So Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to be Trump's VP running mate

This would make Sarah Palin look like the greatest VP pick in American history.

Of course, this sounds like pure insanity to us. But given the number of insane Republicans now in congress, who's to say this couldn't come about? And virtually all of us believe they'd lose in a landslide. But who ever though MTG and her like would own the Speaker of the House? And who's to say Republicans aren't in a position to steal the presidency?

"May you live in interesting times" is a traditional Chinese curse. Seems that it doesn't get more interesting or batshit insane than the time we're now living in.

MTG couldn't get elected dog catcher in most of Georgia, she holds about the only seat she could win in that whole state. She'd cost Trump every swing state. Biden-Harris would absolutely trounce Trump-MTG. I hope it happens.

(to the extent they exist) among R's. Especially suburban women. He may like her foul-mouth stunts when she attacks Dems, but when she garners too much attention he'd drop her cold.

She is at least 20 years too old to be 'romanticly' involved with him.

He knows that and he would never put himself in that position. Plus, she just isn’t his type.

It’s possible and it shows how fucked up our country is today.

The insanity goes back to the Reagan Administration (and probably farther back than that). But, Reagan was an amiable imbecile, so people tended not to notice how those around him were trying to fuck America.

He will crush DeathSentence like a grape IMHO. The polls are already churning towards the monster Trump and away from the shithole Governor.

Fuckerberg letting Trump back on FB and Insta will turbocharge his grifting as well, he will be loaded with MAGAt fools cash.

Biden is the only one who can stop Trump.

They can legislate nothing. But they can stop any sane and needed legislation. And they can do damage that could take many years to repair.
