  • ‘Go Back to Your Country!’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Unleashes Unhinged Tirade on Foreign Reporter Asking About Signal Controversy

    Jump

  • Her tirade is unhinged, but MAGA’s constant repetition of the same exact false narratives about everyone from other countries is really insidious.

    Repetition is important for getting into people’s memories. Repetition makes things feel true, even if they’re not. Even if someone knows it’s false the first time they hear it, they may unconsciously start to believe it after a few repetitions. The information becomes easier to recall than the actual truth.

    I don’t know what point I’m trying to get at here, but this is the aspect of this news story that has made me the most uncomfortable. Just the reminder that the far-right knows this and they’re using it to their advantage. They’re repeating obvious falsehoods, but the rate and intensity at which they’re saying them is alarming.

  • So…not to be dramatic or anything, but this sounds really fucking bad.

  • Literally no one is getting hurt. No one is actually “terrorized.”

    This is the most frustrating timeline.

  • Thank you for the head-on image of the painting.

    It just looks like…a painting, rather than a photo. His face is a little broad (not chubby, just stretched horizontally), but that literally doesn’t matter?? It’s a painting. Not everyone can pull off (or even wants) photorealism in art.

    If he never said that, how do you know he believed it?

  • Thanks! I wasn’t doubting the article, just wanted more info.

  • The article doesn’t explain how, where the money went, or how the IRS knows this.

    Alabama lawmakers approve paid parental leave for state employees

    Jump

  • Also, “just for state employee” is not a win. All people deserve to have parental leave.

  • Commerce secretary: No one but ‘fraudsters’ would complain about missed Social Security check

    Jump

  • I hope it’s a long shot. I hope people are smart enough to see through this.

    But if people were able to see through the obvious lies by these Nazis, the USA wouldn’t be here now.

  • They were raised by people who went through the depression. “Trust the government” with what is rightfully their money is laughable.

  • United States imports eggs from Korea, Turkey to help ease prices

    Jump

  • True. Everything in the US is just so fucked, and it feels like a great big cycle of fuckery. And American narcissism is not helping.

  • BREAKING: DOGE Strong-Armed USIP Security Contractors to Switch Sides

    Jump

  • Ah. Sounds like each of those security people are guilty of treason against the US government.

  • With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.

    Jump

  • I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.

    But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.

    What fundraising is he referring to though??
