It seems that Marjorie Taylor Greene has lost her primary in at least one seat...

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s husband files for divorce: report

Perry Greene wants to keep the divorce under seal to protect potentially "negative" sensitive info, report says.

I wonder what it was that finally pushed Perry Greene over the edge if not literally everything she's done for the past whole entire time she's been alive. Still, she's on the market now! Form an ordely qu... wait, where are you going?


Alternative take: he takes half their money before she gets clamslammed out of office and into a January 6th-shaped prison cell, so it's safe for the kids or her when she gets out and they magically rekindle.

What's this? Just a (potentially illegally elected) sheriff from North Carolina screaming about all the black people in the department and how he's going to fire them all because you just can't trust them, you know?

Sheriff: “I’m sick of these Black bastards.... Every Black that I know, you need to fire him...”

In the recording, Greene can be heard saying he’s going to start firing black people who are “guilty by ****ing association” with the former African-American sheriff. Several black members in his department were fired or demoted, and he no longer has any minorities on his command staff.

And I thought decrepit bigot Pat Robertson blaming hurricanes on the gays was bad.



Modern American conservatism is mental illness.

I thought they were going to mention a weak immigration policy, which would have slightly more truth that what I just heard.

Those migrant clouds...

Holy crap. The liberals built a Weather Dominator?

The Democrats are so weak-willed and thin-skinned yet simultaneously as advanced and manipulative as Fallout 4's Institute.

Come on, which is it?

I say Marjorie Taylor Greene has been having an affair with Alex Jones. The two are literally a match made in heaven.

By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

We really really need a facepalm emoji.

That is mind blowing stuff.

Is this an online show or is this on actual legit television??

Hey man, I'm trying to eat breakfast here...

Looks like a channel on Telegram.

It's somewhere between Mad Libs and predictive text word salad. Entirely expected but also accidentally humorous, with a dash of "Ruh rho, one person in roughly ten thousand will believe it".

Elon Musk Twitter deal back on in surprise u-turn

In a letter to Twitter, the billionaire said he would buy the business and honour his original deal.

[TexRex]

But the bot assessment!

 

[Joey D]

Musk probably said it to get the media attention away from how he's simping for Russian interest now. He'll probably back out of the deal for some asinine reason again. But if Musk buy it, I can't wait to see the platform completely fold.

Probably like how the NFL always settles no matter what the claims against them are when the alternative is "open your books."

There's an embarrassing amount of information from the Chancery Court that I haven't delved into because I just haven't had the time but I suspect it was going to be painful for Musk no matter which way it went (renege and pay Twitter a punitive sum or follow through and still pay in addition to the purchase) if he continued to drag it out. Threatening to renege again would also surely be painful.

 

[Danoff]

Twitter needed to stop trying to get Musk to buy them. He needed to back out. Let him back out.

Trump sues CNN claiming defamation, seeks $475 million in punitive damages

Former U.S. president Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation on Monday, seeking $475 million in punitive damages and claiming the network had carried out a "campaign of libel and slander" against him.

I wonder how much of that is just his lawyers talking him into it (or more likely just not talking him out of idiotic ideas) because they'll make a killing just off the fees.
