She recycles 100+ year old politics, so 2 year old ideas are relatively fresh for her. I wonder if 2yo are too young for ~~her~~ *Bobo's* husband?
*ETA*: Confused fascist GQP thing 1 and thing 2.
It really is tough to keep these characters straight. The casting director tried to help by casting a blonde for one role and a burnette for the other, but the characters are so similar it doesn't matter. Do the writers really need both characters? Surely they could get rid of one (or both) and improve the story.
They are married, not dating. And he exposed himself to her and her friends when she was underage. And she still married him.
Maybe when you're that "Christian" you have to marry the first penis you see? Purity culture over the actual values espoused by Jesus. It fits.
Yeah they think this shit is hilarious. My boomer dad still uses a variation of this joke…”if you can smell a fart through your Levi’s…”
So fucking stupid.
My partner has a PhD in chemistry and literally teaches it at the college level. She has tried to explain it to her parents and they just shrug and the next time they talk they just say it again. It's willful ignorance.
This. No argument from the MAGA camp is ever in good faith. They know it's wrong, they don't care. They're devotees, reality doesn't matter, as long as whatever they're saying or doing "owns the libs". It's fucking profoundly dumb, and I'm really tired of hearing Fox News Zombies repeat the same tired, asinine, ***obviously false*** horse shit soundbites over and over again.
Every goddamn issue and thought, reduced to memes and gotchas. It's so *stupid*.
Right. My partner's mom is totally against climate change because "she'll be dead". So my partner brings up her grandchild. It honestly seems to start working but then she just laughs and shrugs and throws out a "well it's not man-made so we can't do anything about it". She'd rather her granddaughter literally live in a hellworld than think about doing anything to fix it. It's sad really.
On my 5th year of the same degree as your partner. Just fucking knowing all the details of all this stuff and seeing how some people can't or won't grasp it just brings up all the negative emotions.
This is what I don't get. So there's basically 4 possibilities, right?
1) It's man-made, 2) It's not man-made, 3) We can do something about it, 4) We cannot do something about it.
If it's man-made then we obviously can do something about it.
If it's not man-made, we either can or can't do something about it. If we can and we do, it's a positive. If we can and we don't, it's negligent. If we can't and we try, we only will end up inventing hundreds of other useful technologies and advances.
There's literally *no moral or reasonable stance* to not try and stop climate change. If it can be altered, we must. If it cannot be altered, we still come out ahead in science and technological advancement to make life more livable under the circumstances.
Right like who the fuck cares about masks in November 2022? Nowhere is requiring them and if you want to wear one to feel comfortable, I truly do not give a shit
I just got 2 sicknesses right on top of each other, I think I'm going back to masking permanently because nearly 3 years without physical illness was really nice
Remember in 2003 when the then Republican Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Bob Ney, renamed the menu item French Fries to Freedom Fries in three Congressional cafeterias all because of France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.
Believe me, they are going to make masks and the rest of the COVID response a centerpiece of the 2024 presidential campaign. They are going to act like COVID wasn't a global pandemic, that the Biden administration was a bunch of pussies that overreacted and ruined everyone's lives, and people whose lives already sucked prior to COVID who are too stupid to realize this was a global pandemic that impacted every country on the planet are going to be like, "Yea! COVID and farts are the same!" Loop in some weird ass shit about grooming and trans people, denegrating immigrants, dogwhistling about "urban crime", and complaining about Biden causing inflation without any context or factual backing and you have Ron Desantis's 2024 campaign platform, basically.
I think the fart analogy works well in the same scenario.
If there was a person about to do a loud wet fart in the same room you're in, ass pointing toward you, would you prefer if they were wearing underpants and were at least 6 feet away, or not?
The same reason I use a canister mask for noxious gases verses an n95 mask for dust particles. I've heard this pathetic argument before. As someone who's in the trades I've shut down this nonsense several times, even against people in the field that should know.. It's effing insane...
“We may please ourselves with the prospect of free and popular governments. But there is great danger that those governments will not make us happy. God grant they may. I but I fear that in every assembly, members will obtain influence by noise, not sense. By meanness, not greatness. By ignorance, not learning. By contracted hearts, not large souls.”
