Why does AOC, the larger politician, not simply eat MTG?
Can you imagine eating an old boot?
What kind of boot
This is the way
Second of all, I am reasonably confident AoC has more toes than MTG!
…
Wait, wait wait, this is not a foot fetish thing:
https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-feet-three-toes-photo-1784369
… well, ok, maybe it is a foot fetish thing, if you’re into neanderthals who’ve been wearing horrendously fitting shoes/sandals for so long they’ve deformed their feet.
I don’t think it was worth following that link. I’ve now been to Newsweek and X and I feel gross. So here’s the photo, if anyone else is curious. Pretty sure the article said it’s not real, but I was kinda just skimming for an image of weird toes, so I’m not sure.
Oh it is gross in many ways, no argument there, gross feet, gross tabloid / social media bs…
But, this is apparently the state of modern US politics, and I wanted to give an at least semi-credible source, and not have to personally dive in to twitter to find the direct source.
Also, this is, I think, the real photo.
The fake one has MTG with only 3 visible toes on each foot.
Here, hers are splayed badly, and her pinky toes are basically crushed under/behind the sandal and adjacent toe, but you can still make them out.
EDIT: goddamnit.
Yeah, here it is, the fake, based off of the above image, that circulated around twitter:
Ahh, thank you! So the truth is that she has webbed feet, which seems weird enough on its own that we don’t really need the 3 toe rumor.
Not…webbed feet.
Webbed feet is when there is … webbing, skin connecting between your toes, like a swimming flipper, as a duck does, though its usually not that pronounced when it occurs in humans.
Hers have been deformed by her wearing extremely poorly fitting shoes her whole life, and/or possibly just had fucked up toe alignment to some extent, to begin with.
More like foot bondage, but less extreme, and self imposed.
Think of how if your teeth grow in funny, you may need braces to better align them.
Well, this is sorta like that, but where the shoes are functionally the braces, and they’re all fucked up and force the toes into an extreme configuration over time.
EDIT:
Basically, MTG is Cinderella’s evil half or step sisters.
They kept jamming their feet into badly sized and badly formed fancy shoes, and at least in the original version, they actually cut off parts of their feet to try and literally fill Cinderella’s shoes, but the Prince kept noticing the blood, and them walking awkwardly.
MTG has just been jamming her feet into, eh, likely needle point pumps of some kind, for so long, that they’ve smushed her pinky toes under and behind the adjacent toe, and the other toes have splayed out to compensate for the lack of balance that causes.
Why are they still having rallies…
His fragile ego is going through hard times.
Cultists gonna cult.
MAGA keep insisting they’re not fascists, but then keep doing & saying fascist-like shit.
Wait until we get to the “Yeah, we’re fascists…” part and they get rid of any pretenses at all.
I know I deserve ridicule for watching this channel at all, but you should check out the recent Jubilee 1vs20 with Mehdi Hasan.
They are well past being comfortable calling themselves fascists outright. Not the sarcastic ‘you called me one so I’ll call myself too’ but full tilt yes this is what they think.
Tldw: Just skip to 22:00 for blue shirt guy.
I saw clips of this and thought to post it on Lemmy, but I don’t wanna platform jubilee at all. But yeah it’s fucking crazy how fucking normalized straight up fascism is in today’s world.
Right after ICE has been deployed in all major blue cities and any opposition, like any critical journalists, activists and politicians, have been suitable intimidated or disappeared.
What was that event they had when the floor was some giant Nordic rune symbol thing?
You know what they say: if it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck…
It’s surprisingly easy to get into this argument with people as soon as you use the f-word. Thankfully Wikipedia has a definition of fascism, and if that applies to somebody, then they’re a fascist. I’m done with calling a spade a “nationalist authoritarian gardening implement”.
Oh, but wikipedia has been taken over by the woke left! Argument terminated.
They’ve still got Conservapedia… This is the best all the people who think Wikipedia is “woke Marxist indoctrination” could come up with to compete with Wikipedia- and its pathetic inadequacy speaks for itself.
Once this bullshit is over -abd one day it will- van we please criminalize calling politicians to be locked up? And I’m not talking about your average Lemmy calling for Trumo to be locked up because of too many to count crimes he committed, I’m talking about politicians calling for locking up other politicians only because you don’t like them.
If you have a following, first amendment no longer applies to you, you don’t get to say whatever bullshit that springs up in your head.
Germany has a law against Volksverhetzung; I’m pretty sure that would fall under it. Unfortunately they haven’t been very good at enforcing it, esp. on social media. Yet still some 'muricans screech that we’re against ❄️🍑 and therefore fascist - not understanding why and when that law was implemented.
Volksverthetzung is about specific protected classes, which don’t include non-religious ideologies (and l’m not sure if “not american” is a specific enough identity either)
This would make it illegally to call for Trump to be locked up for the legitimate crimes has has and is committing and is obviously unconstitutional
Coming from a country that has similar laws: it’s about inciting hatred or violence.
Phrased as the previous commenter did, literally making it illegal to say lock them up, might not work.
But.
Saying Trump should be locked up for his crimes is not inciting hate or violence, because he has objectively committed crimes and the courts should do their job thankyouverymuch. Saying AOC should be locked up for made-up crimes based on made-up law is a different matter altogether.
But I’m aware that the US legal system has a looong way to go before it can accomodate for such distinctions.
But I’m aware that the US legal system has a looong way to go before it can accomodate for such distinctions.
And we’re moving farther from that goal with every decision handed down by our Supreme Court.
