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.

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. VIDEO: JUST IN: Kayleigh McEnany GOES OFF on the New York Times •Jun 29, 2020 Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed the New York Times and the Washington Post at the close of her press briefing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTuvkebxins ***** 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IvanKaramazov 22,564 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
