The Indefensible
There is an episode of “Night Court” where the characters believe that one of their colleagues had died. The hold an impromptu memorial service for him and all of them try really hard to say something nice about him. One by one they all get up and one by one they all fail to produce anything. Luckily for him, they only thought he was dead. He was in the back soaking all of this.
One wonders whether that will be Majorie Taylor Greene someday. In her latest statements I have to wonder if her goal is to sit in back of that court room and watch her colleagues to fail to come up with anything. Apparently, she questioned why anyone would want to join the military. According to her they are just throwing their life away.
It’s a remarkable turn of events that somehow echoes the former president. So, are her comments an extraordinary example of someone trying to curry favor the leader of the abyss. Lemmings will follow each other off the cliff. Salmon will swim upstream only to die in the end. Republicans will echo the words of a sadist until they cease to be what they once were.
It doesn’t take much to remember a time when conservatives were the ones that loved the military. They would spend on them with reckless abandon. They would heap love on them with every opportunity and would accuse the other side of a failure to love them. Whether their love was true or not, they certainly wanted you to believe it was.
In its place is some kind of cultural nihilism. Nothing is sacred. Nothing outside of self is paramount. There is no high honor. We instead focus on invisible sex traffickers while we ignore the sex traffickers sitting right next to them in Congress. These are all empty pursuits in the name of owning the liberals and maintaining power.
Keith Olbermann used to have his “worst person in the world” segment on his old MSNBC show. Even then it seemed that the moniker was temporary. Someone else would hold that honor the next day. I’m not sure anyone can at this point. MTG is stealing good oxygen from the rest of us. It’s high time that she went away never to be heard from again.
Nick, MAGAt Empty Greene is forgettable. She is one of many Qcumber conservatives in Congress who caused Louie Gohmert to flee. Can she be credited for “doing good” for that? Dunno. But.
Just when we think any who were irrelevant that should remain irrelevant are forgotten like $carah Palin they refuse to stay gone so we can miss them. Then there’s cable news where the Outlaw Jersey Whale now bloviates. Heck. Even Karl Rove is still tossed a random mic. Seems as if “15 minutes of fame” is some endless Groundhog’s Day endless loop. Or “they’re back’ from the horror films.
1She also admires some of the worst people in the history of the world like Vladamir Poutine, Ziti Amin, Benito Mousseolini, Pol Pot Pie, Augusto Pinocolada, and Ghenghis Con Queso.
2Thought this article by Steve Benen (of the Rachel Maddow blog) says a lot about the qgop and what’s coming. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough repugnanticans that even recognize that their party has been taken over by the likes of MTG because they’re part of the cult.