I’m not going to read Marjorie Greene’s entire statement so I might theoretically be missing some context, but what does she say here? “Communists aren’t Americans and need to be locked up.”
That’s just McCarthyism. A bunch of nonsense we should have left behind.
Even if her accusations of communism were accurate, there isn’t anything in the Constitution that says people who identify as Communists cannot be American citizens. On the other hand, birthright citizenship is specifically granted in the 14th Amendment.
I truly, honestly, believe that a congressperson saying that AOC, who was born in NYC, isn’t American, is a violation of their oath of office. Marjorie Greene swore to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution couldn’t be any clearer about AOC’s citizenship. I also think that office holders who violate their oath of office should be removed from their office, and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.
These are the people making abortion illegal and literally burning books.
a violation of their oath of office
I like the idea that the way to punish politicians for irresponsible behavior is to hold them seriously accountable to their Oath of Office. Give the oath some teeth, and enforce it.
How do you do that in a way that can be prevented from being used for political reasons?
That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.
As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…
You can’t.
As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…
Except it didn’t, it infected more people who didn’t vax who leaned primarily Republican
That’s just McCarthyism. A bunch of nonsense we should have left behind.
Let this be your takeaway and feel free to pre-emptively apply it to everything else these people say about AOC. It’ll save you time and nerves.
It’s all quite the opposite, in fact. From the time of the Revolution onward, there were lots of Americans fighting for the working class against the rich. It’s deeply rooted in our history, and America would never have developed the same way without it. The history books written since the Cold War have glossed over much of it, but it’s not something you can completely remove, either.
We celebrate Veterans Day as the start of summer, and Labor Day as the end of summer. However, one of these gets a lot more flag waving and attention going on than the other. People literally died for both of those, but Labor Day is treated as just a day off.
To be fair, labor day has little history. It was picked to take attention away from May Day, the traditional day of labor celebration and activity. May Day tends to be more about action, not just celebration, so the capitalists wanted to pick a different date and new traditions where people just stay home instead of advocating for their best interests.
Yes, and I think that only strengthens the point that this was all shooed away where it wouldn’t be a bother.
You mean Memorial day. Veterans day is Nov 11th
Yes, right. Still works.
I think you got it backwards. Labor (Memorial) Day is a real holiday that gets people out and about. Veteran’s Day is no big deal, almost no one gets off work.
and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.
Elect me to Congress and I will immediately begin physically throwing these people out of sessions.
Greene, and most of the GOP, just say stuff for feelings. Facts don’t matter. That’s it.
They also say it to make headlines and draw attention. Kind of what class clowns did back in grammar school. Some people never grown up (pun intended).
does this imply that most communists are quite large?
I like to think of it as MTG hedging her accusation. “I think AOC has become just a little communist lately”.
I’m glad she left it at “First of all”, because anything more would just allow MTG to spin her conspiracy BS. That’s the Twitter-savvy AOC we love.
Marjorie Taylor Green is white and therefore an illegal immigrant by definition.
“My ancestors came over on the mayflower!”
“Yeah, and what type of visa did they have?”
Damn, now I’d like to see an alternative history narrative where native Americans were sufficiently armed and businesslike to seize the moment and start handing out resident permits to incoming Europeans. Peacefully of course. What would the result be after 200+ years?
Close!
I’ll keep it in mind next time it’s time to buy a game.
edit: wait, or a book?
As far as being a national embarrassment goes, she really gives out Cheeto in chief a run for his money.
shes theres as a lightning rod for the house Republicans, both her and bobo, plus shes there to run interference for being a putins mouthpiece, which is why she has a wierd stance on israel, hurting iran by israel/by extensions gaza weakens putins relationship in the region.
P is for projection
MTG: *trolling*
AOC:
Sounds like AOC is trying to claw back good will after her recent blunder.
Many people on the left are saying that she voted that way to not appear on the same side as MTG, when she could have stood on her on morals as she’s always done, relentlessly. But no, in this instance she’s spineless.
No candidate is perfect, but she continues to bed the best for the left. And this is why we hold her to such a high standard, as much as Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Al Green.
She needs to earn the nonzero trust she lost back, and I don’t think lip service in the form of cyber fights does it for most.
Edit: OP corrected that this screenshot isn’t from 2025, but from 2021. Still, interesting timing to post this given current events.
To clarify, I didn’t post this with any agenda related to AOC’s recent statements. I haven’t paid enough attention to the story to have an opinion. I just happened to be scrolling through old memes earlier today and felt like sharing, because I thought it was funny.
Yeah no worries! It’s a harmless coincidence. I just thought I’d add my side of things given from what I’ve been hearing lately.
Didn’t mean to insinuate you had an agenda either! Apologies if it came across that way.
I linked an article that talks about the story more, if you’re interested.
It’s all good! I had just seen a few other comments mention similar things, so I wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t trying to make any particular point related to AOC’s recent votes. And I’ll take a look at the article, thanks!
Edit: Also, I do generally agree, we should hold our leaders to high standards
Anything to distract from Epstein?
I think this is from like 2021
But it says 2hours ago on the screenshot.
I guess that means the screenshot was taken 2 hours after the original post was made. I found this in my old saved photos from several years ago. Still seemed funny and relevant today
Hey guys I really don’t enjoy this dystopian late stage capitalism…
FUCK OFF YOU COMMUNIST RAT!!
ehm wtf
Perjury Traitor Greed is a toxic fungus.
🎶I’m a little bit country…🎶
