Sad to see Fetterman 'bothsides-ing' MTG attacking House Reps Crockett and AOC. Glad to see one of Biden's National

1. MTG is a fucking knuckle-dragging Neanderthal

[JI7]

2. He is totally wrong on this

There was no both sides here.

4. yes, it plays right into these rule-breaking gambits by the Rethugs, that part gets lost in the 'OMG both-sides' chaos:

AOC:

You see, this is the microcosm of what authoritarians do on a larger scale.

ID a vulnerable person/community that’s easier to break the rules towards, normalize it (often w/ “both sides” rhetoric), and then use that rule-breaking to undermine deeper processes and rule of law.

That’s why this stuff isn’t just all-sides chaos, or mere distraction, or a pox on everyone’s house.

They WANT you to think this was some random devolution of conduct instead of a structured GOP outcome.

We must understand who and what actions created the situation. It matters.

3. That country song is hilarious. Nt

5. yes, Tennessee Brando from Meidas Touch is great

Wrote a song that went viral, here’s the reactions to it!

8. "Right back at ya, Marge", Tennessee Brando. Thank you. kr

6. Her contributions probably surged from her white wing district and supporters elsewhere.

I think one has to say something so hateful/vile/unnecessary to get contributions from the rubes who support her.

Depending on outcome of GA primary Tuesday, looks like there will be a good Democrat against her. Unfortunately, that district doesn’t like good candidates, just unashamed white wing crazies.

7. To men, it probably looks like a cat fight

but the real fault lies with whoever didn't call MEG to order, reminding her where she is and that certain standards of adult behavior are expected and that if she continues to act like a catty teenager, she'll be asked to leave and not readmitted.

Had that person done his or her job, the problem would likely not have occurred.
