One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

[-] currychaos@kbin.social 97 points 1 year ago

I just realised how much MTG related coverage there was on Reddit.

@currychaos

For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣

[-] Octavio@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.

She makes herself and republicans look bad, but still it’s wrong to give someone like her so much publicity. It’s like how CNN etc pumped up Trump by talking about him constantly in 2015.

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

I noticed a BUNCH of news and politics lemmy subs were created recently, and spamming depressing shit here like they did on reddit. Like, fuck off I don’t want to see that shit!

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Politics is hard to balance. Hearing about it is depressing, but not keeping up with it feels wildly irresponsible and a big reason why things are so bad.

clears throat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA inhales HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What a fucking kook. Even the other kooks think you're a fucking kook.

[-] RichardBonham@kbin.social 78 points 1 year ago

Too batshit crazy for the Freedom Caucus is batshit crazy indeed.

[-] Zaneak@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

The sad thing is it was because she called Bobert a little bitch and supported Kevin McCarthy. Not because of wanting to impeach the president over nothing or jewish space lasers or whatever batshit crazy things come out of her mouth.

[-] Techmaster@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

They removed her from the caucus for saying something true.

Wait, was it because she's too fascist or not fascist enough?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

They're claiming it's because of what she said to Boebert, but it's probably because of how she's buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.

[-] aski3252@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Probably neither:

"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.

"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."

I especially enjoyed when she tried to call a meeting to order and all the dems laughed at her. She's a clown. She should be ostracized like the joke that she is.

[-] dub@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow this is literally against her first and second amendment rights!!!1!

When will the Biden/Clinton/Obama's end their reign of tyranny???

[-] Dr_Chocolate@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

This is where they finally draw the line? They are ok with the Nazi shit, but can't call Boobert a bitch.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don't ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren't, it's just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.

This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don't particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960's American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.

But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it's ruining the bake sale! She certainly won't be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.

She shouldn't be anywhere near a Congressional seat.

It's hard to believe that someone is too insane for the HFC. They're all insane.

HA. HAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That is all. That’s the comment.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Sounds like the Freedom Caucus is against freedom of speech!

I love it when the MAGA trash eat each other!

Discussing their relative merits is like sorting turds in a toilet by size.

The real decorum would be ousting her from the house completely

[-] Thafirton@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

Now go after every committee she's on too. They'll never expel her entirely but they can remove her from anything even remotely important.

[-] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds like leopards are eating faces again.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Who knew watching a snake eat it’s own tail could be so fascinating.
