THE CLOWN SHOW

Greene Is Selling Divorce With Her Unending Lies

It does sound idyllic, doesn’t it?

Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again opened her mouth — this time to declare that red states need to divorce from the USA. Marj — that’s a fucking dream come true.

Being rejected once isn’t enough for Cruella. So she’s back for more.

Of course, this is from the same deranged mind that wants to prohibit people from voting if they move from a blue state to a red state. You do this when your party members prefer to walk in lockstep with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

So let’s go before a judge to decide how the states will divide their assets.

Georgia has 14 congressional seats, nine of which are Republican. The state has two seats in the Senate, both filled by Democrats.

Now you may think nine Republican congressional seats outweigh the Senate seats. They don’t. First, the apparent leader of the Georgia Clown Show is the eminent (yeah, I laughed when I wrote that) Rep. Taylor Greene, aka Cruella.

However, the Senate is considered the upper house of government for two reasons: there are just 100 members who are elected for six-year terms. The Senate also has powers the House does not, such as approving cabinet appointments and federal judges.

The power of the Senate thus outweighs that of the House, led by Speaker Charlie McCarthy. Long story short, Greene must immigrate to a neighboring red state and run for a House seat there.

Red states will have the advantage in crops and cattle. If they seek to use that advantage by withholding needed crops and foods, blue states can build walls around their red-state neighbors. Restrictions include severe tariffs for any products moving out of red states. Also, family members with carnal knowledge of each other will not be allowed outside the walls. Keep that shit in your own family.

If you’re a Proud Boy, Oath Keeper, Nazi, book burner, or a chubby guy wearing white boots in Florida while spewing hate for people who are not white, straight, or trans, stay on your side of the fucking fence. If you choose to breed ignorance, keep it in your backyard.

If red-state lovers are upset over being unable to visit relatives in blue states, consider yourselves lucky. North Korea routinely shoots defectors.

If you can read more than lyrics to your favorite country song, blue states may issue a 72-hour visa. If you overstay your visa, a responsible adult must be at the wall to take custody of the troublemaker. Your access to blue states will be permanently revoked.

Fox News broadcasts will be restricted to red states. I know that won’t bother Tucker Carlson and Rupert Murdoch because they make this shit up as they go along.

Once the divorce is final, TikTok will be the sole entertainment option for red states. It will also be an alternate source of news. After all, these fuckers believe anything they hear on Faux News.

Sadly, Greene’s lunacy could lead to another civil war. She and her Republican cohorts don’t care. They want one thing: to return the United States to pre-1861 conditions.

Republicans, by and large, loathe gay and transgender people and people of color. Nor do Republicans want an educated base. Republicans focus on indoctrinating people through religion — or at least thoughts and prayers, which heal everything. Just ask the victims of mass shootings. If people can think for themselves, they know their party is in trouble.

Following Trump’s example, Republicans like Greene, Kari Lake, and the rest of the mob will continue to lie until that lie becomes true.

Of course, a divorce is not ideal. The violence that follows will surpass that of the Civil War. We don’t need more monuments to the dead.

But extremists like Greene, Trump, and countless others should be treated like the plague they are. Otherwise, they will continue to feed off others while fattening their coffers.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for stopping by.

I accept tips, which go directly to Dining for Hunger, a recognized 501(c)(3) organization that looks to end food insecurity. If you can spare a dollar or two, I’d be grateful.
