Out of a trebuchet pointed at a wall.

Trebuchet yes, but still at the sun. No, she won't reach. That's okay. Parabolas are beautiful. Don't @ me.

It would be better if we used a catapult, that bitch doesn't deserve the perfection that is the trebuchet

She's a House Representative. As long as the public in her district in, I believe, Georgia, keeps wanting her to be the one to speak for them, she's gonna stay.

Georgia's 14th district.

I disagree, she's a Horseman of the Apcolypse.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

She is the best representative Georgia chooses to send. They like being just this fucking dumb. Send her once, you got tricked. Send her twice? You're just stupid and obviously angry enough to hurt everyone else just because you're in pain.
