      she would not be welcome in the UK. We do not tolerate fascism here.

        Lol I wish. A fascist party got the third most votes at the last election.

          they won five out of 650 seats, not even 1% 🙂

            Not a lot. Should be zero. But at least it’s below 10.

              If they had zero support there would be no need for places to sell milkshakes.

                I’m honestly shocked that people manage to find a McDonald’s with a functioning milkshake machine often enough to turn it into a tradition

    The good news is, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s craziness may be starting to wear her constituents’ patience thin.

      Although that is great news, I hope we’re all taking notes about how far Republicans are willing to let their elected officials go before them being pieces of shit finally matters more than owning the libs. Quite fucking far, like destruction of the nation far. (Trump still polling at 92% approval with Republicans)

      If we have free and fair elections again, let’s all please remember this. I plan to reach the end of natural life expectancy without ever pulling a lever for R, not even for the tiniest of local positions. They showed us what they do when they get power in 2017, then had four years to plan, and now are really showing us where their values are. Turns out their values are exactly as shitty as we expected.

      R is the party of destruction, intentional harm, and bigotry. It’s all they do.

    As the reporter, I would write a big general article about the unhingedness of American politicians, with MTG as a shining example, and Sarah Palin as supporting evidence.

    You can’t unleash an unhinged tirade if it was never hinged or leashed to begin with.

    She argues like she works out— just a lot of desperate flailing.
