Marjorie Taylor Greene demands America gets a divorce.

[surfered]

An outraged Greene (R-GA) on Monday urged a national split from Democratic states whose lawmakers, and voters, have expressed criticism of President-elect Donald Trump.

One minor problem Ms Greene fails to understand is that the blue states financially support the red states. Absent some sort of alimony, they’ll be impoverished and without Social Security or Medicare.

Not sure she’s thought this through.

[mnmoderatedem]

1. "not sure she's thought this through"

has she ever thought anything through?

[jimfields33]

17. There's only 18 blue states. Which has all the revenue and success.

I guess the other 32 states will just have to suffer under her deluded mind.

[Katcat]

33. Your math is wrong

18+38=56

[jimfields33]

36. Thank you! I fixed and appreciate it.

[Oopsie Daisy]

52. Plus Guam, PR and DC.

[dchill]

35. Pretty sure that's a capability she just doesn't have.

[NEOH]

64. Can she even think??? nt

[BOSSHOG]

2. Allow me to posit that the Honorable Marge would suggest

That your post is an in-dick-table offense.

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Just because she had adulterous tantric sex with multiple people leading to divorce...

[allegorical oracle]

61. ...she has divorce on the brain? Naw. That would require a brain.

[peregrinus]

3. She's the Capitol Hill bomber

I’m convinced.

[obamanut2012]

57. Oh, I am too

[keep_left]

4. This isn't the first time MTG has said this.

She also loves eliminationist rhetoric, like "we need a second Civil War". She's a real piece of work...and a real piece of shit!

[regnaD kciN]

14. The thing is, it's far better to get a divorce...

...than to have to live the rest of your life in the dungeon as your spouse's prisoner. Which is what I'm pretty sure TSF wants.

[nini]

5. Please proceed

Works for me.

[Intractable]

7. The grand divorce may be inevitable.

Very complicate to pull off, but we may be left with no choice.

A house divided cannot stand. -- Lincoln

Only a fool fights in a burning house. -- Kang, Star Trek, The Day of the Dove

We're on fire. -- Me

The time has come, the wise one said, when we must all decide.
We cannot carry on this way, and so we must divide.
The road before us goes both way, so which one do you choose.
But all will not go well if you refuse. -- The Alan Parsons Project, Upper Me

[yardwork]

12. There's no geographical dividing line.

Many states aren't really red or blue, they're a mixed bag. There's no state or region of the country where there's unanimous agreement that they're all Republican or all Democratic.

The Democrats in Alabama are just as important as the ones in Massachusetts. There are just fewer of them. Likewise, Republicans in Massachusetts are just as bad as the ones in Alabama; they're just outnumbered.

[Intractable]

15. I'm fond of saying that the Mason-Dixon line now runs through all cities, towns, even houses.

Like everyone else, I have no idea how this will work out. I just know a lot of people are going to suffer until we discover the end game.

[Hekate]

32. You & others need to acquaint yourselves with what happened when India split with Pakistan

It was terrible. Muslim Indians were driven from places they had lived for centuries, neighbor murdered neighbor, people lost everything in the move.

I am against secession or any other split-up of the USA. It’s a fantasy, and trying to make it reality would lead to the bloodbath Steve Bannon lusts for.

[Intractable]

43. Seems to me the Indians and Pakistanis are still at each others throats whenever they get the chance.

You know, religion? It's the great unifier. You got Hindus and Muslims.

So, can't live with them, can't live without them?

Of course, it would be for the best if the country stays unified. What if the bloodbath occurs anyway?

[Hekate]

47. They lived together on the Indian subcontinent for centuries, not always well, but even so

As I said, you should acquaint yourself with even a little of the history of the separation in the 20th century. You can take it from there.

Religion? What are we to do with Evangelicals and White Christian nationalists? Trad Catholics?

The people who really crave to have the US come apart are: Putin, White Christian Nationalists, Steve Bannon (a Leninist) , Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy (egomaniacs) . Bannon and his cohort want to burn the country down, burn down the federal government, and dance in the rubble.

