I can’t imagine anything less binding than a pledge of loyalty within the GOP. Its not like they have a shred of history of being honorable, truthful or keeping their word.

I opened up the link to see if they were Republicans, you know, the pro-life party.  To my relief they were. I knew we count on them to do the right thing.

 

Absolutely we need to criminalize the administration of a vaccine which has proven to have saved millions of lives here in the US alone.  

 

Then I had to double check to see if they truly were members of the party of fiscal responsibility.  I mean who could possibly be in favor of a vaccine that has kept tens of millions of Americans out the hospital? 

 

We need to go back to the days before the vaccines were rolled out when mortuaries were filled to the brim and bodies stored in freezer trucks and field hospitals were being setup to facilitate the overflow from our hospitals.  Because scientists are all liars who developed the virus so they could make money on the vaccine.  Way easier grift than an insurance agent.  Those guys, in between rounds of golf, work hard

She also believes Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Billie Eilis and on and on are Satanists.

These are the same people who told us Marge wasn't the future of the Republicans.

I for one would be ok with all the red states taking off on their own.  I'd like to keep all my tax dollars local and benefitting those who deserve it.  

 

And Marge the only peoople talking to you are fellow nut jobs.  it's not representative of anything else.

So does anyone remember 2016?  The GOP Presidential Debate, when there were still loads of candidates? The debate was on Fox and Megyn Kelly and Brett Baier were the moderators. Donald Trump had gained the lead and everyone was gunning for him. Rupert Murdoch did not want Trump and Fox attempted to flush him out with a loyalty oath. When each candidate was asked point blank if they would support the eventual Republican nominee, Donald Trump was the only one who said no. He didn't know who that person was or what the circumstances might be. Why should he?

 

It's one of the few times I agreed with Trump. And instead of flushing out Trump as carpetbagging Republican, Fox only solidified his reputation as a self-contained s#!t-disturber. His tribe loved it. Trump made everyone bend towards him, then launched his own loyalty rewards program.

Geez, I wonder if this is colored by Marjorie going through her own divorce. 

 

Turns our her husband filed for divorce 10 years ago when he found out Marge was having affairs with two guys at her Crossfit gym, but they reconciled for the kids. 

 

I don't know what she'd do to the size of the federal government , but everything about her inspires shrinkage.

MTG should be expelled from Congress for that comment IMO.  
 

On a different note.  I would love to see politicians from both sides advocate for a more decentralized Government from DC.   Not all of these Gov departments need to be located in DC given our technological advances.   Get more of the Government agencies out to a wider swath of the people.  Break up the DC stranglehold on the political structure.

lol...saw this in a response to MTG.   most accurate scale i've seen so far.
