Trump is the one to watch, not Marge. He's distracted and losing his shit over her apparent defection, and he is out to destroy her - which is the kind of thing "strongmen" do to those who are disloyal. I do think she's playing to her constituents, who have been suffering due to Trump's stupid economics. Grab the popcorn... Trump knows he has to take her down because if he doesn't, he will look weak, and that's something he hates.

The green and blue texts are from MTG, not Trump. She is showing screenshots of the texts she sent him.

This entire government is beginning to read like a badly scripted soap opera, fingers poiinting in all directions, accusations and denials , lies, lies, and lord help us more lies--I have never, in all these years, seen a more dysfunctional government which seems to be spending all their time and/or our money while behaving like six year olds arguing about who pushed who off the swings in the school yard...

We are becoming an embarassment to ourselves, frankly, and lord alone knows what the rest of the world is thinking (while glued to their tv sets and phones...)

We have never lived under a more incompetent, corrupt and dangerous regime, and it's high time the public started taking it seriously. Hundreds if not thousands of people all over the world have already died because Trump has decided they weren't worth America's help.

America has been the keeper of the world's order since the end of WW2, albeit imperfectly, but now it merely looks stupid, incompetent and dangerous.

Brian Glenn, the right-wing Real America’s Voice reporter who’s been dating Greene for a few years, shared photos of the two together on X Saturday. “I love this woman,” he wrote. “I love this country. God bless America.”

“I love you @brianglenntv,” Greene replied.

“Nobody cares, simp!” Laura Loomer wrote to Glenn. “Trump should revoke your White House press pass.”

“Shut up bitch,” he replied in quote marks with a laughing emoji.

Loomer: “Oh no, MTG’s boyfriend who cheated on his wife to be with an ape is calling me a bitch. How will I ever recover?”

Any group that has a high rate of narcissists will welcome you to the club but there can only be one winner. Eventually they will seek to destroy each other. It’s already begun. Gaetz is a huge narc and is likely so pissed that he was benched when he surely thinks he’d look better than Trump being POTUS. Gosh may we get wiser and stop thinking narcissists look good for anything.

Okay, podcaster. Being goofy doesn’t make him a comedian.

Legal troubles are keeping me awake.

Some girl sent me a letter threatening to sue me in small claims court because she parked her car on the street in front of a house we own and our sprinklers allegedly somehow ruined her car's custom paint. She says I'm not allowed to hire a lawyer.

The issue should be with the quality of the paint on the car.

Park your car where the sprinkler water will hit it. Video the water hitting the car, note how long the water hit the car. Take pictures before and after the water. Have a couple of people with you to witness the procedure.

I did some work for a guy once and when I didn't finish the job faster than he expected he threatened to sue me for the balance of his CC loans. I quickly and politely washed my hands of that entire deal.

So you can't hire yourself? SMDH ... if water ruins your custom paint job, you're probably suing the wrong people ...

Even assuming she is right about how the damage occurred, her beef is with the City. I'm not responsible for the water being caustic.

Last night I walked into the kitchen and found the spousal unit with a magnifying glass trying to read the recycling number on a bottle. “Can you tell if that’s a 1 or 2?”

“Doesn’t matter. If it’s plastic, throw it in the recycles. Let them sort it out. If the City wants us to sort their recycling then let them put pressure on Congress to force the packaging companies to use a larger font than 2-point.”

It all goes in the same landfill. Many (if not most) recycling contracts don't actually require the "recyclers" to recycle material. They can do so, or not, if they feel like it's worth it to them. Their contract just requires them to haul it away. Where they take it is up to them. Last I heard, prices for plastic have been too low for recycling to be cost effective.

This is one of my soapbox issues and I do the same. If the country wants us to recycle then don't make it so damn difficult. This is corporate america lying to the masses and not recycling nearly as much as they want us to believe. THEY need to fix this shit not us.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Maybe I'm too cynical, because I think the motive is far more evil. I think they went back to humiliate the owners. "See what we did? Nothing you can do about it. Now serve us."

Villafrade and Rebolloso told Channel 9 the laundromat will offer free pickup and delivery and a discount on its laundry service all week, so their customers don’t have to leave their homes.

A quote from a story about a game about vampires that I imagine many here will appreciate:

"The more sentries he leaves in pieces, the more Notorious he may become, and the greater the guard presence in town. You'll also want to feed him blood regularly if you don't want him to suddenly become a spitting, biting dervish at random. At least one of the previous two sentences also describes my cat."

Not to give her props, but Empty-G may have realized there’s really no threat to her from the Trump right in her rural district. I think the Republican town halls have exposed the risk of being “primaried” from the Right is a whole lot smaller than being point-shaved from the left. And there are a lot of Republican Representatives from similar rural districts just like her out there.

This next year is going to be interesting. The one thing the Democrats should do is make sure that not one single Republican Representative or State legislator runs unopposed. They need a warm body in every race.
