Even the Confederate secessionists were capable of using polysyllabic words properly in their discourse.

She sounds like a second grader in the slow reading group throwing a tantrum.

I just don't want to read about this woman any more. It's obvious she's a troll who is saying ridiculous things to stir anger and get attention.

I vote to secede any dumb and ignorant things she says from Lemmy altogether.

As stupid as the things she says are, she has real, tangible power. It's not smart to ignore such people.

Here in Colorado we have some idiots in at least one county who wants to secede from the state and become part of Wyoming. Personally, I would love that because those people have no idea what they're asking for. Wyoming is one of the strictest states when it comes to cannabis, which would become illegal again. You can't have it both ways where you keep your blue state protections and have your red state affiliation.

She is such a fuckwit.

[-] DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Logic and rational thought seceded from her brain long ago

[-] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe a little time apart wouldn't be such a bad thing? Like a trial separation.

I remember when the rhetoric was to get along with others, including people with different views.

Good. We'll finish Sherman's work

This has to be illegal? Like, a congress woman can say that without repercussion right?

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

If people took MTG seriously, the world would be in a whole heap of trouble.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately there are too many Americans that do take her seriously.

Shouldn't US politics secede from MTG instead?

[-] fruitleatherpostcard@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Yup. Treason-face gonna treason talk.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Don't count her statement out. Yes, letting the REP states go would weaken the union, but think of the popcorn you'd consume while you see them sink without pork barrels and subsidies.

I'm trying to find a way to compare her to someyhing that isn't a derogatory attack on the thing I'm comparing her to.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

A morlock from the bad Time Machine movie works.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
