This is a member of Congress...

 

calling for the destruction of the United States. In anyone's book, that's treasonous.


Give a stupid person even a little power (Rep. Greene is as stupid as it gets), and this is what you'll hear:




Marge:  "Everyone I talk to says this."  

But this halfwit doesn't tell us that the "everyone" she talks to is as moronic as she is, and that the "everyone" she refers to believes breaking up America into "Us and Them" is a great idea. It's not. It's a traitorous idea.



She might be the most attention-seeking member of Congress in history, but to have a representative openly and so casually call for an end to the country is really notable. For people who doubt what a lot of us warn about, let this be a wake up call.

And don’t talk to me about a need to separate between Red and Blue States. There is no such thing. It’s a political fiction. There are plenty of good, vulnerable, and poor people who you should care about in every single state.




Let’s review some of the governing principles of America, : Our country is governed by the Constitution. You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.

BREAKING: Republicans, specifically Marjorie Taylor Greene, is now calling for a “National Divorce,” They want the United States to no longer be “United.” They literally want to break apart our country. This is Putin and Russia’s wildest dream come true. Our founding fathers would be rolling in their graves.

PRESIDENTS' DAY, 2023

 










President Biden in Kyiv. It is an act of incredible bravery. It is strong symbol of support and friendship. It is a direct and very clear signal for Putin. Ukraine will win! Sincere admiration and gratitude from all Ukrainians!

SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING

 


Back to the movies!



FAUX NOOZ viewers have been duped for years, but are too dense to know it!

 


Fox News hosts, execs privately doubted 2020 conspiracy claims shared on air


 
Host Sean Hannity testified he “did not believe … for one second” that Powell’s voter fraud claims were true and it was “obvious” Powell’s allegations were false when she appeared on his program, also saying far-right attorney Rudy Giuliani was “acting like an insane person” and calling the lawyers “f’ing lunatics.” 

 Host Tucker Carlson said in text messages that far-right attorney Sidney Powell “is lying” and called her claims “insane” and “absurd,” saying it was “shockingly reckless” to push the Dominion fraud claims and Powell was “poison,” an “unguided missile” and “dangerous as hell.” 

Ingraham called Powell a “complete nut” and added “ditto with Rudy [Giuliani] ,” telling Carlson that “no serious lawyer could believe what they were saying” and calling Giuliani “such an idiot.”










Folks like the blogger quoted below fell for FAUX NOOZ lies, and still refuses to face the truth. There are many more out in the blogsphere like this poor duped Trumper: 





RONALD REAGAN'S LEAGACY:

 

By Peter Baldi, fellow Melrosian:



Incase you've been under a rock, a train derailed in Ohio. And then the comedy ensued.
Norfolk Southern Railway owns the rails and the train.
Norfolk Southern spent $6 million to overturn the Obama administration's requirement that individual rail cars carrying toxic chemicals be equipped with emergency brakes.
The trump administration overturned the rule requiring the brakes.
A train carrying toxic chemicals derails.
The liquid in the tanks leaked into a nearby waterway killing thousands of fish.
Norfolk Southern, fearing the derailed cars may explode, decides to vent the cars and burn off the contents; without notifying any governmental or law enforcement entity.
The resulting gas is phosgene; a poisonous gas used in WWI.
Governor Mike DeWine states that he sees no need for Federal help, and that the local people should drink bottled water.
Senator J.D. Vance tells the local residents that he is working closely with FEMA, but there is no FEMA because FEMA can only respond once the Governor declares a State of Emergency: which he hasn't.
J.D. Vance blames Biden for the crash because none of the funds from the infrastructure bill were spent on that railway. Which is privately owned.
Only 623 miles of railway are owned by the Federal government. None of which is in Ohio.
Governor DeWine complains that the Transportation Secretary, a federal employee which he says he doesn't need, hasn't visited the crash site. Which is privately owned.
DeWine tells the residents to drink bottled water.
A second Norfolk Southern train derailed today.
Here's the humor. Mike DeWine is a republican. J.D. Vance is a republican. The politicians who voted to eliminate the rule requiring brakes on toxic tanker cars were republicans. The people of Ohio voted republican. So my advice is to, breathe deep and drink bottled water.
Late Thursday update: multiple GOP senators call for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign, with senator Marco Rubio releasing the following statement regarding Buttigieg:
“Even after acknowledging the tragedy, he continues to deflect any accountability for the safety of our nation’s rail system. The circumstances leading up to the derailment point to a clear lack of oversight and demand engagement by our nation’s top transportation official.”
Someone should tell Marco that our nation’s rail system is privately owned, and the federal government is barred by law from its oversight. It can’t even require toxic chemical train cars to have brakes.
More humor from the party whose official policy is unfettered business, and whose hero famously said, “The 9 most terrifying words in the English language are, I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.


*********************************

 NYTimes: "The precise cause of the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine is still under investigation. But we know it occurred in an industry that tolerates too many preventable derailments and fights too many safety regulations. During the Obama and Trump administrations, the rail industry successfully lobbied against stricter rules for trains carrying flammable chemicals, and against more advanced brakes that experts and the rail industry itself have said could lessen the severity of derailments."

Does anyone care anymore?

 


BREAKING: Another evening, another mall shooting. At least 10 shots fired inside the Wolfchase mall In Memphis, TN. So sad that Americans deal with this crap as if it was normal. No reports on victims or fatalities as of yet.
