March 18, 20214 yr Marjorie Taylor Greene demands Guam National Guard be sent home after ‘ambushing’ her office with cookies ‘American servicemen are being forced to defend Fort Pelosi’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-guam-national-guard-cookies-b1818201.html Quote "Guam's congressional delegate, Michael San Nicholas, leading more than two dozen National Guard troops to ambush my office unannounced and subsequently video record my staff without solicitation or consent," Ms Greene said. The new face of the GOP is very upset with US military delivering cookies and calls it an ambush. Perhaps they were just meandering, like on the 6th, which did not seem to upset her so much.

March 18, 20214 yr On 3/16/2021 at 2:48 PM, Lloyd said: I'm not usually one of those "ignore it and it'll go away" people, but seeing how we amplified Trump tweets - and Tucker - and how nobodies like Ron Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene become household names off of being crap stains - I've reached a point where I mostly ignore them. Tucker, Ron Johnson and MTG know what they're doing. They say dumb crap, spark outrage, then the Trump base responds with counter-outrage and circles the wagons around them. We call them dumb, but everything they say into a microphone is planned and intended to serve a purpose. And not to "both sides" this, but their behavior creates an ecosystem that benefits both sides. Left-leaning news makes it a headline. Right-leaning news defends it or swings to what-about-ism. Both sides get clicks and "likes" and "shares". Same with the political parties. And then the politicians themselves get name recognition, as we're all forced to take a position on someone we didn't even know existed. After all that ranting, I still don't know the solution. You certainly can't have Ron Johnsons of the world populating our major political parties. So, we can't shrug off his racist nonsense. But do the Tuckers, Johnsons, and MTGs even spew the nonsense if it's not gonna attract widespread condemnation? I don't know. I think you're right. Probably best to ignore them. Reminds me of an old quote. 150+ years old... Facts can't match feelings. You try and refute the falsehoods but it only feeds them more.

March 19, 20214 yr Wonder if there’s any video out there ? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-wax-figure-punched_n_6053fcc8c5b6d6c2a2a6195f
March 21, 20214 yr Has Trumpism collectively lowered their IQ or are they just trying to appeal to their base?

March 26, 20214 yr Author I don't think the bribery angle works. There are various charities one can donate to that bring pizza and drinks to those waiting in line to vote. The pizza isn't contingent on people voting a particular way, so it's not bribery.
March 26, 20214 yr If Georgia created enough polling stations, people wouldn't have to stand in line for hours to vote. But they can't, so I feel like they're punishing voters for their own incompetence. It's wrong.

Plus, I doubt some food/drank is gonna sway someone’s vote. I’d take the free sheet, and then go vote for whoever I was gonna vote for.
March 26, 20214 yr Remember when I said that the republican party stood for getting rid of elections all together and they were taking incremental steps in that direction and the both siders called me crazy? Good times. 1 minute ago, L.E said: Fairy certain I heard it justified that way a few weeks ago. "Want a free ice cold water? Vote for X and it's yours!" I'm still waiting for my free Trump steaks for voting for Trump in 2016!
