If she's not a Russian asset, she's at least parroting their talking points.
Since we're all asking for various content filters, can I kindly request that all posts about this woman have an NSFW tag so I don't have to see that face in my feed?
"not safe for the world"?
Russian talking points masquerading as maverick Republican moves. Her base won't know the difference, which may be the real issue.
She doesn't understand the concept of soft power and how much a bit of money will get you what you want.
she only cares about the money Russia is going to funnel to her.
She does, it's just that she's the one receiving the money.
I was going to say that there isn't a dumber elected official, but then I remembered Boebert. Man, if someone is going to be that dumb, they should at least be nice, and either way they shouldn't be helping to run the country. Such a complete embarrassment.
Remember when the dumbest ones were Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann?
To be honest, I couldn't remember Bachmann's name so I just Googled "tea party congresswoman idiot" and it was the first hit...
Oh, God, I'd almost forgotten that name. In those days one of my employees came to work on Halloween dressed as a "Tea party crackpot." His clothes made to look like made out of china with a big crack down from the neck, then big fake tea bags all over and each had a nut job quote from tea party members. I think about a third of them were Bachmann's. Things like ''I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back" and ''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''
2016 I mocked up a fake bumpersticker:
Palin/Bachmann 2016! It's a no-brainer!
Spot on. You could do one for 2024 for MTG and Boebert, but sadly some people would be excited by the prospect.
That's so weird that an extremist Trump republican wants to do something that would be massively helpful to Russia
I'm literally on the other side of the world to her and I can see that she's either a blithering idiot, a Russian asset, or a blithering idiot being used by a Russian asset.
She's a useful idiot. The issue is that the GOP doesn't want democracy. They want a dictator they agree with. So they always echo fascist talking points because they're also fascists.
I don't think she could figure out how to roll a bowling ball.
I'm certain she would struggle to find the flat part of a piece of paper.
There is a rising GOP faction that wants a white ‘Christian’ authoritarian regime so badly that they will adopt one in Russia.
So weird to suggest leaving NATO as the solution to other participants allegedly not contributing their fair share. I guess this is one of those "take the ball and go home" compromises I've heard about?
This whole "paying their fair share" is sort of a red herring too. I remember when Trump was talking about this and saying NATO was ripping us off. That's not how this works. In 2014 NATO countries agreed to spend 2% of their budget on defense. This was so the countries would have a military deterrence and wouldn't just be relying on the USA on other countries to step in if they got in trouble.
If the other countries don't spend that much, no one is "owed" any money. No one got ripped off. The USA didn't suddenly incur a bill or spend money to make up that shortfall. Those countries simply don't have as large of a defense program as NATO would like.
Do they not teach about the line item veto in civics class in Georgia anymore?