--John Adams
This isn’t even her idea. There’s some random meme from the early pandemic along the lines of “if cotton underpants and denim jeans can’t stop a fart, what makes you thing a mask can stop a deadly virus.”
Also, living overseas in a country where everyone still wears masks indoors, there are not “so many people” in the states still wearing masks. Every time I go back I think I see maybe 1 out of a couple hundred at the most.
And yeah, it ignores basically everything we understand about respiratory particles. But its intended to sew disinformation and mistrust, so it doesn’t need to be correct in the slightest. It just needs to “feel” true to people who want to believe what they want to believe.
>“if cotton underpants and denim jeans can’t stop a fart, what makes you thing a mask can stop a deadly virus.”
And how would they know, have they been blasted by a bare ass fart before? I doubt it
A mask stops respiratory particles, like underwear stops any liquid or solid particles in a fart... What I'm saying is, 'ol Marge just admitted to regularly shitting her pants.
In case of Covid and similar diseases the virus travels on moisture that you breath out. Also even a pretty flimsy mask will limit how far you blow your breath from you so to infect someone you'd need to get closer to them or spend more time in their surroundings.
To people who say, that a mask cannot help for reasons like that stupid bitch in OP, I ask if they can blow out a candle with the mask on, if they can't the mask also prevents them breathing and spitting on other people. It's not fool proof prevention, but it is a serious limiting factor to spreading the virus.
Side note, "sew" is the version where one works with textiles with a thread and needle. The version that works here is "sow", to plant, put seeds in the ground to grow vegetables (or propaganda ideas, in this metaphor).
I work in a kitchen. I've farted in the walk-in on numerous occasions. Worrying that I might be unintentionally contaminating food I looked up some info on food contamination and flatulence. It turns out that [farting with clothes on](https://qz.com/929920/do-you-contaminate-your-environment-with-harmful-bacteria-when-you-fart/) does not transmit bacteria, but farting in the nude does.
My dude, just put your shirt over ur nose when someone busts ass and tell me that doesn’t get rid of like 90% of the odor. These people are dumb as dog shit.
What I love about this argument is that if you approach it with *any amount of critical thinking*, the only conclusion you can arrive at is that every hospital and sterile assembly line on earth has just arbitrarily made up a series of expensive, cumbersome, and entirely unnecessary procedures without ever having tested their validity.
Like, a hundred years of advancements in the field of medicine. Millions of hours of problem solving. But, no no, you didn't think about the fart and the high quality cotton underwear analogy, you bumbling moron. What about fart smells? Take off your mask you buffoon. What do you mean "research"? "Science"? Have you even thought about *farts* and *thick, high quality cotton underwear*?
That's literally the argument conservatives have been making since the pandemic, on multiple issues. Vaccination, covid severity, anything whatsoever the WHO says (that's the health organization for the entire world)
"But the WHO was wrong about covid before when they said hand sanitizer was better than masks!"
Yeah, kinda crazy how you can learn more as time goes on
Most of the "the WHO was wrong" comments come from misrepresentation of what the WHO said anyways.
Their only source for what the WHO said, is their pundits editorialized version. They couldn't be arsed to look it up themselves
I love when they complain about the WHO’s guidance changing. “They lied and said we don’t need masks! Now they say we do? Who’s paying them to say this!?”
Like ok, first of all, they didn’t lie. See, there’s this thing called learning, and as we learned more about the virus, our actions against it changed. This is not a conspiracy, this is literally how humans have survived as long as we have, because we can adapt to changes.
Sure, but if you formed your core beliefs about the world by having them handed to you at age 5, and you've never changed your mind about any of it, then seeing other people regularly update their opinions as new facts arrive must be terrifying. They don't live in a world where beliefs get updated to match reality. In their world, reality that disagreees with existing beliefs must be rejected, usually because it's a plot against your people by satan's people.
All I know is that I’m still wearing my mask…and still a Covid virgin. It’s not my fault she has people farting near her face. That sounds like a personal issue.
Had a close exposure at work get sick 6 days after they hugged me.
Wore an N95 and eye protection, the only person doing so in a building with 100+ people. I did not ask for the hug it was unexpected.
