    In a way MTG is an inspiration to all. She’s proof that even the dumbest, most wretched fucking idiot with no redeeming qualities can have a successful career. Unfortunately for the rest of us, her career is as a hate-mongering, shit heel politician.

        You mean the trading card game that used to be coherent but these days is whored out to every franchise on Earth so Hasbro can make a quick buck, reputation be damned? There are worse comparisons.

          Yes, but you can still always play it the old fashioned way with the older cards.

          Joking aside, in real life, Americans all seem to call her Marjorie Taylor Greene. Not MTJ, not Moscow Marge, just her full time.

        It has meant Magic: The Gathering decades longer than it ever meant her. She cannot ruin the initialism.

      Unfortunately for her, too. She might be successful, but she seems fucking miserable all the time.

        I’ve been wondering about that. Do you think the Trump office is a fun place to be? Do you think people are laughing and joking around? I imagine they’re deadly serious all the time and only ever laugh to mock someone. I imagine it’s absolutely miserable and highly stressful.

      I know there are some good people in Georgia. What I don’t know is how they cope with the embarrassment of her. I guess much as we all had to cope with Shitstain L’Orange being our president. Sigh.

      In general, you have a point. This time, however, she was spreading antivax conspiracies and those will filter out via social media and the like, so it needs to be confronted.

    The idea that the Slovak Prime Minister was shot because of his views in vaccines is ludicrous. The shooter had plenty of views on plenty of different issues, having supported both far right and social liberal parties. Doesn’t look like vaccines were relevant in any way. This is just Taylor Greene sparking unjustified indignation among her base.

    Can somebody please just beat the shit out of this bitch? Enough to get her to shut the fuck up, or maybe even to make her change her bullshit ways?

      I think Boebert knows she’s likely screwed with the redistricting and is trying to keep her head down.

    ‘Lone wolf’ like the time Assange embarrassed the Americans with evidence of their crimes and a rape victim magically appears only to disappear again seven years later. The Americans are the real global terrorist organisation.