You are in bad company.

[Intractable]

49. Stop telling me what I should do. It is quite rude.

I didn't say I wanted it to come apart. I suggested it may be inevitable.

> You are in bad company.

Your condescension notwithstanding, I am in your company. But now, no more.

[TheKentuckian]

24. Right. I don't think this works in about any permutation

and seems like a receipe for at least two civil wars rather than just one.

Neither the tens of millions of Republicans in California nor the tens of millions of Democrats in Texas are too likely to go quietly into the night.

We also have way too many nukes, we have a responsibility to humanity to defeat the nutjobs in some fashion that doesn't increase chaos to the point that some portion of that arsenal gets out of pocket.

[Katcat]

34. I'd move to a blue state

This one is a shithole

[Hekate]

48. Excellent

[usedtobedemgurl]

60. I would very much like to not be a part of their hate.

I have suggested, here, we may end up at that crossroads. Here is why I think it will never work. I believe the bloodlust in their hearts is so much they will come into the new territory and try to slaughter us all. It would be too much for them to resist. I know we would have military and guns, but it would still be nasty.

[J_William_Ryan]

6. "Marjorie Taylor Greene demands America gets a divorce."

Conservatives hate America.

They want to see it destroyed.

[Tribetime]

8. OMG..

The Blue states are paying for the red states government aid

[0rganism]

9. Perhaps worth considering if we have a way to guarantee those red states won't invade, loot & pillage the blue states

Also, there's the question of tippy purple places like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

And the matter of a bunch of federal resources which would need to be redistributed.

All of which leads me to believe neither she nor those people she's talking to have really thought this through, if they're even capable of thinking at all.

[Intractable]

16. There's a silly movie called "Bushwick" that deals with this.

I saw it on Amazon years ago. It's currently only on Apple TV.

Essentially, Kentucky invades New York City because they think they can conquer New York because its citizens have very few guns.

Well, they were wrong. Apparently everyone in NY (including the Rabbis) are packing.

As silly as it is, they got the great Dave Bautista to star in it.

[Lilithschyld]

10. Bye.

[Talitha]

11. Blow it out your ass, Marjo.

I wish she'd superglue her lips together.

[regnaD kciN]

13. I'm fine with that...!

We up here in Washington would be delighted to join with our fellows in Oregon to form the Republic of Cascadia. The first action of which should be to create a mutual support treaty with the California Republic.

[Abolishinist]

20. As a Californian, I would be happy

to join you!

[sakabatou]

23. Not to be confused with the New California Republic

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

46. We are trying to avoid the nuclear war that set the context for the NCR. N/t

[sakabatou]

62. I know.

[MrWowWow]

18. Is MTG (GEICO Cavewoman) EVEN Capable of Cognitive Thought?

Last edited Tue Nov 19, 2024, 12:20 AM - Edit history (1)

Or is she just a reichwing meat puppet?

[Abolishinist]

19. Sounds good to me, she knows what happens when we are "irretrievably broken".

Greene married Perry Greene in 1995 while in college. They have three children. Perry Greene announced in September 2022 that he was filing for divorce and that their marriage was "irretrievably broken". On December 22, 2022, the divorce was finalized.

Her now ex-husband pulled the trigger on the marriage after media reports revealed that the neophyte politician had repeatedly cheated with other men, including polyamorous tantric sex guru Craig Ivey and the manager of the local gym she frequented.

[brush]

21. And don't forget all the US Government property in those red states...courthouses...

post offices, military bases etc that they don't just get to keep for free.

Just cause she just got divorced recently (her infidelity), it's on this silly woman's mind. I wouldn't mind never hearing from her again though.

[sakabatou]

22. Didn't she take an oath to protect and preserve the country?

[Abolishinist]

27. A bit of wiggle room, the oath was in plain English.

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. Madge is not known for keeping her obligations.