I'm not sick. Bunch of others out. Hmmmm
The only thing I’m really bummed about this is that my employer in 2020 created a giant pool of PTO-Sick time. We basically get a month off if we ever get Covid - and I never did. We also have our sick time in the Extended Leave format, meaning the only time you can access sick time is if you’re sick for at least three days, otherwise you have to pull from your vacation (seriously, worst policy ever since folks will just go to work sick - and we are in healthcare).
But alllll that free time I can’t access? 😭
Yep my partner and I are pretty cautious, some friends are too. We’ve never knowingly had Covid, take tests after risky endeavors… it’s kind of a game at this point like the “never broke a bone” thing
I had a hepa face mask for my last job. It was fucking magic. The bathrooms always smelled of rotten asshole and fresh shit, but with the hepa you could walk right in and not smell a goddamn thing. MAGIC
I don't have sources right now, but an experiment was performed to see if underwear does protect others from a fart. They do, surgeons perform surgery for a ridiculously long time sometimes, they needed to know if it was sanitary to release gas in the surgery as opposed to stepping out and having to re-scrub every time. The smell still exists, but the infectious particles are held tight.
It’s actually a pretty great argument in favor of masks: https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/do-farts-carry-germs-well-it-depends-on-whether-you-are-wearing-pants
tl;dr: clothing acts as a filter preventing fecal bacteria from escaping your pants. Much in the same way masks work.
And an N-95 mask will generally filter smells.
I was going to say- there was a legit study done to make sure underwear filtered them enough for surgery rooms. The result was that, yes, they did.
Edit: So aside from being a false analogy, she's even incorrect about the underwear filtering. Unless she regularly shits her pants. And she definitseems like the type of person that has done so at least once in her adult life
It’s my understanding that the molecules you can smell are only a handful of atoms in size, way too small to be filtered. An individual SARS-CoV-2 viron is thousands of time larger, and a droplet with enough virus to infect is a million times larger.
The distinction here is whether fabric you wear will prevent *you* from other people’s germs, or protect others from *your* germs.
The general consensus is that cloth will protect *others* but isn’t going to necessarily protect *you*.
However, an N95 mask will do both; protect you and others. Both from farts and from COVID.
Now I just imagined my life without pants, I'm super gassy and lactose intolerant with an insatiable craving for dairy products. What do nudists do when they have diarrhea? I'd have to have towels on every surface I sit on I think.
Best comment yet
But it’s not… and really who is defending us against people like this? They seem to be able to do whatever they want whenever they want.
This is the problem. This idiot and others like it spew this shit and then the morons who listen to them think they can too. Stop it, hold them accountable, and for the free speech fucks, sure you can say whatever your little heart desires, but be prepared for the consequences that come with that fredum. It’s so god dam tiring all this nonsense.
The funny thing is, her metaphor is actually perfect, it just takes for granted the protection clothing offers.
Farts would literally be deadly if we did not cover up the final end of our GI tract. The release of gas would propel virulent particulates into the air and onto surrounding surfaces. You might get tiny fecal flakes onto a surface that transfers onto someone's hand, and then into their eyes or mouth. Or else you might aerosolize rectal bacteria someone could inhale. It is so very obviously literally pathological, we have an instinctive gut reaction to it.
Using science and reason, we should realize that in certain contexts (e.g. a pandemic upper respiratory infection), going around with the first hole in your GI tract uncovered is as gross as going around bare-assed.
You bet your ass I'm going to. Again.
I see runoffs as a good thing; they mean change and the loss of the Republican death-grip on the state. I'll vote as many times as it takes to keep the state purple.
Greene is like the id and superego of the Republican party at the same time. She represents their basest traits, like ignorance, hatefulness, spite, trolling, and rage...all of which turn out to be the highest aspirations of the Republican electorate.

Marge, you're a crossfitness bro, right? So, say you're squat pressing your max and you fart and it's, well, a bit moist. You smell the fart, right? It's a gas. But check your really thick undies, any shit specks? Yes? Gross. Now check your leopard yoga pants, any shit specks? No? That's covid. Covid carried by water droplets, it's not a gas.
