Your reaction is just absurd. You made a dumb, unfunny attempt at humor. That happens. But now you’ve spent 4 posts whining about how nobody laughed with you. You accused me of not liking you personally, you accused the forum of being pro-liberal, you act like a victim. 
It wasn’t funny. Calling people morons isn’t funny. It has nothing to do with what political side you’re on. It’s stupid. It will always be stupid. You’re not a stupid guy so why not chalk it up to a dumb moment and move on? 

You really need to lighten up, Tim.

And you've even MADE UP an entire history of the exchange to justify your fake outrage.  Wow.

this whole reaction of yours is simply absurd.

UNF? No, it's not. But there is a part of the Virginia that is west of West Virginia. And Detroit, for that matter.

And Reno is further west than LA.

 

That is our geography lesson for today.

This take was lazy and off-base when Trump was in office and is even worse now. 

Anyway, help me reconcile how you say we shouldn't underestimate KM's political potential in one paragraph only to chastise MTG in the next for being a "politically inexperienced middle aged straight white woman without a military background."  

Beyond the obvious attractiveness difference, they're pretty similar prototypes to me:. White females with little political experience other than to be vicious Trump disciples.  

 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayleigh_McEnany

McEnany is 32 years old and graduated in the top 1 percent of her class at Harvard Law. She's got a track record in the White House (Office of Communications) and MSM ( CNN) before Press Secretary and is endorsed by George W Bush and Mike Huckabee. McEnany got zero honeymoon period under Trump, she was immediately attacked and she held her own. If she ran for public office today, she IMMEDIATELY garners the support of Trump's entire base. She could easily become Mayor of a mid level sized area or join the HOR in an established red stronghold. Becoming WH Press Secretary is an incredible career achievement. She has national name brand recognition and can enter the daily media cycle on a semi regular basis because of it. She has an incredibly high Q Score and E Score considering she's linked to the Trump Administration. A lot of the critical suburban female voting base will see her as someone who made the most of an opportunity in front of her over her linkage to Trump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene

MJT is 46 years old and a freshman in Congress. Where her background was running a business she inherited from her father and starting a Cross Fit Box. She's been linked to heavy conspiracy theories and has been turfed from Congressional committees. She has generated name brand recognition in the daily media cycle, but much of it leans negative. Her Q Score and E Score are tanked and probably for good.

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed the New York Times and the Washington Post at the close of her press briefing.

*****

McEnany is incredibly prepared and was battle tested on one of the biggest stages during some of the most brutal moments in modern politics. What she's achieved at age 32 is incredible, your view of Orange Man Bad doesn't change that reality.

 

[Snorkelson 4,376]

“McEnany is 32 years old and graduated in the top 1 percent of her class at Harvard Law.”

 

From your link: At the Miami School of Law, McEnany was a recipient of the Bruce J. Winick Award for Excellence, a scholarship awarded to students in the top 1% of their class.[5] She completed her second and third years of law school at Harvard, and graduated from Harvard in 2016.[2]

Still an achievement to be proud of, but not quite on par with top 1% at Harvard.

Quote

Controversial conspiracy congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene cheated on her husband with a polyamorous tantric sex guru, DailyMail.com has learned.

Then after ending her affair with him, the mom-of-three moved on to a gym manager behind her husband's back.

But despite the tawdry flings, Taylor Greene stuck with her husband Perry as she made her unlikely rise that has turned her into the most talked-about Republican in Washington, D.C.

Neither man denied the affairs when approached by DailyMail.com. 

Craig Ivey, the tantric sex practitioner, said: 'I will not respond to anything about this,' while the other man, Justin Tway, said: 'I have no interest in talking about anything to do with that woman. Everything with her comes to no good.'

Polyamorous tantric link

[IvanKaramazov 22,564]

Say what you will about QAnon people, but between the polyamorous tantric sex guru and that shaman guy who stormed the capitol, these people live lives that are incredibly more interesting than mine.  I mean, here I am sitting in my office, and my big plans for the night involve getting slightly baked and playing XCOM.  I feel like I'm kind of wasting my life here.

If it makes you feel any better, it's entirely possible that the shaman guy's daily life may soon be significantly less interesting.

Boy, this article is just full of good nuggets.  Some highlights:

On Instagram, Ivey calls himself The Tantric Warrior, describing himself as 'Living a warrior lifestyle while finding tantric love'. He also participates in reenactments of medieval battles and teaches sword fighting. Above, he is seen dressed as Zangief' a character from video game Street Fighter II

Ivey's profile picture on his Facebook page shows him standing stark naked by a waterfall. He has now set up a gladiator bootcamp called The Ludus

In an undated video, Taylor Greene was seen dragging a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump on stage and then rubbing its crotch as she says how great he is

Medical News Today defines tantric sex as a 'slow, meditative form of sex where the end goal is not orgasm but enjoying the sexual journey and sensations of the body.'

Let’s tread lightly with the slut shaming. Her taste in men may be bizarre, but it’s not disqualifying. You could argue that she’s a hypocrite for claiming to uphold Christian values, but the same can be said for most of Christians.
 

However, rubbing the crotch of a cardboard cutout in front of a political rally is just ... nuts.

Democrat posts trans flag across from Marjorie Taylor Greene's House office

Rep. Marie Newman (D-Ill.) said Wednesday she installed a trans pride flag outside her office after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R.-Ga.), who works in a neighboring office, called an LGBTQ rights bill “an attack on God’s creation.”

“Our neighbor, @RepMTG, tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral, and evil.’ Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door,” Newman tweeted.

The Illinois Democrat included a video of herself adding the flag and a shot of Greene’s office directly across the hall.

MTG is a horrible human being and downright mentally unstable.  That said, I'm not a fan of this kind of trolling, no matter who does it.  If one wants to fly an LGBTQ flag to support the cause, I'm all for it.  Using the same flag to troll one's political opponents seems to make this about scoring cheap political/Instagram points versus actual support, though.

Not mentioned in the little blurb above, but Representative Newman's daughter is transgender. So while it was a bit of trolling on her part, there was a personal connection to the cause.

The really disgusting part took place after Newman put up the flag though. Greene responded by hanging a large sign outside her door that reads "There are two genders: MALEand FEMALE. Trust the Science!"

This woman is a terrible person. Ugh

This is another one of those stories where it's hard to tell if we're electing more toddlers to office than we used to, or if we've always elected toddlers and we're just now finding out about it thanks to social media.  

Either way, this is good information to have the next time somebody suggests that these folks should be trusted to pick winners and losers, regulate complicated marketplaces, redistribute large amounts of wealth in an intelligent manner, and so on.

To be fair, if the roles were reversed and it were a Democrat who made that mistake...and a Republican of congress brought the military to to explain it to the Democrat... there wouldn't be enough mops in the country to mop up the excitement on Right Wing media sources.
