God. She’s dumber than I thought. And I’m not being rude or flippant. The woman actually is dumber than I thought. And it was a low bar to begin with, so I am gobsmacked at her literal lack of procedural knowledge. Look, it’s one thing when people can’t do critical thinking, or original thinking, or they just can’t think for themselves at all— and yes, that drives me crazy!—BUT, HELLO, YALL!! This ain’t that!! This is MTG demonstrating IRT that she has no fucking idea what she’s doing, procedurally speaking! It’s the easy part! You just have to learn the rules. She doesn’t know the rules.
It is similar to Trump being asked if he’s going to continue with no due process, habeas corpus, or just generally ignoring the US Constitution. And Trump saying—and this may not be verbatim, but I guarantee you it capture the spirit, if not the letter:—“Uh, well, uh, idk? I will have to ask my lawyers about that.”
NOOOO!!!! We do not consult our lawyers w re to what the fucking US Constitution actually fucking says in OMG yup! fucking black and white. & says so fucking clearly, to the extent that someone such as I—who has no law degree but does have a reasonably well-oiled brain—can understand it perfectly! Simply bc my reading comprehension is good. Not great. Just good. Let’s be generous and say, my reading comprehension is at a fifth grade level. (Here’s a baseline: I got my BA from UNC-CH Journalism School in 1984; at that time, the reading comprehension of the US newspaper-reading public was at a third grade level.)
So Donny Two Dolls—or the meme behind the resolute desk— is as dumb as MTG. Or vice versa. These people are, across the board, brutally cruel and brutally stupid. And I’m not talking about Republicans or Democrats or Independents. It is only MAGA who is this consistently stupid. And I have friends who are Republicans. I have friends who voted for him, bc they were promised outright something for which they did not vote. They also didn’t vote for MTG. So the stupidity of these ppl appears invasive and requisite. But doesn’t mean the stupidity of its voters is: They were strategically told ubiquitous lies FOR DECADES.

You have identified a critical problem:
brutally cruel + brutally stupid = maga
C + S = MAGA
MAGA (maggots) keeps the US from moving forward (time sensitive deterioration).
The US has a critical problem to solve. Fast.
well said and so true