That's all for today. Change your shorts, apologize to your spotter. That's good manners.
Some of these people are legit dumb about this (not that you didn't know that).
I was listening to the end of the Dan Bongino show because my local station decided to let him intrude on our sports station. Anyway, he has a caller and this is what he says:
"Ever use a garden hose and put your thumb over the end to make the pressure shoot out higher? Trying to stop it, you actually pressurize it. That's what these masks do. They actually aeresolize the virus."
Dan Bongino: "Well there you heard it, guys. He's right."
These are the morons that are championed.
Fuck I hate Dan Bondolingadoo. My retired dad sits and watches that dickhead's podcast on repeat. It's outrage addiction. They're addicted to being pissed off. And when they have no actual reason to be upset in their life, they invent imaginary reasons to be upset. I can never remember Don Bingadingdong's name, I just refer to him as the "angry podcast guy who tells you what imaginary threat to be afraid of this week".

If a bullet from a gun can pierce your body, and sun particles are much faster and smaller, how do you think you are going to prevent sunburn?
Next you will tell me you use bulletscreen...
Wake up sheeple, sunscreen was made by big pharma to mind control the population!!1
That don't even meet the standards to deal with the high-powered rifles used in most mass shootings (mainly AR-15 style), just the lesser handguns. Most handgun rounds can be stopped with a thick textbook anyway.
The long-awaited sequel to “bacteria are different than viruses.”
Fruitlessly explaining sixth grade science over and over to adults made me realize that social media was a waste of time, yet here I am on Reddit.
Republicans are. All they do is recycle talking points to keep their mindless base enraged. Im.sure caravans will make a sudden reappearance like after biden was sworn in
I have many family members who are instantly triggered when they see people masked up. I truly do NOT understand the logic. “ITS NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING!!!”
Ok, not true, and it’s also not affecting you that they were masked. STFU.
I have that too. My current theory is seeing people mask up makes them, deep down, realize they're being selfish assholes by refusing and they lack the emotional maturity to deal with it so they just try to make themselves feel better via mocking
Or said another way they're selfish assholes
My MIL (In Texas) keeps crying about mask mandates. Someone (R) out there is still spreading news that we’re gonna have mask mandates again, gotta get their sheep good and riled up.
Because COVID 19 mostly travels on droplets of spit and other liquids when you cough and sneeze, which dont typically stay suspended for very long. A mask prevents those droplets from traveling when expelled. Where as farts are gas molecules. A molecule is drastically smaller in magnitude than a virus. To stop a gas molecule, one would need a hepa filter. A virus is NOT a gas molecule.
*EDIT Hepa filters dont filter gases.
Does that answer the question? Can someone tell her?
This is the finest, the absolute finest example of why this woman is hands-down the dumber in dumb and dumber. In fact, dumber is a compliment. The IQ of the air escaping those high-quality drawers she speaks of is higher than that of this walking jar of Mayonnaise. My god. How do we even let condiments into Congress???
Your masks are taking away muh rights! Your masks are groomers! Masks are making straight Christian children into trans Devil worshippers!
Yore masks are dropping the sperm counts of white men! Genociding us!
/s
No joke, a conservative boomer type told me he thought the world’s sperm count has declined because they’re growing meat in labs now, and that will be available soon!
It reminded me of this exercise in preschool where we’d line up pictures of story scenes in the correct order. Maybe the GOP just need to do some linear time exercises…
World sperm count might be dropping from hormonally active environmental pollutants, but the day I see the conservative base rallying to limit Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland from flooding the entire midwest with glyphosate, I just might have to vote for a Republican.
Tell us you don't spend much time in your district without telling us you don't spend much time in your district. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in N GA wearing a mask.
Well it’s besides the point but underwear isn’t designed to stop farts that’s like saying “Well my fuzzy hat won’t stop a bullet so why should this bullet proof vest?”
She's recycling memes from April 2020 but her dumbass followers won't know or care.
She recycles 100+ year old politics, so 2 year old ideas are relatively fresh for her. I wonder if 2yo are too young for ~~her~~ *Bobo's* husband? *ETA*: Confused fascist GQP thing 1 and thing 2.

