Man... don't involve her in our bullshit.

I love the idea of Biden giving her honors, inviting her to the White House and talking with her, basically so that she can know that there are people on her side, to some degree, something like that.

The State of the Union isn't that. Marjorie Taylor Green is going to scream at her that she's secretly a transgender dolphin and Navalny was trying to steal all the gold that Dr. Evil buried under the Kremlin in 1966. Jim Jordan will try to serve her a subpeona so he can finally get to the bottom of Hunter Biden's laptop. There's all kinds of weird bullshit that goes on in the U.S. congress, and I genuinely don't think it's polite to expose her to it.

Just let us have our weird governmental thanksgiving with all our weird uncles and have the serious stuff happen somewhere else.

Would love to have seen Jon Stewart read that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene...Jim Jordan...all our weird uncles

If only we could find a way to lock 'em all up in the same basement.

Hey! The basement is reserved for the catholic church. Weird Uncles get the attic.

[–] spider@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 months ago

It's amusing to see Weird Uncles spelled in caps, but not the church.

I agree all the crazy stuff will happen, but I think she's dealt with worse at this point. Her husband was literally poisoned and imprisoned by her government. I don't think the lunatics in our government can do much worse.

Actually, MTG's compromisation aside, the two of them actually have a lot of policy stances in common. Navalny was anti-muslim xenophobe. Sure, he was the only one with the balls and following to stand up to Putin for so long, but it doesn't change the quality of their character.
