn't forgotten.
She's probably the worst of the lot, but there are others like her. Unfortunately Trump has given oxygen to these morons, and this is now the direction that the GOP has taken, giving a platform to the most extreme elements in US politics.
Oh, and more on Joe Wilson... he has accused every black person that has run against him of being racist. It's like clockwork. Every district in South Carolina is (quite openly) gerrymandered (not illegal here). So, his district obviously is shaped in a way that it will have a republican majority, but contains a lot of small black-majority communities too. As a result, his democrat opponent is almost always black. He accuses each and every one of them of being racist- pretty much his campaign stance: "Vote for me because the black guy is racist"
That's a lot to read lol....but you seem to know your American politics, so I might learn something from this.
Dissent is fine. There’s plenty of dissent. The issue is the number of people intent on a bit more than dissent. Good morning though.