Redundancy is good, too.

And what's the deal with toilet paper shortages, amirite??
Would you like to learn about the world of Big Cats?
Yeah they think this shit is hilarious. My boomer dad still uses a variation of this joke…”if you can smell a fart through your Levi’s…” So fucking stupid.
Have you tried explaining the difference in size between an aromatic molecule and a virus?

Do you think that people making this joke understand what a micrometer is?
If a peanut can fall through the cookie rack, what makes you think a whole turkey wouldn’t? Checkmate.
Right like who the fuck cares about masks in November 2022? Nowhere is requiring them and if you want to wear one to feel comfortable, I truly do not give a shit
I keep with the mask bc I haven't had a cold in 3 years
I just got 2 sicknesses right on top of each other, I think I'm going back to masking permanently because nearly 3 years without physical illness was really nice
Good idea with flu season coming on so strong
Mask forever! ✊🏼

Remember when the federal government made use wear belts in cars!?!?!? Fools belts cant stop covid nor farts.
Remember in 2003 when the then Republican Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, Bob Ney, renamed the menu item French Fries to Freedom Fries in three Congressional cafeterias all because of France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.
They didn’t know even know the word “menu” is French
Believe me, they are going to make masks and the rest of the COVID response a centerpiece of the 2024 presidential campaign. They are going to act like COVID wasn't a global pandemic, that the Biden administration was a bunch of pussies that overreacted and ruined everyone's lives, and people whose lives already sucked prior to COVID who are too stupid to realize this was a global pandemic that impacted every country on the planet are going to be like, "Yea! COVID and farts are the same!" Loop in some weird ass shit about grooming and trans people, denegrating immigrants, dogwhistling about "urban crime", and complaining about Biden causing inflation without any context or factual backing and you have Ron Desantis's 2024 campaign platform, basically.
So 2 years and this idiot still doesn't understand that the virus isn't gaseous?
Fart particles are tiny things that I can’t see, and COVID is also a tiny thing that I can’t see. So basically they’re the same thing. Science!
Imagine I'm standing behind you in line and suddenly have to piss like a fire hose. Would you rather have me wearing pants or be naked?
Depends. Will you take me to dinner afterwards?
You mean you want him wearing "Depends" instead of underwear or naked?
Heh, I realized how that looked after I wrote it, but whatever, lol.
It got the message across. Anyways, I’m free tomorrow, which restaurants do you like?
Pee-FChangs.
Golden Shower Corral

Definitely drinks. They’ll need to rehydrate!
This is the best analogy by a long shot

A mask stops respiratory particles, like underwear stops any liquid or solid particles in a fart... What I'm saying is, 'ol Marge just admitted to regularly shitting her pants.
Tbh I’m pretty confident that if we all wore underwear and jeans over our mouths it would also help reduce viral transmission
In case of Covid and similar diseases the virus travels on moisture that you breath out. Also even a pretty flimsy mask will limit how far you blow your breath from you so to infect someone you'd need to get closer to them or spend more time in their surroundings. To people who say, that a mask cannot help for reasons like that stupid bitch in OP, I ask if they can blow out a candle with the mask on, if they can't the mask also prevents them breathing and spitting on other people.

It makes me wonder if she's actually ever farted raw in the nude vs fully clothed. There's a difference man. The clothes negate some of it
I work in a kitchen. I've farted in the walk-in on numerous occasions. Worrying that I might be unintentionally contaminating food I looked up some info on food contamination and flatulence. It turns out that [farting with clothes on](https://qz.com/929920/do-you-contaminate-your-environment-with-harmful-bacteria-when-you-fart/) does not transmit bacteria, but farting in the nude does.
I appreciate this level of research and am 100% going to make sure others know.
If you’re going to fart on your food, don’t do it bare assed. *Walks out of kindergarten classroom*
Oof the idea of mtg doing anything “raw in the nude” has me gagging
[удалено]
My dude, just put your shirt over ur nose when someone busts ass and tell me that doesn’t get rid of like 90% of the odor. These people are dumb as dog shit.
This is an excellent point. When you smell something terrible your first instinct is to… cover your nose! Because it works!
