1. She's one dumb mofo, for sure.

[geardaddy]

2. Indeed.

[Midnight Writer]

3. What is MTG's solution?

Does she want Congress to make a law to force companies to produce more formula?

Maybe jail the Board of Directors of these companies and replace them with Government appointees?

Nationalize the baby formula industry?

[geardaddy]

4. She has no solution

She never does.

[Midnight Writer]

5. The GOP is the Party of Stunts. It is all they have.

[geardaddy]

7. Exactly!

[CurtEastPoint]

14. Let's make a rhyme: They are also the party of ......

[geardaddy]

32. LOL

I see where you're going with this.

[The Wizard]

20. Exhibitionists and performance artists.

All second hand.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Someone(s) are feeding

her and Boebert this shit to regurgitate. Neither has the intelligence to even write at a third grade level............not unlike most of their Republican colleagues........monkey see, monkey do..........

[geardaddy]

36. Totally

She's not smart enough to actually know what's going on.

[SergeStorms]

8. WRONG!!!

Cutting taxes for the wealthy, and building a wall solves everything. Haven't you heard?

Ask any MAGAt. They'll tell you.

[geardaddy]

9. Oh, right.

I forgot about their catch-all solutions.

[SergeStorms]

11. They'll tell you....

and won't stop telling you.

[geardaddy]

12. ...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. Drill baby drill for more baby formula!

Also, stop “teh illegals” from taking our baby formula!

[SergeStorms]

30. They'll find a way...

to blame it on brown people somehow. Cretins.

[SergeStorms]

10. My daughter used a breast pump....

and refrigerated her milk for both of her babies. None of that manufactured bullshit for my grandchildren.
I guess republican women don't like to be treated like life-support systems for their children. Find a lactating Nanny then.
Freaking posers.

16. Babies used to die all the time for various reasons back in the day

[Mariana]

27. I've read through a lot of the old death records in my area.

They used to call it "inanition" when babies died of starvation, back in the day. It wasn't uncommon.

21. Some women can't breast feed

for many reasons and formula is necessary for them.

[MissB]

22. There are so many reasons why women choose to use formula

Be careful - your privilege may be showing.

Why use formula? Some women need to return to work almost immediately. Not every employer provides enough time and space for a breastfeeding woman to pump. Not every woman has enough supply. Not every woman *wants* to breastfeed, and that's okay too.

I am lucky. I had a very friendly employer that had a room set up that I could use in peace. I was working a union job, so I had two breaks and a lunch hour. I was also doing a job that required me to go in the field frequently. There were quite a few times when I had to hook up the pump while driving down the road at 55+ mph so I could get back to the office in time to grab my kid(s) before daycare closed. It would've been easier to use formula for sure. I was just lucky that I could breastfeed my kids as long as I did. I was lucky that my daycare was in my building at work. (Where was my dh? His job required him to do a lot of traveling in our kids' early years; he worked two blocks from my building.)

But seriously, I was (and still am) in a profession that is really pretty much an office job. I don't work in a warehouse, or in food service. Folks with those sorts of jobs may not be able to easily breastfeed. They may actually need their jobs to keep a roof over the heads of their kids, or perhaps to pay for daycare.

23. When my brother was born, he got Carnation. nt

[Grins]

24. STOP!!!!

The shut-down of the Abbott Nutrition plant in Sturgis, Mich. is a mega-problem because it was the major supplier of a specialty formula for infants with rare medical conditions. Those are the infants at great risk. Deadly risk! THAT’S the problem. It is a crap-ton more than an “inconvenience.”

You just can’t switch to a different brand or cobble together your own alternative.

[Delmette2.0]

31. Abbott Nutrition could have fixed the plant in Michigan.

Instead they bought back their own stock.

[smirkymonkey]

34. +1000

[IronLionZion]

13. Have lots more babies so the kids can work in the formula factories

we need their tiny little hands to fix the machines

[Blue Owl]

15. Hey MTG, make yourself useful and go check on China...

to see if they have a permit for that Hurricane Gun your boy Donny was ranting on about

[MoonchildCA]

17. Don't worry, moms and dads, while you're frantically searching for formula,

Marjorie is making snarky-ass comments on Twitter instead of doing her job.

[allegorical oracle]

18. MTG brims with empathy. Once a skank always a skank. n/t

[ymetca]

19. There was another post

about how the largest manufacturer of baby formula had to shut down one of their factories because of unsanitary conditions, causing tainted formula (bacteria), resulting in infant sickness and mortality.

So.. less regulation then? That would be her solution, right?

35. She's a troll.

I'd love it if people in her district (very red) were asked what kind of money she had brought back home.
