She declared independence from reality years ago.
Just FYI, here who is running against her in the 14th…
I guess it’s not even worth wondering why her list of ‘signers’ under the age of 35 lists three guys older than that? We just assume she doesn’t know how numbers work?
Was the War of Independence over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No!
Paul Revere!
Yet they took all the credit for the Revolution and stuff. Traitors!
Wasn’t it retaliation for the Bowling Green Massacre?
Well, uh, at least she got the names (and presumably ages) of those people correct? Granted, she copied and pasted, but she copied and pasted correctly.
I wondered if it was a spoken utterance (and thus not necessarily a list of people under 35, but simply an observation followed by a random list of people), but no, it’s not only written (with that punctuation), but it’s very much formatted as “here’s the list of the people under 35.” (Which also makes it weird that she specified there were more than a dozen and then only listed 8, but given everything else that’s wrong…)
Seems like she’s constantly making those attempts and then immediately failing…
Is this supposed to be some sort of ageist jab at Biden? Never mind Trump is almost the same age, and also a twice-impeached, two-time popular vote losing, convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist.
Don’t confuse her or other merkin von bankrupt worshippers with facts, they just get more angry.
No no no. She’s right! That’s totally true! I saw it in that documentary about the Americans taking control of the airports during the American Revolution!
Marge is 50 - she should retire.
Oh, c’mon. She clearly meant Paul Revere from Paul Revere and the Raiders, and he definitely signed the Declaration of Independence in (checks sources) 1961. It’s what the song “Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon” is about.