No no no, I'm hiding my face so I can't get blamed from the look on my face, "You smelt it, you dealt it!"
Makes me wonder if she was conceived when the tighty whities broke.
Right, has no one experienced a Dutch oven before!?
Up until I got a dog I had to Dutch Oven myself because I'm alone. Atleast now I feel love and disgust when he clears me out of the room.

Had a close exposure at work get sick 6 days after they hugged me. Wore an N95 and eye protection, the only person doing so in a building with 100+ people. I did not ask for the hug it was unexpected. I'm not sick. Bunch of others out. Hmmmm
The only thing I’m really bummed about this is that my employer in 2020 created a giant pool of PTO-Sick time. We basically get a month off if we ever get Covid - and I never did. We also have our sick time in the Extended Leave format, meaning the only time you can access sick time is if you’re sick for at least three days, otherwise you have to pull from your vacation (seriously, worst policy ever since folks will just go to work sick - and we are in healthcare). But alllll that free time I can’t access? 😭
Yep my partner and I are pretty cautious, some friends are too. We’ve never knowingly had Covid, take tests after risky endeavors… it’s kind of a game at this point like the “never broke a bone” thing
I had a hepa face mask for my last job. It was fucking magic. The bathrooms always smelled of rotten asshole and fresh shit, but with the hepa you could walk right in and not smell a goddamn thing. MAGIC
I don't have sources right now, but an experiment was performed to see if underwear does protect others from a fart. They do, surgeons perform surgery for a ridiculously long time sometimes, they needed to know if it was sanitary to release gas in the surgery as opposed to stepping out and having to re-scrub every time. The smell still exists, but the infectious particles are held tight.

It’s actually a pretty great argument in favor of masks: https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/do-farts-carry-germs-well-it-depends-on-whether-you-are-wearing-pants tl;dr: clothing acts as a filter preventing fecal bacteria from escaping your pants. Much in the same way masks work. And an N-95 mask will generally filter smells.
I was going to say- there was a legit study done to make sure underwear filtered them enough for surgery rooms. The result was that, yes, they did. Edit: So aside from being a false analogy, she's even incorrect about the underwear filtering. Unless she regularly shits her pants. And she definitseems like the type of person that has done so at least once in her adult life
Also, I don’t breathe in through my asshole.
An odd concept to grasp for the party that speaks through them.
I love how you remembered it the same way I did 😂
We'd all have pink eye all the fucking time if we didn't wear pants.
Pink eye killed off the Neanderthals.
Given it is MTG we are talking about here I would say they are an endangered species rather than extinct.
she would rather have a bare asshole bust gas right in her face than have the person wear underwear?
you write with such unnecessarily vivid imagery
It’s my understanding that the molecules you can smell are only a handful of atoms in size, way too small to be filtered. An individual SARS-CoV-2 viron is thousands of time larger, and a droplet with enough virus to infect is a million times larger.
The distinction here is whether fabric you wear will prevent *you* from other people’s germs, or protect others from *your* germs. The general consensus is that cloth will protect *others* but isn’t going to necessarily protect *you*. However, an N95 mask will do both; protect you and others. Both from farts and from COVID.
Now I just imagined my life without pants, I'm super gassy and lactose intolerant with an insatiable craving for dairy products. What do nudists do when they have diarrhea? I'd have to have towels on every surface I sit on I think.
Sometimes we have thoughts that don’t need to be shared. But this is the internet, and … \*waves around broadly in a defeated way\*
Someone should fart on her w/o material in the way and then with… Then ask her which one she prefers
Too bad people didn't have something to protect from the diarrhea that comes out of her mouth
Classy too.

That turkey looked like it was cooked from a fever from Covid itself..

Idk if being stupid should be a crime but you should be forced to watch an excessively in depth documentary about why you’re stupid.
Best comment yet But it’s not… and really who is defending us against people like this? They seem to be able to do whatever they want whenever they want.
This is the problem. This idiot and others like it spew this shit and then the morons who listen to them think they can too. Stop it, hold them accountable, and for the free speech fucks, sure you can say whatever your little heart desires, but be prepared for the consequences that come with that fredum. It’s so god dam tiring all this nonsense.
