Oh Y’all, I Checked This Out Because It’s … Well, Not Right In Any Way Whatoever
Okay, so here’s the deal. Trump attorney Lin Wood is a big rolling ball of wackadoodle. Sometimes you gotta wonder which comes first – being weird or being a Trump attorney. Somehow, I think one causes the other no matter which end you begin.
So, Lin Wood made an announcement. He said that he’s damn near certain that Majorie Taylor Greene is a communist. A communist. Of all the things I suspect that Majorie Taylor Greene is, that wasn’t on the list. Not even at the bottom. Communist. Nope. Not there.
“In my opinion, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a communist,” Wood said in Friday remarks.
Okay, so I know that’s just in his opinion, so it really doesn’t bother me all that much. I do, however, wonder if Wood, who is an attorney which ups the odds of him having read a book, know what communist means. Personally, I believe he thinks it’s just general insult, like dumb, ugly, obnoxious, Trump lawyer, putrid, sloppy, well, you get what I mean.
In Republicanism, ugly is to socialism what very ugly is to communism.
Okay, so I am dancing all around this so let’s get to the meat of this: why does Wood think Greene is a communist? In his own words …
Marjorie Taylor Greene is running around saying ‘impeach Biden,’ that says that Biden won—he didn’t,” the attorney said. “And you would never impeach him with a communist Congress. It’s a waste of time.”
So, a call for impeachments means that you must believe that Biden is an actual president. Calling Biden a president – that’s communism. Shame all over her. I guess she just crossed the Republican line.
Y’all, you might want to read the whole article because the two of them are in a word slapping contest on Twitter.
Screw that. Somebody please tell them that Twitter is the tool of communists. They should do as our forefathers did – I call for a duel.
It’s hard to believe that this is actual American politics in the 21st Century. A couple of hundred years from now, when students are looking around for Master’s theses to write, they are going to look at the surviving records of this time, and not believe a word of them. It all has to be satire, doesn’t it?
1I’m available to hold their coats while they go at. I might even sell popcorn on the side.
2Yesterday at a Trump rally, Trump himself said he never conceded the presidency to Biden. Except he did.
Like the book/movie Love Story, being communist means never having to say you’re sorry?
3I think the more what used to be called mainstream repugnantcans publicly say they believe the big lie, the further down the rabbit hole the far-right conspiracy screamers have to go just to stand out.
4Attacking each other for not being loyal enough to f**king trump makes perfect sense from that perspective.
Shades of Etnst Rohm.
Republicans use the words “liberal”, “socialist” and “communist” as things they don’t like – ignoring their dictionary meanings. The sad thing is that it works.
It’s like the word “fnord” in the Illuminati trilogy.
5Ernst. Not Entst.
6Brown shirt.
Never had anything against long knives.
It was all a big misunderstanding.
There just aren’t words to describe how insane the repugnantican party has become. Two of the most obnoxious characters calling each other names is actually pretty funny. If there’s a dual, hope it includes several of them besides these 2. Maybe giuliani can join in the fun.
7Decades ago a coworker took to calling me a communist, frequently, and wasn’t joking around. I asked him to define the term. “A communist is somebody that don’t believe in what’s right.”
So in other words, I suggested, a communist is someone you don’t agree with.
Damn right, he replied.
Crazy then, still crazy now.
8I’m the last person anyone would consult for fashion advice. But even beyond the politics of the whole MAGAt idea, it just looks profoundly weird to see guys wearing a suit and tie … and a red gimme cap. Like dumping ketchup on top of a steak(*), it’s shockingly out of place. Surely some enterprising soul should have come up with a homburg, fedora, bowler, or hell, a top hat that advertises the wearer’s lunacy?
(*) Yeah, I know that is the former guy’s go-to lunch. Which means the whole red cap is beyond tasteless.
9Of course a “Communist Congress” would impeach Biden. If they were Communists, they would have a Communist speaker. They would impeach moderate Capitalist Joe and slightly left of center Capitalist Kamala and we would have a Communist prez. Wood didn’t think this through.
10I guess they’ve taken to devouring their own. Michael Flynn has been accused of being a Satan worshipper.

And, a bit off topic, but Allen West has Covid and was hospitalized. He’s been taking hydroxychloroquine and horse wormer, but he and his wife also received the monoclonal antibodies. She was vaccinated. He was not.

11@Rick, #3 Trump didn’t have to concede to Biden; he still lost. A concession speech is a polite formality, but not necessary. Of course, Trump wouldn’t know polite from a hole in the ground.
12Does this mean they’re starting to eat their own?
13Is it too late to tell them to step away from the Kool Aid?
14Surprised that he’s attacking her, since they share so many characteristics.
Starting with both being bat guano crazy.
15thatotherjean, I have serious doubts that democracy will be around in 200 years. The odds I’ve been seeing say the a**holes will take over in 2022, and it’s going to be downhill from there.
JJ remains my best hope, but it’s like sand in a sieve right now…
16Y’all need to remember that the Republicans don’t have a clue what socialism or communism is, they just use those words for something they do’t like, like a two year old uses “NO” for damn near anything, it doesn’t matter what it is.
17I apologize to all of the two year olds out there for comparing them to Republicans…
Steve, full disclosure I’m starting this after the Sox scored #9 in the 4th.
Breaking the momentum against my Astros and all that.
Your duel mention reminded me of a great Mark Twain story I’m purty certain I’ve brought up in here.
The Recent Great French Duel. Purty certain some other patron reminded me of the name.
Twain’s suggestion of weapons; axes, Gatling guns, or double barreled shotguns definitely came to mind.
The story has aspects that could suggest direct parallels to our situation, today, politically.
Absurdity.
Not regarding the weapons mind you.
Gatling guns might be kinda tough to come by, but I’m fairly certain we could scrounge up a couple Mac-10s.

18Although the idea of Giuliani demonstrating the same grasp of basic rules that’s getting him disbarred by wading into flying lead with axes is purty damn satisfying.
19But that’s just me.
You are having way too much fun with this one! Can I talk about how wicked pissed I am that my cable company wouldn’t allow me to watch MBL channel today, the only one carrying the Red Sox vs TB game?
20The GQP, being silly people, …………………..

22Fun idea!
