And then I remembered it IS Marjorie Taylor Greene, so it made perfect sense.

2. She doesn't understand that that's for some talking head to say

and then she just mentions their names and the cult knows what she’s referring to without her actually saying it. But it’s nearly impossible for her to lose that seat other than in a primary.

Everything she says and does is awful on every level.

She knows she is safe in the repuglicon structure and apparently her voters are as abysmal as she is. What's to lose by spewing trash?

At most any other point in History this would be unthinkable - the bar for Republicans can no longer be seen its sunk so low.

12. It's sunk lower than the lowest point of the Marianus Trench.

They're no longer the GOP, they're a melting pot of Trump Q cultists, batshit crazy conspiracy theorists, Fox News bots, and right wing religious extremists. And they're getting louder, angrier, and nastier. 2024 is going to be really ugly.

OpEd by Erwin Chemerinsky

But what is really going on is that Republicans believe that they can appeal to their political base by opposing any Democratic pick for the Supreme Court. And they are willing to resort to whatever it takes.

I don’t know the way out of this toxic mess. Perhaps what’s important to remember is that so long as all the Democrats vote in favor of Jackson, she will be confirmed. Republicans can make a lot of noise and throw around dirt, but they don’t have the votes to block her. Nominees are rarely defeated when the president and the Senate are of the same political party.

Still, the Republicans are sure to make this week’s hearings a spectacle, attacking a nominee who deserves full bipartisan support.

17. The road to hell is paved with Republicans

And, as we've recently learned, Republicans are the owners of hell. They make all the rules, they spit on human decency, they create a horrible alternate universe that steals the minds of the weak minded. They are a disease and evil incarnate.