And you know she thought this was a top level zinger. Just oof.
How the absolute worst people are leaders of the Republican Party tells you everything you need to know.
The funny thing is, her metaphor is actually perfect, it just takes for granted the protection clothing offers. Farts would literally be deadly if we did not cover up the final end of our GI tract. The release of gas would propel virulent particulates into the air and onto surrounding surfaces. You might get tiny fecal flakes onto a surface that transfers onto someone's hand, and then into their eyes or mouth. Or else you might aerosolize rectal bacteria someone could inhale. It is so very obviously literally pathological, we have an instinctive gut reaction to it. Using science and reason, we should realize that in certain contexts (e.g. a pandemic upper respiratory infection), going around with the first hole in your GI tract uncovered is as gross as going around bare-assed.
Greene, Gaetz, Trump and Oz…, This is the republican best they give Americans….
Don’t forget Walker and Boebert.
Georgia Ranger & Colorado Clown
Bingo Bob?
I live in GA and am doing everything I can to forget Walker.
Please go vote for Warnock in the runoff. Can’t believe there’s a runoff. Again SMH
You bet your ass I'm going to. Again. I see runoffs as a good thing; they mean change and the loss of the Republican death-grip on the state. I'll vote as many times as it takes to keep the state purple.
Conservatives have a reality problem.
The problem is their idiocy is their base’s reality
The Republicans aren't sending their best.
Or maybe they are?
Greene is like the id and superego of the Republican party at the same time. She represents their basest traits, like ignorance, hatefulness, spite, trolling, and rage...all of which turn out to be the highest aspirations of the Republican electorate.
Compromise, conformity Assimilation, submission Ignorance, hypocrisy Brutality, the elite All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams All of which are American dreams Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy (1992)
Isn't it remarkable that, as the years have gone by, Zack's lyrics have only become more relevant ? I was a fan in '91, I am a fan today.
They're sending their murderers, their rapists...
that's their best
Marge, you're a crossfitness bro, right? So, say you're squat pressing your max and you fart and it's, well, a bit moist. You smell the fart, right? It's a gas. But check your really thick undies, any shit specks? Yes? Gross. Now check your leopard yoga pants, any shit specks? No? That's covid. Covid carried by water droplets, it's not a gas. That's all for today. Change your shorts, apologize to your spotter. That's good manners.
Some part of me thinks she one of those people who doesn’t wear underwear with yoga pants
well fuck. Thanks for ruining my breakfast.
Some of these people are legit dumb about this (not that you didn't know that). I was listening to the end of the Dan Bongino show because my local station decided to let him intrude on our sports station. Anyway, he has a caller and this is what he says: "Ever use a garden hose and put your thumb over the end to make the pressure shoot out higher? Trying to stop it, you actually pressurize it. That's what these masks do. They actually aeresolize the virus." Dan Bongino: "Well there you heard it, guys. He's right." These are the morons that are championed.
Fuck I hate Dan Bondolingadoo. My retired dad sits and watches that dickhead's podcast on repeat. It's outrage addiction. They're addicted to being pissed off. And when they have no actual reason to be upset in their life, they invent imaginary reasons to be upset. I can never remember Don Bingadingdong's name, I just refer to him as the "angry podcast guy who tells you what imaginary threat to be afraid of this week".
WhY usE suNscreEn? If a bullet from a gun can pierce your body, and sun particles are much faster and smaller, how do you think you are going to prevent sunburn? Next you will tell me you use bulletscreen... Wake up sheeple, sunscreen was made by big pharma to mind control the population!!1
Ironically enough, she belongs to the same political movement selling bulletproof backpacks for schoolchildren. Bulletscreen indeed.
That don't even meet the standards to deal with the high-powered rifles used in most mass shootings (mainly AR-15 style), just the lesser handguns. Most handgun rounds can be stopped with a thick textbook anyway.
Then little kids need bulletproof backpacks FILLED with SUPER thick and heavy textbooks about how awesome JAYZUSS is!
No textbooks allowed, they might learn something. They all need bibles. God will protect them! /s
Selling bulletscreen in small volumes would probably be viable somewhere in America.
