    One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

          They did find the One Ring card from their new LOTR set recently. Some shop is paying $2 million euros for it. I desperately hope someone throws it into a volcano a la Mount Doom.

          It sure would be nice if any MTG mention is promptly spammed by Magic the Gathering content and buried. I don’t even play MTG and I’d prefer to have my feed taken over by it! Fuck yeah, nerds–get your game on!

          Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.

    “I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Sounds like the Freedom Caucus is against freedom of speech!

      They’re claiming it’s because of what she said to Boebert, but it’s probably because of how she’s buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.

        a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

          Now we get to play a game.

          Will the response be:

          • The left thinks everything they disagree with is fascism

          • The left are the real fascists for suppressing dissent/banning online trolls

          • No reply ever

          I’ve got my money on #1, but they’re all strong contenders.

            It’s always #3 when it comes down to it. Their ideology only makes sense in a bubble divorced from reality. Poke the bubble, reality starts seeping in, and the ensuing cognitive dissonance causes such a brain cramp that it’s easier for them to ignore reality than accept it and adjust accordingly.

          What doesn’t make sense to me is why Republicans are called Fascist. You say that it involves a “centralized autocratic government”, but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement.

          “Severe economic and social regimentation” that doesn’t make sense either considering the liberal states are having a mass exodus in favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If “Fascists” are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states?

          “Forcible suppression of opposition” Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol.

          Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦‍♂️

          PS: Trump sucks

              It’s a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US’s peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It’s not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live.

      Probably neither:

      “I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Harris told Politico, referring to Greene’s profane exchange with Boebert.

      “I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should.”

        The sad thing is it was because she called Bobert a little bitch and supported Kevin McCarthy. Not because of wanting to impeach the president over nothing or jewish space lasers or whatever batshit crazy things come out of her mouth.

      You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don’t ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren’t, it’s just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.

      This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don’t particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960’s American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.

      But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it’s ruining the bake sale! She certainly won’t be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.

        I’m pretty sure all of them have put political campaign money towards those “Let’s go Brandon” or less masked messages. It’s not about the swearing, it’s about the disloyalty. MTG doesn’t have the “rank” to throw Boebert under the bus. If Trump did it they wouldn’t have batted an eye.

        Basically, from what I’ve gathered, it could signal one of two things: 1.) MGT has mainlined her rhetoric so much that the truly far right think she’s a “centrist,” following McCarthy, etc. The Freedom Caucus doesn’t like McCarthy and she’s been whipping for him recently. 2.) The Freedom Caucus has dirt on her they plan to release ruining her re-election chances and thus are distancing themselves preemptively. This would be punishment for publicly feuding with Beobert.
