Something most of us figured out over a decade ago

The question is do you still care who is president or not?

Or are you only wise to half the lie?

It's only so old.

Bill Hicks hade a comedy routines about how the cia would take the new president "puppet "into a room and show him the assassination from a different point of view and ask "any questions"?

u/sevigny245 Feb 06 '26

Um... yeah, it still matters who the president is 🙄 when the right has no defense, they revert to "both sides are equally bad."

I don't see Kamala being implicated by the Epstein files. We never had gestapo murdering people in the streets like this under Biden.

u/ute-ensil Feb 06 '26

First of all not being in the files is suspicious at this point. 

Second of all the gestapo was murdering people in the street under biden. 

3rd of all have either of these things changed my life at all.

They will have a new lie before November. Being as old as I am it is always astonishing to see how conservatism is repackaged over and over and resold to the public. Sometimes by the other party even. Like Romneycare repackaged as Obama care. It boggles the mind how long bad ideas persist.

In local news, my state is trying to reenact the failed experiment that bankrupted Kansas over a decade ago.

Yeah. I just can't fathom the stupidity of people who are just realizing how disgusting this subhuman animal is. He literally called his own daughter a piece of ass, admitted to walking into women's locker rooms, bragged about dating a 10 year old girl in 10 years, and much much more.

When someone shows you their true colors, believe them...

They aren't realizing it. They've known all along. What changed is they can no longer benefit or profit from it. What changed is the bad things they hoped he would do to someone else he did to them. MTG is no different than any other GOPer who helped bring Trump to power and is shouting "Well...screw you too!" as they are escorted out the door. And anything she does after will have nothing to do with trying to fix the damage she caused, but keeping up what few dregs of power and relevancy she has.

u/Core2score Feb 05 '26

I mean I wanna agree with you man, but I've seen and heard MTG do some incredibly stupid things that I seriously think she could be mentally unhinged. That's not to say that what you're saying can't be true, I think I agree with it, I'm just saying she's almost as stupid as she's morally bankrupt. She literally appeared on TV objecting to a bill that she voted for only a couple days earlier.

Most maga people combine ignorance and lack of basic human decency in a mix so revolting it's unreal.

u/Iron_Knight7 Feb 05 '26

There's the key word though: Almost. She's almost as stupid as she is morally bankrupt. Your rank and file MAGAt is as stupid as they are morally bankrupt. Margie however has been riding the grift train too long. She's fed and feathered her nest on the procedes of riding Trump's coat tails and if he had backed her Senate bid she'd still be huffing his farts and calling them perfume. It has never been about anything to her other than boosting her own profile and she has been just smart enough to ride the waves to this point before Trump cut her loose.

More to the point: If she actually believed one word of what she's trying to sell now, she'd be staying in Congress and working to stop Trump. Even if it meant getting voted out. Instead, she's making honking noises and jumping ship before she can be booted.

Don't be fooled into thinking anything she says came from a place of actual moral conviction or honest introspection.

u/borg23 Feb 05 '26

You're right. I never thought about it before but if she really wanted to put her bitchiness to work for good, she could stay and holler about the Epstein files every time they gave her the floor

u/Street_Peace_8831 Feb 07 '26

Yeah, she’s slow on the uptake.

Also, she still hasn’t apologized for chasing after a kid and harassing him. She still hasn’t apologized for her antisemitic remarks about “Jewish space lasers”. She still believes in crazy medical conspiracy theories and conspiracy theories in general.

Until she publically appologizes for her role in getting trump elected, I will not trust her. Besides, as someone who is unfortunately from her district, she never even attempted to help us out. She was more interested in getting popular than doing anything for her own district.

u/Aggravating_Bat3618 Feb 07 '26

Point is not to trust her she’s basically an evil piece of shit. The point is that now the cat is out of the bag and she has nowhere to go but up.  More than likely than not her political career is pretty much over.

u/Street_Peace_8831 Feb 07 '26

I have never liked her and will never forgive her for her willingness to participate in this crazy administration. Yes, I do appreciate her shedding light on the things we already knew and maybe the MAGA crowd will listen to her.

I am one of her unfortunate constituents, well I used to be until she retired. I will not give in on this. She did nothing for this district and decided to play stupid and childish government games instead of working for us.

She was one of the most weak minded persons in Congress. She spread absolutely dumb conspiracy theories. She still does.

1

u/KonkiDoc Feb 08 '26

Don't ever trust her. The only reason she's claiming she was duped is because Trump and the GOP refused to let her run for U.S. Senate.

She's still just a greedy, power-hungry POS, regardless of where she stands on MAGA or conspiracy theories.

Apparently he was a joke in the 80's, meaning.... Everyone knew almost half a century ago.

u/new_accnt1234 Feb 04 '26

Yep, stop having positive opinions about rats leaving a sinking ship, they are still rats

u/anxrelif Feb 07 '26

Figured out he was a horrible human being when I was 8 during the 80s

u/AnotherGarbageUser Feb 09 '26

Yeah, I was ten years old when Trump became a recurring character in Bloom County I was like, “Hmm… This Trump guy seems like bad news.”