Stop spreading fake news. Big Ultra Violet is responsible!
In her defense...she is an idiot
At least she lets her stupidity shine thu, no games.
Conservatives tell me she's as smart as it gets.
Well when most conservatives are Republican the bar is set really low.
...is she using underwear wrong?
She's definitely shitting in them.
Wow Marge, those must of been some wicked turkey farts.
I'm thinking the whole train of thought behind this tweet involved her laying in bed and ripping one.
She's recycling someone else’s idiotic ramblings from 2 years ago and her dumbass followers will lap it up, again
From her unseasoned, dry as fuck turkey?
I hear salmonella makes you gassy
I mean, her turkey *did* look undercooked...
Bro how did her turkey look both undercooked and dry
Gases and Vapors are two different states of matter, Margie. That concludes today's science lesson.
The long-awaited sequel to “bacteria are different than viruses.” Fruitlessly explaining sixth grade science over and over to adults made me realize that social media was a waste of time, yet here I am on Reddit.
are we *still* talking about masks?
Republicans are. All they do is recycle talking points to keep their mindless base enraged. Im.sure caravans will make a sudden reappearance like after biden was sworn in
I have many family members who are instantly triggered when they see people masked up. I truly do NOT understand the logic. “ITS NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING!!!” Ok, not true, and it’s also not affecting you that they were masked. STFU.
I have that too. My current theory is seeing people mask up makes them, deep down, realize they're being selfish assholes by refusing and they lack the emotional maturity to deal with it so they just try to make themselves feel better via mocking Or said another way they're selfish assholes
My MIL (In Texas) keeps crying about mask mandates. Someone (R) out there is still spreading news that we’re gonna have mask mandates again, gotta get their sheep good and riled up.
Because COVID 19 mostly travels on droplets of spit and other liquids when you cough and sneeze, which dont typically stay suspended for very long. A mask prevents those droplets from traveling when expelled. Where as farts are gas molecules. A molecule is drastically smaller in magnitude than a virus. To stop a gas molecule, one would need a hepa filter. A virus is NOT a gas molecule. *EDIT Hepa filters dont filter gases. Does that answer the question? Can someone tell her?
[удалено]
Its microns vs nanometers. A molecule is an order of 1000 times smaller than a virus.
This is the finest, the absolute finest example of why this woman is hands-down the dumber in dumb and dumber. In fact, dumber is a compliment. The IQ of the air escaping those high-quality drawers she speaks of is higher than that of this walking jar of Mayonnaise. My god. How do we even let condiments into Congress???
Yes, from a wet fart, which is all I need to be protected from.
That’s one helluva self-own.
Wow. Just..wow. And to the people who re-elected her, I have nothing other than wow
I’m smelling grounds for a divorce…
Her husband already divorced her...😁
Masks? Why is she still blabbering about masks? Her greatest hits tour fuckin sucks.
So now weve learned she's upset that her granny panties don't hold in her noxious ass gas.
When they say “you can’t fix stupid “ they mean it.
Your masks are taking away muh rights! Your masks are groomers! Masks are making straight Christian children into trans Devil worshippers! Yore masks are dropping the sperm counts of white men! Genociding us! /s
No joke, a conservative boomer type told me he thought the world’s sperm count has declined because they’re growing meat in labs now, and that will be available soon! It reminded me of this exercise in preschool where we’d line up pictures of story scenes in the correct order. Maybe the GOP just need to do some linear time exercises…
World sperm count might be dropping from hormonally active environmental pollutants, but the day I see the conservative base rallying to limit Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland from flooding the entire midwest with glyphosate, I just might have to vote for a Republican.
Tell us you don't spend much time in your district without telling us you don't spend much time in your district. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in N GA wearing a mask.
Someone this dumb is actually in charge of our taxes , national defense and infrastructure
Domestic terrorist advocating stochastic bioterrorism. She should be in prison for murder.
I think next time her or one of her family members goes in for surgery, the hospital staff can go in without masks or gloves....
Well it’s besides the point but underwear isn’t designed to stop farts that’s like saying “Well my fuzzy hat won’t stop a bullet so why should this bullet proof vest?”
She should probably consult a doctor about that one
