Every day, it seems more and more apparent that MTG is a Russian asset.
I think she should be rebranded with a Russian equivalent name: Mardzhori Teylor Beskhitrostnyy.
“Beskhitrostnyy” means “green” as in “unsophisticated”.
Even just calling her “Mardzhori Teylor” would be a step in the right direction. It would be something.
A pardon would imply that a crime has been committed, which would implicate the former guy. Trump seemed to favor pardoning assholes to virtue signal his tough guy, white power persona.
IMHO, Mardzhori Teylor is acting like a Russian asset: sow discord and confusion, debase the office of congressperson, spread hate and misinformation, and slow down any positive movement by the government. That’s what we see publicly. God knows what information she’s sending to her handlers - it doesn’t even have to be top secret or especially confidential: travel plans, the layout of government buildings, any weak points that could be compromised. It’s like KGB 101.
When you think about what made Trump so horrible, though, it wasn’t necessarily that he was effective. Aggressive and short-sighted incompetence is perfectly capable of breaking governments too.
Sending checks to only 60,000 families isn’t going to do shit to curb inflation, especially when it’s only $450. It’s a state of over 20 million people, FFS. Talk about performative BS. At least the tax rebates that my state sent out went to everyone.