She's made a career of violating her various "oaths". It's who she is. She hasn't been long in Trump's inner circle because she hasn't been killing pets or raping kids. If you want to be the diamond in Donny's eye, you've got to compete with his anti-social legacy. The worse you are, the higher you rate with Donny.

So what will happen if Gaetz and Noem and the rapist from Fox (Hegseth?) all somehow get legitimately rejected? What's Trump's plan "B"? And who will be the "hard act to follow" the first reject? Will Trump go legit with other picks? And if so, who on earth will accept his nomination?

[Efilroft Sul]

25. Why? Did America have an affair with its gym coach?

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. Madge is Putin's wet dream. n/t

[struggle4progress]

30. She sometimes looks like the lights are on, but there's never anybody home

[Trust_Reality]

31. Breaking up the US is one of Putin's goals.

She sure looks like one of Putin's many operatives in the US.

[cstanleytech]

37. Imagine the cost increases as well to the red states for goods and food that use the California ports.

[kevinore]

39. I don't care...

...let them go their own way. Just keep the nukes and other WMDs away from them.

[Cha]

40. The Greene Thing Is a GD Stupid MF.. Put her charge

of the DIVORSE, Ya Sick Fuck.

"Criticize" the MF".. Yeah Fuck you too, Assface!

[ribrepin]

41. Where do I sign?

[duncang]

42. Also there aren't any pure red or blue states.

Even Texas was closer in 2020 than most people think. This time there was back sliding though. 42% voted for VP Harris. What happens to them/me? Will there be purity checks?

[tornado34jh]

44. You want to go down that route MTG, you bastard?

All right then, pull all funding for red states, pull the military out of those states, revoke aid to these states including Social Security and Medicare, and see how they fare. Oh by the way, if a major disaster like a tornado, hurricane, or whatever comes, they are on their own. To give examples of how ungrateful they are, when Texas had that big freeze in 2021, guess who was president? That's right, Biden was! When Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Hurricane Helene hit earlier this year, both really deadly hurricanes, who was president? Yep Biden. How about the deadly tornado in December 2021 that hit Kentucky? I mean, I could list several more. But last I checked, did Biden/Harris step up in the face in these disasters? I'm pretty sure they did. A friend of mine in California, a state who they much malign, even went on a two-week trip to North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. This really shows how ungrateful they are. If it were me, I would have said, "All right, you are on your own, don't come crying to us when things get bad you ungrateful fools."

[roamer65]

45. That means we would have a hard border...

to stop southern red state MAGAts from northward climate migration.

👍👍

[RJ_MacReady]

50. honestly

I just have no common identity with ruby red states. I no longer like my rights and freedoms being subject to the whims of low population states eith outsized say.

[SKKY]

51. So, call her bluff. Let constituents of each "Red State"...

...decide. She'll be made a fool of.

[Afrocat]

53. Oh yes, yes please

Somebody doesn't read or understand how numbers work.

[Oopsie Daisy]

54. Sounds good to me, Marge!

Boiled down to its essence, we have Makers and Takers. Who will support the "taker" Red States? Will they have their own currency, postage, infrastructure, military?

[The Madcap]

55. I have an idea.

The ultimate fight club. Let all these lunatics gather in the Arizona desert with their choice of weapon and have a battle royale. Last magat standing wins a new truck.

Would take care of the crazies and would be a lasting memorial to our idiocy as a nation.

I'm sure MTG would participate. Hunger Games 2025.

[GoCubsGo]

56. Looks like somebody isn't getting enough attention.

Either that, or that clown trying to distract us from something else... Like the fact that her own Dear Leader and his minions want to loot those programs, and line their own pockets with our money. Social Security and Medicare are the last big chunks of money the GOP hasn't been able to steal from us, and they've been salivating over it for decades.

[Swede]

58. She's no brain scientist.

nt

[Jit423]

59. She wants us to do what the Red State Governors due to Blue state cities.

Shall we divey of the tax revenues also?

[Initech]

63. I'd rather just divorce her from Congress. Nothing of value would be lost there.
